Before I get into this, can you believe that 2017 is over? I remember spending Valentine's day with my boyfriend and then all of a sudden - poof! The holidays are over and we're counting down from 10. I'll let you know that my holiday was amazing - I spent it cuddled up with Vlad, duh... It was the first time I spent this time away from my family, and while it was a bit scary, I got acclimated fast and enjoyed every moment. Anyway, this isn't about the holidays, this is about the makeup of the year. I wanted to give everyone a list of what I was blown away by this year and stuck with longer than I expected, and what I trashed, donated, or took back almost immediately. Without further adieu.... let's get started with the best: 1. Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Palette This palette was totally left field for me, because I wanted absolutely nothing to do with Jaclyn Hill or endorsing her in any way. Admittedly, I don't like the way she presents herself and never re...

How many of you are lash ADDICTS? I just discovered the world of false lashes not too long ago, when I realized my looks needed a little more "extra-ness" (because adding glitter and calling it a day was just not enough for me). As I was falling deeper and deeper into a lash-hole that I honestly couldn't seem to get out of, I noticed one thing - to get those luxurious Instagram-Quality lashes, you'll likely have to spend upwards of $25-$30 per pair. Obviously still as a beginner with lashes, it's just not in my budget to spend all of that on something I'll likely be destroying and tossing. I think the most I've ever spent on lashes is $15 on my House of Lashes x Sephora Collection Cécile pair, and let me just say - they are my holy grails. The style is complimenting to every look that I create, and because I've been using them with almost every look (seriously, you can check my Instagram  @Lys_Glitz  and see just how much I love these lashes), ...

I feel as though no matter what happens, I'm always going to want more when it comes to makeup. "Best lipstick ever?" Well sign me up, but I want this other lipstick too. "MIRACLE FACE MASK??" Great, I also want this other one. Long story short, I spend so much time looking for the next best grab that I often forget to give notice to the makeup that I already have that I've been absolutely in love with this month. I figured with all of the constant hype about the next best thing, I would take a minute to wind down from my obsession with makeup hunting and acknowledge what beauty products have got me through August that I totally recommend if you haven't tried them already. 1. Milk Makeup - Blur Liquid Matte Foundation ($40) If you've read my previous post on this foundation, you already know how much I love it. Influenster was sweet enough to send me two bottles of the new Milk Makeup Blur Liquid Matte Foundation to try and review for fr...
