Honestly - who doesn't love a good nude? I know that I used to be out of the majority and hate them. It wasn't anything to do with how they looked on other people, it was how they looked on me. For the longest time, I could NOT pull off a nude lipstick to save my life. But I realized that it takes a little digging to find exactly what you want, so I did exactly that and found a pile of beautiful nude lipsticks that have changed my life! In fact, I found so many that I was able to take them and compile a list for someone who had just as many struggles as me in finding the perfect nude lipstick Here are my 5 nude lipsticks that I couldn't live without! 1. Anastasia Beverly Hills - Matte Lipstick (Buff, $18) I swear, there is no lip "stick" formula that I've been more in love with than I have this ABH one. Buff is an absolute showstopper with rich pigment, one swipe coverage, and a long wear time. The color is a beautiful rose-nude that can add tha...

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...

If you're regularly reading my blog, you probably are just as addicted to Sephora as I am and know exactly what to do to get the most value out of your purchases. However, there's still so many people who are new to Sephora that maybe don't know all of the ins and outs of purchasing products and getting the crazy number of freebies and fun sized goodies and want to get in on the secrets of Sephora. This post will be geared towards those who have just started purchasing high end products at Sephora, those who still don't know everything there is to know, or anyone who needs a refresher on all the great deals that you can get involved on during your Sephora trips. It's a given that I'll be stepping in to the mall to find the newest, craziest, most raved about, and innovative makeup on the high-end market at least once a week. This can obviously rack up quite a bill, but with the right know-how, you can make your dollar go much farther than you'd expect. ...

You know what's really convenient about living 3 miles from your nearest Sephora? You can ask your boyfriend to take you at almost any makeup inconvenience. This time, it was a case of "Babe! I'm doing this makeup look and I need a lip color to go with it! I'm thinking a vamp red or berry!" Unlike most, Vlad is actually very enthusiastic about going to makeup stores. He tends to find crazy and unique products better than I can, and usually I wind up purchasing them. Unfortunately, I didn't take time to play with the Boscia Charcoal Jelly Ball like he does every time it's out on display, I went straight to the lipsticks. I had a list of specific lipsticks to check out - it was an in-and-out sort of deal. First I'd look at the Anastasia Beverly Hills lippies, then Smashbox, then Huda, make my decision, then leave. Of course, with my eyes gravitated towards sparkly eyeshadows and weird masks (much like a bird with shiny things) we spent the bet...

It is most definitely midnight when I'm writing this. I managed to get my boyfriend to clean out his workshop and let me tell you, it looks fantastic. I'll be doing edits to this site as I progress with blogging - for now, I'm focusing on making it more mobile friendly. I'm very sorry that this wasn't done before I launched my blog. There's also now a comments section I'd love for you to check out! Since my blogs don't allow for commenting, you can leave your feedback there. :) I just recently discovered the world of high-end skincare and the wonders it can do. Being a girl with combination-oily skin that's also extremely sensitive, it's hard for me to find *the right* products. My skin is also very keen on adapting quickly to products, which is unfortunate because I find myself continually purchasing new skincare at least once a month. Lucky for me, this find originally came to me in a 100 point Beauty Insider purchase back in January.....

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited about this review. To celebrate the launch of my blog as well as my progression on Instagram, Vlad and I decided to take to Sephora and pick up a couple of new products for reviews. I had heard from somewhere that if you ask nicely about what they have in the back and there are no heavy regulations surrounding it, you can sometimes score new release products early. Of course, I decided to try this out for myself. I asked an employee if they happened to have the new Kat Von D Shade & Light Glimmer palette (Due to release 7/11/17), and she was happy to show me the stock as well as the tester. By the time I was about to leave the store, I saw a gaggle of employees swatching the product. One even turned around to tell me "Oh yeah, we're just over here in love with your new palette! I hope you like it!"  I left a happy camper to say the least. The new and unreleased Glimmer palette was in my hands and I was ready to ...
