I remember seeing the Lorac Unzipped Palette on a few blogs and I just fell in love with it. So when Ulta was offering 10x the points on Lorac products I knew it was the perfect time to pick it up! (And then promptly started my makeup buying ban...is September over yet?) It's such a gorgeous nude palette, perfect for everyday wear but the deeper shades are great to add a little drama to the look. I've really loved using this palette the past couple weeks. The colors are some of my ...
The Lipstick Diaries: Maybelline Color Blur Lipstick
A few months ago I picked up one of the Maybelline Color Blur Lipsticks while browsing Bed Bath & Beyond. For some reason they always seem to have new makeup releases before anywhere else around here. Then finally they were released at Ulta and on a buy one get one half off deal so of course I had to pick up two more! The formula is really lovely. They glide on without any tugging on the lips and the small applicator actually makes it quite easy to control. They have a matte finish and ...
Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow – Review & Swatches
So it was about three in the morning when I realized that yesterday was Wednesday and not Tuesday and that I hadn't finished up a post yet. Sorry about that! We've been away for the past few days visiting my sister and brother in law at their new home in Rhode Island. I didn't even touch my laptop once surprisingly. But keep an eye out for posts on my travel makeup bag and the Newport Cliff Walk. After one use I knew Maybelline's Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze would be one of my favorite ...
Tarte Blushes – Review & Swatches
I’m a blush girl. It’s sort of become a necessity, otherwise I look like I haven’t seen the sunlight for a few years. I swear I do go outside, I just like to protect my skin! Anyway, I’m a huge fan of Tarte in general. I love their products and their packaging is always gorgeous. If I know I’m going to have a particularly long day I most likely will reach for a Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Wear Blush. I just know they’re going to last through pretty much everything. Unfortunately I ...
Back to School Wishlist
Despite the fact that I've been out of school for a few years now, I always have an urge to go through all the new school supplies at the shops when August comes around. I mean I could always use another notebook, right? However, I did make the mistake of stopping by Target the week school starts and never again. Such chaos, so much screaming. Anyway, back to the point! I thought I'd make a little back to school wishlist, featuring some of my favorites from Rifle Paper Co & Paper ...
What I Love: Rifle Paper Co.
I wish I could remember when I first fell in love with Rifle Paper Co., but it's not hard to see why. Did I ever mention I love florals? And anything travel related? Honestly if I could buy one of everything on the website I would. The ultimate dream is to have a portrait done by Anna some day. Going to start saving for that one! There's just something about her work, it's so simple, yet so beautiful and unique. I'm a photographer so I usually prefer photographs, but she made me fall in love ...
