As a pale girl, okay an extremely pale girl, (People often wonder if I’ve ever seen the sun.) sometimes it can be a little hard to find the perfect highlighter. Many work beautifully on darker skin tones, but for those with nearly translucent skin, they can blend in completely. In this post I've collected some of my favorite highlighters that will work for various skin tones! I came across NYX’s Illuminator in Ritualistic when I was browsing Ulta, searching for something that wasn’t quite ...
New York City
My sister and I recently took a trip to NYC. We were there to see a dance show called Sway featuring Maks and Val Chmerkovskiy, Tony Dovolani and others from the Dancing With The Stars cast. (Look out for a review of the show soon!) I told my sister there were some places I wanted to go while we were staying in the city, oh just a few shops and restaurants.

A New Journey
I should probably start with an introduction, I’m Ashley! I have a degree in Fine Art Photography and currently work as a retoucher at a studio, as well as a wedding photographer. I’m a proud mom to a crazy Pembroke Welsh Corgi pup named Georgiana. I’m only slightly obsessed with makeup with an ever growing collection of lipsticks. (You can never have too many red lipsticks!) In 2012 I studied in London, which then led to one of my greatest passions: traveling. My ultimate dream is have a job ...
