Fall by far is my favorite time of the year. I love when I finally get a chance to wear sweaters, blanket scarves and cozy hats. Of course it's the perfect time to bust out all those warm eyeshadows. I have a slight obsession with these colors no matter what time of year, but there's something about the cooler weather and changing leaves that makes me want to wear them everyday. So I thought I'd go through my collection and pick out a few (okay there's more than a few) of my ...
Decluttering My Makeup Collection
In high school my makeup collection was rather simple: black eyeshadow and black eyeliner. I didn’t even own a tube of mascara because I was too scared I’d poke myself in the eye with the wand. Things have changed quite a bit over the years and I’ll confess my collection has gotten slightly out of hand. Does anyone really need 30 some blushes? Probably not. There’s been a lot of talk about decluttering on some of my favorite Youtuber’s channels lately and it inspired me to go through my ...
My Current Night Time Skincare Routine
Oh how I remember the days when my night time routine consisted of taking a makeup wipe across my face and being done. Sometimes I do wish I could go back to that, it was much less time consuming, but I wasn’t being kind to my skin. So I did some research into skincare and finally started properly cleansing my skin. My routine has changed quite a bit over time, but my current one has really been helping my skin lately, but obviously this isn’t something that will work for everyone. The Body ...
Country Living Fair – Columbus, Ohio 2015
This past weekend I attended the Country Living Fair in Columbus, Ohio. For those who don’t know Country Living is a magazine about home decor, crafts and much more. My mom has been a subscriber for quite a few years so she loves going to the fair. This is my third year attending with her and my aunt and as always we had a blast! The fair takes place in the Ohio Village, a recreated 19th century community and it really is the perfect setting. There’s a really great mix of antiques and new ...
Lorac Unzipped Palette – Review & Swatches
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 ...
