A couple months ago I finally decided to try out Estee Lauder's Double Wear Stay-In-Place Makeup. I'd heard countless good reviews, saying that the coverage was amazing and it truly was as long lasting as they claimed. So I thought I'd put it to the test myself. I've never had much luck with foundations living up to their claims. The closest I came was with Tarte's Amazonian Clay 12-hour Full Coverage Foundation. My biggest issue was that it didn't really have the coverage I needed. So I had my ...

Healthy Hair with Beauty Protector
If you've been following my blog for a while you might remember me mentioning Beauty Protector's Protect and Detangle in my New York City haul. It's one of my all time favorite, holy grail products and by far the best detangler I've ever used. Beauty Protector is an amazing brand, exclusive to Birchbox and I was fortunate enough to be given the chance to try a couple other products! I first tried the Protect & Detangle: Leave in Conditioner* ($21.95) as a sample in my Birchbox and ...
It Cosmetics Vitality Glow Anti-Aging Matte Bronzer – Review & Swatches
Another day, another great QVC find! My dad keeps threatening to block the channel from our television and maybe he should (I do have two new packages on the way...) but it really is the best place for amazing beauty deals!

But this one is matte and while I do love a good shimmer, I admit with my uneven ...

It took quite some time, but finally they were released on the US site in April and I couldn’t wait! Then the dreaded news hit that they were only available for a ...
April Favorites
April has been a pretty eventful month! We added a new puppy to the family and I turned 27! Things have been pretty non-stop since we got Darcy, basically we can't let her out of our sight yet. But she was exactly what we needed, Georgie really needed a sister to play around with and they've really become such pals. It's so much fun to watch them together! So anyway, just a few random favorites here this month from lipstick of course to setting powder! It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Matte ...
It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Palette – Review & Swatches
It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Matte Palette has quickly become my new favorite. I ordered it a few weeks ago from QVC when they had a special including a brush for $39.95 + $3 in shipping. (The palette itself is $42 on Ulta and It Cosmetics site.) It includes 14 shades, plus Transforming Pearl which you can use to add a pearl look to any color and they can be wore wet or dry. I promise you, Sheer Joy, Love and Transforming Pearl are actually there, they just blend perfectly ...
