Ok, Ulta released a Harry Potter collection, and it combined two of my loves: Harry Potter and makeup. This collection is gorgeous, and I’m actually really impressed. I wanted to share some swatches and thoughts. I probably should have done this post earlier. All the palettes are already sold out, and I’m not sure if they’re coming back. I’ll be sure to link what I can and keep an eye out for rereleases. It’s only been three weeks since the whole set was released, which is crazy. They released a…
Sometimes I want a really intense makeup look. But sometimes, I want something simple. I love a good eye look that takes under 5 minutes and is really easy, but pretty. Simple looks can still look really nice. I also love eyeshadow that comes in single shadow form. So, I thought I’d share this periwinkle eye look that I’ve been loving. I LOVE that cool tones are coming into style. I’ve always been a fan of cool tones, but I think most people prefer warm tones. Cool tones are always my favorite. Maybe it…
I know the weather is very confused as to what season it is, but it’s still Spring. I love a coral lip for the Spring and summer months, so I thought I’d share an easy Spring makeup look with a coral lip. I used to absolutely hate warm toned eye looks, but they’ve really grown on me. The palette I used for this look is only $3, and I will definitely pull out some warm toned looks for $3. The palette name is Pumpkin Pie, and that is DEFINITELY something I love. For this…
Happy International Polar Bear Day! Polar bears are my favorite animals, so when I found a polar bear themed eyeshadow palette… well, I snatched that up. I’ve wanted to post about this palette for a while, and I figured today was the perfect day. I LOVE this palette. It quickly became a favorite. I’ve always preferred cool tones, and this palette definitely contains cool tones. Pinks, greys, purples, my heart! The color scheme for this palette is right up my alley. I love that the shade names actually fit this palette really well. There are…
I received the Colourpop It’s a Princess Thing palette for Christmas last year. It quickly became a favorite of mine. I enjoy warm tones throughout the Fall and on occasion, but I definitely prefer cool tones. I’m sharing a look I wore to brunch. I think it’s so pretty, and would be great for Valentine’s Day. First, I applied my Milani eye primer. This is such a great primer, and it’s so affordable. I set my primer with the shade Chip from the Princess Palette. Next I put the shade…
I was in the market for a new hair dryer. My hair is thick and naturally curly, and takes forever to blow dry. I had seen reviews for the Revlon One-Step Volumizer hair dryer, and I was intrigued. But THEN I saw the Revlon One Step Paddle dryer, and I was REALLY intrigued. I purchased it a few months ago, and have been trying it out. Since there aren’t many reviews out there on it, I figured I’d share mine! For a little reference: my hair is VERY thick. It’s naturally curly. I…
I’ve pretty much lived my life as a pale girl. I’m a natural redhead, and my skin tone definitely goes with the ginger stereotype. I’ve considered getting spray tans, and self tanning has always made me nervous… and then I found the product that’s a huge game changer for me. The St. Tropez express bronzer is #1 on my list of my 25 Nordstrom picks under $50. It’s amazing. It’s so easy to use, even for a first time user like me. It’s a summer…
The Nordstrom Sale is here. The exclusive (eye roll) early access is over, and the sale is now available to anyone and everyone. It lasts July 19-August 4, and is the time of year when all fashion bloggers put out their recommendations… yeah yeah, I’m no different. BUT. I wanted to keep all my recommendations under $50. I don’t spend a lot on this sale (I stocked up a little more last year, because I won a gift card, woo hoo!), but there are a few items I think are worth it. I am…
I can’t believe it’s already July! That means it’s already time for a 2019 Project Pan update! And y’all, it’s a good one. Last year at this time, I was stressing. I had barely completed any of my panning goals. But this year, I have a TON of progress, and that makes me so happy! If you want to see my intro post, check it out here! Let’s start with the items I’ve panned or finished. I finished two primers completely: the NYX Hydra Touch primer…
