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…
I don’t always do my makeup at home. Sometimes my mornings are rushed, and I do part (or all) of my makeup on my breaks at work. I keep a makeup bag at my desk. If I need to just do a quick eye look, or a full makeup look, I’m prepared. You never know when someone will unexpectedly ask you to do something after work unexpectedly (I’ve literally bought concert tickets the DAY OF, and had to try to get ready). I’ve partnered with Begin Magic to show what’s…
Single shadows are some of my favorite eyeshadows. I love having the ability to customize a palette, and build a collection customized to my own style. It’s a great way to try out a brand without spending a ton of money, or add just one color to your collection that you’ve been wanting to try. I’ll list some of my favorite companies that carry single shadows at the bottom of this post, as well as some companies I want to try. I’ve tried a few single shadows from some companies, and bundles…
