What’s In My Work Makeup Bag

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…

All About Single Shadows

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…

Harry Potter Project Pan

I was scrolling through my suggested videos on YouTube, and one really stuck out to me. A Harry Potter Project Pan. I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan, and I really love project pans (check out my current 2019 Project Pan). I thought this was such a fun idea, and I definitely wanted to join! The original video I saw was by Christina Chang. She provided some prompts/guidelines, so I’ll be discussing my items based on those! If you’re a Harry Potter fan too, you know 7 is a very important number throughout the series…

2019 Project Pan

This post is coming pretty late. I know, I know, it’s almost March. But better late than never, right? If you don’t know what project panning is, check out my 2018 Project Pan. It was my first year of panning, and I loved it. I took these pictures in January, and I’ve been working on panning these products the entire year, but I’m just now sharing them (fun fact: I’ve already finished or hit pan on some products!). I’m including two eyeliners in my project this year. The…

2018 Bonus Project Pan

I know a lot of people have been keeping up with my 2018 project pan (that’s now complete). I talked about my conclusions in my project finale. I’m very excited to share that I hit pan on a few bonus products that weren’t in my project! First, I finished two setting sprays. I love both the Urban Decay All Nighter and Skindinavia setting sprays. I used a travel size of the UD spray, and a full size of the Skindinavia. They’re definitely two of my favorites. I finished a concealer and primer…

Galentine’s Day at The Amsden // Galentine’s Day Outfit

Yesterday, I attended a Galentine’s Day at The Amsden in Versailles, KY. It was so much fun! I met Emily, the owner, through blogging. Her shop is so cute already, and this event was so gorgeous! They served up fun Galentine’s Day treats, including funfetti donuts and cake pops. The drink specials were amazing and adorable. I went with my friend Casey, and we each tried something different. She tried the donut and the Valentine’s Day hot chocolate, and I tried the Love You Latte and the cake pop. I was NOT disappointed (to…

2018 Project Pan Finale

Ok y’all, I’ve been slacking in 2019, but I’m ready to get it together! I finished up my 2018 project pan. If you’ve never heard of project pan, you can check out my original post. I also posted a 6 month update. This will be my finale post, so I’ll just be talking about the products I’ve finished since the 6 month update. First, I hit MAJOR pan on my Physician’s Formula Butter Bronzer. The sides still had quite a bit of product, but the middle…

My Favorite Cruelty Free Skincare Products

As of November, I haven’t been purchasing any cruelty free skincare or makeup. I’ve had to stop purchasing some of my favorite items, but I’ve found some really great CF items. I thought I’d share some of my favorites. Sun protection is so important, especially for someone as fair as I am. My nieces play softball every weekend, so I’m in the sun a lot throughout the summer. This means I need to make sure my skin is protected as much as possible. I’ve been loving Sun Bum…

Project Pan 2018 Six Month Update

I can’t believe it’s already July. It seems like it just changed from 2017 to 2018. I said in January that I wasn’t setting any resolutions to follow, but I did set a few goals. One of the goals I set was to pan some of my makeup products. If you don’t know what project panning is, check out my original 2018 Project Pan post. You can see where I started at the beginning of the year. Today I’m going to go over my 6 month update to show my…
