It’s Friday! It’s felt like a long week, but it’s almost over! I’m pretty excited about this weekend, so maybe having something to really look forward to has made it drag by. I wanted to share some products that I’ve been loving lately. It’s mostly beauty, because I’ve found some really nice products, but some are “other” favorites. One of my best friends, Rachel, just started selling LipSense. She had a Facebook party before she became a distributer, and I ordered a couple of…
I’ve seen quite a few antihauls on YouTube, and thought it would be a fun post. They can be really helpful in deciding if you want to purchase something, and I enjoy watching them to see others’ opinions on products (especially makeup). Basically, I’m going to talk about palettes I will NOT be buying. There are quite a few new palettes coming out, and there have been a few come out recently. There is a lot of new makeup coming out, but I’ll be focusing on palettes. The first palette I won’…
Hello, my name is Courtney, and I’m a makeup addict. My best friend Rachel is also a makeup addict. This is not good for either one of us, or our wallets. I got into makeup (I mean, seriously got into makeup) about 3 years ago, and it was mostly thanks to Rachel and my friend Sam. Since then, my collection has grown quite a bit. In November, Rachel told me about a YouTube series she’d gotten into, called the 12 pans of Christmas, which is part of a project pan segment. She suggested that I get…
Fall is coming way too slowly, but it will be here very soon! With that comes the switching of makeup palettes. Bright, fun colors will be traded in for darker, warm browns and oranges. I’m personally a fan of using grays and darker blues also. I’m definitely a cool-toned girl. But in the Fall, I’m up for using warmer colors. I’m sharing 20 palettes that are perfect for Fall. There are some browns, oranges, yellows, greens, and grays. I can’t wait to start creating some Fall looks with some…
New makeup is one of my favorite things. Ulta recently had a one day, online only, 20% sale good on all items, including prestige brands. They don’t have 20% off prestige brands often, but I love when they do. I purchased a few items from the sale, and I’m excited to share! I’ll let you know which products I’ve tried so far, and how I feel about the ones I’ve tested. Smashbox primer water was definitely on my list. My face is dry, so any hydration I can add…
Hey y’all, just a reminder that if you’re a beauty insider, the sale starts today! I’ll be sharing my haul in a couple of days when my products come in, but I just wanted to send out a couple of reminders. If you are rouge, the sale is November 4-7. If you are just VIB, the sale is November 11-14. BUT. Remember that today only, if you are rouge, you can share your discount with a friend! I have a friend that’s coming down tonight and I’m sharing…
Fragrant Jewels recently released Wicked Gift Set, a limited edition bath bomb and candle set for Halloween. Oh. My. Gosh. It definitely went on my wish list. I ended up getting the set as a late birthday present, and I was so excited. The way Fragrant Jewels works: you burn the candle, or take a bath using the bath bomb, and a little plastic container will appear as the substances dissolve or melt, containing a ring. You can order the size you need, or say surprise me and get a random size. There are a variety of 10 rings, which…
My mornings are usually very hectic. I am not at all a morning person, and I usually wait until the last possible second to get out of bed (sometimes later than the last possible second). I have to drag myself out of bed, and then I generally take my time getting ready, and end up rushing my makeup. I used to take my time with my makeup, and do my full face routine daily. After a certain point, though, it became tiresome and I realized I love sleep more than I love looking glamorous for people who don’t…
Lately my life has been about everything Fall. One thing I’ve been extremely excited for is the return of cranberry lips. They pair well with my fair skin, and I must admit, I’m obsessed. I’m so happy that this has become a Fall trend, and I hope it sticks around! Have you been looking for the perfect shade of wine for your lips? Maybe some of these will help! All but one are drugstore, so they should be fairly easy to find! Wet N Wild Silk Finish Lipstick Shade: Dark Wine Milani Color…
September was a great month. Fall officially started, I celebrated my 27th birthday, and I published my first blog post. I moved out of my first apartment after college and fully moved into my first apartment on my own. I discovered some new beauty products that I really like, and rediscovered some old favorites. I recently switched foundations. I had been using one that I wasn’t very happy with. It was making my nose and the sides of my face look patchy (most people have oily T-zones. Mine is extremely dry, and gets very patchy, making…
