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…
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…
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…
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…
If you know me, you know I’m a huge beauty lover. I love makeup and pretty things. Anything with lashes on it sucks me in and I’m instantly drawn to it. I was in Hobby Lobby the other day looking for planner supplies (I know, big surprise), and I stumbled upon the CUTEST tote! This lash tote is so pretty! It’s a straw tote, which is definitely different for me. It is HUGE! I love taking it to work when I want to work on my planner during breaks, because it fits EVERYTHING. It…
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…
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…
