Lipsticks are one of my favorite makeup items. I love a neutral eye with a pop of color on the lips, or a bold eye look with a neutral lip. I also love a bold eye look with a colorful lip, or a neutral eye look with a neutral lip shade. My friend Priyanka and I (check out her beauty blog here) challenged ourselves in Feburary to share one lippie a day on Tik Tok. It was fun, challenging, and successful, and I thought I’d share them here also. I tried to include multiple brands, formulas, finishes, shades…
Happy 2024! I’m a little late on this post, but it has already been a busy year. I wanted to share some pictures from my New Year’s Eve, and just talk a little about 2024 and my plans for the year. I had a blast on New Year’s Eve. I spent it at The Grove (one of my favorite spots in Lexington), with some of my blogger friends, and it was so lovely. 2023 was a rough year. I had Covid for a second time, we had a couple of holidays later than usual…
In 2022, I discovered duo and multi chrome eyeshadows, and dove right into exploring these beauties. I think I found Terra Moons Cosmetics on Instagram (follow me here, and Terra Moons Cosmetics here), and placed an order recently. They have a ton of single shadows available, and they all looked so gorgeous. I thought I’d share swatches of the shadows I ordered. Sometimes it’s really hard to tell in the pans what the shadows look like when they’re so shifty, so I hope this helps! Note: I tried to get different angles of the…
The holidays are here, and a classic red lip is always in style. There are so many formulas and finishes for lipsticks, so I’m here to share some of my favorite red lipsticks to help you create the perfect holiday red lip. Most of these options are available at local retailers like Ulta and Sephora, so they should be available to snag before Christmas and New Years, and everything in between! I have quite a few red lipsticks in my collection, in different tones and finishes. Some have a creamy formula, some are glossy, and some are very…
Black Friday deals are here, and more are coming. I thought I’d share my top picks from some of my favorite places, and some deals too good to pass up. These are all my personal opinions and suggestions, and may not fit everyone’s tastes. I’ll try to keep this list updated with any great deals I find and love!

Fall is almost here. Seriously, we’re under a week away. If you’ve been here a while, you know Fall is my favorite. If you’re new here, hi! Be ready to see a TON of Fall content. The weather is cooling down here in Kentucky, and my little heart is ready to come alive. Makeup is one of my passions, and Fall is really my time to shine with beauty knowledge (I am not an expert by any means, but happy to share what I know about what I love!). I’m sharing 10…
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…
