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 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…
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…
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…
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…
Last year I published my my wishlist before my birthday, and I figured I would make it a yearly tradition. My birthday is one month from today, and I can’t wait! Obviously I don’t expect a bunch of presents, but it’s a fun way to show things I’ve had my eye on. I’d rather spend time with someone than receive a present – to me that’s much more meaningful. This year I’m spending my birthday in Nashville, and I’m really excited! Casserole Dish Carrier…
