The Perfect Holiday Red Lip

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…

September 2021 Ulta Fall Haul Sale

Ulta is currently having a Fall Haul sale, and there are some really good deals. I thought I’d share some of my recommendations. These are all products that I own/have owned, and love using. Ulta provides affordable options, as well as high end. These are definitely on the affordable side, which is always my preference.

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.

10 Favorite Fall Eyeshadow Palettes

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…

My Self Tanning Routine

I’ve pretty much lived my life as a pale girl. I’m a natural redhead, and my skin tone definitely goes with the ginger stereotype. I’ve considered getting spray tans, and self tanning has always made me nervous… and then I found the product that’s a huge game changer for me. The St. Tropez express bronzer is #1 on my list of my 25 Nordstrom picks under $50. It’s amazing. It’s so easy to use, even for a first time user like me. It’s a summer…

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…

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…

Birthday Wishlist

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…

November 2016 Ulta Haul

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…
