    I am very diligent about my skincare.  I never ever go to bed without washing my face...and going through all my skincare steps.  I wish I had the same strong discipline about going to the gym ;) It is important to nurture and nourish the skin as that to me, is even more important than any makeup you wear on top.

    Wet n Wild Haul and Reviews

    August 17, 2017 / 2 Comments

    Happy Thursday, y'all!  Today I'll be reviewing the goodies from my recent Wet n Wild Haul!  I've heard rave reviews about the Wet n Wild foundation, but could never find my shade at my local drugstores, which get cleaned out quick.  When Wet n Wild had a 25% off sale on their website, I had to place an order for the foundation and then some ;) Read on below to see my thoughts on these products and how they performed.

    Happy Sundays, dolls!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  The hubs and I just got back from Arizona after a whirlwind of a week, driving pretty much everywhere within a 30 mile radius of Phoenix  After visiting 20+ rental properties, I think we might have found our next home!  I am both excited for a change of scenery and a bundle of nerves, having never moved out of California.  I'll be keeping you updated on the move as it comes ;) Today, we will be reviewing the Makeup Revolution Radiance Palette!

    Hi, y'all!  Today, we are tackling another monthly subscription box.  This time, I'll be reviewing the contents of June’s Boxycharm!  You can find my review on last month’s Boxycharm here.  Boxycharm is my favorite beauty subscription box that provides 5-6 full-sized items for $21/month.  What I love about Boxycharm is that the value of all the luxury products always well exceed the $21 price.
