    Hiii, dolls!  How is everyone doing?  I hope you're having a fabulous weekend so far.  I'm in Miami port at the moment and wanted to give you a quick update  The hubby and I are about to set sail on a Western Caribbean cruise shortly so I will have limited-to-no wifi and reception whatsoever the entire week.  While at seas, I'm pretty much completely reduced to blackout radio silence

    Happy Sunday, everyone!  I hope you're enjoying the first days of Autumn so far  Today, I'll be reviewing the contents of September’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.

    Hiii, y'all!  Today we will be going over the Product Empties from the month of August.  I was on the road quite a bit last month so I'm light on the makeup empties, but steadily going through my stash of travel-sized samples ;)  Each of these products will be accompanied by a mini review, and recommendation on whether or not I would repurchase.

    Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighting Powder Review

    August 31, 2017 / 0 Comments

    Hiii, everyone!  Today, we will be reviewing the hugely popular Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighting Powders!  These highlighters have been out for awhile, but I have not been able to find them at my local drugstores.  Those shelves get cleared out quick!  I was so pleased with the goodies from my recent Wet n Wild Haul (blogpost here) that I had to give these a try.  They recently released some new colors, but I decided to stick to the two OG shades that kickstarted the cult following, Crown of My Canopy and Precious Petals.
