    December 18, 2018 / 0 Comments

    I've always been intrigued by Flower Beauty, the cosmetic line created by Drew Barrymore, so when they had some fabulous Black Friday promotions on the entire line, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do a makeup haul.  The only product I've tried prior to this haul is the concealer, but the rest are all entirely new to me.  I hope you enjoying reading my thoughts on how all these products performed!

    Too Faced The Sweet Smell of Christmas Liquid Lipstick Set Review and Swatches

    December 4, 2018 / 0 Comments

    The holidays are a particularly exciting time for makeup lovers as brands tend to release plenty of new makeup sets and limited edition collections in time for Christmas.  I'm a huge fan of lipstick sets.  Being a makeup collector myself, I find it's pretty rare that I finish a full sized lipstick, so deluxe sample sets are a perfect way for me to try out different formulas and shades, without having to invest in a full sized.  When I spotted this adorable Too Faced The Sweet Smell of Christmas Liquified Lipstick Set at Sephora, I simply couldn't resist.

    Admittedly, I initially had little interest in the release of the Morphe and Jaclyn Hill Vault Collection.  I really enjoyed the original Morphe x Jaclyn Hill Eyeshadow Palette (full review here), so I didn't think I needed to add a sequel to my collection.  But of course, after seeing so many more promos and its availability at Ulta, I caved and ordered it anyways  I've had this palette for about two months to formulate my final thoughts and the following reflects my personal experience.

    Hiii, dolls!  Today, I'll be reviewing some goodies from my recent Physicians Formula Haul!  Admittedly, I've never really gravitated towards the brand before, as they are on the higher end of pricing for the drugstore.  However, since familiarizing myself with the CVS Extra Bucks Rewards Program, I've had the chance to try out more products from their line and I gotta say... I'm digging it.

    I used to never shop at CVS, as I found their makeup was always priced higher than at Target or Walmart, but lately, they keep sucking me back into the store with their email promotions, coupons, and Extra Bucks rewards program!  If you keep an eye out on their weekly ads, you can score makeup at total steals, like I was able to stack coupons on this transaction.  Today, I'm bringing you a review of some goodies I picked up while shopping at the CVS drugstore.

    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.

    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!
