Today I have a little round-up of my top three favorite mascaras right now. I’ve been using all three of these for years and they have never steered me wrong. They all perform differently and leave my puny, minuscule lashes looking full and lush. If you have struggle-bucket eyelashes, then this post is for you. Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real I’ve…

I want to try to make this a thing, but I am going to forgive myself right now if I don’t. I recently just came back from a celebratory getaway – a week-long (ok, 6 days) vacation in Ft. Lauderdale Beach. We generally go to Miami for breaks, but I convinced my S/O to go to FLL instead. I used…

Today I wanted to share another great swimsuit I found on Amazon! Now, if you read my last post about previous swimsuit from Amazon, an incredibly flattering one piece, you may love this leopard print monokini! Be warned – it’s sexy! The white leopard monokini only cost me $18 and it’s worth every penny. I got many compliments on it…

Earlier this month, I took a short trip back to my old stomping grounds. I spent eight glorious years in my 20’s in Miami and it’s always a pleasure to go back. Last year, my partner and I went over Valentine’s Day <3 and we decided to do it again. It’s become a tradition, I think. The weather wasn’t the…

Hi there! Today I have a quick and cute show and tell for the imPress Press-On Manicure in Dorothy. Now, I have not experimented with press-on nails since I was… like 12? But there appear to have been some advances in the press-on nail game that warrant a try! Last year, I was at a work event in San Diego…

Today, I’m showing off some new makeup I picked up from the Rare Beauty line. I’d been hearing good things about the brand and wanted to try a few things. The Selena’s Faves 4 Piece Mini Set was the perfect way to try out a few of the products. The set comes with the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Joy,…

Are you an adult? Do you want to smell like one? Well those were my thoughts when I got a whiff of Tom Ford Velvet Orchid. It instantly reminded me of adulthood– the fabulous kind! Not the responsible, bill paying, boring kind! I had my reservations because such strong scents don’t usually appeal to me, but WHEN I TRIED IT…

I have been through a lot of leave-in conditioners. And I mean A LOT. The best to date is the Salerm Silk Protein Leave-In conditioner. I first tried this out when I went to get a blowout at a Dominican salon in Miami about three years ago. I always try to take a gander at what the beauticians are using…

So I strayed a little bit off the path from my Lancome Bi-Facil eye makeup remover to try Just Release Me by Philosophy because it was cheaper. This was $18 I believe at Sephora, although it is listed out of stock right now. This was appealing to me because of the large size and I thought it might be just…

I’m in between relaxers and I don’t live near a beauty supply store. There isn’t even one near my job and I have found that I have to go out of my way to find products that suit my hair texture. As a result, I mostly order hair products online. But the other day, I put a sew-in in my…

So do I really need to say why this was appealing to me? Well, if you’re new to my blog then it’s because of my terrible eye bags (that I have actually found a temporary solution to!! Praise Lilith– as in the vampire! OK totes random…)! So I bought this thing from vitacost.com when I was on my vitacost kick.…

Hi Guys, I wanted to show you all a new palette I have acquired recently. TOTAL impulsive buy! When I got it I was shocked by the size of it, but in the end I think it is pretty handy. You could take this palette anywhere. I purchased it from Sephora.com ($42). Here are some pics and swatches. Makeup Forever…

This is really just a show and tell because I literally just figured this out. Is this old news or something? I feel like I have been trying to figure this out for a while and have stumbled upon it out of the blue. Either it was too bulky in the back or just didn’t look natural… Anyway I have…

Cargo Mendocino Blush How many of you can say that you have reached pan on ANYTHING??? Well I’m joining the club with Cargo Cosmetics Blush in Mendocino (AL-$26)! I have had this blush for at LEAST 2 years. Being a product junkie, it had never really been my go-to blush until this spring/summer. I received the blush in a Birchbox back…

Hi Guys, I wanted to share one of my favorite lipsticks with you. This is probably one of the most moisturizing lipsticks I own– hence the name Moisture Renew. It also has SPF 18, a plus. This one is from Rimmel London and it is called Dusty Rose. I purchased it because on me, or darker skin tones, it is…
