Bumble and Bumble Sunday Shampoo
Sep 2, 2016 | beauty
The Bumble and Bumble Sunday Shampoo has been on my wishlist for ages. It's held a spot right up at the top for probably longer than any other beauty product, but it wasn't until recently that I finally decided to splurge. I got my hair trimmed for the wedding and my stylist commented on all the buildup in my hair. Nothing like a wedding and a...

Like most beauty products, I first heard about the Marc Jacobs Glow Stick on beauty blogs. It's one of those products you can't help but be immediately intrigued when you first look at it. I mean come on, it kind of looks like a super shimmery deodorant stick. Thanks to Influenster, I managed to get my hands on it for free and am reporting back...
My Wedding Garters
Jun 17, 2016 | beauty
One of the details I nearly forgot to sort out was garters. I'm a big fan of all the traditional, a-little-too-old fashion wedding practices and really wanted to find something fun for my garters. So of course I headed straight to Etsy to hunt around and found just the thing. What's old, new, borrowed, and blue? The Tardis of course! A...
Storing and Organizing Makeup Palettes
Jun 16, 2016 | beauty
This one is kind of like "duh," but so often I see and hear people complaining about palette storage that I thought it time to write up a quickie about how I do it. I picked up a bunch of these storage bins from Target a few years ago, but they definitely still have them in stock in the storage section of their stores. They're awesome because...
High-End Makeup Starter Kit
May 18, 2016 | beauty
When I first dove into the high-end makeup pool I spent a lot of careless money on products that just didn't work for me. From foundations that cost a pretty penny to mascaras that just didn't work for me, I could have definitely used a guide to help me along the way. I picked products that aren't over the top for this starter kit. The base is...
How to Streamline Your Closet if You Can’t Handle a Capsule Wardrobe
Apr 14, 2016 | beauty
The blogging world is definitely abuzz with the minimalist trend lately. Gone are the days of hording makeup and enter ones filled with less things and more purpose. I'm definitely so on bored with decluttering and have shared my two cents on Marie Kondo's book to boot. Yet a capsule wardrobe of only a few shirts and things each season just isn't...

With more eye shadows than my eye lids will ever use, I've learned a thing or two about palettes and which one is good for what.

Apr 6, 2016 | beauty
I popped a little teaser in last week's March Favorites video about this post coming on the horizon. and now it's officially arrived. I've known about IT Cosmetics since the brand first came out, but I never went farther than a few swatches in the store until recently. Now I've fallen head first into the brand and am resurfacing to share my...

The Beauty Bits We Don’t Really Need, But Have Plenty Anyway
Jan 19, 2016 | beauty
We all have our beauty weaknesses. The bits and bobs we can't help but scoop up regardless of what else we have in our collection. I thought it time to write an ode to those products because although I'm very much aware that I don't need any more, I pick more up anyway. A fleet of my lips but better lipsticks I think it's safe to say I have about...
