Ipsy January 2015 Review
Reviewing my January Ipsy bag on the first day of February is acceptable, right? The theme for January was “Fresh Start”, and I probably don’t need to explain why. Continue Reading
Birchbox January 2015 Review
Birchbox was on top of it this month. Unfortunately, I was not. I needed a few weeks to recharge after the holidays and get all my ducks in a row for the new year, so here I am, cranking this thing out at the last minute. I got the shipping notification on the 7th and my box showed up on the 9th. After a few months of it arriving later than usual, this was a nice surprise. Each month, Birchbox subscribers receive a variety of beauty samples to try for only $10. Continue Reading
Lipstick Queen Three to Captivate Review
Over the past couple of months, I have had a relatively unhealthy obsession with lip crayons. I am lazy and they are a step above tinted lip balm, but not as much upkeep as a lipstick. When I spotted the Lipstick Queen Three to Captivate set at Ulta, I immediately swatched it and then told myself I really didn’t need it. I promise I went back to Ulta way too many times after that, circling the aisles, trying to find an alternative. This set haunted me. It kept me up at night. And then I decided that $22 was worth putting my curiosity to rest. Continue Reading
Cynthia Rowley Beauty Game Face Eyeshadow Palette Review
Back in December, Birchbox had an offer for Aces (those who have accumulated 500+ points through referrals, purchases, or reviews) to receive a free Cynthia Rowley Beauty Game Face Eyeshadow Palette with a $50 purchase. I’m an Ace. I was in need of important things and about to go on vacation. The stars aligned and this offer couldn’t be passed up. I’m a palette hoarder and I need help. Continue Reading

Top 14 of 2014
Can you believe 2015 is already here? The last 6 months have been a complete blur, I’ve been so busy. I accomplished so many things in 2014, including starting this blog, and I just wanted to reflect on some of my favorite finds that I have reviewed over the past year. Continue Reading
Birchbox December 2014 Review
Birchbox got a little Christmas crazy this month, and it was awesome. The theme was “decked out”, and that’s exactly what they did with my box. Isn’t it so pretty and festive? Continue Reading
Ipsy December 2014 Review
My Ipsy bag came surprisingly early this month! Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to play with it until I got back from Disney World with my family. I am okay with this. Continue Reading
Urban Decay Full Frontal Lipstick Stash Review
After my extremely positive experience trying Urban Decay’s Revolution Lipstick in Venom, I spent some time swatching other colors at Ulta because their lipsticks seemed very promising and I wanted to try more. I have a terrible habit of bringing home lipsticks that don’t flatter my face just because they look nice on my hand, so I held off for a while because I wasn’t sure what I wanted. Once all of the holiday gift sets start appearing, I knew exactly what I needed to do. Continue Reading
Monthly Favorites: November 2014
Happy December! I have been wanting to start a monthly favorites series on my blog for a while, and there’s no better time than after a very hectic month where I am just reaching for the same things that keep my daily routine nice and simple. Continue Reading
