Day to Night Holiday Hair

November 19, 2015

Affiliate Links / Product Sample

Are you always pinched for time in the morning? I know I am, and when it comes to the holidays, I typically have even more on my plate and the last thing I want to worry about is making extra time to do my hair. For me, the important thing with attending any holiday party is for my hair to look polished and put together, even if I am rushing straight from the office. No one else needs to know that!

The struggle for time is real, so if I know I have an event to go to right after work, this day to night holiday hair style truly saves me so much time. It looks finished and salon-fresh without spending more than 15 minutes in the morning to get it. If you have the time between work and your event, spend an extra 5-10 minutes to add a little curl. Follow the step-by-step tutorial below to get the look.

Fall Eye Makeup Looks with ABH Shadow Couture Palette

November 17, 2015

I waffled back and forth about whether I was going to post these looks today. I originally was going to post this last week, and to my horror, realized that this palette became out of stock at every single store after I photographed these looks. What on earth are the chances?! So, with that said, if you like any of these looks, every shade is available in a full size for $12 at Macy’s, or 4 for $40 plus they also will throw in a quad to hold them for you. Additionally, Anastasia Beverly Hills has released the Self Made Palette, which is also limited addition and has a similar mix of warm tones and bold color.

I did, however, absolutely fall in love with this palette and if it’s still available in your local Nordstrom, Ulta, or Sephora stores, buy it. Buy it now. For $30, I think it is the best palette for the holidays – it has your warm browns, a pop of color in the Azure and Pink Champagne shades, and the perfect holiday vibe with Chic and Metallic.

Juice Beauty Review & Giveaway

October 8, 2015

Product Sample: Skincare samples from Juice Beauty were provided to me in exchange for this honest review.

I am so excited to be talking about my experience with Juice Beauty today. Why, you ask? Because I love ALL of the products I’ve been trying for the past month from them. They reached out to me after I shared their Nutrient Moisturizer in the Whole Foods Beauty Travel Bag and asked if I’d be interested in trying more products. Of course, I said yes!

Let’s backtrack a bit. Last year I had the worst breakout I’ve ever had in my life. I wish I was exaggerating, but I’ve never had acne quite so terrible. I had one cystic zit that was so bad, whenever I turned my head I wanted to die. It was right where my jawline and neck met, so it was just incredibly uncomfortable. I tried to throw every potent product I owned at it, and it only made the situation worse. When I backed off and focused on hydration and gentle skincare, I found it really helped. Since then, I’ve been on a mission to put the best things possible on my face.

Juice Beauty Review

One of my big skin issues is dryness. I’m acne-prone, but dry. It makes it hard to find something that’s moisturizing enough without breaking me out. I’ve tried so many night creams that were hydrating enough and then broke me out terribly. Luckily with Juice Beauty Skincare, my skin feels nice and hydrated AND it hasn’t broken me out. Additionally, Juice Beauty uses natural, organic ingredients and is cruelty-free. Win-win-win-win!

How I Accidentally Bought A Fake Naked Palette

September 9, 2015

Yep, you read that right. I bought a counterfeit makeup. A fake Naked palette, to be exact. It came with the best of intentions, but that’s what happen when you assume, incorrectly, that you’re buying from a legit source. To be fair, after hitting “order now” I had my doubts. But when I tweeted this out, I’d already purchased it, and it was too late:

If only I had known what I really would be receiving was potentially dangerous.

Favorite Neutral Makeup

August 24, 2015

It’s been a little while since I had a makeup post around here, so when my friend Meg from Meg O. on the Go mentioned sharing our favorite neutral makeup, I was totally in. So today, Meg, Becca, and I thought we’d share our 5 or so favorite neutral makeup items. It’s perfect timing, as back to school season is upon us and it seems like everyone is looking for that perfect neutral makeup no-makeup look. Plus if I’m completely honest, I’ve always been a neutrals girl. It’s only recently I’ve added any color to my eye looks. I think I had my fill of color after wearing too much blue eyeshadow in middle school. ;)


For those of you who aren’t into the video, that’s okay! I shot a couple of photos of my favorites, and will happily share my thoughts about each item and why it made the cut. I’m an equal opportunity blogger… I’ll write, photograph, or record for you. ;) Continue reading →
