After every intricate makeup look comes a dreaded part of the process – washing my makeup brushes! For this week’s #WATSWednesday I’m testing out the Beauty Blender Lavender Cleaner!

A Little Bit of Glam

Last week I posted about my most recent Ulta Beauty haul and after playing with all of my new goodies I created this simple and pretty makeup look – now I’m going to walk you through it! As always I started with clean and moisturized skin. Using my hands I then applied an even layer…

My Most Recent Ulta Haul!

I’ve been using this quarantine to clock some serious time improving my skincare routine, making adjustments to everything from products to application techniques. I placed an order with Ulta Beauty for some new skincare goodies on Saturday, April 11, and my package promptly arrived on Saturday, April 18. One such change has been the introduction of…

As part of their digital content, they’ve been putting out ‘Vogue Beauty Secrets,’ a series of short videos where viewers can learn the tips and tricks of their favorite fashionable celebrities. One video…

Makeup for a Rock Concert!

This past weekend, my sister Molly and I celebrated her 18th birthday by attending the Dorothy, Three Days Grace, and Breaking Benjamin concert at the Xfinity Theater! While we were both new to the band, Dorothy, we have both been fans of Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin for many years. One of our other…

How I Apply My Makeup

While creating a look for another blog post (my 4th of July look) I decided to create a post about how I apply a full face of makeup (stay tuned for how I apply my everyday look)! As always, I start with a cleansed and moisturized face, and I will be posting my updated skin…

A 4th of July-Inspired Makeup Look!

Tomorrow is American Independence Day, and to celebrate I decided to channel the red-white-and-blue through my makeup! I wanted to create a look that I would actually wear out in public, so, before I even picked up a brush I knew I was going to finish off this look with a red lip – a…

The Wish App Salsa Dress

In my last post I briefly described this dress I bought on the Wish App. It’s been photographed in a beautiful setting, on one of my favorite models (Rocky Barnes), and it looks like it has gorgeous movement. Based off these photos I purchased this dress in hopes of having a killer dress for this weekly…

No Mirror Makeup Challenge!

I think we can all agree that doing your makeup is hard enough, but doing it without a mirror? I felt like I needed a degree in rocket science. The parts I had the most trouble with were my eyebrows (because evidently, I don’t know where they are on my face), my eyeliner (because I…

Happy New Year!

Oh my goodness! It’s 2017! I hope everyone had a fun and safe New Years!

Night Out Makeup

For the last weekend of the Fall semester, two of my best friends and I decided to go out; it was the last weekend of the semester, surely there had to be at least one party! And, when I say party I am NOT referring to what you see in all of those movies. I…

#OOTD

The weather today is that kind of glorious Autumn where the sun shines fiercely, without obstruction from clouds. A light breeze sweeps through so often it’s almost as if it’s running away; Winter, snapping at her heels. Almost all of the leaves have fallen now, and those that remain are a pitiful yellow color. Winter…

HalloWEEKEND!

Let me just tell you, Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year, followed very closely by Thanksgiving (because let’s be honest, who doesn’t enjoy eating until your pants rip in half?) But this year, Halloween was a Monday. And, as stupid college students, we began celebrating on the Friday before, which meant that we…
