Lipsense- nonsense or pure genius?

Sometimes I'm a little hesitant to buy makeup from people directly- I feel like there's a potential bias because they are getting a commission for their sale. Not that I think people are straight up lying- because I would hate to think someone is selling a product that they don't believe in. Trust issues. My …

My Skincare Routine

My skin has been a constant struggle ever since puberty.. in 2nd grade 🙄🙄 My dad passed on his oily acne prone skin to me (thanks dad!) and I've tried so many products in an effort to reduce both issues. I've even done accutane, which dramatically helped and I do not regret doing at all …

Rent The Runway

When I had a recent fancy event came up for work. I faced a dilemma- Do I buy a dress I'll wear once and then let it sit in my closet to collect dust, or do I seek out a new solution? This time, I went with option B, and I'm so happy I did! …

Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Clay Mask vs ELF Hydrating Bubble Mask

I basically went on an Elizavecca haul lately in my orders from Memebox. Their products are all over Instagram getting good reviews, they're affordable, plus that damn milky piggy is the cutest 🐷🐽.

My 1K Giveaway!!

I love Instagram. Like LOVE it. It's so drama-free compared to Facebook which I have recently become disenchanted with. Instagram is the perfect version of porn for me- beautiful visuals of all the things I love such as skincare, sheet masks, fluffy dogs, and clothes. I started posting to Instagram after one of my employees …

Review: My Scheming Blackhead Removal Activated Mask Set

You know the videos. The ones where the black mask gets peeled off and you can see all of the blackheads literally being ripped out of someone's nose and cheeks. You can't help but watch and wish for the same results...... At least this is true for me!! I have been working on getting rid …

Why you should save your 🌰🌰🌰

I'm always looking for ways to save more money. Whether that's using coupons/coupon codes, using my Ebates to get cash back, or reducing spending altogether, I try to be conscious of what I spend and use an app called Mint to track spending. I felt like I was doing a good job at meeting my …

Hanaka vs My Beauty Diary: Hyaluronic Acid sheet masks

It's no secret that I love BOTH sheet masks and Hyaluronic Acid. Especially during the cold winter months in Indiana, my skin tends to get dry and really need some extra moisturizing powers. Hyaluronic acid does the trick for me and is great for any skin- even oily, breakout prone, or sensitive! To start, hyaluronic …

Yay or nay: silicone makeup sponge

I buy pretty expensive foundation (approx $60/bottle) so when I cleaned my beauty blender and brushes recently and noticed just how much product was washing down the drain, I started looking for options.  The silicone blender is new on the scene and I figured it was a gimmick.  After testing out this thing, I am …

Lip Scrub Reviews: Bliss vs elf vs Hard Candy

There's not much worse than trying to rock a matte lip with cracked, nasty lips. This is the quickest way to kill a rockin lip color! When matte lips first came out, I really underestimated how much this step made a difference. Once I figured it out, I was on a mission to find the …
