New In | Glossier

Earlier this year I started hearing a lot of buzz about Glossier, the beauty brand launched by the creator of the blog Into The Gloss.  Tempted by the sleek packaging, the dewy skinned models on the site, and a $5 off promo code, I decided to give the brand a try.  They launched their Creamy Cleanser this January to rave reviews, so I though I would try that and the moisturizer to see what the buzz was all about.

A Savior for Dry Winter Lips

I’ve heard so many great things about Nuxe, especially their body oil and lip balm.  A few months back I found that Nuxe was available in my town (well a limited selection) so I decided to pick up the Reve De Miel.  I’ve used it consistently for a few months so I thought it was about time I let you know my thoughts.

Laneige Skincare

Usually, I only pick up one item when I want to try out a new product line to see if it’s worth getting more down the road.  That wasn’t the case with Lanaige skincare.  High praise from Lisa Eldridge sucked me in and took a big dent out of my bank account.  Since I’ve been trying them out for awhile, I thought is was time that I shared my thoughts on what I got.

September Favorites

Another month has flown by and another monthly favorites is coming your way.  Also, the leaves decided to join in on the photo session.  They were attempting to be real camera hogs so I decided to use them as props.  Anyway, let’s get onto the favorites.

Clinique Haul

There have been quite a few new launches at Clinique that have peaked my interest.  While the idea of adding them all to my collection is tempting, I don’t think my bank account would be too happy about it.  I decided to be pragmatic and only pick up a few things to satisfy my urge to try some new stuff out.

August Favorites

I didn’t have many favorites this month but the products I enjoyed were pretty awesome.   This months favorites only has four products but I think there are some definite HG contenders in the mix.

July Favorites

Now that summer is in full swing, I’ve been reaching for products to help me look put together while beating the heat.  This month I’ve been all about minimal makeup and effortless hairstyles. 

June Favorites

Yet another month has flown by and I have quite a few favorites to share. Since I didn’t do a favorites last month, some of these are more a May/June favorites.

Empties #6

It’s been ages since I’ve done an empties post.  Since my last empties, I got into a habit of throwing stuff out right after I finished it up.  While that’s good for minimizing clutter, it’s not so good when you want to do an empties post.  I finally collected enough empty stuff to show you what I’ve used up and what I thought of the products.

L'Occitane Shower Oil

This winter it seemed like my skin refused to be hydrated.  I would put on tons of heavy lotion only to have my skin be uncomfortably dry hours later.  When I discovered body oils, that changed.  I don’t know the exact science behind it but I now know that my winter skin needs body oil.  In my quest to find any way to incorporate oils into my skincare routine, I decided to pick up this shower oil. 

Sephora VIB Wishlist

It’s that time of year again!  The Sephora VIB sale started April 16th and runs through April 21st.  Although 15% off doesn’t seem like much, when you take into account that the only other sale happens in November, it’s worth it to stock up on staples and try out new items.   Here are the things that I’m really tempted to pick up.

February Favorites

Valentine’s Day has come and gone but these favorites still have a place in my heart.  Sorry, I couldn’t help but see a connection between the month of love and my favorite products.  The amount of favorites this month is small but they are all on their way to becoming some all time favorites.

Origins Face Masks

If you haven't noticed by now, l love Origins skincare.  It's not only apart of my everyday skincare, but I love the face masks from origin as well.  I almost included these in my Winter Skincare Routine but I thought they deserved their own post.

November Favorites

It’s that time again!  This month was about adding moisture to my skin and darker colors into my makeup routine.  Here are some of the beauty stuff I’ve been enjoying during November.

February 2014 Favorites

I thought it was only fitting to film my February Favorites in my favorite sweater which also happens to be covered in hearts!  

January 2014 Favorites

This year is starting off bitterly cold and my favorites definitely reflects my quest for hydrated skin!

2013 Skincare and Haircare Favorites

Here is Part 2 of my 2013 Favorites.  Enjoy!

December 2013 Empties

This past month I finished quite a few products...over half of which were makeup!  Below is a mini review of each product.  I will also link my YouTube video down below so you can watch that if you want.  Now, let's get on to the products...

April and May 2013 Empties/ Products I've Used Up #4

So, I was a naughty Youtuber/Blogger and took the month of May off to well....pretty much just be a lazy bum and enjoy the wonderful late spring weather.  Now that I'm back, I thought I would do a April and May combined post to show you what I used up over the past two months.
