Tarte Makes Me Peaceful

9 Feb

So I’ve  been in aesthetics school for almost a month now and I absolutely love it!  You know what I don’t love?  My busy schedule!

Although keeping myself busy and focused is a blessing in disguise, I still need things that help keep me balanced.  Cardio is one of them, and the second is the blush from Tarte.

What’s so great about it?  (more…)

Glam To Go, perf for when you’re on the go!

18 Jan

I feel like I’m always on the go.  I wish I had 45 mins to primp myself every morning (actually more like 2 hours if I’m being honest), or even BETTER… have a beauty team that preps ME!  However, I’m not a Kardashian.  I work full time and everything else in my life is squeezed in between that.  Keeping Up with the Kardashians = reality tv?  Puh-leease!

For us gals on-the-go, boy do I have a treat for you.

Lets take a peek (if you have time)… (more…)

2 Affordable Drugstore Blushes

28 Dec

Back in the day, women used to pinch their cheeks to get a natural flush of color.  Remember in Gone With the Wind when Brett shows up unannounced, and Scarlett O’Hara pinches her cheeks to compel a natural glow?

Check out these blushes from  Physicians Formula and NYX.  Quality AND affordable?  Is it too good to be true?  (more…)

Where Have You Been All My Life? theBalm Review

15 Dec

theBalm theBalm, where have you been all my life?  I’ve spotted you at my local Sephora, but your brand isn’t as big as some of the others that they carry so I usually just pass right on by.  That is, until I read a review on Temptalia’s site about how outstanding your eyeshadows are.  After that, I was intrigued.  I had to try theBalm’s products.

Was she right?  Did they live up to my expectations?  Check it out!  (more…)

Benefits from Benefit

12 Dec

I don’t know about you all,  but I did some damage on Black Friday.  D.A.M.A.G.E.  I didn’t get up 4am to get a discounted television or anything like that.  I shopped online in my pjs, sans make up.  It was glorious.

I hit up Ulta.com to see what they had, and my attention was immediately drawn to the two Benefit powders for $19.

Where they worth it?  Let’s find out!  (more…)

Get Exited for Illamasqua Blush!

I was on Florida during the Sephora VIB sale this year, but that did not deter me from taking advantage of the 20% discount.  I found the nearest Sephora and got to work!

What’s the big deal?  Check it out! (more…)
