In 2019 I took a break from buying a lot of beauty products. I tried to be more mindful of the items I was purchasing and not just buying something because it's new and shiny. I tried to shop my stash a little more and recently decluttered a TON of makeup and beauty items that I wasn't using or that are too ol…

This month went by in a blur but also very slowly. It was a rough month for some personal reasons but also a happy one because 1) the weather got cold, 2) Thanksgiving, 3) I turn 25 in two days. November is definitely my 2nd favorite month (October being the first) so I was happy to have it pass by a little more slowl…

October went very slow and I'm very happy about that. It was a busy month for me between three different work trips/events, friends' birthdays, homecoming, and much more -- October is always fun and November is going to be just as great. November is my birthday month and my favorite holiday: Thanksgiving. It w…

Everyone has their makeup vices, the one product they have an influx of because they have that one problem area. I have mine and that is concealer + under-eye products.  A few years back, when I first started getting into make-up and beauty, I realized there was something off about the way my make-up was applying. I d…

I've come to the realization that beauty products are my vice. I cannot resist the latest launch from a major brand or buying something cool I see in a Youtube video. My room/bathroom looks like a mixture of a drugstore and Sephora. As my mom puts it, "You have so much STUFF!" And I do, I cannot help it.…

I have never been to an Ulta, never seen one in person but longed for the feeling of this beauty product heaven. Too much of my surprise and delight, a brand new Ulta store opened up at a local shopping center near my house and I was busting at the seams to take a visit. Well, this weekend, during NYC' rainy weath…

I've been mentioning over the past few weeks that I've bought a hefty amount of beauty products since graduating in May. I went on a bit of a spiral and got into a few fights with my mom about be spending money on frivolous beauty items. Mind you, almost all of the products were purchased from the drugstore be…

I don't know what's gotten into me the past few weeks but my spending habits have been out of control.    If you're familiar with my blog, you'll know that I have a serious shopping problem and that when I have any kind of extra money in my bank account, I spend it.  I don't have any extra money in…

For the past for months, I've been on the search for the perfect under eye concealer. I've noticed that my under eye area is donned with dark circles that no concealer could cure.  It was starting to really annoy me because I just wanted to get rid of these circles! I felt that my makeup never looked as good a…

I used to be one of those girls who didn't need to wear makeup to leave the house; there were definitely days where I just didn't feel like putting makeup on and did just that. As I got older and found new products, that changed. Nowadays, I never leave the house without makeup, expect that occasional Saturday…
