How to Trim Your Own Bangs

Since getting bangs I've been getting asked how I style and trim them on recent videos and in my social media posts, so I decided to film a quick tutorial for you. Trimming your own bangs is not only very easy but it'll also save you quite a lot of money in the long run. I've been trimming my own bangs for years now and I've learned a lot from all the mistakes that I've made in the past. Don't worry though, in this post I'm going to walk you through all the things you should avoid doing so you don't end up with tragically short or crooked bangs.

Birchbox November 2016

You know what time it is? It's time for my monthly Birchbox! This month's theme was "The Finish Touch," which basically covered all those products that one would use to pull a look together. Sometimes little liner, blush, or even a step like exfoliating makes a world of a difference to your face. With only two more months left in the year, I really expected Birchbox to deliver an amazing box. I do have to say that Birchbox have set a really high standard for themselves with the past boxes I've received, but this box was definitely different to say the least. I won't try to spoil anything for you guys but this box is certainly worth checking out with your own eyes.

Warby Parker Home Try-On

My love for Warby Parker goes waaay back to even before I began this little beauty blog, I began following them around 2011 when I was just 21. Once I started my blog they became the very first brand to reach out to me to see if I wanted work with them (you can read that post here). From the moment I tried out their home try-on program in 2013 and learned more about their ethos, I knew this brand was truly special. It's no secret that Warby Parker revolutionized the way we shop for glasses, but for me they were the brand that opened my mind and allowed me to see glasses as more than just a boring and expensive life necessity. I currently own two pairs of Warby Parker frames (a pair of eyeglasses and a pair of prescription sunglasses) and I'm looking to expand my Warby Parker collection so I decided to try out some new frames. This time around I paid close attention to the measurements of each frame to make sure that each frame was going to suit my face.

Sephora VIB Sale 2016 Haul

The happiest time of the year has finally arrived- No, it's not Christmas or my birthday but the Sephora VIB Sale! Alright... Maybe I'm hyping up this sale a bit too much, but ask any beauty addict and they'll tell you all the items in their Sephora VIB Sale wishlist. Although the discount isn't jaw dropping, I'll gladly take 20% off on brands that pretty much never go on sale. This time around your girl decided to treat herself in quite a big way. I've always taken advantage of this sale, but this time around I have more money to spend on myself so I did just that. I picked up a few incredible gift sets, bought a few favorites in new shades, and even got a few new items to try out. The sale may be over by now, but if you missed out then this is your chance to build up that Christmas wishlist of yours.

October 2016 Favorites

Last month I predicted that October might be the month that could turn this year around and well... I can safely say that it definitely gave me a brand new outlook on life. This last month was so enjoyable and it allowed me to have so much fun. First of all, my new job at bareMinerals has been absolutely incredible! This last month I also got the opportunity to make new friends and reconnect with one of my oldest friends. As far as makeup goes, I had so much fun playing with more colorful looks thanks to the Juvia's Place The Nubian 2 palette which I recently used in a tutorial. I'm feeling more and more like my old self as time goes on, which is definitely a really good thing.
