Get Ready With Me: My Brother's Graduation

Last week my younger brother graduated from university, so you can just imagine how excited all of my family was. We literally spent all of last week getting things ready for his graduation party, and let me tell you things were a little crazy at home. We were putting lights on the palm trees, preparing Mexican food, and of course there's was a lot of tidying up to do. At the end of the day, all of our hard work paid off and my brother enjoyed his graduation to the fullest. This reminds me, how has it been 3 years since I graduated?? Time sure flies by after you graduate from university!

Top 15 of 2015

Last year was an amazing year for both myself and the beauty world! 2015 was the year of highlight on fleek, contouring the crap out of your face, matte lipsticks, and messy hair. I tried out and purchased many products throughout 2015, but in today's post you're going to hear about the best of the best (well, according to me). These are the products that I would reach for the most, and some which I repurchased several times. All of these products have been mentioned in previous monthly favorites, but they're so good that they deserve yet another shoutout.

Outfit of the Day | The Southern Californian Coat

Do you know how hard it is to find the perfect coat for a Southern Californian winter? Most coats are way too thick for our temperate winters, but this past Christmas I was gifted the most perfect coat. The wool coat from Zara isn't too thick but it's more than enough to keep me warm when it's a bit chilly outside. It can be dressed up to look more chic, or dressed down with a pair of sneakers. And it's the best coat for layering! I was definitely missing a classic coat like this one in my capsule wardrobe, but thankfully my goddaughter knows about my very plain style very well.

Luxury Products Worth the Splurge

For the longest time, luxury products were uncharted territory for me. Slowly but surely I've dabbled into more pricey items and let me tell you, there's something about them that make me feel like a million bucks. While luxury products aren't a necessity, you get a very high quality product and something that looks absolutely stunning when displayed. In my latest video I'm going to be sharing my all-time favorite luxury products that are definitely worth the splurge. I have a hair product, skincare product, fragrances, a brush, and some makeup bits. The video was in collaboration with two of my greatest YouTube friends, Jonathan Curtis and Will Cook. If you want to hear about even more luxury products that are worth the splurge, then don't forget to check out their videos.

How To Buy Makeup On Poshmark and Haul

It's no secret that I love makeup, but what I love more is saving money. Thankfully Poshmark has my back now that sellers can list various makeup products. You can find an incredible array of makeup products from brushes to highlighters, and there's literally every brand you can think of. I was personally on the hunt for luxury products from brands such as Burberry, Marc Jacobs, and Charlotte Tilbury. I've managed to save $10-$20 off products by simply shopping on Poshmark so in this video I'm going to share what I've purchased, as well as share some of my tips so you can start saving on makeup as well.

Chatty High-End Makeup Tutorial

The chatty makeup tutorial is back and feeling very fancy! This time around I used a lot of the products that I bought during the Sephora VIB Sale. Many of you were curious to see some of the products I bought in action, so I'm going to show you how they apply and share my thoughts about them. This tutorial is by far my most high-end tutorial, but that doesn't mean that you can't recreate it with drugstore makeup products. Also, this video is a long one so make sure you grab yourself something to drink and a snack!
