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.

2 Looks Easy Eye Looks Using the Giorgio Armani Eye Tints

On Sunday I uploaded the Giorgio Armani Eye Tint review and today I have a tutorial using the Eye Tints. I actually didn't plan on doing a tutorial but I had so much leftover footage of me creating these two looks for my review. I honestly felt really bad to let the footage go to waste, so instead I decided to take that footage and create a tutorial showing you two very easy eye looks using the Eye Tints shades that I reviewed. The results are a simple everyday eye look and the easiest smokey eye imaginable. In the tutorials you'll be able to see how well the Eye Tints blend out and onto one another, which is one of the main reasons why I love them so much.

Outfit of the Day | The Drop

In my last outfit of the day post I had mentioned my capsule wardrobe plans, well I did it! I am not partaking in the Project 333 Challenge, but I did declutter my closet quite a lot. I used to have over 200 pieces in my closet and I condensed it to less than 60 clothing pieces. I now feel very comfortable with the number of clothing pieces that I own, but that means that you'll be seeing some pieces over and over on the blog. I'm sure that most of you won't mind since realistically speaking we're all repeat offenders, and that's totally ok! In this blog post I'm going to show you one of my favorite outfits that I've worn this summer which happens to be a great transition piece as we're heading to fall (although it doesn't even feel that way here). This post also features the beautiful marble drop earrings from Happiness Boutique which is an online clothing and accessories shop based in Berlin. The shop offers affordable classic, minimal, bohemian, and trendy jewelry for any type of occasion and personal style.

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!

April 2015 Favorites

Ahhhhhhh... It's gonna be May! Well it already technically is May, but I just felt like starting off a blog post with that because I'm a 90's kid for life. Before we begin a brand new month of beauty discoveries and rediscoveries, it is time to look back the my most-used products in the month of April. There's a good mix of new and familiar products, as well as drugstore and high-end makeup. And how pretty is the flower arrangement? An event planner dropped it off after an event finished up outside of work and now I get to use it to make my pictures much more springy. 

Sephora VIB Rouge Sale Haul

There are two dates that every beauty lover looks forward to: the spring VIB beauty sale and the sale in November. As much as I love buying makeup, let me be real- Sephora has some really expensive products and brands. I love whenever there's a chance to save a little money at Sephora, because I can finally go for the more pricey products that I've been meaning to try for the longest time. This sale was no exception, I was preparing myself and my wallet for this event for the last month. The result- a pricey haul but I managed to save around $50 and get some good Ebates bucks out of it, so overall it was a success. 

March 2015 Favorites

It had been some weeks since I last sat down to talk to the camera, so recording my favorites felt really great. Last month I was sick for two weeks, so I wasn't wearing a whole lot of makeup while I had the flu. This month's favorites features products that I've never talked about in this channel, such as a toothpaste. Yes, a toothpaste. I also discovered a great Argan oil that won't break the bank and a foundation so lightweight that I can't feel it on my face. Also, if you live in San Diego I will be co-hosting a shopping event on April 11th at Madewell. For more information watch the following video.

February 2015 Favorites

I'm a little late to the February favorites party but better late than never. In February I got to try out many new product but only the ones mentioned truly blew my mind. You might see some items that you've heard me talk about in past favorites but that just goes to show how much I really like them. When it comes to my favorites if I keep reaching for the same product on a regular basis, then I'm going to keep mentioning it until I either get bored or find something better. As much as I want to expose my audience to brand new products in each favorites videos, the true monthly staples are always the ones who make the cut.

Makeup for Work

I've been extremely busy at work the past few weeks and I honestly haven't had much time to play around with makeup. Last week the place I work at opened their second location. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal but when you're talking about a small business a second location is a huge deal. I've been taking a lot more shifts and responsibilities which has in turn slowed down my blog and YouTube just a bit. Since I've been busy I decided to film a quick tutorial right before I left to work on Tuesday. This tutorial is great for any working woman, student, or busy mom.

Color Scheme | Peach

You might be wondering why I'm posting about peach colored makeup as we head into the fall but when it comes to makeup I'm not one that follows the "rules." Peach makeup is flattering year round so I decided to dedicate a blog post entirely to my favorite peachy colored items in my makeup collection. There's some great blush options options that will pair very nicely with a cat eye. Peachy nudes lip products are the perfect companion to a dark smokey eye. And if you're looking to try out any dark lipsticks this fall, then a soft peachy eyeshadow will let your lips be the main attraction. Peaches might not be in season at the moment but the following products are definitely very fresh.

Spring Beauty Haul

I told you that there was going to be another haul and here it is! In today's haul I'm going to show you the stuff I've picked up at Sephora, MAC, Ulta, Yves Rocher, Lush, and last but not least my Julep Maven box. There's a lot of things to get through and all of them happen to be very spring-y, so if you're interested in seeing what I have picked up please stay tuned to watch my newest video.

February 2014 Favorites

February has come and gone! Honestly, where did month go? I feel like I just recorded my January favorites like last week! In this month I have a couple of the products that were in the big haul I showed you last month, so there's a lot of new products that I've never talked about. Last month may have been all about tangerine lips, but in February I toned it back a bit and started embracing more neutral colors. What can I say? I like to shake things up even if it's by toning down my look.

Face of the Day | The Beauty of Simplicity

There was once a time that colored eyeshadow and smokey eyes used to be my go-to looks, even for school. When I first started getting into makeup I figured I could apply almost any color on my face, so I did. Looking back at those pictures aren't necessarily embarrassing, but I do wish I could have taken it easy with Electric Eel (an eyeshadow that I bought just because of MGTM's song Electric Feel). Nowadays I have learned to embrace more neutral looks that enhance some of my features. Hopefully this will be a stage in my life that I look back upon and think "I looked nice," instead of "WHOA, BLUE EYESHADOW!"

MY BIGGEST HAUL EVER!

It is finally time for me to show you all of the things I hauled during December and January. I did quite a bit of damage but good thing both my birthday and Christmas are in December so I usually end up with quite a bit of shopping money by the time the sales begin. In this haul I have a little bit of everything from drugstore items, to beauty tools, and even some high end products. I'm a bit proud and ashamed at the same time at how many products I have in this beauty... can I use the whole "being a beauty blogger" excuse for this haul?

Empty Products #3

It's time for yet another empties video! In this video a lot of the products I finished were stuff that I have reviewed on the blog so I will leave a list of the reviews down below so you can check them out. I also burned through quite a lot of candles, including one of my favorites called London Calling. That candle smelled exactly like tea and lemon and unfortunately isn't available anymore (tell me why Bath and Body Works!). If you're a fan of empty product videos or are interested in getting mini reviews of products I've tried then you have to check out my latest video.
