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.

Nails of the Day | Royal Crescent Gardens

As much as I truly hated the Nails Inc Paint Can that I recently tried out, I just couldn't stay mad at Nails Inc. I did end up going back to Sephora to return the Nails Inc Paint Can, but instead of getting my money back I decided to exchange it for a new bottle of their fabulous Nailkale polishes. My favorite color to wear on my nails is mint green, I actually kind of have a thing for that color if you've noticed my blog's logo. When I saw this color I knew I needed it in my mint nail polish collection and thankfully it is quite different to the other colors I currently own.

Review | Nails Inc Paint Can Spray Can Nail Polish

It's not often that a product shakes up the beauty world like the spray can nail polish did earlier this year (see what I did there?). Leave it up to Nails Inc to come up with a truly innovative way to paint your nails. The Paint Can Spray Can Nail Polish was designed for the woman who doesn't have too much time to perfectly apply nail polish. I had heard mixed review about the Paint Can polishes on YouTube, but I still decided to purchase a can and try it out myself. Unlike other reviews I've seen, I'll be showing you how it applies and also how it wears for a week. You already know I'm a huge fan of Nails Inc if you read this post, so I'm definitely going to be expecting this to wear as amazing as their other formulas.

Sephora VIB Sale + First Impressions

The Sephora VIB Sale ended last week but I made sure to take advantage of the discount code while it was active. Normally I have a larger list of products that I want to try out, but this time around I actually had a tough time picking out things that I wanted to try. It also didn't help that the products that I've been dying to try out are launching after the sale. After much brainstorming (because I'm weird like that), I settled on these items pictured. Some are brand new to me, some I already know that I will love, and others just look very interesting. Instead of just taking items out of the box and just showing them in this haul, I've decided to share my first impressions about the products that I hauled in this video.

January 2016 Favorites

The first favorites video of the year is finally here! January was such an exciting and productive month for myself. I found myself in a good posting schedule and extremely motivated to create new content. This past month I also introduced the Beauty Bite videos which have become a very fun way for me to quickly review products and share them with you. I did go a little crazy with the reviews, but there were so many drugstore launches in January that I wanted to review as many items as possible before any of you headed out to the stores. Some of the new products were very disappointing *cough Maybelline cough* but I was able to discover two products which became staples this past month.

My Introduction to Nails Inc

Nails Inc polishes has been on my wish list for such a long time thanks to Vivianna Does Makeup and in December I finally got the chance to try them out. As a nail polish addict, I always get excited to try out a new nail polish range especially one as hyped as Nails Inc. I managed to find some bottles on sale recently because all of the bottles will be getting a little chic makeover so they can have the same luxe look as the Nail Kale range. The formula has to be one of the best I've encountered, and the brush makes it incredibly easy to get even coats of color. I currently own three nail colors and one glitter, but you already know that I'm thinking of more colors to pick up. I think it's safe to say that Nails Inc has completely stolen my heart.

Outfit of the Day | Scarf Weather

Can you believe that it's gotten so cold that I've had take out my scarves? Yeah, me neither. Although our winters here in San Diego are pretty darn weak when compared to what I experienced while I was studying in Paris, when you experience hot weather almost all year long a 30º F drop makes a huge difference. While it's not cold enough for a thick coat, I have gotten the opportunity to wear my thick burnt orange colored snood I purchased while I was in Paris! I've also been on a serious beanie and boots kick lately and the ones that I'm wearing happen to be from the men's section. Maybe shopping in the men's department won't work for every woman, but if you happen to have big feet and a big head (or lots of hair) then you might want to rethink visiting the men's section without your significant other.

Outfit of the Day | My Favorite Sweater

Do you want to know how excited I am that it finally cooled down in San Diego? I am THIS excited! I have been waiting for the weather to cool down and we're finally experiencing 43ºF (6ºC) weather, which means that I can now update my capsule wardrobe and pull out all my sweaters. My favorite piece in my closet for the past few weeks has been this oversized green sweater from Zara that I picked up at one of their sales about two years ago. The sweater had been worn maybe two times after it was purchased, but I think I've easily worn it five times since the weather started cooling down a few weeks ago. Chunky oversized sweaters are definitely not for everyone since they don't enhance your body, but if you're a fan of the oversized trend then you'll love this. Plus it's cozy AF!
