Boxycharm is the only subscription I currently receive. I selected it because I enjoy trying new, under-the-radar cosmetic companies. Most importantly, I love that Boxycharm sends only full sized products. In the past, I have grown tired of receiving small samples that run out quickly or don’t pack the same punch as their full-size counterparts. (Like […]
Kylie Cosmetics KoKo Kollection: yay or nay?
As of 11/17/16 at 1 PM PST, Kylie Cosmetics will re-launch the sold out matte lip and gloss limited edition set that was created with her sister, Khloe Kardashian. I was able to snag this set when it initially launched, and have had some time to wear and swatch the shades. The Shades… “Okurrr“(Bright […]
Skin Care Favorites
Skin care is one of my top priorities. Skin is the canvas for every bit of makeup you’ll ever apply–so having a great foundation is ideal. Of course, no skin is perfect and I struggle with my fair share of skin issues (skin imperfections, visible pores, and a moderately oily t-zone, which leads to black […]
Makeup Game Changer: Setting Spray
Depending on where you are within the world of cosmetics and beauty products, you likely lie somewhere on the spectrum ranging between ‘What’s setting spray?’ and ‘Yes way setting spray!’ A few years ago, I had no idea what setting spray was nor why I should use it.

My Holy Grail Hair Mask

What Instagrammers/Bloggers/Vloggers rarely if ever document is the absolute rats nest long hair can turn into if you aren’t on top of your game with regards to hair care. Hi, my name is Elizabeth, and I have had dreadful looking long hair multiple times […]
Brand Review: ColourPop Cosmetics
How I found the brand… After Kylie Jenner launched her lip kit line in mid-2016, I noticed the brand name “ColourPop” popping up (forgive the pun) in my social media feeds. Articles claimed Jenner was selling ColourPop products and charging a higher price because of her celebrity. At the time, I struggled to get my […]
Tarte Cosmetics Mini-Haul
My order from Tarte Cosmetics arrived today, (woo hoo)! I think the best part about ordering online, besides not having to leave the house, is the countdown ’til delivery day! Tarte Guard Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 (for daily use) As a nurse, I firmly believe in using and encouraging others to use daily SPF. Even if […]
October Favorites
Autumn is an amazing time of year. Especially in North Carolina. The leaves are changing, heat and humidity start becoming intermittent rather than constant, and pumpkin spice everything is everywhere. What’s not to love? Of course, transitioning to fall makeup is one of the best parts! For October 2016, I have been using a variety […]

A Lifetime of loving beauty products
If you’re wondering how long I’ve been addicted to beauty products…the answer is roughly my entire life. (Although at certain times, it certainly hasn’t looked like that would be the case). I began my foray into beauty as many kids do; watching my mother apply makeup at her vanity. I loved watching her use what seemed like […]

Whenever I find something I […]
