The Covergirl Full Lash Bloom Mascara is Covergirl's newest mascara. I adore the pink packaging with silver lettering.  I will be discussing the waterproof version.

Memebox Detox & Renew Box* - Review

Memeboxes (pronounced "Mi-Mi-box") are Korea's best selling beauty box.  Korean cosmetics and skincare are known to be the best in the world and these boxes are the perfect way to try lots of different products.  Memeboxes include hair, body, and skin products as well as cosmetics.  Each box contains 4-8 deluxe samples and full size products.  There are also special edition and themed boxes.

Today I'll be talking about the Detox & Renew Box.  

Ipsy Glam Bag - February

Hi Beauties!

Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription service.  For just $10 you get 4-6 deluxe sample size or full size beauty items.  These items are typically hair, skincare, and makeup products.  They can range from high end to affordable brands.  Everything comes in a pretty makeup bag that is different each month.

The theme for this month is "#ipsyLove" which is certainly festive for Valentine's month.  The makeup bag is very cute, solid pink on the back, and a colored diamond pattern on the front.

Sigma Beauty Sigmax Kabuki Kit - Review

You can have the most expensive high end makeup, but if your application tool isn't up to par, then the quality of your makeup won't shine through.

Before the holidays I purchased the Sigma Sigmax Kabuki Kit brush set.  This set includes 5 kabuki face brushes that aid in flawless makeup application.

This is how the package arrives.  There's almost always a free gift with purchase with Sigma and for this order I received a small shader brush.

Valentine's Day Makeup - Rose Gold Eyes + Too Faced Melted Berry Liquid Lipstick*

Happy early Valentine's Day everyone!

I created a soft rose gold eye look using the Chocolate Bar Palette along with bold lips using the Too Faced Melted Berry Liquid Lipstick. 

Makeup Collection & Storage 2015 - Part 2 Mirrored Vanity

Hi beauties!

Last week was Part 1 of my updated makeup collection & storage where I featured all the makeup in my Ikea Alex dresser.  Today I bring you Part 2 which will feature my beloved mirrored vanity. 

As I stated in my 2013 makeup collection post, I found this vanity when I was looking for something similar to the Hayworth Vanity at Pier 1.  This Sei Mirrored Vanity at Amazon is just about half the cost and looks almost identical!  I did purchase the Hayworth Bench from Pier 1.  The large mirror is from Home Goods, and the lighted mirror is a Conair one from Amazon.

My Week In Instagram #1

Hi beauties!

Welcome to my very first My Week In Instagram post.  Here are the photos that I posted to Instagram over the past week.

I hope you all had a great week and cheers to a wonderful week ahead!

Makeup Collection & Storage 2015 - Part 1 Ikea Alex Dresser

Welcome to a brand new update of my makeup collection.  You can read my previous makeup collection and storage post here.  Makeup collection posts and videos are my absolute favorites to read/watch from beauty bloggers.  In this post I'll be sharing with you my current makeup collection that I store in the Ikea Alex dresser.  Over the last year and a half of blogging my makeup collection has multiplied by about 100X and I'm loving every minute of it!  I will make no apologies or explanations, I simply love makeup!

I recently purchased the Ikea Alex dresser to store my makeup.  I purchased the short wide version because I prefer the the wider drawers to be able to look at more of my makeup at once.

January Beauty Empties & Mini Reviews

Hi everyone!

Here are all the beauty products I used up in January.  As you can see I went through quite a few full size products and for some odd reason, this makes me extremely proud!  Anyone else feel that way when they finish a full size beauty product?
