Allure recently released their annual list of the best beauty products. It includes 100s of products; from makeup, skincare, nails, brushes, and more from all price ranges. The list can be a bit overwhelming to go through since there are dozens of products included in each category, so I wanted to narrow down the list and share some of my favorites they included this year. I haven't tried a lot of what was on their list, but the ones I have I absolutely love, as well. Enjoy! Flower Beauty Flower Pots Powder Blush // $9.99 This blush gives such a pretty natural flush of color to the cheeks and blends seamlessly into the skin. Both the product formulation and the packaging are so well done and high quality. The flower imprint also adds such a cute touch to the product. Flower Beauty is one of my favorite brands!  Shade I love: Wild Rose Check out my full review here ! Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow // $24.00 This product makes applying glitte...

One of my all-time favorite makeup products is Stila's Magnificent Metal Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow. I typically don't buy a lot of high end makeup but I knew that this was going to be a product I was going to love - and I do. However, the $24 price tag holds me back from purchasing more shades of this product. Ever since I bought this Stila liquid eyeshadow last August, I have been on the hunt for a comparable dupe from the drugstore. I haven't found anything that works as well as this does...until now.  I came across the Wet n Wild MegaLast Liquid Catsuit Eyeshadow one day at Ulta and after swatching it, I knew I had to try it. I bought the shade Goldie Lux, which looks more like a chartreuse than a true gold in the tube and when applied opaquely. However, I have found that by blending the product on the eyelid with your finger perfectly sheers out the greenish tint and transforms it into a gorgeous glittery gold. It has almost the exact same for...

Happy New Year! For my first post of 2018, I wanted to tell you all about my favorite and most-used makeup products of the past year! I'm going to be splitting it up into 3 categories: face, eyes & lips. I hope you enjoy! *For most of the products I linked to Amazon , which I made sure was an official retailer of the brands I mentioned and not a secondhand seller. I have found the prices on Amazon are much better than those from other websites /   stores   (even sometimes high-end brands!) The prices listed next to the product are from Ulta, but don't forget to check the Amazon links for a discount!   I have bought a lot of makeup from Amazon before and have never had any issues with it.*  Face E.L.F. Cosmetics Blush & Bronzing Powder   $4.00 I love everything about this blush and contour duo! Firstly, I love how compact the packaging is and that there is a mirror included, which is just so convenient. The actual blush/ bronzer has...

Listed below are some of my favorites from beauty, music and books of fall 2017. Enjoy! Beauty  "Give Me Mocha": Wet n Wild Liquid Catsuit   This is one of my favorite liquid lipstick formulas that I have tried from both drugstore and high-end. I have it in the shade "Give Me Mocha" which is the perfect burgundy lip color that goes great with so many outfits and makeup looks. This is one of my most used lipsticks for the past few weeks and it is the perfect shade for fall! Check out my full review of this liquid lipstick and some of my other favorites here: My Favorite Lipsticks: #NationalLipstickDay Buy it here!  "Yes, Please!" Pressed Eyeshadow Palette: Colourpop   I have been non-stop using this palette since I first bought it earlier in the summer. I have gotten so much use out of it for creating summer looks and even more so now with the transition into fall! It has 12 warm-toned shades, all of which are very pigm...
