In today's post I'm going to be sharing a review on one of my new favorite products, Flower Beauty's Blush Bomb! Enjoy! Flower Beauty has been one of my all-time favorite makeup brands for a long time and I was so excited when they released this product a few months ago. I love cream and liquid highlighters, but I've never used a liquid blush like this before, so it did take some time for me to figure out how it  works best for me.  This product is very pigmented, so a little bit goes a long way. I typically don't use much more than a pea sized amount. I often end up applying too much of it, so if this happens to you, I recommend putting few dots of your concealer or foundation over top of it to tone down the color. Even though it has intense color payoff, this product wont stain your skin and washes off easily at the end of the day. This product would be perfect for both oily and dry skin, because it is long-lasting, but also doesn't accentuate any dr...

In today's post I'm going to be sharing some of my favorite and most-used makeup products of the past few months - Enjoy! "Glitz" // Kylie Cosmetics Super Glitter Gloss // $15 Kylie Cosmetics makes some of my favorite liquid lipsticks, so I was excited to finally try one of their lip glosses. I have the shade "Glitz" which is a beautiful peach with gold glitter. I've tried a lot of glitter-based glosses and this is one of the best formulas I've used (my all time favorite is the Flower Beauty Galaxy Glaze). The glitter doesn't feel gritty when applied on the lips and the pigment applies evenly. "Glitz" looks so pretty on it's own but if you're looking for a more toned down look, I also love to mix it in with other glosses or apply it on top of lipstick.  Now that Kylie Cosmetics is sold at Ulta, I definitely want to try out more products from the brand so leave me some recommendations in the comment section below! ...

In today's post I'm going to be sharing my favorite red carpet looks from this year's Grammy Awards & some of my thoughts on the show! Enjoy! Cardi B Lady Gaga Camila Cabello Post Malone Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott Dua Lipa Miley Cyrus Kacey Musgraves Shawn Mendes Janelle Monaé Ariana Grande The best parts of the show, in my opinion, were the performances. My favorite of the night was Lady Gaga's rock rendition of "Shallow". I would've loved to see her perform it with Bradley Cooper, but hopefully they will at the Oscars in a few weeks! "Shallow" also won the award for Best Pop Duo/Group performance, which was so well deserved. Lady Gaga gave such a beautiful and genuine acceptance speech, as well. Another favorite was Kacey Musgrave's performance of "Rainbow". I saw her live last summer in NYC when she opened for Harry Styles and she sounded g...

Andy Warhol’s “From A to B and Back Again” exhibit at the Whitney Museum of American Art is the first major retrospective of his work in nearly 30 years curated by a United States museum. The Whitney’s collection ranges from his first lesser-known pieces of work from the 1950’s when he was a commercial illustrator to his final work until his death in 1987. Over 350 works of art are on display, giving a complete timeline in progression of his career as an artist.  The first room of the exhibition focuses on the foundation of his art career, while he working as a commercial illustrator primarily in the fashion industry when he first moved to New York City from Pittsburgh. At this time, he also started making his own personal art aside from his job. In the early 1960’s Warhol began experimenting with subjects involving post-war America through his art, which is a movement that went on to be known as pop art. He would use images that were in the media, cartoon ...

In today's post, I wanted to take a look back on some of my favorite makeup products from the previous year. I tried a lot of great products in 2018 & I'm excited to share them with you! Enjoy! EYES Milani Eyeshadow Primer // $6.99 Before I put on eyeshadow, I always start with this Milani primer. Over the summer, I was having an issue with my eyeshadows creasing and fading quicker than they have in the past (without using any base/primer) and I decided to try this since it is really one of the only drugstore eye primers that I've heard good things about. From the first time I tried it, I knew I loved it. All it takes is a tiny amount that I blend in with my finger and that's enough to secure the eyeshadow all day. Colourpop Pressed Powder Eyeshadow Palettes // $16-$20 Colourpop makes so many incredible products, but one of my absolute favorites is their pressed powder palettes. The formula is very dependable and consistent throughout every p...
