Happy Halloween! In today's post I'm going to be sharing some of my favorite celebrity costumes from this year - enjoy!  Ariana Grande Photo Credit:  @ArianaGrande &   IMDB Ariana's costume this year is based off of one of my favorite episodes from The Twilight Zone called " Eye of the Beholder ". The prosthetics are so incredibly well-done and so accurate to the original episode. Ariana always goes all out with her Halloween costumes, but this is definitely one of her best and most creative! Kylie Jenner Photo Credit: @KylieJenner Kylie Jenner is another who goes all out with her Halloween costumes every year! This year she had so many different costumes, but the one that stood out the most was her as Marilyn Monroe for the cover of V Magazine's digital Halloween issue. She perfectly encapsulated Marilyn's glamorous style!  Kim Kardashian Photo Credit: @KimKardashian Kim Kardashian dressed up as the icon...

In today's post I'm going to be sharing my thoughts on Ariana Grande's latest fragrance release named after her iconic hit song and album - "thank u, next"! Enjoy! I have been using Ariana Grande's fragrances for years and have absolutely loved every one of them. I compared her 4 previous fragrance releases in a recent post that you can check out here - it's one of my favorites! "thank u, next" is an Ulta exclusive product that retails for $42 (1 oz), $52 (1.7 oz), and $62 (3.4 oz). A travel size is also available for $22 (0.3 oz). It is also sold internationally in Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada and Boots & Superdrug in the U.K. (prices may vary outside of the U.S.) “I wanted to make a fragrance that smells related to my first fragrance Ari but more summery, so I revisited Ari’s fruity pear and raspberry notes and changed it up by adding some coconut. I was inspired to design a bottle that represented the message of my song “than...

Flower Beauty is my favorite makeup brand and I have loved all of the products I've tried from them! I recently bought the Shimmer & Strobe Highlighting Palette - which I have loved using over the past few months! This palette now comes in 2 shades - Champagne Shimmer and Sunkissed Shimmer. I have Champagne Shimmer, which I would say is most suitable for fair to medium skin tones. Sunkissed Shimmer is best suited for medium to deep skin tones. Each palette has 3 different highlighters, that I love to wear alone or mix together for a custom shade. I bought this from Ulta, but it doesn't seem to be available anymore on their website. However, it is still for sale at Walmart & Flower Beauty 's website for $14.  This palette includes a brush, which is great quality and perfect to apply highlighter! Flower Beauty usually includes a high quality brush with their palettes, which I love because they are very high quality, apply the product seamlessly, and...

I recently came across a collection of single eyeshadows from Sephora's in-house brand that has blown me away! Sephora Collection is a very underrated brand that makes really great products at an affordable price. I don't go to Sephora often because I overall prefer the experience shopping at Ulta, but whenever I stop into Sephora, I always check out this brand. Last time I went, I came across their section of single shadows that I've never noticed before. I instantly loved the color selection, pigmentation, and vibrancy of each shade.  These shadows come in 87 different shades and 4 finishes - glitter, metallic, matte, and shimmer. Any eyeshadow shade you need, I guarantee this collection will have it! Each shadow retails for $8. The shadows with a glitter finish stood out to me the most in the store. It's so hard to find ultra-glittery eyeshadows that are actually eye safe, since most on the market today are made with large particle...
