Everyone loves a good glow am I right?

I have so many highlighting palettes and will be getting more ( That BretmanRock Morphe Palette anyone?!) because I think that a good glow adds so much to a look just as much as a pair of lashes does. I cannot begin to tell you all how many times I’ve just gone in to purchase a palette and it looks like identical to something I already own but I can’t help myself!

The ones that I am showing you all today are the ones that I use the absolute most and always grab one of these when I’m doing my makeup. I’ve also included shop links down below if you’d like to purchase them; The only one not linked down below is the Gimme More! Palette by Colourpop since the website isn’t registered with Shopstyle unfortunately.

I think we can all agree that some of us reach a point where we don’t really know what we are doing or where life may lead. We always have a sense of doubt in whatever we’re doing, especially for me since having graduated with my Bachelors degree; I am constantly doubting where I should be in my life. A question that I am always asked is what my “dream job” is and what I’m doing to achieve that goal.

Self Love & Why “Me-Time” is Important

March 19, 2018 Leave a Comment

It’s been an extremely wearisome couple days and I’ve been exhausted since I had another panic attack last week for reasons that I won’t get into for personal reasons. I have never been so exhausted and continuously working is stressful enough; being drained emotionally doesn’t help either. I am the type of person that can definitely neglect self care and end up being so overwhelmed that I get to this point over and over again. Reasons why I am writing this post is because of this very reason since it is so incredibly important to care for yourself.

I am so quick to just get into a routine and work my ass off all the time and on top of that, trying to keep a somewhat social life can be all too exhausting. I’ve noticed a few reoccurring things that I do to pamper and or calm myself down when I am emotionally and mentally drained.

I think that some of us lose sight of what is really important : which is OURSELVES. Most women I know take care of everyone else before they take care of themselves. You are important, and deserve “me-time” for yourself.

Self care is so important and I’m going to give some tips on what I do to calm myself down and or to pamper myself when I’m stressed. I want to reiterate how important self-love is and how easy it is to take a couple of hours to yourself. Keep on reading my loves, and get ready for some of my favorite ways to relax!

NEW MAYBELLINE DRUGSTORE PRODUCTS

March 6, 2018 Leave a Comment

This time of year is so fun, with all new products coming out it is so hard to keep my excitement contained because I want to buy everything once it comes out. I bought these products a bit ago and just now have had time to sit and write up a post on them. Drugstore products have been stepping up their game, and the Maybelline Superstay foundation is now my all time favorite foundations. You can find my review on the Superstay foundation as well right here.

I decided to pick up a little bit of everything without going crazy, I purchased mascara, lippies, and my foundation in this haul.

VIIcode O2M Oxygen Eye Mask : Review

March 5, 2018 Leave a Comment

Hello Lovelies!

This time around, I am reviewing a skincare product that I genuinely love. I’m always interested in skincare products and anything that rehydrates my skin after wearing makeup all day is definitely something I am down to try. I have been trying these for a little over a month; and each time I’ve worn them over night they have been so hydrating and leave my under eyes feeling refreshed the next morning.

The main thing that I really love about these eye masks, is that they are meant to be worn all night and they don’t slip at all. On days where I’ve worn makeup to work and come home, taking my makeup off is the best feeling ever. The crazy difference with these eye masks are that they are gel-based and feel so cool on my under eyes!

Each box contains 6 packets with 2 masks each, and are jelly like in consistency which is what makes them so refreshing when you place them on your under eyes. After a long day at work, it’s definitely is much needed!

SHEIN HAUL | REVIEW & TRY-ON

February 22, 2018 Leave a Comment

Hello Lovelies, I’m back again with my favorite post so far! If you watch any Youtube videos and keep up with the times lol you have to have heard of SheIn. I’ve decided to do a review and try-on for you lovely readers. I purchased a little bit of everything and they all were exceptionally made and really good quality. Online shopping can be hard for me, especially with me super petite but everything fit quite well.

History:

If you haven’t heard of Shein, it is a Chinese wholesale website that offers cute clothing for really affordable prices. I have always wanted to try out Shein and purchase different things after watching multiple Youtube hauls and obsessing from afar. Shein started as a small company in North Brunswick, New Jersey in 2008 and it has exploded ever since. I was worried that my order was going to take forever. Surprisingly it only took five days to get to me, which is incredible.

Everything I purchased was under $15 and my total was about $87 or so. I’ve included links for all the pictures in this post with their corresponding pictures. If you have any specific questions please let me know in the comments below!
