NYX Invincible & Revlon ColorStay Whipped Foundation Review

Full coverage foundations are pretty important to me. My foundation itself is the most important thing that goes on my face since I still have breakouts and redness (or scares) from the blemishes.

Fuzzy Hats & Ice Skating

Things are always an adventure when Kelly’s around. That’s one reason why I just love her! At the end of the summer she moved out of the area, states away, so when she was here for a quick Thanksgiving visit, Jackie and I couldn’t miss the opportunity to hang out with her. Kelly thought it […]

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment

Back when I worked at Sephora during the Holidays, we had the Fresh Sugar duo birthday gifts for the Beauty Insiders. I had never tried the product and had heard from many that it’s a great lip balm.

Iris eau de toilette Spray by Crabtree and Evelyn

About a year ago I discovered at Hallmark this amazing scent. Every time I would go in I would always spritz a little on my wrist, not ready to make the commitment of purchasing a bottle for myself. So after admiring it all this time, this was the only thing I asked my husband to […]
