Today I am sharing my January Ipsy bag! I am honestly not theee biggest fan of the bag  design, but some of the products are nice and I am excited to use them! One of the first things I got was the ' SL Miss Glam blending eye shadow brush '.  (I struggled trying to find the exact brush online but I linked another one.)  This brush is really pretty.  Honestly almost too pretty to use!  LOL.  I love a good blending brush and the hairs of this one are very soft. The next product I got was the ' Jelly Pong Pong lip scrub .'  I was not a fan of this.  I do not like lip scrubs that you have to wipe off.  I do not want to put anything near my mouth that I cannot ingest.  That kind of grosses me out to be honest.  This product also seems to be waaaay over priced for what it is. I then received the 'M annakadar beauty powder blush in the shade Paradise Blush .'  I loveeee this so much.  The color payoff ...

I really hope that all of you reading this had THE best holiday season.  I got super sick for Christmas (yay) and have been so busy with work and seeing family that I haven't been attending to my blog much and I'm sorry!  I am sooo sad that Christmas has come and gone but now I have next year to look forward to. (: Today I wanted to share my New Year Resolutions!  I feel as though now that I am a bit older, each year they seem to be similar, but I tweak them just a little bit.  Cheers to 2017! 1.) Be more consistent. I want to be more consistent with eating healthy, working out, etc.  I sometimes will do something once and then not stick to it. 2.) Stick to a schedule/routine.  I want to try to eat at specific times of the day and have certain days when I do chores.  And even when I want to get my hair and nails done.  Basically, utilize my planner more for this. 3.) Be creative!  I have so many 'dreams' and things that I wan...

Hey guys!  I am sooo sorry that I have not posted in a while.  I feel awful.  I have been so busy with work and life and now I am super sick and Christmas is 4 days away.  I wanted to share with you today my Ipsy bag that came to me this month. The first thing I received was the ' Beau Gachis concealer brush '.  This brush is nice but I am not sure that I will grabbing it often.  I find that I enjoy using a makeup sponge to apply my concealer rather than a brush because normally brushes leave streaks.  The brush itself is very soft though...I will give you that! The next product is the ' Marc Anthony Nourishing Argan Oil of Morocco conditioning treatment ' which smells amazing.  I have yet to try this on my actual hair but when I put a little on the back of my hand, it was very soft and smooth.  I love any mask.  Wether it's for face or hair!  Excited about this one because I really like Marc Anthony. Next I got...

Well...it's that time of year again!  And I could not be MORE excited!  This will be our first christmas "together" in SoCal which we are really happy about because that means that we are super close to our families. This guide is my personal wishlist but also some great ideas for anyone out there that you need to  get a gift for and simply just need some ideas! I also suggest making/creating an Amazon wishlist or a Wanelo account.  (I have a whole post on Wanelo from a while back if you don't know what that is.) Ok well let's jump into it! This is the ' instax mini 90 ' camera that you can purchase on Amazon.  This camera is really cool because obviously, the photos print immediately, but you can change your settings!  Like a double exposure!  I mean how cool for a polaroid! This is the album ' Tween by Wye Oak ' that you can buy off of Amazon.  I think vinyl is such a cool thing and when you play it out loud, it honestly sound...

Hey guys!  This is part two of my Holiday wishlist/gift guide.  I always like ideas for stocking stuffers because for some reason, I find it very difficult to find things! Here are some little things I have been eyeing that would make perfect stocking stuffers... Sheet masks!  ' These Tony Moly ' masks are from Urban Outfitters and I want to say that they are 4 for $10...that's really good! This goofy little card game called ' Who's Most Likely To... ' also from Urban Outfitters. This is ' bath soak powder '!  Urban Outfitters has a few different scents and I think makes a really cute little gift for a stocking. ' This ' dainty little necklace from Urban Outfitters is so delicate and beautiful. Pins!  I love this ' rose ' pin from UO.  I have a leather jacket and a denim jacket that are filled with pins.  They are so fun to collect and there are soooo many out there! Can't go wrong with some ' Q...

This months  Ipsy  bag was a greaaat one for me.  I am super happy about all the items I got! The bag design this month is cute.  I love the fact that it's a mix of astronomy and makeup.  Very cute idea! The first product I got was this set of 3 botanical sheet masks from ' bonvivant ' which I am obsessing over.  I have yet to try them, but if you know me, you know I love face masks.  Sheet masks are awesome too although I always get sad that each pack only has one mask in it.  But the fact that Ipsy sent me 3!  I cannot wait to try each one. The next item I got was the ' Elizabeth Mott lip lacquer ' in the shade 'Moxie Mauve'.  I loveee this shade.  I wish it was a little bit more on the matte side but overall it has really good pigment! Next I got the ' Formula X nail polish ' in the shade 'Huntress'.  I already am a huge fan of Formula X and when I got this shade, I was like....(insert heart...
