Shopping My Stash and Creating Magic Volume 1

Shopping My Stash and Creating Magic Volume 1

I don’t consider myself to be a pro at doing makeup nor do I consider myself an expert on the proper use of each product. What I do know is that I’ve been hoarding this mass collection of beauty products that I honestly don’t give enough attention. This last month I decided that if I purchased a product then it would get used. I would force myself to step outside of my “natural makeup” comfort zone and to try new and different looks.  Lately, I’ve been going to Pinterest for inspiration and challenging myself to try and recreate certain looks.…

Feeling Beautiful with Skintimate

Feeling Beautiful with Skintimate

I made my legs happy with Skintimate as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #SkintimateStars though all opinions are my own. Judging by this photo you can probably already tell that I have a very complicated Beauty Routine.

  We’ve all been there, all night parties, late night study sessions, or just not getting enough sleep. You wake up and you look like death warmed over.. or just to be nicer you look plain tired.

I love to use the color beige…

Does the size of beauty or nail stash determine your social status? Do you have a helmer or Ikea Alex unit dedicated to your Nail polish collections? If you do consider yourselves among the elite of beauty hoarders collectors. With the new dawn of social media outlets allowing beauty bloggers to easily share instant picture of their hauls or stashes and the mass wave of YouTube vloggers taking you through the opening of a box to show you a new lipstick it’s not uncommon that one picks up beauty hoarder tendencies. I mean of course you need every piece of…

Save the Undies with U by Kotex

Save the Undies with U by Kotex

[button link=”#” target=”_blank” color=”default” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”left”]This Post is sponsored by U by Kotex. All opinions are my own.[/button] I’m on a crusade with U by Kotex to SAVE THE UNDIES, and my wallet.  I remember having a conversation with a couple of ladies a while back about how every month we would go out and purchase a new pack of panties just for that time of the month. I never wore my good panties, you know the kind with all the lace and frills. During Eve’s curse I wanted to be comfortable and cool knowing that I wasn’t ruining…
