So far, I have loved everything that I’ve used from the brand Huda Beauty. I am personally biased because I think her story is so inspirational on how she became a famous blogger and beauty brand owner. Whenever she comes out with a product, I always have high hopes for her product. Being a blogger herself, I trust that she has a good idea of what the consumer wants. That being said, I was so excited when she came out with her new demi matte lipsticks. I bought the shade “Game Changer ($20).”
Happy Thanksgiving!! I’m thankful for everyone who follow my blogs and insta and likes and comments and interacts with me! <3 You guys are the best!! Let’s do a review of the Jaclyn Hill Eyeshadow Palette ($38) first and then we will jump right into the makeup – saving the best for last! The packaging is super cute. However, I feel like beauty bloggers and YouTubers always complain when there’s no mirror in the package so I thought it was strange that she didn’t include one. It’s not really a big deal to me though because I almost never use those mirrors for my makeup. First Impressions The colors in this palette are beautiful! I think it’s nice that she included every shade of brown that you would ever need. The black shadow in the palette is beautiful, but not the most potent black I’ve tried. So far my favorite black eyeshadow is the one in the Huda Beauty Original Rose Gold Palette. I don’t like that she doesn’t include just a flat white/cream matte shadow in the palette to set your eye shadow base with. Both of the white colors have a sheen to them so they are better for brow bone and inner corner highlight. I also think it would look beautiful if you add just a touch of those white shadows to the middle of your cheek highlight to make it stand out just a little bit more. I love the purple and blue and green that she added – especially the green! The green is so pretty and I can’t wait to actually use that. I think that green shade is actually the perfect “new” fall color. I’ve been seeing lots of yellows and reds as usual but I really think green is very in right now. I don’t like that she didn’t add a transition color in the palette for the colorful shimmers but that’s not a huge deal. I think she did what she could with the space that she was given. All in all the palette is BEAUTIFUL! She’s good at creating beauty products! She knows exactly what we want in a palette and I think that it’s pretty amazing, especially for the price tag! I definitely think that this is a palette that everyone needs just because of the range of looks that can be created just by using this palette. I…
If you live in Florida, then you know that Fall weather is just a slightly less hot summer. It’s that awkward time where it’s not quite sweater weather but it’s still cold in the morning and then super hot in the daytime. For me, the key to dressing for fall in Florida is dressing in layers. I love a really cute casual blazer paired with a cute pair of jeans. I feel like blazers just make any outfit look just a tad bit cuter. I’ve paired this blazer with a bodysuit from Missguided. I’ll share some bodysuits that I think are super cute at the end of this post! The jeans pictured here are from Fashionnova. I LOVE their jeans because they fit so nicely and they’re super affordable. My wristlet is from coach, but I got this as a birthday gift YEARS ago. By the way, have you noticed the re-emergence of small bags? I swear big purses were all the rave just a couple of months ago but it seems as though small bags are in now. I paired this outfit with one of my favorite pair of heels. This outfit would also look cute with a nice pair of black flats or some boots if you are lucky enough to live somewhere cold!

Lancome Teint Idole Foundation claims to be a comfortable, 24 hour wear foundation! I never actually touch up my makeup during the day because I’m too lazy to walk around with powder and a brush! The most I’ll do is blot. That’s why I was super excited to try this foundation! For reference: I wear the shade 415 W and I think it is a GREAT match! Not too yellow, not too dark and not too light I have oily skin A good foundation will normally last 4 hours on me without getting oily I’m not sure who wears foundation for 24 hours – it’s definitely not me! However, I do have pretty long days. When I’m at school I’m there for at least four hours not including travel time. The longest work shift i do is normally like 9 hours. Even though I haven’t tested this foundation for 24 hours I’d say a good 12 hours is enough right? I’ve actually been using this for the past few months so I can give you the real tea on this! I’ve tested this using my favorite primer ever – the smashbox photofinish primer. Longevity IT DOES NOT LAST 24 HOURS. I kind of knew that was gonna happen cause lets be real when does that ever happen if you have oily skin. I’d say it lasts a good four hours before my skin gets oily which is actually okay with me. Finish It’s got a velvety-matte finish which I love! It literally looks like skin and it is not cake-y at all. It’s a liquid which I love for everyday because it’s super fast and easy to blend out. Coverage If you’re looking for a good medium coverage foundation – this is it! It definitely doesn’t cover my darker acne scarring but it’s enough coverage to even out my skin tone, get rid of redness, and cover acne scars that are lighter. Shade Range I think the shade range is amazing, especially for golden tones. They did a really good job of getting the undertones just perfect. Overall The packing is super cute (glass packaging). I love that it has SPF (and no flashback) and all in all I think it’s a really great foundation for everyday wear! Will definitely repurchase. Have you tried this foundation? What are your thoughts?

Imagine waking up every morning with amazing lashes! Well, that’s exactly what lash extensions do for you! I am literally amazed at my lashes and want to stare at them all day long. If you’re like me and you’ve always wanted to get lashes but were unsure, I totally recommend them. Before getting them done, there are some things you should know. Pre-Application Do not wear mascara the day of your lash appointment. You want your lashes to be clean so the glue can properly adhere to them. Make sure that you shower before you go because you won’t be able to get your lashes wet for 24 hours after. This is so that the glue has time to set. Application First, my lash artist had me fill out a form to acknowledge the process of what was about to happen. She also assessed for possible allergies. After this, I laid down while she put a piece of white paper down (not sure the term for it) on top of my bottom lashes to ensure that my top lashes would not get stuck to my bottom lashes. They glue the lashes to your real lashes. Your eyes have to be closed during the whole application process so now is a good time for a nap! Since I got a volume set, the application time took about two hours. You can go for a more natural look if you’d like but I went for d r a m a because I was attending a wedding. The procedure does not hurt at all!! Aftercare 1) No mascara! Wearing mascara will reduce the longevity of your lashes. If you get a volume set like I did you will not need one drop of mascara. 2) Sleeping with your face up is recommended for obvious reasons. 3) Brush the hairs with a clean spooley day and night so the lashes do not get clumpy. 4) Use an oil-free eye makeup remover because oil can dissolve the glue. Some people recommend washing the hairs with a makeup brush dipped in a mixture of baby shampoo and warm water to remove any makeup remnants at least one time a week. 5) If you want to keep the lashes, it is recommended to get a fill every 2-3 weeks. They will fall out when your eyelashes naturally do. If you want to have them removed, it may be…
