Beauty & Books: Foot Fetish Storytime

Oh man. I have been really enjoying diving back into Charlaine Harris’ books. I really identify with Aurora Teagarden and I read the series for the first time while I was going to library school. Actually, I really like cozy mysteries where the main character is a librarian and there are more of them than …

Empties & No’s April 2017

Whoooo, I went through a lot of stuff over the past couple of months! My deodorant quest is still ongoing, I have recently developed an allergy to the Tom’s of Maine men’s deodorant I mentioned here. Woke up one morning with super itchy armpits and ring of peeling skin. Fabulous. It’s like the universe just …

Get Ready with Me: New Wet n’ Wild Photofocus Concealer & Elf Eyeshadow

I recently picked up the new Wet n’ Wild Photofocus Concealer (Light/Medium Beige) since I have run out of the Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealer…which I will also no longer be buying. Guys. Trying to figure out the right shade is annoying. I watched many videos, looked at swatches, and generally stared at the display trying …

Current Skincare Routine…Getting to 100% Cruelty Free

So, I’m going to talk more about this in an upcoming video but I’ve recently decided to buy only cruelty free products. There are a lot of different reasons that fed into this decision for me but I am actively working on switching stuff over as I run out/find a replacement I can afford. Let’s …

Whoa! Hello Blonde!

So I’m continuing my funky colored hair and taking it EVEN FURTHER. I’ve decided that rather than try to get the quasi-balayage touched up that I would just go all the way teal and wait for my natural color to grow in at the roots. I wasn’t a huge fan of how the teal faded …

Get Ready with Me: False Eyelash Fail!

Ooooooh man. You guys. This was SO much harder than I thought it would be. You know, you see videos of people putting them on and it’s so quick and easy- just plop, tuck, tuck, and done! I’ve put them on my twice sister when we were testing out her wedding makeup and when I …

Get Ready with Me: Wings & Busted Lipstick

So sad about my lipsticks. I’ve since moved where I store them to limit the temperature changes they are exposed to so hopefully I don’t ruin any more. And thankfully, my very nice MAC lipsticks weren’t damaged. I would have been so upset. Those have been very thoughtfully purchased and, with the exception of Ruby …

Get Ready with Me: NYX 3-in-1 Brow Fail -_-

Wow. This brow product was…terrible. It has a HUGE brow pencil, it’s almost more like a brow crayon, which was very problematic for any delicate part of my brows like the tail. But really, it is so fat that it couldn’t get beneath my brow hairs to deposit the color on my skin it just, …

Empties & No’s February 2017

Ahhhh, a good ole empties video. I love these and this is the first time I’ve ever done one. I find them oddly helpful and informative. I’m not particularly interested in hauls but I am interested in what was good enough to use up and especially interested in what people liked enough to repurchase and …

Makeup Vlog: Maintaining Blue/Teal Hair

This is the color routine that I do every couple of weeks. I have found that the more I dye my hair the better the color sticks and the longer that I can go without touching it up. Like, I’m currently about 5 weeks since my last color touch up and it’s just reached the …
