Beauty & Books: Maya Banks

Now, I will say that these books don’t re-read very well. That’s when you start to really notice some of the odd and repetitive phrases that erotic literature authors tend to use. But that first reading was pretty good. Regarding 50 Shades of Grey, I thought that it was really just an abusive relationship being …

Beauty & Books: Cherry Cheesecake Murder

LOVE RHOMBUS. That is all. Also, I got my timeline wrong. My husband and I started dating at the end of his semester when he visited for a week not during Spring Break. Seems minor but we were both dating other people earlier in the semester. It was a very sweet, very quick moving relationship. …

Beauty & Books: Peach Cobbler Murder

The Hannah Swensen series continues and continues to get more ridiculous. I think it would be a fine cozy mystery series if the engagement nonsense didn’t go on and on and on and on. It just gets really tiresome. Like, she doesn’t even know if she does want to get married, she’s not in deeply …

Makeup Vlog: ColourPop Lunch Money

I realize that my version of cold is barely cold. Florida winter is really just less hot than summer. Lunch Money is one of two ColourPop items that I own. I really like it. It’s a super pretty champagne highlighter that goes on very thinly. I don’t find it to be glittery which I really …

Makeup Vlog: Wings on Hooded Eyes

Having hooded eyes makes eyeliner stupid hard. Especially wings, like all I want are cute wings in all sizes but instead I get curly lines where the liner hits the outside fold of my already down-turned eyes. I’ve found that baby wings almost never work-there’s a really small area on my eyelid to work with …

Beauty & Books: Hannah Swensen series

Ahhh, Hannah Swensen. Fun for a while and then ridiculous. The Amazon reviews for this series get progressively more amusing though so that’s a bonus. I ended up really enjoying the L’Oreal Pro-Glow foundation. It’s a fairly good match, maybe a tad too yellow. Having olive undertones- I have a lot of green and blue …

Beauty & Books: An Origins Mask & Cozy Mysteries

So I borrowed this mask for my mom’s large mask stash. She is definitely the gateway for a lot of my masks. My mom loves them and has incredibly sensitive skin so if it doesn’t bother her/is amazing it’s usually good for my skin too. I liked this mask. Didn’t love it, won’t purchase it …

Makeup Vlog: ColourPop Trust Me…

Trust Me… is my first ColourPop Lippie Stix. Actually it’s one of the only two items I have ever purchased from ColourPop- I don’t generally like buying cosmetics online unless I’ve already tried it but those prices…SO GOOD. It’s a Matte X formula and of the matte lipsticks I’ve tried is not the most drying …
