Makeup Vlog: Blue Hair!

I’ve wanted to do blue hair for ages. Like for more than a decade. Actually, that’s not totally true. I really wanted to go pink. At first, I was convinced I could never pull pink off because I’m not a natural blonde. Then, because the desire never went away, I dyed some sections underneath (by …

Makeup Vlog: Soap and Glory’s Kick Ass Powder

I loved this look. Everything seemed to work so well. The shadow and liner were fabulous. I was just very pleased. And the powder has continued to be amazing. It is probably my favorite pressed powder I’ve ever tried. It’s giving loose translucent powders a run for their money. I do still want to try …

Makeup Vlog: Elf Hydrating Primer

The dryness in Texas really messes with my skin and hair. I was born and raised in a very humid climate so I am not acclimated to this level of dryness which, to be honest, is not that dry in the grand scheme of things. While I’m in north Texas all of my hydrating activities …

Makeup Vlog: Back in My School Bus Tiny Home

Still trying to get lighting figured out. It became increasingly obvious that my DIY ring-light was not cutting it. It couldn’t put out enough light and was oddly yellow despite using bright white LEDs. Those Uggs. Totally worth it. I have chronically cold feet and once their cold it’s so hard to warm them up …

Makeup Vlog: Glow Mist by Pixi

I have a Sims problem. I love it. There’s just something about playing a little person doing people things that I find very enjoyable. Although, the Sims 4 does not even to close to the same ability to customize stuff as the previous versions of the game which is sad and disappointing. Still fun though …

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. …

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 …
