Trestique Magic Mattifying Balm & Blotting Sheet Duo | Review


Quick and multipurpose makeup products are ideal for a busy lifestyle or for instances when you want to put yourself together but don't have the time for a full routine. Even for full fledged full face makeup lovers and wearers like myself they're simply just a great bang for your buck. Who doesn't love a product that they can use in more ways than one. Trestique, the multipurpose makeup gurus, have made life a little simpler once again with their new Magic Mattifying Balm & Blotting Sheet Duo. A primer, mattifying balm, and blotting sheets all in one cute and compact chubby pencil style package.

Tea Talk Tuesday | Post #64 Bye Bye Beautiful


Makeup products come and go - it's an inevitable fact. Although makeup lines have core product lines they also have seasonal collections and limited edition items that disappear pretty quickly if you don't scoop them up while you can. I never get too upset about losing out on limited edition/ seasonal makeup pieces because I know how that whole show runs and if I didn't pick it up while it was available then that's just my loss. Core products in makeup lines change sometimes too. Products become outdated and formulas are changed over time. Deep down I know most makeup products won't be around forever although there are quite a few brands with products that have really stood the test of time. Never the less I feel like I was blindsided when Sephora Collection discontinued my favorite contour color.

Tea Talk Tuesday | Post #63 The Murder Mystery Co.


This year has already been off to a pretty good start so far. I've kept up with my new year's resolutions for a whole 17 days so far and overall life really seems to be on the up and up. I'm still trying to push myself a bit and get more done but so far so good. The other day was another step in the right direction. I've been keeping up with my goal to get out more and be more social by going to The Murder Mystery Company's interactive "Midnight Masquerade" dinner theater with my best friend, Megan. I'm not even going to act like this is something I would normally attend because I barely do anything in public let alone something that forces me to interact with strangers but, it pushed me out of my element in the silliest way and we ended up having a great time.

Actually Organic Pure Moroccan Argan Oil | Review


Cold biting winter weather is in full swing on the east coast which means chapped faces, fingers, and just about any other body part you can't keep tightly wrapped underneath layers and layers of clothing. As skin gets drier and keeping it hydrated becomes more and more difficult oils become great alternative to standard moisturizers and creams. Oils are great multifunctional products, perfect for hydrating everything from your face to the ends of your tresses.

What I Use to Dye My Hair Red | My Most Frequently Asked Question



I've had this post in the works for awhile and I actually had the entire post written and ready to go in my drafts when blogger decided to totally wipe everything I had written from the post. It's a defeating feeling but the show must go on and here we are once again. 'What I use to dye my hair' is my most frequently asked question by far so I figured there would be no better topic for a blog post. This way I can go into a lot more detail other than just what products I use.

Tea Talk Tuesday | Post #62 New Year New Goals


Just like the rest of the world I'm more than happy 2016 is over. I  so excited to start anew with a list of new goals, plans, and adventures. It's been awhile since I've sat down to write a post like this for several reasons and excuses that I won't dare to bore anyone with right now. I'm ready to leave all of that behind and just focus on everything that is ahead of me. I'm not really sure what this year will bring but I'm confident that it's going to be the best year yet or at the very least it's going to be better than this year.
