Hey guys!
I’m sorry it’s been a couple weeks since I’ve posted, but I have been super busy as always. It’s the end of the school year (my last day was yesterday!) and it’s senior year so I have been crazy busy with finals and graduation requirements! I have graduation on Friday, so these last couple weeks were the final stretch and I had to be focused on school. I was so stressed out, but now I am super relaxed haha it’s a complete 180! Now I’m just really excited for graduation and this summer 🙂
Even though I was really busy in May, I did actually have a lot of favorites that I managed to spare time to get. A lot of that has to do with Prom since I needed a couple of make-up products, and luckily I ended up loving a lot of them!
This lip balm has been a life saver! My lips usually get dry around this time of year, and I tend to pick at them when I’m stressed, so they were in pretty bad shape but this little guy fixed them really quickly! I put it on any time of the day, but I always try and put it on at night so I wake up with nice, soft lips. And it smells really nice! I love both lemon and vanilla so this is perfect for me.
This has also been really useful! With my lips being dry and flaky, I have used this quite a bit. I like to use it especially before I wear lipstick so it goes on really smoothly. It also smells great and tastes really yummy! I have always loved bubblegum (when I was little I always chose the bubblegum flavored medicine haha) so this is right up my alley!
Okay, so I had been using the Almay eye make-up remover, but it burns my eyes really badly – sometimes they would even be red after I used the product, so I decided I should probably switch to a different one. I went into Sephora and they suggested I get a cream eye make-up remover, so I got this one! It has a lot of other benefits as well, like moisturizing under your eyes, and it works really well. It takes off all of my make-up, even mascara, without any mess and leaves my eyes feeling amazing! I love it so much.
So I had been running extremely low of my usual concealer (the Make Up Forever HD concealer) so I decided to go in and get another tube of it, but they were out of my shade. Since I was basically out, I needed to get some that day so I decided to give this one a try since people have said that it works just as well as the Make Up Forever one. Plus, Tarte uses great ingredients and doesn’t test on animals! This product works great and conceals really well! The only thing is that it isn’t matte so you have to use a good finishing powder so your face doesn’t look oily, but I always use powder to set my make-up anyway, so that really doesn’t bother me. Overall, this is such a great product and my new favorite concealer!
I got this lipstick for Prom since I needed a more nude color, so I picked this up in the shade “Angelic Nude.” I ended up reallllly loving it! It looks so pretty on because it looks really similar to my natural lip color, so it just adds a little subtle pop to my lips. The formula is also so great! It hydrates my lips instead of dehydrating them like a lot of lipsticks. It really melts into the skin and feels so great, and it doesn’t sink into the little fine lines on lips so you don’t look crazy by the end of the night. You do have to reapply it every couple of hours which doesn’t bother me because my lips feel so great while wearing it! It is seriously just like really pretty chapstick.
Here’s a swatch of the color.
I ran out of my previous setting powder, and I had really been wanting a translucent one so I decided to give this a try. I have heard great things about it and I really love it! It sets my concealer under my eyes so well. I love how it makes my skin look after I apply it, and it has made my morning routine a lot faster! My skin also feels so soft after I use this.
I also got this brush to apply the powder with since I didn’t have a big, fluffy Kabuki brush. It’s super soft and I love it! It works really well for putting on powder.
Alright, that’s it for my favorites! What did you love in May?
Thank you guys so much for reading and I hope you have a great day! (:
Hey guys, sorry it’s been so long!
I, yet again, have had a crazy week. April is usually pretty busy for me, and this year is no exception! Last week I went on a couple of college visits in Seattle, and the rest of the week and this weekend was insane with just random things.
But anyway, today I have a review for you guys!
I am a big fan of this line, and have the heavier ultra repair lotion that I used for the winter since my skin gets super dry. So now that it’s spring, I needed something lighter and that’s where this bad boy comes in! I have been using it for a couple of weeks now, and I love it! It’s the perfect texture for my skin; it isn’t too heavy or too light. I use it morning and night and a little bit goes a looong way haha I was so surprised at how little I actually need in order to moisturize my whole face! It makes my dry patches go away but doesn’t make my skin oily – I could probably go on and on about this product! If you’re unhappy with your face lotion right now, I highly recommend this one!
As always thank you so much for reading, and I hope you have a great day! (:

Hey guys!
So today I really didn’t have an idea of what I was going to post about, since I like to post on Sunday’s because they’re so lazy and wonderful, and then the lovely Becca from Being Becca nominated me for the Liebster Award! I have been nominated a couple of times but I have never gotten around to actually doing it, however this time it seemed like a lot of fun! So basically you write eleven facts about yourself, answer eleven questions from your nominator, come up with eleven questions of your own, and nominate four other people!
So here we go!
Eleven Facts About Me:
1. I am an extremely shy person at first, but once you get to know me I tend to be a little crazy!
2. I absolutely love to read and write.
3. I hope to be a successful writer one day, but I also want to be an anthropologist, archaeologist, journalist, screenwriter, or maybe a criminal profiler…I really don’t have it figured out at all!
4. I adore animals, and have three dogs and four cats of my own! They are seriously my life.
5. I love classic cars, and basically cars in general, which I get from my dad.
6. I have never lived in a neighborhood, and I hope to keep it that way! I love living on acreage and having the outdoors to explore around my house.
7. I want to travel to many places, Paris, Greece, and Scotland being the top three as of now!
8. I am turning 18 in less then a month now, and I have absolutely no idea which college I will be going to next year, or what I will be studying, and that scares me so much!
9. I am addicted to Jamba Juice and I go there so much that the employees know my name and order. I get the Orange-a-peel and oh my gosh my mouth is watering just thinking of it!
10. I am a home body and I really don’t mind being alone.
11. I always have to have my water bottle with me and I freak out whenever I forget it somewhere!
Becca’s Questions:
1. Why did you start blogging?
I felt like I had so much to say, and I really wanted a place where I could share my life, random thoughts, likes, dislikes, fashion ideas, outfits and the beauty products I use. I also love to write, so I feel like this little space on the internet is mine to do whatever I want with.
2. What is your current favorite item of clothing?
I got this green tribal print cardigan for Christmas and I absolutely love it(it is the sweater from my January favorites). It is perfect for days where I don’t really want to make an effort, but still look nice, and it is nice and warm! However, for the spring I am so excited to wear my lilac-y grayish kimono cardigan!
3. Favorite skincare brand?
This is a hard one because I have so many skincare favorites from so many different brands, but my favorite drugstore brand is Burt’s Bees (they came out with a line for animals recently!) and my higher end favorite is First Aid Beauty.
4. What is your current occupation?
I am a student currently!
5. Disney or Harry Potter?
Ahhh I love both! However I have an obsession with Harry Potter so I’d have to choose that. I have read the books and watched the movies too many times to count… I also went to Harry Potter world at Universal Studios last year in Florida, and I just about died. That is my ultimate dream summer job!!
6. If you had to dye your hair a color other than natural colors such as blonde, red etc what would you choose?
This is surprisingly easy because I think it is so pretty when it is done right, and that is lilac! I don’t know why I love it so much, but I think it is gorgeous. I have seen so many pictures of it on tumblr and I just love it. However, I will probably never have the courage to actually do it!
7. False eyelashes or extensions?
Hmm…probably extensions because I think long hair is so pretty.
8. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?
On a warm, white sand beach, laying out in the sun with a good book!
9. If you could only watch one program for the rest of your life, what would you choose?
Probably Reign! It is such a good show and I love history. And for some reason I have always been obsessed with Mary Queen of Scots so it has quickly become my favorite show. The characters’ dresses are also SO gorgeous.
10. One rule you live your life by?
I have several, but my dad has always told me “It ain’t nothin’ but a thing” so I try and think of that whenever I’m doing anything scary. Honestly, I love trying new things even if they terrify me. I get so nervous sometimes before trying things like zip-lining or a particularly scary roller-coaster, but I just tell myself it’s just a small thing that will be over in a couple of minutes, so I might as well try it! It’s something that doesn’t allow me let myself down, because honestly if it weren’t for my dad and his saying, I never would have ended up so ambitious to try new things!
11. Your favorite food?
Salsa and blue corn chips!
My questions:
1. Who is your biggest inspiration?
2. What is your favorite thing about blogging?
3. What is your dream job?
4. Favorite store?
5. What is your go-to look?
6. If you could only use one make-up product, what would it be?
7. What is your favorite book?
8. Favorite type of food?
9. What is something that you are looking forward to in the next couple of months?
10. Biggest life lesson?
11. Favorite quote?
My nominations:

Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a great day! (:

Hey guys!
So for the longest time I have been dying to go to Lush! I have seen so many bloggers rave about their products, and watched so many hauls of all the great products they sell, but I hadn’t even been to Lush yet! The most local one around where I live is about thirty minutes away, which honestly isn’t that bad, I have just been way too busy to try and fit that visit in. However, I had varsity swim districts this past Friday and Saturday, which was literally five minutes away from Lush, so I had the perfect excuse to go on Friday!
I didn’t get a lot, just the It’s Raining Men shower gel and three samples, the Ocean Salt Scrub, Dreamwash Shower Smoothie, and Skin’s Shangri La Face Moistourizer (not pictured because that one is actually my mom’s haha). I didn’t get the full size of the scrub or shower smoothie because I wanted to try them out first to make sure they didn’t irritate my skin, as I have suuuuper sensitive skin that tends to be very picky with new products. However, I have tried all of the products except the face lotion since it’s for more “mature” skin (my mom tried it and she absolutely loves it!) and they have worked wonderfully with my skin! They all smell so amazing, and my skin feels so soft after I use all the products. I will be going back this week to get the full sized tub of each sample!
I am so excited to go back, because I also want to look at their body butters and deodorant. I looked up some reviews about the deodorant because I want to make sure it actually works, and the general consensus seems to be good! I also love that they make all of their products themselves with natural ingredients and that they don’t test on animals! I always try and get products from companies that don’t test on animals, so Lush is a godsend. Honestly, I could just go on and on! I’m just so excited to have finally been to Lush haha!
Have you ever been to Lush? What is your favorite product? Have you tried any that I mentioned in this post?
As always, thank you so much for reading, and I hope you have a great rest of your day! (:
