Beauty Review: Korres Lip Butter Glazes

Ready for a new beauty review? Well then here ya go! Today I am reviewing the Korres Lip Butter Glazes. The 4 flavors/colors that I have are Jasmine, Pomegranate, Quine, and Raspberry. You can find them at Korresusa.com for $14 each. I genuinely loves these lip butters and use them all often. The Quince and Raspberry colors are perfect for fall, but you could wear them any time of the year. Check out the pictures down below and the video to hear all of my comments about this product!

Halloween Tutorial: Cleopatra (Video)

This was so fun to film! As much as I love creepy Halloween looks, pretty ones are just as fun! With the help from some fancy decals and a headband from Spirit Halloween, the rest of the makeup was probably things you already have! I hope you guys enjoy this! 

Swanky Sunday - A Sephora Shopping Spree

Come on, who wouldn't want a Sephora shopping spree? I'm pretty sure if someone came to me and said "You have an unlimited budget at Sephora, have at it, you deserve it." I think I might die. Or maybe just lay on the floor and cry tears of pure joy for at least an hour. Who knows. But, if by some miracle of God, that ever happens, I promise to let you know how I react. Or have Briam film it to sweeten the deal. But for now, filled with only hopes and dreams, I've created a fantasy shopping spree! Basically everything I would get with my shopping miracle.

Tutorial: Glammed Up New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve is such a glamorous night. All the parties, dress, fireworks, champagne, and promise of a new year. I love going out with Briam and being able to share the beginning of a new year with him. We talk about our resolutions, watch the fireworks, and normally get some kind of ice cream. It always feels like a refreshing way to start your new year off right!

For those of you who are looking for a more glamorous look to rock on your NYE night out, then you've come to the right place! This look is inspired by all of the gold and black decor your normally see around this holiday. Not to mention, it's quite sexy and very dramatic!

Get Ready With Me: Wedding Chic

I love weddings. Not only am I beyond happy for the blissful couple, but it makes marriage seem more real for Briam and I. Because the wedding was for a good friend of his, I think it makes him see that settling down and "putting a ring on it." I gave up the idea of getting married at Disney just because the price would be outrageous. A girl can dream though! I still consider myself a princess because one day I'll marry my prince. 

Well that's enough of me babbling about my fairy tale ending, let's get into this look! For the wedding I wore a beautiful midi dress from Anthropologie, some jewels from Chloe + Isabel, and shoes from Charlotte Russe. No need for a purse, that's what I have Briam for! I curled my hair, tousled it around, and spritzed with hairspray. Keep scrolling to see what I used for my makeup!

Tutorial: Welcome to Winter

When I think of Winter, I always think of the greeting cards that are blue and gray with trees and snow everywhere. The scenery seems so gloomy, yet there is a natural beauty to the understated darkness. I guess you could say that was my inspiration for this look. I didn't want the eyes to be too dark, but somewhat muted with blue and gray. Pairing that with a nude lip and flushed cheeks just seemed so perfect for welcoming the frosty weather! 

Blue/Gray Shadows and a Nude lip. Perfect for Winter!

Get Ready With Me: Thanksgiving with My Family

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mine was quite an interesting, but pleasant one! I worked late on Wednesday the 27th, stayed up until 4:30am on Thursday morning with Briam cooking the turkey, made cocito with Briam's mom around noon, and got to my parent's house at 2. We had dinner with my parents, my stepsister, and her two friends around 3. Briam and I left before 5 because I wanted to take a quick nap before work, but that nap never actually happened.

I went to work at 8pm on Thanksgiving and pushed through the craziness of Black Friday until 3:30am. I then went back to work at 3:00pm and stayed until midnight. My Thanksgiving weekend was crazy. I'm very thankful that I had my family and Briam there to keep me going.

At dinner, it's tradition in my family that we each say what we're thankful for that year. I want you all to know that I'm thankful for you. Each time you read a post or leave a comment, my heart flutters. It means so much to me that you take time out of your day to read my posts and watch my videos. Thank you for being there for me.

Happy Thanksgiving!

November Favorites 2013

November was quite an interesting month for me. It had ups and down, but overall it was pretty good. The looming thought of entering the "real world" after college was prominent, but so was the joyous thought of a proposal after graduation. November started the search for "big girl jobs," as Briam and I call them. Plenty of applications have been sent out, but only time will tell.

Aside from all of that, November proved to be a month full of favorites from all different categories. I love each and every one of these products so very much. A few of them I would even consider for a "lifetime favorites" post! (23 years, what a lifetime, huh?) 

Yes To Cucumbers Sensitive Skin Soothing Eye Gel  

Bath and Body Works Stress Relief Hand Cream  

Maybelline Cover Stick in Light Beige 

Fossil Riley Multifunction Stainless Steel Watch in Rose Gold
