Review: Mineral Girl
I am definitely a mineral makeup loyalist, but that doesn’t mean I only wear Bare Minerals! Recently, I was tempted by Estee Lauder’s Doublewear Mineral Makeup.
Here’s my two-cents:
The formula is silky smooth, and feels creamy after application which is great, especially in the winter. I apply it with a regular powder blush all over just after applying my cover up. It...

A Very Merry Christmas
Hello Beauties!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, filled with friends and family and lots of good food! Here are some of my holiday instas :)
Not pictured: The white iPhone 4s my parents surprised me with! I finally feel like a real human now that I have a phone that doesn’t take 3 minutes to load a keyboard, lol! I’ve definitely been playing with it all weekend!

Something Shiny: My Holiday Manicure
I’ve definitely been feeling that it’s time for something that sparkles and shines — don’t you think?
I’ve been a little too scared to try out the glitter-on-nails trend, so I went with something a little more subtle. OPI’s “Over the Taupe” as the base, and Essie’s “Luxe Effects: A Cut Above” to add some seasonal sparkle.

My Favorite Skirt
SO: I do this thing where I buy something I love, can’t get enough of it, and wear it all the time. This Kensie Skirt is the prefect building block for any outfit, and takes me from noon to night in an instant. Therefore, this skirt makes an appearance in my wardrobe at least twice a week. Sorry I’m not sorry.
Shopping Information: Kensie’s Crepe Chiffon Skirt, on sale for...

Procrastination-Inspired Gift Giving
Disclaimer: This gift set compilation was put together under the somewhat ass-hole-ish assumption that you, the reader, only forgot to get things for your fabulous girl friends. If you forgot to get something for dad, just hook him up with a tie.
ANYWAYS … Listen, you really can’t go wrong with giving a female on your list some skin care or make up related items. Why? Because even...

Review: Boots Purifying Face Scrub
In order to keep my skin acne and blackhead free, I try not to use the same facial cleanser every morning and night. And I definitely prefer cream cleansers, switching between one meant for clearing up acne and another meant for clearing up blackheads. But recently, I added a new facial cleanser to my regimen: The Boots Purifying Face Scrub.
Many exfoliators are guilty of stripping away the...

Scene Queen Christmas Gift
For the hipster in your life:
I love these not because I love etch-a-sketches or anything, but because they inspire some annoyingly fond memories of that Will Ferrell movie that keeps playing over and over and over again on ABC Family. You know…
That one.
Anyway, I guess I’m not that much of a scene queen and don’t deserve either of these cases. But I’m sure you...

Hell Yeah: Dior SKINFLASH Cover Up
Recently I’ve been on the search for the tools to create a flawless, yet natural looking face.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a beauty team like this lucky gal. It’s just me, myself and I… plus all my bills and my hungry cat. I can’t afford to spend a ton of money on a beauty product, but I can afford to spend $37 on one that really, truly works.
I never knew what...

All I Want for Christmas...
Is a subscription to Birch Box …
A personalized necklaced from Dogeared Jewelry…
This Rebecca Minkoff iPhone Case…
And these Marc Jacobs head phones…
That can’t be too much to ask for, now can it? I know it’s really silly to lust over $42 headphones, but I don’t own any Marc Jacobs! And I use headphones basically every day! What’s not to...
