Love Letters and Lace

Disclaimer:  I was sent these products for free, for review purposes. All opinions, as always, are 100% my own! If there's one makeup product that I tend to forget to use in my routine, it's usually primer. I've tried out quite a few primers that I feel like don't do much for my makeup or just don't make much of a difference so I often tend to skip it. A few months ago I was sent some Arbonne samples to try out (you can read my review on the RE9 Advanced Line here ) so I was curious if this primer would do anything different for my skin. This primer is one of the silicone feeling ones that smooth out your pores and leave your skin super smooth . It reminds me a lot of the Benefit PoreFessional , minus the strong scent. This one has no scent , which I appreciate since my skin can be sensitive to scented products. Thankfully I don't have any negative reactions to silicone primers, but I know some people do, so keep that in mind. I definitely think

I've always been interested in delving into the world of natural beauty and skincare products, but I've never been too sure where to start. Fortunately for me, M Squared Brands sent me this lovely package filled with some amazing looking natural products that I cannot wait to review for you all! I've been trying out a lot of them since the package arrived, but I'll wait until I've formed concrete opinions on each before reviewing! I got quite a few products from the brand Acure, which I am excited to try out. I haven't yet tried out the Aromatherapeutic Moroccan Argan Oil but how amazing does that sound? I'll definitely be trying that one out very soon. The packaging on these products are also super cute! I also receieved the Lavender Calming Body Lotion and the Quick Fix Correcting Balm.  As someone who suffers from eczema, I was immediately drawn in by the Calendula Intensive Skin Recovery cream from the brand Weleda, and it's been the one ite

Note: I received these items complimentary from Influenster and BITE Beauty for review purposes. As always, all opinions are 100% honest and my own!  Okay, real talk for a second. Lip pencils have never been my go-to makeup item. I've tried so hard to get into using lip pencils, but I really couldn't. Either they were too stiff and dragged on my lips, or I just found they didn't last and did nothing. So I was definitely intrigued to try out BITE Beauty's Lip Pencils. Could this be the product I've been looking for? I've heard such amazing things about their Amuse Bouche lipsticks, so I had high hopes that I would find similar quality in these pencils. From the first initial swatch of these, there's one thing I noticed that I've never experienced with any other lip pencils: these things are damn creamy. They apply so smoothly, it's essentially like they've repackaged a creamy lipstick into a pencil format. This does unfortunately mean tha

This eyeshadow is so stunning on the eyes, you really have to try it to understand what I mean. I think I might have worn it every day for a week all over my lids with just a darker brown buffed into the crease. It's just so gorgeous. Colourpop's website describes this one as a "true rose gold" but it falls a bit more coppery on my skin tone I think. Its still such a pretty, satiny colour that looks even prettier when the light hits it. Definitely a must have if you're planning on ordering some shadows from Colourpop! xo

Have you ever gotten so frustrated with your current makeup or skincare situation that you frustratedly purchase a bunch of new products hoping to find something to make it all better? No? Just me? I was having the absolute worst time trying to deal with my skin lately. It's just been so incredibly dry and flaky, nothing in my current routine could fix it. My skin looks and feels terrible and my makeup looks just as bad. So I decided to purchase some new skincare things to help fix this issue.  The first things I picked up were the Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask and the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. I bought them in the smaller travel sizes since I never know how my skin is going to react to them and I didn't want to make a big investment in a product that would cause me to break out. I also picked up the Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil because my skin is painfully dry and everyone and their grandma has raved about this stuff.  I also decided to pi

Note: This product was sent to me for review purposes. As always, all opinions are 100% my own. I always keep it real for you all! :)  Those of you who’ve been following my blog for a while now know that my biggest skincare struggle is my under eye area. Dark circles, fine lines, puffiness, you name it, I’ve got it going on over there. I’m basically always trying out new products for that area, so when I was asked to try out the VIIcode Eye Mask for Dark Circles, I was very intrigued. I had never actually tried out an eye mask before, so I had pretty high hopes that this would make a difference for me. These are a gel formula mask that you apply to your under eyes for 8 hours two or three times a week. After having tried out a box of there (there are 6 pairs per box), I’ve actually started to notice a difference with these. A full treatment takes 3 boxes, but after 1 box, I’ve noticed my under eye area is smoother and much more hydrated. My dark circles haven’t completely

As promised, I'll be posting swatches of all the things I ordered from Colourpop all through this week. I had to post this one first though because, I mean, just look at it. Is that not the most gorgeous golden colour you've ever seen? I kind of just want to slather it all over my eyelids. It applies super pigmented (one swipe is all you need) and the colour is honestly breathtaking. I own a lot of bronze, gold and neutral colours, but I feel as though I don't have a straight up pure gold colour like this, so I'm very excited to try it!
