Beauty, Skincare, and a bit of Lifestyle
Who’s ready to see up-close pictures, swatches, and eye looks of the new Too Faced Star Dust by Vegas Nay collection?! I’ve been using this palette almost non-stop since it arrived and have been looking forward to sharing my thoughts with you all. Ready to dive in?
I’m the type of girl who likes my lipsticks pigmented and long lasting — and Too Faced delivers that every time with their Melted lipsticks. If you haven’t had the opportunity to try them, you’re really missing out! Not only do they feel amazing on your lips, but they’re also sure to have a color to suit every gal out there!
I was sent four of Too Faced’s newer Melted lipstick shade additions a few months ago and have had plenty of time to try them out. If you want to see how they look on my lips and my thoughts on them, just keep reading!

Good morning, y’all!! It feels like forever since I disappeared from the blogging world. Lots has been going on in my life, and I feel like every time I would decide to jump back into blogging again, something would come up and I would have to post-pone again.
However, I am now officially back! And will be back, at least until my due date in November. I’m currently almost 23 weeks pregnant (yay, halfway over!). If you all want to hear an update on what’s been going on since I disappeared, let me know and I’ll consider writing up a little post. I typically prefer not to ramble on about my personal life here —- you’re all here for beauty, right? — but I can make exceptions.
Okay, so enough about me, lets dive into the post. Influenster sent me a few new products from Yves Saint Laurent to try out a few weeks ago and I’ve been putting it to the test!
If you follow me on any of my social media’s (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram…) then you’ve probably noticed how quiet I’ve been. I apologize so much for this and while I haven’t fallen off the face of the planet, I have been rather ill. I found out I was pregnant (Yay, we’re so excited! Our first!! 😀 ) about 2-3 weeks ago, and morning sickness (or….24/7 sickness, as I think is the more appropriate name) really hit me hard this past week.
I will try to continue to be active, whenever I am feeling well enough to function like a normal human being. But if there are long gaps where I am quiet….you can safely assume I am fighting for me life (okay, so it’s more like fighting to keep my food….but it all feels the same). 😛
So, with that all explained, let’s dive into today’s post. If you haven’t heard of this mascara (though I am sure you have, unless you’ve been living under a rock), I’m going into all the details — the good, the bad, you know what I mean — right after the jump. 🙂
I was browsing the drugstore isle at my Ulta (as I always do whenever I go!) and saw the new stand for the new L’Oreal Color Riche La Palette Nudes coming out with, and — to my surprise — there was one palette of the Nude 2 palettes sitting there. Only one. So of course I snatched it up to review for you all!
I’ve been trying this palette out every day since I bought it. But, to make sure I don’t give anything away here….keep on reading to see if it’s worth the steep drugstore price tag or not. 🙂
Brushes are an important part of your makeup routine (for those of us who like to use brushes to apply our makeup, that is), so I’m always on the lookout to expand my brush collection.
The company Bellange approached me in January, wanting to see if I would like to try out their brush set that included 10 different types of face brushes. The whole set retails for just under $20, which seemed a pretty decent price for face brushes, so I was intrigued and (as is obvious because I am writing this post) I said yes.
It has been a long time since I received my last VoxBox from Influenster — see what I got in my J’Adore box — so I did a little happy dance when I received an email saying I was selected to get the newest #RefreshVoxBox.
If you don’t know what all the fuss is about VoxBox’s from Influenster….read my previous post to get all the details. It’s basically a fun program where you get sent products for free to try out and talk about — and you don’t have to have a blog or Youtube channel! If you have some form of social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), then you can join this program and get sent free stuff!
If you want to join this (FUN!) program….leave your email address below and I’ll send you a personal invite ASAP! 😉
So do you want to see what I got in my box?? This post will be an unboxing/mini review on all the products I have tried so far. (Because who doesn’t love an unboxing post, right?!)
