Bellange Kabuki 10-Piece Makeup Brush Set Review

4 Comments

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.

From Food to Makeup — it’s all in Influenster’s Refresh VoxBox (Unboxing & Review)

5 Comments

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?!)

My February Favorites!

11 Comments

It’s time for me to share the products I really loved during the month of February!

I also wanted to clarify that I am not picking products just to share — I will only feature products in these monthly posts that I truly loved and used a lot during the month. If there is a month where I didn’t gravitate toward any products more than others, I won’t have a monthly favorites. Does that make sense? I hope so!

With that being said, I only have three products that really stood out to me this month. They were all relatively new purchases for me, and I just got into a rut where I was using them on a daily basis. Let’s start from the top!

Blog Schedule Update!

Leave a Comment

Really quick, I want to get on here and let you know that my blog schedule is going to change up a bit. Starting this week I will only be posting twice a week — Mondays and Thursdays (So the next beauty post will go up tomorrow). I’m not sure if this will be my new schedule from now on, but it will be for the next several months.

I’ve been finding myself worn thin between traveling, being a wife, and putting out quality posts for you all. And since the next few months will only get busier as we prepare to move and my husband has some down time to spend with me, I think this is the best way I can balance everything.

Who knows, maybe once we move and my husband starts radiology residency (and I never see him anymore, lol!), I’ll be able to go back to my usual, 3 posts a week, schedule.

I was really torn while making this decision, but I think — in the end — it’s for the best. I hope you all understand and aren’t too disappointed in the lack of posts in the months ahead. Stick around — I am hoping this schedule isn’t forever!

So, the new schedule, once again, is Mondays and Thursdays at 7:00am, PST. And you never know….sometimes I may surprise you with a post in between 😉

Love y’all!

Have you heard about the talents of Sandra Byrd? Not only can she take you back in time, but she can also spin the most compelling and mysterious tale you have ever heard. I highly recommend her Tudor series, Ladies in Waiting.
But if you want something fresh, new, and just as full of mystery and intrigue as her previous hisyorical series, then jump into this post and see what I have to say about her newest book, Mist of Midnight!
