How To: Handle a Sunburn

Hello Beautiful Ones! In case you haven't noticed, the sun is hot out there! I just recently went on a trip to Colorado where I spent some very relaxing time in the cool mountain air (heaven!). Unfortunately though, I forgot to apply sunscreen when I went hiking. The result was that I looked like a very tired and very red tomato! To make matters worse I had to go to a wedding the day after I returned...

Mac Sharon Osbourne Patent Polish Pencil in Patent Pink

Hello Beautiful Ones! This last weekend I attended a wedding that was held out in a pasture (welcome to Nebraska!). The ceremony was beautiful, but it was also extremely HOT. I was melting, so I wanted really light makeup that wouldn't be hot and heavy on my face. It was perfect timing because I had just bought the new Mac Patent Polish Pencil from the Sharon Osbourne Collection in the shade Patent...

Today I'm talking about eye make-up remover. To be exact, I'm talking about the Neutrogena Extra Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Pads.

My Current Favorite Drugstore Moisturizer!

Hello Beautiful Ones! As I've said before I've always struggled with acne, but I was finally able to get it under control after going to the dermatologist. However, I do sometimes struggle with dry skin from the topical cream prescribed by my dermatologist. I make sure to moisturize both at night after I wash my face and in the morning before I put on my makeup. Since the topical cream I use daily...

Beauty on a Budget: Curly Hair Favorites

Hello Beautiful Ones! Today I'm calling all of the curly haired girls who don't want to spend all of their hard earned money on hair products (I know you're out there!). When I was younger I used to be caught in a constant power struggle with my naturally curly and extremely thick hair. After years of straighteners and ponytails I finally found peace with my hair! I realized that things go a lot...

Summer Colors: Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelée

Hello Beautiful Ones! The sun is shining and it is a gorgeous hot summer day here in Nebraska! It's the perfect day to sit and sip a frozen cappuccino (spoiler: that's exactly what I'm doing!). Normally I tend to gravitate towards pinks and neutrals for my face, but weather like this always gets me in the mood for bright and happy colors. During a recent trip to Sephora I picked up the Josie Maran...

Friday Favorite #1

Hello Beautiful ones!  TGIF! Last night I went and saw The Fault In Our Stars, the movie inspired by John Green's book. So. Many. Emotions... If you haven't already read the book I highly suggest you do before you go to the movie (and take some tissues). As a huge fan of the book I thought the movie was a really great adaptation! Now on to the beauty! I thought I would start a new Friday series...

Beauty on a Budget: Hard Candy Hydrating Lip Stain

Hello Beautiful Ones! It's time again for another beauty on a budget review! I'm always scouring the drugstore for products that not only work, but also won't break the bank. It's nice to have variety in your makeup bag, but that's hard to do when you're buying all high end products (sigh)! Ever since I tried the Revlon Kissable Balm Stain I've been wanting more balm + stain combinations in my life!...
