Tony Moly Egg Pore Blackhead Steam Balm

Hello Beautiful Ones! The alternate title for this post is "I'm a sucker for cute packaging." This is a beauty product that wasn't even on my radar, I just happened to run across this little egg shaped beauty during a trip to Sephora and I knew I needed to try it. Honestly I had already made my mind up about getting it before I even knew what it did exactly. So today, I'm reviewing the Tony Moly...

Hello Beautiful Ones! Confession: I'm a little bit stubborn. I know what you're thinking: what in the world does that have to do with mascara?! Well, today's fab or flop feature is a product that has been getting gushing reviews all over the blogosphere lately and I think that's why I've been dragging my feet so much on trying it myself.

Maybelline Called Out Makeup Shaming on Twitter and It Was Awesome

Hello Beautiful Ones! So this is a post that has been floating around in my head for a few days and I can't not write it out. The other day I was mindlessly scrolling through Twitter (as one does) when a post caught my attention and made me scroll backwards. It was a tweet from the makeup brand Maybelline's official twitter account responding to a tweet they had been mentioned in: www.twitter.com/Maybelline The...

Lush - The Comforter Shower Cream

Hello Beautiful Ones! I have to admit I was a little sad when I heard that Lush was retiring some of their old products (the You Snap the Whip Body Butter and Space Girl Bath Bomb were two of my favorites!), but I was also pretty excited to hear that there was a whole slew of new products coming! As soon as I started hearing about the new things available at Lush's Oxford St. store the one that really...

The 5 Looks From Lauren Conrad's NYFW Show That Are On My Wishlist

My Wish For You

Hello Beautiful Ones! Do you ever feel like you have just blinked and suddenly years have passed? I'm definitely having one of those moments right now because my little sister turned 18 today! What?! It seems like just yesterday we were playing with Barbies and watching Disney Channel together and now she's starting her senior year and preparing for college! Being 6 years apart we've had our ups...

How to Get Out of That Beauty Rut

Hello Beautiful Ones! As humans we are creatures of habit. It used to baffle me that even though most of my college classes had free seating plans (meaning you could sit wherever you wanted) my classmates and I would inevitably sit in the same seats every time. And if someone dared to sit in a different spot it threw everyone into a tissy (does anyone even say tissy anymore?! ). The point is, it's...

Monday Musings: The Significance of Dying My Hair

Hello Beautiful Ones! I think it was sometime around 7th grade when my naturally blonde and curly hair started fading to brunette. I was horrified. Honestly, it was like I was having some sort middle school mid-life crisis. I know that sounds pretty crazy, but it starts to seem a little less ludicrous when you look at the kinds of things that we all use to describe and define ourselves: our jobs,...

Beauty Products That Will Help You Hang On to Summer

Hello Beautiful Ones! Can we just talk for a minute about how it's already mid-August? Like, how did that happen?!

Last year around this time I wrote a post about some beauty products that will help you hang on to summer (you...

Dealing with Adult Acne

Hello Beautiful Ones! I will be the first to tell you that being an adult is pretty awesome (ok, not the bills), but there's something pretty great about being able to make your own choices and finding out that you actually are capable of taking care of yourself. Amazing right! You know what's not amazing though? When your acne prone face makes you feel more like 14 than 24. Today we're talking about...

Get That (Subtle) Glow!

Hello Beautiful Ones! We're officially approaching that deep part of summer where there becomes a fine line between looking 'glowy' and looking like you are about to melt into a pile of sweat (that's never happened to us right?). Trust me there are some summer days here in Nebraska where 'hot mess' isn't just a phrase, but an actual lifestyle. So how then do we get just that right amount of glow?!...

Urban Decay Naked Smoky is Here!

Hello Beautiful Ones! I don't know about you but whenever an exciting new palette lands in the beauty world I usually end up thinking to myself "you definitely don't need a new eyeshadow palette you lunatic," and then I inevitably buy said palette because I have no willpower (I think we've established that haven't we?). This week Urban Decay launched something I could just not pass up, the highly...

Stila Aqua Glow Perfecting Primer

Hello Beautiful Ones! We are definitely in the middle of summer, it's a sunny 91 degrees here in nebraska, and I couldn't be happier! There is something about summer heat that just makes me feel so weightless and happy, but you know what else the summer heat does? Melt off your makeup (ugh). This is of course unless you have a great makeup primer! So today I'm telling you about a new one: the Stila...

Tony Moly I'm Real Rice Face Mask for Clear Skin

Hello Beautiful Ones! I love trying out new beauty brands that I've never tried before, and Tony Moly is one that I've had my eyes on for a while now. Everything they have available at Sephora seems to disappear immediately. So is it worth the hype? Today I'm reviewing the I'm Real Rice Face Mask Sheet for Clear Skin.
