Affordable Pastel Makeup For Spring

April 13, 2018

Affordable Pastel Makeup For Spring

Is spring ever going to get here?? It feels like we've been waiting on spring to come for weeks now (at least those of us in the midwest). I'm ready for sandal-wearing, windows down, porch-sitting, bright lipstick-wearing spring weather! Since the weather hasn't been on my side, I took to makeup to get me in the mood. What originally inspired me to do this post was Kathleen Lights' Youtube video talking about her spring nail polish collection which I've included in this roundup. The colors in this collection gave me all the springtime feels so I thought it would be fun to find pastel makeup inspired by these colors. How can you not get excited talking about affordable pastel makeup for ... read more

Ultra Violet Drugstore Beauty Picks

Ultra Violet Drugstore Beauty Picks

I'm sure by now you have heard about the color of the year. Ultra Violet is making a big and bold splash and ya know what...I'm here for it! For some it might be a bold color, and I'm a neutral gal through and through so it is for me too. But sometimes it's good to step out of your comfort zone. I will admit that I've dabbled into purple eyeshadows recently and was very pleasantly surprised at the end result. I have loved the looks way more than I thought I would. I think a bold pop here or there is fun and different every now and then so I've rounded up some affordable ultra violet drugstore beauty picks that you can easily incorporate for a trendy pop of color this year!

New Covergirl Launches & Rebrand

New Covergirl Launches & Rebrand

Well I have to admit...they got my attention! Covergirl has officially rebranded and just dropped over a dozen new products 😱 I hate to say it but Covergirl is one of those brands I tend to forget about at the drugstore. I usually walk right past their section not really giving the products much attention. I think it's because over the last few years, they really haven't come out with much of anything that's got me excited to try. In my opinion, this rebrand is a bold move and I'm happy to see so many new products added to their line. Let's jump into the details of these new Covergirl launches and rebrand! I quickly googled news about their rebrand which was announced last October. You ... read more

Affordable Lip Toppers Worth Trying

Glosses are back people....I repeat GLOSSES ARE BACK!! In case you haven't noticed, the beauty world likes to swing from one extreme to the other with trends. The ultra matte liquid lip look that became popular a few years ago now has birthed a new trend on the complete opposite spectrum...glossy lips! Actually this isn't a new trend by any means but more so a spotlight back on gloss and now bigger and better than before. Upon swinging back to this trend, lip toppers have now become part of the family and I'm going to dig into 5 affordable lip toppers worth trying! Lip toppers are basically lip glosses but usually more sheer. Think less pigment and color and more shine, sparkle and ... read more
