e.l.f. Hydrating Bubble Mask Review

Sunday, February 26, 2017



Hi guys, welcome back to my little blog!
Today I wanted to share this awesome face mask that I've been using lately.


I received this in an Influenster VoxBox a while ago, and I've been loving it. If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen me talk about it a few times there. This is the first skin care product that I've ever tried out from e.l.f.  I'm a fan of a lot of their makeup products so I was excited to see that they have skin care now. They are known for making affordable products that are still good quality. This mask is only $14 on their website which I think is a great price for how well this product works.

It's really simple to use, you apply a thin layer to your slightly damp skin and and it will start to bubble up like you can see in the pictures above. The mask will feel pretty tingly. After the bubbles start to become... less bubbly(?) {this will happen about 5-10 minutes after you put the mask on}, you rub in the rest into your skin and then rinse and gently dry your face. Follow with your moisturizer and you're done!

My skin feels so moisturized and so soft! It was feeling very dry due to the windy weather here, but now it feels softer than before. I forgot to include "after" photos so I guess you'll just have to take my word for it. It really does feel so much better.

If you're interested in buying this product you can do so here.


Have you used this product before, or any other of e.l.f.'s skin care products? Let me know in the comments down below!

Living Proof Restore Review

Saturday, February 25, 2017



First, I should mention that I received these hair products for testing purposes from Influenster and Living Proof. However, all opinions are 100% my own. 


Let's get to it...


You all should know that I love hair care products, I love trying new ones out and switching up my hair care routine (much like I do with skin care). I have heard great things about Living Proof and I was very excited to test these out. I have been using these products for about a week or so now and I really really love them! They have been making my hair so soft and shiny! I have also noticed a huge improvement with my flyaways. My hair seems much healthier, stronger, and moisturized. I am definitely going to be purchasing these products in the future! :)








{Not the best quality pictures, my apologies, but hopefully you can see how healthy and frizz free it looks!}




Thank you so much Living Proof and Influenster for picking me to be apart of this campaign!




What are some of your favorite hair care products?

February ipsy Glam Bag Review

Thursday, February 16, 2017









Hi guys! It's time to review my February ipsy bag for you!

{If you haven't joined ipsy yet I highly recommend that you do! Feel free to use my referral link!}


Okay, so let's start...


Products that I got in my bag: 






Biobelle #StayGorgeous and #Iwokeuplikethis Sheet Masks.  I used the #StayGorgeous sheet mask last night. My skin was feeling very dry from being outside in the wind the day before. This mask made my skin feel very moisturized after and super soft! I can't wait to use the other one!
- NYX Professional Makeup Butter Lipstick.  I received the shade Lifeguard. This lip color is so creamy and moisturizing! The shade is also really pretty.
- BelláPierre Cosmetics Volumelash Waterproof Mascara. This is such an awesome mascara! It gave my lashes a lot of volume and it stayed on all day long. It also didn't bother my very sensitive eyes.
- Luxie Beauty Rose Gold Blush Brush 514. This brush is so so soft and applies your blush very nicely and evenly! Luxie makes amazing makeup brushes, the quality is A+.
- Hikari Cosmetics Cream Pigment Eyeshadow. This is in the shade Latte, it's a beautiful metallic copper color. It's shimmery and the perfect eyeshadow color for me. I just love shades like this! The formula is really creamy and goes on so easily. You also won't have any issues with fallout from this product.
Lisa Hoffman Jade Quartz Fragrance Bracelet. I redeemed some of my points and got this pretty bracelet. I thought that this would be pretty cool to try out. You put the fragrance beads in the little ball charm and then the fragrance is slowly released. The fragrance beads are supposed to last a few weeks and then you refill it. I received the French Clary Sage Fragrance Beads. They smell so lovely and crisp.





My overall thoughts: 


I really enjoyed the contents in this month's bag. I was really happy to be getting more sheet masks this month. I feel like the bag itself wasn't very creative this month. However, I can overlook that because I really loved all of the products that I got!!

Valentine's Day

Wednesday, February 15, 2017


Hello everyone! I hope that you all had a lovely Valentine's Day yesterday.
I wanted to share some photos with you from my day yesterday. :)




My breakfast. We went to this little diner that we live near and I had to get French toast and coffee. It was very good!






 Next we headed to town to do some shopping! 
















My favorite person and I. 




























A chili cheese dog and fries for dinner.




Funnel cake fries.








We ended the night with a movie, of course.






And last, some photos and some candies I picked up from the cute little Scandinavian store.




Thank you for dropping by!
