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

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.

What's In My Bag {Currently}

Saturday, February 04, 2017



Hi there! Welcome back to my blog! I'm sorry that I didn't post much last month. :(
I have some posts planned for this month that I hope you'll enjoy. Today I thought that I'd share with you what's in my bag.


Let's get started...






As you can see I have mostly makeup items in my purse {not all that surprising}. I like to carry around the makeup products that I am currently using for touch-ups that might be needed while I'm out and about. I also carry some hair ties, bobby pins, and a bow hair clip {because why not?}. And last but not least - lip balm. I have lots of lip balms. The two that are pictured above are the ones that I'm currently using most often.

The products:

- Blush by ModelCo Cosmetics. If you read my last post you saw that I received this in my January ipsy bag. I've been using this lately and I really like it. It's a really beautiful shade {Peach Bellini}
and it goes on so easily.  
- A small travel size blush brush from EcoTools. This came in a set with other travel size brushes. I like it because it's small and I can just pop it in my bag and go. The bristles are also very soft and it applies my blush nicely. 
- A lip gloss from Anastasia Beverly Hills. I've talked about this before on here. This is in the shade Metallic Rose. I love putting this on top of a pink lipstick. It adds some sparkle and shimmer to my makeup look. It also has a pretty scent to it and doesn't feel sticky on your lips.
Manna Kadar Cosmetics 3-in-1 eyeshadow. I also got this in my ipsy bag last month. I've been using it both as a highlighter and an eyeshadow. It's a lovely shade and has a beautiful glow to it. 
Burt's Bees Vanilla Bean Lip Balm. This is an all time favorite of mine. It really helps moisturize your lips. And I enjoy the light vanilla scent.
- Purlisse Daily Lip Nourisher. I received this in a previous ipsy bag a few months ago. It has mango and shea butter in it. It really helps keep your lips looking and feeling healthy. If you have dry or cracked lips this will for sure help heal and repair your lips. You can also put it on before you apply your lipstick and it will help boost the color.
- Now for the hair things. It's always a good idea to keep some hair ties and clips in your bag. The hair ties and bobby pins pictured are from the brand Goody, the bow clip is from Forever21
- Purse is from Lulu Guinness.
* Not pictured is a comb and a pocket mirror. I always carry those in my purse as well.
