October 2019 Empties

This season just seems to be flying by, and I’ve realized that half the month has gone by and I’m still behind on posting last month’s empties. Instead of letting everything pile up and waiting to combine last month and this month’s empties, I figured I would just post now and then wait to the … Continue reading October 2019 Empties →

July 2019 Empties

July seems to have flown by and here we are with another round of empties. I also keep noticing that I have a pretty big batch of empties recently, although that is easily displaced by the fact that I’ve been receiving and trying a lot of new products lately. Still, it feels nice to clear … Continue reading July 2019 Empties →

I brought fairly minimal makeup (for me) for this trip, but I wanted products that would reliably make a subtle polished to glam look every day. My picks this time were @westmanatelier foundation stick @saintcosmetics concealer @ctilburymakeup instant look in a palette from the holiday collection and the color chameleon in amber haze @tomfordbeauty golden mink @yslbeauty slim matte lipstick in nude antonym @elizabethandjames nirvana black perfume . What do you always bring when you travel?

Cool neutrals....how original 😂😂 this hot what I packed but these are products I'm reaching for! . The @yslbeauty slim matte lipstick in nude antonym has been on my list for awhile but hearing about how good it was on @fullcoveragepod pushed me over the edge to actually buy it. And it really is so good! I love the soft matte formula that lasts without feeling dry, and the shade is juuuust my kind of pinky nude. . I can easily work a whole loon around it, including @lxmiofficial goddess glow (as always) @tomfordbeauty nude dip @narsissist douceur @lauramercier bronzer @welovecoco /@welovecoco water fresh tint . If you've tried the slim matte formula, let me know! Also, what are everyone's weekend plans? I'll be eating my way through the city, as usual 🤤

Coming at you from another flight to my second trip of the month to Vancouver to see my best friend! This is just some products in really loving, including the @lxmiofficial goddess glow @westmanatelier petal blush stick (yes this IS that good) @ctilburymakeup pillow talk lip lustre @lelabofragrances jasmine oil @apothekeco tobacco blossom candle which is an amazing sweet smoky scent. . What are some new products you're liking lately?

Different products, same neutrals 😂 my looks might look the same to normal people but I swear that theres a slight texture or tone difference every day. . I'm reaching for the @maccosmetics foundation, which I used to write off as nothing spectacular. I'm finding these days that's exactly why I like it. It's a light-medium coverage, easy to blend, and overall easy to wear foundation. It's not quite as skin like as my favorite face and body, but it offers a bit more coverage and it isn't fussy. It's a great everyday foundation. . Does anyone still use @cargocosmetics? I have so many of their blushes and the shade Tonga is basically a classic pink neutral. I'm also still reaching for the @narsissist fort de France highlighter regularly for a natural highlighter. . I received this gorgeous shimmery @pixibeauty palette and it's the usual creamy blendable quality that I like about Pixi shadows. . Finally, @chanel.beauty @welovecoco mademoiselle is just a classic neutral. . Who else has 100 versions of the same shades? 🙋🏻‍♀️

I'm very very behind on my empties but I finally have a big roundup of products I finished from November and some of December. Head over to the blog to read some more thoughts, but some highlights were: ✅@sundayriley good genes ✅@madhippieskinproducts vitamin c serum ✅@benefit 24 hour brow setter ✅@yslbeauty glossy stain #9 ✅@clarinsusa moisture rich body cream ✅@naturabisse maracuja shower oil ➖@traderjoes coconut body butter ➖@maybelline total temptations waterproof mascara ➖@acurebeauty blue tansy oil . See anything in here you've used?

There's nothing like being awake all night coughing AND having heartburn 🙃 just when I think I'm back to normal my body decides to betray me again. . It's been awhile since I've done #texturetuesday so here's a little shot of some champagne and golden shadows. I got the @marcjacobsbeauty liquid liner in blitz coin during the @netaporter after Christmas sale. It's a deep bronze that I love in liquid form. I used to do bronze liquid liner all the time but my favorites were all discontinued havent found the perfect shade and formula till now. So stoked to have this shade back in my collection! . Do I even need to say anything about the @hourglasscosmetics scattered light shadows and @kosascosmetics 10 second shadows? They're gorgeous...and gorgeous paired with each other. . Now back to hiding under the covers on my couch with lots of tea and cough drops 🍵🍵
