I’ve subscribed to Ipsy for a while now. Probably a couple years or so. I always intend to blog my monthly Ipsy bag, but then I’m sort of “meh” about it when it arrives. I have to stop looking at the preview! I decided that’s part of the problem – I already know what’s in there, so I’m not enthused when it arrives.

There are a lot of products and items that come across my desk. A lot of them are actually really great items, and those are the ones I post about the most.

Today, I’m swatching the IT Palette – Color Spectrum from Sephora. I’ve had this palette for a while, as I bought it last summer when it was on sale at my local store. As of this post, it’s still available on the Sephora site. I have a problem. It’s a problem that I’m sure many of you have as well. I buy makeup, then never seem to do anything with it. Perhaps it’s that I get something that I’m ...
Oh winter. It seems that you’ve teased us with your unseasonably warm days (75 degrees in February? I’ll take it!) only to come roaring back with fury (5-10 inches of snow? NO PLEASE). With this wishy washy weather, we need a moisturizer like this Coconut whipped body butter recipe that’s going to really nurture our skin. I love a whipped body butter, as it’s super light weight and fluffy ...
What is there to say about 50 Shades of Grey? The book series has sold 100 million copies. The movie is opening this weekend, and tickets are sold out everywhere. People are taking sides whether the movie & books are consensual or abuse. 50 Shades of Grey is a hot topic! Check out these cocktails inspired by 50 Shades of Grey. ...
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and I am a sucker for a seasonal nail polish release.
