I've mentioned this once or twice, but I work from home. Sometimes it's really boring and impossible to concentrate. Today is one of those days, so I played with some makeup. What's on my face: Eye primer: MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly Eye shadow: Anastasia Beverly Hills x Jackie Aina palette - a... Continue Reading →
New beauty subscription: Kinder Beauty Box
Months ago I heard that my lady crush Evanna Lynch, i.e. Luna Lovegood, would be releasing her own vegan, cruelty-free beauty subscription box, and I was SO EXCITED that the minute it was available for pre-order I bought it without thinking twice. The first box arrived a week or so ago, and I thought I'd... Continue Reading →
MOTD: Procrastination edition
I don't wanna work, I just wanna sleep in my bed all day... I know that's not how the song goes, but that's what's in my heart so I'm going to sing it that way. Because today is the Mondayest of Tuesdays and I had a bunch of dumb meetings that required being on camera,... Continue Reading →
Allure Beauty Box: August 2018
It's been a long time since I did any kind of unboxing here; it's not an unboxing blog, but when I get something new I like to share it. And for some unknown reason, this month I decided to sign up for the Allure Beauty Box. I don't read Allure. I haven't read "beauty" magazines... Continue Reading →
Birthday MOTD
So, it's my birthday. I'm 36 today. I feel old af while simultaneously feeling like I can't possibly be over 30. I'm not feeling too great and didn't have anything planned today, but I decided to put on makeup. Not a full face, but enough to make me feel more like a human. La Roche... Continue Reading →
First impression: Vivo Per Lei Facial Peeling Gel
It's not often that I buy skincare from brands I've never heard of, especially from Amazon. I'm wary of doing it, as you can imagine. This product was recommended to me by a friend/coworker, by way of his wife. I honestly love getting recommendations for cheap things so I grabbed it. Because I'm in rural... Continue Reading →
First impression: bareMinerals Made-2-Fit Liquid Foundation
This is a cool concept and a good foundation, but I'm super disappointed. So, this came from my first Virtual VoxBox from Influenster. If you're not familiar with Virtual VoxBoxes (I sure wasn't), it's an additional campaign that you can participate it right away. With this one, Influenster sent a promo code, and the first...

First impression: Olay Regenerist Whip moisturizer
Like I mentioned yesterday, I received some foil packet samples of the new Olay Regenerist Whip moisturizer in the Target VoxBox from Influenster. I have to admit something to you, and since we're friends I know you won't judge me for it: I haven't used a drugstore moisturizer since middle school. I know how bougie... Continue Reading →
I got a present…
Look, it's a video!
First impression: Fresh Umbrian Clay Purifying Mask
I'm back! Did you miss me? I've been having major issues with my skin lately. I attribute it to holiday stress, not eating right because of the aforementioned holidays (but really, who doesn't mainline desserts at Christmas?!), and general laziness when it comes to my skincare. I've also been trying some new stuff that I... Continue Reading →
First impressions: Hokkuu Green Tea Volcanic Mud Facial Mask
I may not have mentioned this to you all before, but I am cheap. I mean, as cheap as you can be when you're also addicted to expensive things. So when I saw an ad on Facebook or Instagram (I honestly don't remember which) for this FREE MASK, I had to click on it. Sure,... Continue Reading →
