If I had to choose one drugstore makeup brand…heck…ANY makeup brand to buy for the rest of my life, I would choose Maybelline. I feel like they have a solid face game with their Fit Me and their Instant Age Rewind Foundation & Concealers. Their mascaras are great! Falsies and Illegal Lengths are both so good. They have amazing eyeshadow palettes and espeicially their Color Tattoo eyeshadows. (Bad to the Bronze = ALL TIME FAVORITE.) Their ColorShow nail polish is reasonably priced and actually really good!

Benefit Cosmetics is famous for their gorgeous, pinup-esque packaging and marketing, with one of their most iconic products being their boxed blushes.

And I love putting on some good jams and dancing around the house. I like watching TV while I prep food in my crockpot. I like going to the park with Lola and chasing her…

Recently, I am obsessed with English fashion and beauty. From the way that they dress over the top and on trend almost all the time, to the fact that they rock big hair and thick, dark liner with light lips…I can’t help but be totally consumed. My obsession began when I was younger, loving British brand Burberry. Of course, coming from a small family in Midwestern USA, I didn’t have the budget for Burberry (and still don’t,) but the colors and feel are something I carry throughout my wardrobe and incorporate into my style. My most fond memory in London during my travels in high school was AT the Burberry…
