    Review: YSL Babydoll Mascara

    YSL Babydoll Mascara   The thing I love the most about this mascara is the smell. I know that sounds crazy, but I can’t be the only one who smells all the makeup she picks up! Anyway, this one has a light, almost floral/sweet scent to it…I like it a lot. Other than that, I love this wand. It’s similar to the Chanel Le Volume De Chanel mascara and the They’re Real by Benefit mascara. It really covers all the lashes, lifts the eyelashes upward and seperates. This mascara adds volume, length, and definition. I actually got a small sample while as Saks, used it ALL UP and then waited…

    Elixir ColorSensational by Maybelline

    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! I have found that their Color Whispers and Vivids have done a great job as far as their lipsticks have gone, but all they were…

    Rockateur Blush by Benefit Cosmetics

    Benefit Cosmetics is famous for their gorgeous, pinup-esque packaging and marketing, with one of their most iconic products being their boxed blushes. I had never been compelled to buy a full sized one because I just felt like there were other blushes that would be more worth my money, even if it weren’t true. I did buy the Coral My World set that includes a mini Coralista blush and a mini Sun Beam. I mean, you guys know how I feel about mini products! Rockateur changed my mind, finally. It’s a pretty, luminous sandy pink/peachy color. It looks sparkly in the box, but it doesn’t show up on the skin…

    British Inspired Plus Size Outfit

    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…
