    Lorac Skinny Palette- Nude

    Like I don’t have enough neutral eyeshadow palettes, right? I know a billion other girls can relate. Between all 3 Naked palettes by Urban Decay, my customized MAC palette, Lorac Pro and my Maybelline The Nudes palette…I’ve got it pretty covered. So now, someone tell me WHY I can’t resist buying more!!! I may never know why, but I do know that it keeps happening. Just a few weeks ago, I decided to stroll on in to the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. I didn’t have the intention of buying this palette even though I knew it would be available. It didn’t stand out to me when I saw it online, but when…

My Urban Decay Naked Flushed palette is a bronzer, highlight and blusher all…

So I got a few other brands in the mean time, but when the Sephora VIB Sale came around this year, I decided to go for it! The colors are swatched in the order of the palette. A…

    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…
