Change is coming

I know, I know.. I keep saying that "I'm back"..but I am this time. After journalism school, I fell into a loop of job after job, but never felt fulfilled, like I felt when I was writing constantly and updating my blog regularly. So here I am.

In case you forgot:

I'm Erin
I'm ALMOST 27 (OMG!) 


Here you will find anything and everything. Makeup (my first love), cooking, cleaning, organizing, and anything else my little ADHD heart desires.

I hope you'll stick around!

Love,
Erin

Beauty Wish list

Hi Y'all,

It's been quite a bit of time since I bought any beauty products, but I've still been watching beauty videos and ready blogs. While doing this, I've started writing things down on my "beauty wishlist". Here are a few of the top products that I cannot wait to try.

Brazilliant Lush Shampoo bar: Apparently shampoo bars are all the rage. I've heard tons of amazing things about the Lush shampoo bars in particular. The Brazilliant bar was the one that really caught my eye because it claims to help manage unruly curly hair. (which I have!) [$9.95]

Urban Decay Sheer Revolution Lipstick: Sheer Rapture: Confession time.. I've only ever tried one Urban Decay lip product. It was way back when I first got into makeup and all I remember is that 1. There was a guy in his underwear on the lip gloss packaging, and 2. it smelled like really nasty popcorn. It kind of made me nauseous and that turned me off of lipgloss for quite a while. Anyways, these sheer lipsticks look so gorgeous that it makes me want to give Urban Decay lip products another chance. The color Sheer Rapture is described as a dusty rose color, and I cannot wait to try it. [$22]

 The Body Shop Vineyard Peach Body Spray: I love peach anything. and I mean ANYTHING. I just know that I would love this body spray. I think that it would be perfect for summer! [$7.50]


Too Faced Boudoir Palette: I really love eyeshadow palettes, but I don't remember ever trying Too Faced shadows. I saw a video where LisaLisaD1 raved over this palette, and it looked gorgeous on her. Perfect for everyday eye looks! [$36.00]


Well that's what is on my list right now.. What products are on your wish list?


Love,
Erin

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel

Hi Y'all,

 

 

I'm back..  For real this time! I have time now, which is amazing because now I actually have time to write!

 

I saw the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polish while watching The Schuerman Show, which is my favorite vlog on youtube. The gorgeous Sam, tried a color and it seemed to hold up so well while still looking lovely! I knew that I had to try it.

 

I picked up the color Pinky Promise, along with the top coat. They are kind of pricey for drugstore polishes but if you think about it, they are cheaper than getting a gel manicure at a nail salon. (They retail for about $7.99 each at Walmart)

 

How gorgeous is the Pinky Promise shade? I chose this shade because it seemed the most wearable for everyday. I wanted it to be work appropriate.

I know it is a very natural color, but I think it is perfect for everyday!

 

So far, I am on day four of my manicure. Guess what? There is absolutely ZERO chipping!! Seriously, that is unheard of with me.. I tend to be really rough on manicures. The Sally Hansen brand claims that you can get up to 14 days of a non-chipped manicure.. do I really think my manicure will make it two weeks without chipping? Not really, but who knows! I'll definitely keep y'all updated on how long it lasts! Right now though, I'm really impressed, and plan on stocking up on other colors!

 

 

What do you guys think? Have you tried it? Did you love it? What colors should I pick up next?

 

 

 

Talk soon!!

Winter wonderland

My first snow day in college. I'm still doing homework of course, but today I get to work from my recliner. 

How beautiful is the snow? (There is ice of course under it - making it dangerous!)

Glossybox Limited Edition Gold box! // Thanks SISTER

Hi beauties,

It has been a while.. forgive me?

I'm back at it! Back to blogging which is so much fun for me, and a lot cheaper than therapy.. can I get an amen?! What is more relaxing than talking about beauty products? Exactly... there is NOTHING more relaxing!

Okay, so:

For Christmas, my sister got me a year's subscription to Glossybox, which made me literally the happiest girl on the planet!! It's like Christmas rolls around once a month, instead of once a year! :)

Since she ordered me the one year subscription instead of going month to month, she was able to snag me the super luxurious [Limited Edition] Gold Glossybox! EEEEK!

How beautiful is the packaging? :)

 Now to the goodies inside:

 

Kora Organics by Miranda Kerr Clay Purifying Mask: I was BEYOND excited to see this in my Glossybox! I have been wanting to try the Kora Organics line since it first came onto the market quite a while ago! I haven't tried it yet, but will report back soon!

Butter London Nail Varnish- Henley Regatta: This color reminds me of Mermaids! I cannot wait for my next mani/pedi, because I plan on getting my nails AND toes done in this color!

Philip B. Chai Latte Soul & Body Wash: This smells exactly like my beloved Starbucks Chai tea latte, and I cannot wait to lather myself in it!

Nuxe Fondant Body Scrub: I have heard wonderful things about the entire Nuxe body care line from all of the British beauty blogs that I read, so I'm super excited about trying this out! :)

beautyAddicts- lip Addiction lip gloss in "St. Tropez": I love toffee lip colors, and think glosses with brown undertones compliment my skin, so clearly St. Tropez is right up my alley! It is a thick but not too sticky lipgloss that has some definite substance to it, so it stays put on your lips! I'm loving this gloss at the moment.

Bodyography lip pencil "Crimson": A gorgeous true blue based red! Perfect for wearing under my favorite MAC lipstick Viva Glam Cyndi!  

There you have it! The contents of my LE Gold Glossybox I'm thinking of doing a monthly US Glossybox post! YAY!

Talk soon & Lots of love.

XOX,
E
