Key West Aloe & Giveaway

February 11, 2016

Product Sample

After our trip to Key West, Florida, I wrote a little travel guide from some of the places we visited and what we enjoyed. One of those things I mentioned was the bath and body products we used in our hotel. Yes, really. I’m one of those travelers. You know, the kind that pilfers the shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and body wash… if it’s good, anyway. Our hotel was smart, they had large reusable containers that I couldn’t swipe, but I figured I’d order from the company when I returned home.

Well, lucky for me, Key West Aloe found my post and sent me a fun goodie box of products. Unbeknownst to me, they also sell dog products made of aloe too. Rigby and I were more than excited to try out more of their aloe goodness and I want to share my thoughts with you today!

Valentine’s Day Makeup Tutorial

February 8, 2016

Sponsored Post: Today I’m partnering with Maybelline and Collective Bias to share my looks to love just in time for Valentine’s Day. All opinions are my own. :) #MNYLookstoLove #CollectiveBias

Since Valentine’s Day falls on Sunday this year, what better way to spend the day than going on a fun afternoon date with the special person in your life? I thought it would be fun to prepare ahead of time with a little day date appropriate makeup just in time for the big (or small, depending on how you feel about Valentine’s Day) holiday.

While we’re never ones to go over the top with celebrating, I’ll take any excuse to find a new outfit, don a fun makeup look, and enjoy my company on a fun new adventure. Regardless of what you have planned for the day, be it a Galentine’s Fete, a special night out, or just chilling at home, I’m pretty sure you can’t go wrong with a lovely blush toned eye and a red lip. So grab a couple of your Maybelline favorites like The Blushed Nudes Palette & the Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara and let’s get started!

When winter hits every year, my skin goes through an extreme change. It gets tight, dry, and flaky. Wearing foundation becomes that much more challenging. Finding a moisturizer and serum that can combat my dry patches is a nightmare. That’s why I was so excited to try out Susan Grace Skincare because it’s made for people like me who have dehydrated and dull skin!

Everyday Contour Tutorial

January 25, 2016

Contouring is a makeup trend that won’t quit. For a hot minute, it was all about the strobing, but I’m back to seeing contouring kits and new products related to the contour everywhere! For a long time, I was mystified by the concept of contouring. Sure, natural shadows and highlights of the face make sense, but creating them with makeup? Seemed like something only done in the movies!

Definitely not these days, and with the introduction of so many accessible contour kits, it’s easier than ever to give it a try. Maybelline recently introduced the Master Contour Palette and honestly it’s one of the best kits I’ve tried. The shades of all three products in the kit go really well with my cool-to-neutral fair skin tone and for the price, the color payoff can’t be beat. Today I want to share with you how easy it is to add contouring to your everyday routine, as well as a peek at the brand new Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation!

Everyday Contour Tutorial

First up, let’s dive into getting that skin looking prepped and polished. I used a daily moisturizer and then patted a little primer in my t-zone. I have some larger pores in this area that I like to make sure are all covered up.
