Its been about 3 months since I last posted on my blog, so I thought I should update you on whats been going on in my life. At the end of September, I got a new job with Benefit Cosmetics as an Arch Expert. I absolutely love it, and its such a fun job! I worked both my old job with Estee Lauder and my new job 7 days a week through October. The money was great however, I didn't have any time for myself. In November I took two weeks off to travel to Colombia and Peru. It was such a great experience, and I enjoyed every second of it. When I came back home I quit my job with Estee Lauder because it wasn't needed as I am full time with Benefit.         Also, Vince and I are moving into a house!! The house needs a lot of work so Vince and I have been spending every day working...

MAC x Nicki Minaj

        MAC Cosmetics just announced their upcoming collab with Nicki Minaj. I've never been more excited for a collection to launch! When I think of Nicki Minaj, I think of very vibrant and bright colors. She has always been so over the top with her style, and especially her makeup. I was surprised to learn that the lipsticks from her collection are all nudes, and they're actually quite amazing. There is a nude for every skin shade, even some pink toned nudes that I am definitely interested in purchasing. This collection will contain:         20 nude lipsticks:                 11 limited edition                 4 past collections shades                 5 permanent shades  ...

HOW TO GET OVER A COLD & CONQUER THE WORLD!

      Current Situation: Sitting in a hotel room on vacation sick with the WORST cold ever!         Ok, that might sound a bit dramatic, but lets face it, we all deserve to be a bit dramatic when were not feeling well. So here's my tips for you on how to feel better instantly and still go on with your life when you feel like shit.         1. Take a warm shower. It really opens up your sinuses and allows you to feel fresh even when you feel like a giant walking germ.         2. Vitamins & medicine. I know some people don't like to put medicine in their body when they're sick, and I am one of those people. But the truth is, if you feel absolutely horrible then you need medicine to make you feel better. I also like to take Airborne or vitamin C to pump...

WISHLIST WEDNESDAY | LOUIS VUITTON

         I'm clearly obsessed with designers I can't afford. I just have a strong appreciation for fine designer goods and quality items that stay in fashion through the years. One of my favorite designer brands is Louis Vuitton. Only within the last year and a half was I able to purchase my first Luxury, high-end designer bag. I purchased the Speedy Bandouliere 30 which I totally love and one of my first Youtube videos was a "Whats in my Purse," video with it. Since then my love for Louis Vuitton has blossomed. Here is a current wishlist on items I would love to purchase from Louis Vuitton, however most of the items will probably just stay wishes.               The first item on the list is the Fleur De Monogram Bag Charm Chain. I think this is such a beautiful accessory...

WISHLIST WEDNESDAY | SEPHORA

        It's been a while since I shopped at Sephora and I honestly love that store they have so many brands, so many fun items, and let's be honest you can get carried away very easily in that store. There's a few items that I want to re-purchase and a few items I would like to try out for the first time.          So the first item is the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, this will definitely be a re-purchase. I love this item. This is the best mascara I've ever tried in my life and I've tried so many of them. It gives you volume, length, and makes your lashes look so thick. Next is the Givenchy Le Rouge Perfecto Beautifying Lip Balm, I'm totally into lip balms right now and I love designer items so it would be cool to get a Givenchy lip color and try it out.  The...
