Hi lovelies! Today I’m sharing my thoughts on the Julep Orbital eyeshadow in Zenith. It’s a gorgeous cooper brown packed with gold glitter flecks. The packaging is very chic. I love that it has a built-in mirror! To obtain maximum impact, I find it’s best to apply Zenith by gently tapping it on my eyelid with a brush, while…

Essence Get Big! Lashes Triple Black Mascara
Hello lovely readers! I’m excited to be writing my first post of 2017! I recently picked up a tube of Essence Get Big! Lashes Triple Black mascara (because I didn’t feel like splurging on L’Oreal).

Happy New Year 2017!
Hi friends! I wanted to take the time to wish you all a very happy and blessed New Year 2017. I like to look back on everything I’ve accomplished in the past year before the New Year begins. In 2016, I accomplished my goal of getting a new job and purchasing a house with Simon. I also lost a bit…
NOTD: Mercedes by Julep
Hi friends! I hope you are all having a relaxing holiday season! I received “Mercedes” by Julep as a Christmas gift from my sister, and since I haven’t painted my nails in so long, I was eager to try it.

While…

We had a really great time!…
