April Sunshine OOTD
Hello lovelies!! It’s finally getting warmer here! There’s a French saying that goes: “Au mois d’avril, ne te dΓ©couvre pas d’un fil” which means “In April, do not remove a single thread”.

Hi lovelies! Happy Sunday! Spring is still a full month away, but this weekend has been super sunny and the mountains of snow are beginning to melt.

Julep Orbital Eyeshadow in Zenith
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…
