Hear my thoughts on the Sephora x Moschino launch and collaboration. I'll be going in full depth about the whole collection! In this post, I will be talking about my thoughts on the Sephora x Moschino collection that just recently launched. Sephora used the Moschino Bear, that was introduced in 2014 by designer Jeremy Scott (I believe), as inspiration for this 7 item collection that is to die for. If you are not familiar with the designer brand, the Moschino Bear is essentially the brand's image and is all over their clothes and accessories. The pop culture brand joined forces with one of the world's largest makeup company for the collaboration of the year! Hear my in depth thoughts about the whole collection and let's dive right in! PACKAGING  You have to admit, even if you're not a packaging fanatic (like me), this is the CUTEST packaging ever. Out of all the things in the collection, I love the mini lip gloss set with the necklace. Jeffree Star...

I'll be discussing my tips and trick on how to shop smart and savvy at Ulta, while saving some money! Whether you're a newbie or an expert shopping at Ulta, some of you guys might be missing out on how to get the most bang for your buck! I've previously talked about the Ulta rewards system and how  I prefer  it over Sephora's. That'll be a key aspect in your savvy money saving adventures at Ulta. With that in mind, let's get into it!  TIP #1: SIGN UP FOR ULTAMATE REWARDS This will be your LIFE SAVER and your bank's bff!

Once you've spent $450 USD, you become a platinum member, which I have successfully accompli...

Anyone looking into or wanting to purchase anything from Tarte, here's your guide of my all time favorite products from Tarte Cosmetics I'll be discussing my favorite products from one of my all time favorite makeup brands! In my opinion, I think Tarte is a great beginners brand for those ready to step into the real world of makeup. Obviously, not every product from Tarte is the greatest but this is your guide to avoid getting the wrong product for you! TARTELETTE IN BLOOM EYESHADOW PALETTE Sturdy Wonderful Vanilla Scent Creamy Pigmented Best Palette for Beginners Little fallout The Tartelette in Bloom was one of my first "big girl palettes" that really  got me into makeup.

I'll be discussing what I think about makeup reviews within the beauty community and my advice for product research! Makeup is truly a wonderful thing because one product doesn't work out well for one person but is another person's "holy grail" product. Once that person has a response to a product, some will review them (like me) to an audience on social media on whether it was good or not.  People do this to create a rating balance for a product because real people  want to know if a product is worth it or not. What I mean by "rating balance" is the ability to review every feature of a product from poor to exceptional fairly and getting an average star rating of it. People want to know if the quality is good, if the pigmentation is there, if it's travel friendly, so on and so forth.  My current makeup collection. I've researched numerous of reviews before purchasing the products I've bought! I think for some time, a lot of p...
