Tips and Tricks: DON'T THROW OUT YOUR MASCARA WANDS

Seriously, don't. Your empty mascara wands can help out in a big way! See how you can help out animals in need.


Shoutout to Twitter for showing me this honestly. Back in March of 2017, a Facebook page named "Love What Matters" posted about why we shouldn't throw out our old mascara wands, but instead donate them! This is amazing program is genius and who doesn't love to help out animals?

Appalachian Wildlife Refuge started a program called Wands for Wildlife that helps local wildlife get cleaned up. Essentially you can take old mascara tubes that have expired, gone dry, or have completely run out of, clean them up, and send them to the address they’ve provided. The benefits of getting the wands clean is for the Appalachian Wildlife Refuge to clean larvae and eggs out of animal’s fur.

The video of the little ducky getting brushed with the mascara wand is so CUTE, it makes me want to cry, but like happy tears.


The people at Appalachian Wildlife Refuge really do amazing things for the local wildlife and really would appreciate your help. It's as simple as donating clean mascara wands, donating items from their Wishlist, to making a donation.

If you are willing to make a donation of clean mascara wands or an item off their Wishlist, please make sure you ship it to the following address:
P.O. Box 1211
Skyland, NC, 28776

If you made a donation after reading this blog post, I'd love to hear from you! I love animals and I love makeup and mashing the two worlds together is amazing. I will definitely be donating when I get done with my mascaras!

Sephora vs Ulta: Which Do I Prefer?

Read about my input as to which I prefer and why! Chances are, if you live by a Sephora, you live by an Ulta.  The two stores are quite similar when it comes down to what they offer: a wide option of makeup brands that vary in price to tailor to your needs. However, if you've been in both store before, you notice the obvious differences. LOCATION Starting off with location, Sephora's are typically in a mall (or at least every one I've been in is) and it's lethal to my bank account. My Sephora is located right across from the Starbucks and the Chick-fil-a in the center of the mall and it stares at me every time I walk by, and of course I walk in. There's only one Sephora in the Oklahoma City Metro, making it very crowded. I try to avoid the magnetic pull of Sephora when it's the weekend because my feet are always getting stepped on by people or getting rolled over by a baby stroller. It's inconvenient in my opinion and bothers me during my shoppin...

My Thoughts: Sephora x Moschino Collab

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...

My Holy Grails

Hear my thoughts on my all time favorite products and why! Today I'll be discussing my holy grail makeup products. I do not have a full face of holy grails but I will come out with a full face in future time. I am so excited to share these with you and if you purchase any of these from my suggestions, let me know! Now let's get into it TARTE SHAPE TAPE CONCEALER I was on the hunt for a good brightening and full coverage concealer after the Too Faced concealer in "fair" wasn't cutting it for me. I finally treated myself to this after months of drooling over it. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. I do 3 dots in a triangular shape and blend with a beauty blender. It's so brightening and conceals my troubled dark circles. It is exclusive to Ulta , but can be found on Tarte's website if you are wanting to purchase it! IT COSMETICS BYE BYE PORES PRESSED POWDER I live, swear, and die by this powder. I bought mine off of QVC at the time, and ...
