1. bareMinerals flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara: I first tried this when I worked at bareMinerals in college and I’ve loved it ever since. This one is gentle and doesn’t irritate if I’m going to be wearing my makeup for a super long day. It also doesn’t run at all. This is a dry formula, and I think it makes lashes look full and almost fluffy. I like to use it on my bottom lashes because I know it won’t run at all.
2. Dior Diorshow Mascara: This one smells like roses. Is there anything else you need to know? But seriously, this is a luxurious mascara. I think this one is marketed as a volumizing mascara, the formula is similar to the wet lengthening mascaras I’ve tried.
3. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara: This one gives you HUGE lashes. I picked it up during the 20% sale Sephora has back in March/April, and I’m already on my second tube. This is similar to the bareMinerals one, but the formula is a little more wet and it makes your lashes even bigger. This one is more prone to smearing than the bareMinerals one, so I don’t like to use it on my bottom lashes.
4. Younique 3D Fiber Lashes**: This one isn’t technically a mascara; it’s gel and fibers. This makes your lashes HUGE. I’ve tried it several ways since the lovely Amy gifted it to me to try: by itself, over primer, over primer and mascara. It looks almost just like false lashes. I like it best on just the tips overtop my regular primer and mascara. I like the big lashes look, so I’ve been wearing it every day since I got it. But, I could see saving this one just for special occasions. This one is only available through Younique representatives, so click here if you’d like to purchase.
5. Dior Diorshow Maximixer Lash Primer: Again, not technically a mascara, but this is one of my FAVORITE products. I’ve repurchased it several times and add it underneath my mascara every time.
Here’s a shot of me trying the Too Faced mascara for the first time, and a shot of one of my favorite YouTubers, MakeupbyTiffanyD using the Younique 3D lashes:

I keep seeing these green/khaki jackers and I think they look adorable. Do you like the long or short one better? (Both from HM, click through for links)
I can’t get enough rose-scented stuff. Here are a few more of my favorites:
Roses de Chloe: Fabulous. Love love love this scent. On my second bottle. I have the regular Chloe scent too and I like this one a lot better.
Dior Diorshow mascara: This is a really wet mascara that’s good for length
REN Moroccan Rose Otton Firming Creme Riche: makes your skin SO soft
Benefit Lollibalm: I’m a huge fan. This leaves the slightest pink tint and doesn’t feel greasy.
I saw these in a Banana Republic ad in Better Homes and Gardens magazine an I love them! The cut across the front of the toes is so perfect.
I looked for them online and found this navy shade which is super gorgeous but backordered until next year.
Look at this jacket!
Wouldn’t this be cute with an all black outfit?
I like to switch out the pillows and blankets on my white couch and chaise with the seasons. I just saw this throw on H&M’s site and think it would be perfect for fall/winter.
I bought this back in January when it first came out. When I posted it on instagram here, a lot of you asked for a review. I’ve had it for a while now, so I’ve been seeing how it works; I love it. I don’t always set my foundation with a powder. I usually just add this step if I know it’s going to be a long day. This doesn’t make my makeup look cakey, even if I reapply. This is easier and less messy than the loose powder version. I use this brush from Target (It’s a dupe for the MUFE one.)
I recently got a kitten, and she’s been joining me in some outfit pics.

1. bareMinerals READY Bronzer in Skinny Dip: I have this in High Dive and Skinny Dip. The lighter one (Skinny Dip,) is better for my skin tone to wear every day, and High Dive is better for special occasions.
2. bareMinerals All Over Face Color in Faux Tan: This is my favorite bronzer of all time. The pigmentation is awesome and it lasts the whole day. I stopped using it everyday because I don’t like the hassle of loose powders when I’m getting ready in the morning. Out of all of these, I’d say this one gives the best affect.
3. NARS Bronzer in Laguna: This one is a cult favorite. It’s similar to bareMinerals Skinny Dip shade and it’s pretty universal. Because this product is so popular, it comes a lot of fun sets like this one and this one.
4. Soleil Tan de Chanel: This is the only cream bronzer I’ve ever tried. You can apply it all over your face underneath your foundation or use it to contour.
5. Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder in Golden Light: I just picked this up but I can already tell I love it. I’ve been reaching for this everyday and carrying it with me. The packaging is perfect.
6. Too Faced Chocolate Soleil: This smells like chocolate!! The color is comparable to Laguna and Skinny Dip but it’s scent is a bonus.
