<div>
<br /></div>
I think it's safe to say that my absence has gone unnoticed. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And that's okay. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I always found that this blog was my piece of the internet, where I could share my life online and explore new ways to be creative. I knew that when I went to school, I would have to leave a few things behind. This blog turned out to be one of them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also shut a lot out when I went back to DC for my second year, and found myself missing the simplicity of life back home. Naturally, I also missed this blog. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am not a writer, but blogging became an exercise and a challenge, and I looked forward to continually challenging myself without the pressures of academia. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, long story short, I'm back. I don't know for how long, or in what capacity, or how often, but I thought I would just say that I want this space to represent the person I am now, and the things I believe. I'll be challenging myself to write about important topics that I am passionate about; this might be makeup, but my time at university forced me to reexamine the superficial, and this self-reflection became one of the main reasons why I stopped blogging. I'll be analyzing and talking about big picture issues, and hopefully this will be another exercise in creativity. I look forward to the challenge, and I look forward to the future. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For those who did not notice I was gone, hi. I came to the conclusion a long time ago that the purpose of this blog was not for recognition, but nevertheless your presence is appreciated. And, if you somehow did notice my disappearance from the internet, </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
hello. again. </div>

<span style="color: #666666;">Hello there!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CJXYRaG-67I/WAp6Bm0Bn0I/AAAAAAAAFhA/AkV5hiS0fPIRTLgh_8o2yuQQNu_msVFcQCLcB/s1600/collegeworkoutroutine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #666666;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CJXYRaG-67I/WAp6Bm0Bn0I/AAAAAAAAFhA/AkV5hiS0fPIRTLgh_8o2yuQQNu_msVFcQCLcB/s640/collegeworkoutroutine.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: center; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #535353; font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #535353; font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Being healthy is hard in college.
There, I said it. No one really talks about exercise during college; when
people talk about being healthy, they usually mean how not to gain weight, and
for that they recommend not drinking too much and not eating too many oreos.
But being healthy is more than that. It’s about exercising, working hard, and
being mentally healthy too. For many college kids, the problem lies in finding
the time to go to class, do work, go to an internship, have a social life, <i>and</i>
exercise, and trust me, the balance is not easy. But I think I have found a
method that helps even the busiest of students stay on track and continue a
healthy lifestyle. During my freshman year, I dreaded going to the gym, because
it seemed like a punishment for all the garbage I had been eating over the last
week. But changing your mindset, and therefore your attitude, towards working
out can change your entire workout routine altogether. Everyone comes back from
summer vacation looking fit and tan, but once the tan fades we all seem to
forget the healthy regimens we were so good at maintaining during the summer.
So I thought I would focus on exercise tips today, and share some fitness ideas
that make being healthy in college exceptionally less challenging. </span><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #535353; font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Set realistic goals // Start by thinking about how you want
working out to change your life. Do you want to gain muscle, lose weight, or
just be healthy and happy? Exercising can do so much for so many people, so
decide what you want it to do for you. If you have been working out over the
summer, and you felt fit and fantastic, maybe setting some goals will just help
you maintain what you accomplished over the summer. But what I always remind
anyone who wants to go to the gym is that it’s a journey; think of it as a
marathon, not a sprint. I can guarantee that you will not see extreme results
in one week or even one month. It has taken a lot of time for me to notice
serious changes, both in my body and my health. So set goals that reflect the notion
that this will take time; for me, I wanted to look and feel a certain way, but
I never really cared about the number on the scale. Think about how you want to
feel, or how much weight you want to lift. Do you want to be able to run a
seven minute mile, or deadlift 150 pounds? Think about what goals you can set
that can be clear and simple. Planning to lose fifteen pounds can seem clear
and simple, but in reality it is so difficult, and not reaching your goal
weight is more discouraging than encouraging; in the end, you’ll just feel
deflated. Your goals should motivate you, so set them with you and your body in
mind. </span><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #535353; font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Make a plan, make a schedule // Once you’ve set a few goals for
yourself, you need to decide exactly how you want make this happen. Exercising
consistently starts with making a schedule. Sit down on a Sunday night, and
make a plan of action for the week. How many days do you want to work out? How
much time do you have to spend in the gym? Is there an area of your body that
you want to dedicate your workouts to? Do you want to do cardio, strength
training, or a combination? Answering these questions will help you narrow down
your plans, and will help you customize a workout that is right for you. That
way, when you go looking online for workout tips and ideas for exercises, you
can focus on finding exercises that fit your needs. </span><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #535353; font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Next, make a schedule. This is really what changed working out
for me, because it made me commit time out of my day to working out. I no
longer had the classic excuse “I’ll go tomorrow,” because it was on my calendar
that I had set time aside for a workout, and therefore I <i>needed</i> to go
today. But like I said about goals, be realistic. If you have a full schedule
and little time to dedicate to going to the gym, start your week with one
30-minute workout on Monday, and one 30-minute workout on Saturday. Keep adding
as needed, but always make sure that you are being realistic about how much you
can actually do. It’s okay if you can’t go to the gym every single day, but it hurts
you more if you write down that you will go every day, and then you never do.
If you commit to two or three days a week, it’s harder to wriggle your way out
of it! Making a plan gives you a good routine, and when working out becomes a
healthy habit, you tend to like it more! </span><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #535353; font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Stay motivated // Once you have set goals and made a plan, think
about how you will motivate yourself to continue to workout and stay fit, even
when schoolwork gets heavy or you get tired. Finding time to fit in a workout
is especially difficult if you have no motivation to go in the first place! I
have a few ways that I like to stay motivated, and all of them are pretty
simple. I make a workout playlist with music to get me pumped, buy that new
sports bra I’ve been eyeing, or promise myself a chai latte the next morning. I
also go to the gym with a friend a lot, and it works well for a few reasons.
One, if you plan to go to the gym with a friend, you are held accountable for
going. Two, you and your friend can teach each other new exercises, or race
each other on the bikes. And three, working out with a friend is way more fun
that exercising by yourself. You can sing along to the same songs or help each
other lift weights. So next time you want to go to the gym, plan to go with a friend!
Make plans that will keep you exercising and enjoying the workouts. Whatever it
is that keeps you going, do it! Staying motivated is the key to exercise. </span><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #535353; font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Treat yourself // An important part of working out is rewarding
yourself for the good work that you do! Just because you have started working
out does not mean that you should starve yourself of the things you enjoy, or
punish yourself for not doing it all perfectly. If it’s the weekend, and I’m at
dinner with friends, and they are all getting a dessert, I’ll get a dessert! An
important part of having a workout routine is finding balance, so remember that
you are allowed to have a treat every once in awhile. Once every week or two I
give myself a bit of a cheat day, which means I either don’t go to the gym or I
have something cheeky to eat. Either way, I let myself have one day to enjoy
something nice for myself. I’m not just rewarding all my hard work at the gym,
but all my hard work throughout the week too! </span><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #535353; font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Don’t be hard on yourself // When you have a strict workout
schedule like I do, it’s hard not to be mad at yourself when you are too tired
to workout, or you can’t find the time to go to the gym. But please, don’t
punish yourself for not doing everything or not doing it all perfectly. This tiny
mistake is just a miniscule part of your fitness journey. Harping on eating
that second doughnut does you no good, but going to the gym and getting a good
workout in will. And if you need a break, take one. Listen to your body and
take note. What is more important than exercise is being okay mentally. Getting
sleep is scientifically proven to be better for your body than spending an hour
at the gym, so if you can get some extra z’s before your next class, do it.
Always remember that you are enough, and you are doing the best you can.</span><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #535353; font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Having an exercise routine as a college student is just plain
hard. It sometimes seems impossible, and other times just seems completely
unnecessary. But exercise is about so much more than just knocking off those
few extra pounds or getting a little more definition in your arms. It’s about
having a better night’s sleep, having a stronger immune system, feeling less
tired, feeling healthier and feeling stronger and feeling so much better. It’s
about knowing that you can set your sights on something and reach your goals.
So treat your body right and get your workout on! You can go to the gym, but
you can also go for a run outside, go on a hike with your friends, or lift some
weights at home. Whatever works for you is what will help you be in the most
successful. And always know that, when it comes to working out, not matter how
tough or intimidating it seems, you really can do it.</span><br />

Hello there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am so excited to talk about this palette, because I had been on the hunt for this palette for what seemed like an eternity, and when I finally found it in an Ulta I seriously jumped for joy. The Carli Bybel palette is a palette of four highlighters and ten shadows, in a spectrum of neutral shades with matte and metallic finishes. In my search for the perfect palette I have always found palettes with a lot of neutral shades, but a few bright shades that I would honestly never wear. So when I found this palette I was so excited, because this palette is filled with beautiful neutral shades. The true test, in my opinion, was to see if the quality of shadows was creamy and pigmented, and if the highlighters were long wearing.<br />

One of my least favorite parts of this palette was its packaging. Although I love having highlighters and shadows in one slim palette, the quality of the packaging is somewhat poor. The packaging is cardboard, so it can dent easily, and when I traveled with it the packaging did get dented, and I was a bit worried that the shadows might break. The palette survived the trip, but I think that if you want a palette that is easy to travel with, you might be a bit worried about this one. You do get a mirror, which is convenient, but the mirror cannot stand alone, so it can be a bit useless. However, I understand why the packaging was poor; this palette is so incredibly inexpensive! For fifteen dollars, this palette is a serious steal, so I can deal with the packaging. </div>

The ten shadows in this palette are really lovely. I loved that this palette had gold toned shades as well as some mauves and plums, which are still neutral but are always nice if you want to add some variety to your makeup. And, while the shades are all neutral, they are still unique; some of the metallic shades have a bit of a gold duo chrome, and the matte shades are really warm but still could work with cool colors. The shades don't have names, which is a tad annoying for a beauty blogger, but the first shade on the left side of the second row is one of my favorites. I was slightly underwhelmed by the matte shades because, while they are very smooth and don't kick off a lot of product, I found that they were not as intensely pigmented as the metallic shades. Another discovery I made while testing this palette was that the metallic shades were not as creamy as the highlighters, which I found to be surprising and a little weird. Nevertheless, you can get a really gorgeous natural look or a super smokey look with these shadows; I think the selection of shades is really versatile and also super easy to use. I think a makeup beginner could really benefit from a palette like this, and it would be a perfect addition to any makeup addict's collection. </div>

My favorite part of this palette is the highlighter section. These highlighters are seriously stunning and so richly pigmented. I love that the palette has highlighters for a range of skin tones; bright champagne highlighters don't actually look that flattering on really deep skin tones, so I thought it was a fantastic idea that they included a rich gold highlighter and a deep bronze shade as well. Although I cannot all of these shades as highlighters, the highlighters are so creamy and blendable that they look amazing on the eyes; I have been wearing the gold and bronze highlighters as shadows for a few days, and I love how incredibly shiny they look on the lids. As for the other two shades, they both look amazing on the tops of the cheekbones, but at the moment I am a tad bit more tan than normal, so I find that the second, more champagne shade is the most flattering on me at the moment, though I am sure that the light baby pink highlight will look amazing come winter. I love that these highlighters are embossed, and I wish that all the shadows were too! Overall, I think that these highlighters are seriously a hit, and if you are in need of new highlighters that are insanely pigmented, blendable, and long wearing, you need this palette. </div>

Although I don't love the packaging, I love the products in this palette! I think that it is such a steal for only fifteen dollars, and the shades in this palette could really work on anyone. If you have been wanting a new palette, I would highly recommend this one! It has been selling out non-stop, so if you want it you need to grab it yesterday. You don't want to miss this palette!</div>

When visiting friends in the UK, I picked up a lot of British beauty products, and since getting home and putting them all to the test I have found a few real gems. In my search for the perfect palette, I thought I would venture into the drugstore to see if I could find a palette that has good pigmentation and a variety of shades. Palettes in US drugstores, unfortunately, are quite terrible, and also way overpriced. I was so impressed with the incredible range of palettes in the drugstore, and of course I wanted to buy them all, but I just stuck to MUA palettes and grabbed a few. I wanted to pick up a few of the palettes that loads of people rave about, but I also grabbed palettes that I had not heard of but looked beautiful. </div>

This palette has been talked about a lot in the beauty community, because it is meant to be a bit of a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked palette. And if you look at it it's pretty obvious; the shades are organized in the same way, and the tone of the palette, overall, is the same. I wanted to test out this palette because it has some gorgeous shades in it, including some beautiful pinky shades and a nice matte brown. All of the shadows in this palette apply beautifully and are so creamy and pigmented. It's pretty unreal how intense you can make these shadows. I love that this palette gives you a matte brown and a black, so you can easily travel with just this palette, and creating a smokey eye or a shimmery look is super easy. Unlike the Naked palette, I felt like this palette had more pinky shades than gold shades, but if you want something that is really similar for a fraction of the price this one is a good palette to test out. </div>

Out of the four palettes I bought, this one has been the palette that I have reached for the most. It was the first one I got, and after trying the shadows I became obsessed and I ran back to Boots for more. To me, this palette is similar to the Naked 2, but not identical. However, I still feel like the cool tones of this palette are the same and, if you got this palette, you could easily replicate some looks from the Urban Decay palette. What I loved most about this palette was the variety of gorgeous metallic shades that are so pigmented and so easy to blend. On days when I wanted an effortless makeup look, I swipe on one of the metallic shadows in this palette and I am basically done. In this palette you get the shade fiery, which is an incredible rose gold shadow; it is definitely one of my top favorite rose gold shadows, up there will Loreal's Amber Rush. I don't use a lot of the grey shades, especially not during the summer, but I love having the option of being able to create a really warm look and a really cool toned look from the same palette. While there is not a warm medium matte brown in this palette, you do get a matte black, which is really good quality and always nice to have on hand. </div>

Out of all of the MUA palettes that I had heard about, this was the most talked about, so I wanted to get my hands on it as soon as possible. And while I think the colors are gorgeous and the texture of the eyeshadows is amazing, I was slightly underwhelmed by the composition of this palette. I feel like the selection of shades can't really give you that many different looks, and I didn't really feel like there was a lot of variety. This palette also does not have any matte shades, which for some may not be a bit of a deal breaker, but does make this palette a bit tough for travel because you will have to bring separate matte shadows with you. That being said, I think that this palette is filled with really warm, rich colors that would look good on almost anyone's skin tone, and I think that you can easily create a really natural look that looks effortless and gorgeous. If you want to build up your collection, and need more shimmery shades as well as a lot of neutral shadows, this is a great choice. </div>

I had never heard of this palette, but I grabbed it because it looked really unique and different from any other palette I owned. Unlike the other three palettes, this palette has a lot of cool-toned matte shades, so if you want more matte shadows in your collection this one is a good one to try. What I did notice was that there was a bit of overlap between this palette and the Undressed Me Too palette, so you don't necessarily need both. However, this palette has a really beautiful plum and a gorgeous forrest green, so if you have been searching for those types of jewel-toned shadows you might want this palette too.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you are starting out in makeup and need to bulk up your collection, or if you are a makeup aficionado like me and cannot get enough cosmetics, these palettes are absolute must-haves. The shadows are incredibly pigmented, long-wearing, and very blendable, and each palette has a really cool selection of shades for you to create your own looks. I would absolutely recommend these palettes to anyone! For four pounds each you cannot go wrong. I don't think one of these palettes is my all-time favorite, but I think they are all beautiful and it's definitely nice to have a couple on hand. </div>

Hello there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BPuQGOgdPyE/V50BZGip4YI/AAAAAAAAFXk/tas2Vvp9NMc8yZqH9FNi7tpU6LPqeLw2ACLcB/s1600/2016goalsimg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BPuQGOgdPyE/V50BZGip4YI/AAAAAAAAFXk/tas2Vvp9NMc8yZqH9FNi7tpU6LPqeLw2ACLcB/s640/2016goalsimg.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
I know we are over halfway through the year, but I always think that, around this time of year, it's a good time to reflect on my aspirations, and really think about what I want to get out of the rest of this year. Sometimes we get lost in what is happening in our lives, so it's nice to really make some plans and refocus your energy! I like writing about my goals and plans for the year, not only because it helps me think things through but because it also holds me accountable for what I want to do, to make sure that I actually get it done! During the summer everyone wants to relax, but these months will fly by and I don't want them to be wasted! So I thought I would make a list and write down some goals for the rest of this year. A few months from now, in December, I will look back on this post, and hopefully I will have achieved some of the things I set out to do! For each goal, I will share some of my ideas for achieving this goal, and then make some more specific points about how I should get each thing done. If your goals are too vague, you won't feel like they can be accomplished, so be detailed and specific!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Write more // Since I have been home and have had more time on my hands, I have absolutely loved wiring on this blog and taking photos. It has been a great way for me to share my love for makeup with you all! I know, last year, that I was not very good at updating the blog, and when it was updated it was pretty random. So I want to make sure that, when I go back to school, I make more of an effort to blog, maybe once a week, to keep this blog relevant and alive and to keep sharing things with you all. I know when I don't blog I really miss it. However, until I go back to school, I have decided that I want to post at least three times a week. Sitting down and forcing myself to focus on writing content has become a really good exercise for me, and I think will reward me when I go back to school and I need to focus on school work. Sometimes I get in a bit of a rut, so I ignore the blog, but making myself commit to creating content has helped me exercise a lot of will power, and the feeling of accomplishment after I post content that I am really proud of is worth all the work! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Read more // Reading is something that I seriously love doing, but when I'm at school I never seem to have the time. I feel like I resented reading growing up because it was mandatory, and I was usually forced to read things that I really did not want to. But now that I am in college, I have found some amazing literature that I actually want to read. I think reading is so relaxing, and I have so many books sitting on my shelf that I want to get through! So I thought I would sit down once a week to read for an hour or two. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I think sitting down and reading will inspire me to keep reading and keep picking up more good books! And if I find an incredible book, I might share my thoughts on the blog too!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Travel more // This has been on my list for a while, but ever since I got back from Israel and England, I have gotten the travel bug and I have wanted to keep traveling as much as possible. Good news is, I already have plans! My friend and I are going to Arizona for a few days, and then I am flying back to LA to head up to Mammoth afterwards for the rest of the week. It's going to be a bit crazy, but I haven't been to Arizona or Mammoth in ages! Although these trips are not as exotic as my travels in June, for me traveling is more about exploring the world and expanding the mind, and I really just want to see and do as much as possible before I go back to school! Once I am back in DC, I want to visit some friends in Boston, and go to New York to see a friend at university. I haven't been to either place, and they are so close to DC, so next semester I am going to make a point to go and see friends, and explore the east coast!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Exercise more // This summer I have been doing a really good job at exercising almost every day; I love going to the gym, but I also love hiking and pilates! Getting my sweat on always feels so good, and I am starting to see results! Between eating healthy and working out, I have noticed that I am getting more toned, and I want to stick with this momentum and keep going! I know it will be hard to go to the gym very single day once I get back to school, but I want to make a serious effort and see how much I can do. I have also made a fitness calendar, where I document what I have done and when I have done it, so I can keep track of my workouts and stick to a schedule. Getting fit is definitely a journey, and I take it day by day. I don't expect results overnight, but I want to keep going to get stronger and healthier! If you want to see my fitness routine and tips, let me know!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Work more // This will be a big challenge for me once I get back to school. I certainly procrastinate when I need to get back to work, so next semester, with all my work and my busy internships and babysitting schedule, I want to make more time for work and less time for play. Sophomore year is an important year, and I need to take my work seriously. Being focused and diligent about my work is going to be super important, so I am promising myself that I will make a bigger effort to get all my work done, go above and beyond, and bulk up my resume. As motivation, I am grabbing a new planner for the year! I don't know about you, but a clean, beautiful planner is always good motivation for me to stay organized and do some of my best work!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Plan more // Getting a new planner will definitely be a part of my plans to be super organized. With my busy schedule, I will need to be! I will need a lot of sticky notes and colored pens, but I want to stay organized and be prepared, and plan ahead for anything I need to do. It does take some extra work, but I know in the long run I will thank myself ten times over. Whenever I forget to plan for something, or completely forget something altogether, I always wish I had written it down or taken a moment to plan what I needed to do, and given myself enough time to do it. Getting into a habit of planning is so good, so I want to start the year off right and be clean, prepared, and organized!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Explore more // Along with traveling more, I want to explore more! LA and DC are both amazing cities, and I still don't feel like I have seen everything. In DC there is so much to do, from going to cool restaurants to see amazing art at some cool museums, and I want to do it all! So I will try to do something new every week to see something in the city or go somewhere new. College is all about new experiences, and I want to make sure that I don't miss out on anything! As for LA, I want to do some exploring before I go back to school, so I want to make an effort to go to another museum or two before I leave, and eat more amazing food in Southern California! I have a list of things I want to do, and I need to start ticking stuff off! </div>
<br />
When we set goals for the whole year, sometimes we tend to lost track and things slip through the cracks. Making plans for six months, one month, or even one week is not only easier but also gives you a chance to be more realistic about your goals. So give it a try!<br />
<br />
What are your goals for the rest of 2016?<br />

Hello there!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-leZ2TzgtxWM/V5e-oMzfvFI/AAAAAAAAFWQ/aLnSoFMqaE0xyNvvSWPAvxFCOMogbdUBgCLcB/s1600/arbonnegardenpalette%255B2%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-leZ2TzgtxWM/V5e-oMzfvFI/AAAAAAAAFWQ/aLnSoFMqaE0xyNvvSWPAvxFCOMogbdUBgCLcB/s640/arbonnegardenpalette%255B2%255D.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to continue talking about palettes, so today I thought I would share my thoughts on Arbonne's Country Garden Palette, which isn't a new palette but one of the few that Arbonne has made. This palette was actually a gift, but I still wanted to share my honest opinion on this palette. I have talked about Arbonne on my blog before, but I haven't tried their products in a while. They are an all-natural brand, and their products are created to look effortless and natural on the skin. And, while I love the idea of effortless makeup, after using this palette I found that the products were too soft to create a look that I would want to wear. Nevertheless, I decided to share photos and swatches of the palette, to give you a full review and breakdown about each product.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5DtxVSo5n7w/V5fR7rG27yI/AAAAAAAAFWc/pAm0gC9wxqkF67I2x-efzpFCuqu_NSBIwCLcB/s1600/arbonnegardenpalette%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5DtxVSo5n7w/V5fR7rG27yI/AAAAAAAAFWc/pAm0gC9wxqkF67I2x-efzpFCuqu_NSBIwCLcB/s640/arbonnegardenpalette%255B1%255D.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have to start by mentioning one of my favorite parts of this palette, which is the packaging. The palette is slim and has a really nice big mirror, so it's perfect for travel, and the outside of the palette is totally gorgeous, with mint roses and gold foil detailing. I think it is seriously beautiful. The applicator that comes with this palette actually has a small brush on one side, so it could be useful for smudging on the lower lash line or applying product to the inner corner. The Country Garden Palette has a few different versions, so you can grab this one, which is slightly more cool-toned, or one that has much more warm shades and a bright sheer moisture lippy. At first glance, nothing really stood out in this palette to me besides the bronzer, which is a real bronze shade and has quite a bit of shimmer in it. All of the eyeshadows, except for one, appear to be matte, so I was hoping that they wouldn't kick off too much powder when applied. The palette comes with a blush and bronzer duo, four eyeshadows, and one of their sheer moisture lipsticks, which is a pinky nude shade. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The part of this palette that I was initially attracted to was the blush and bronzer duo, which comes in the shade summers meadow. I like the look of this bronzer because it had a nice glow, but the blush seemed a bit light for my skin tone. Once I swatched both shades, I realized that the bronzer was more of a bronze eyeshadow than an actual bronzer. Both the blush and the bronzer were decently pigmented, and didn't kick off a lot of powder, but when I applied the bronzer to the face I looked like I had just had a terrible spray tan; the bronzer was too orange and too glittery to look natural. As for the blush, which looked like a nice baby pink, I just thought it was too pale of a pink for my skin, and I don't think that this shade would work on very many skin tones. It was also somewhat metallic, like the bronzer, so it gave you a nice glow; if this could be used for anything, it could be a soft highlighter, but I don't think this a very good blush or highlight. You could also mix the bronzer and blush together for a more wearable blush shade, or for a powder that could add glow to the face, but overall I think you really have to work with this product to get good results. I don't think this duo would look natural or flattering on anyone.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This palette comes with a quad of eyeshadows, most of which seem to be matte, and all of which have very cool undertones. The shades themselves, on a first look, seem to be really unique, but I found that the quality of the shadows was not very good and did not create a natural, effortless look. Still, I wanted to give you some notes about each shadow, so you know why this quad didn't work:<br />
<br />
bluebell: I don't normally wear light blue eyeshadow, so already I knew that this would be a shade that I would not use. Out of the four colors, this one is one of the best, because the pigmentation is somewhat strong and it blends well. However, if you want a matte, light blue eyeshadow, I think there are a lot of less expensive options, so I think you could skip this one.<br />
<br />
woodrose: I was actually really interested to try this shadow, because it is really unique and not a shadow that you would normally find in a palette. It is a steel grey shade with blue undertones and a soft shimmer. It doesn't have a lot of fallout, and it is actually pigmented, so I was impressed with this shade. I don't really have that many uses for it in my everyday looks, but if you like a grey shadow and sport a smokey eye on the regular then you might like this shadow.<br />
<br />
birch: I was looking forward to trying this shade because it is a medium matte brown shadow, which I think is essential in any eye look and perfect for a palette. This, to me, was the most disappointing part of the palette, because the shadow was flaky and dry, and not pigmented. It blended shadows without adding any warmth or that much color, and I found myself reaching for other medium brown shadows to make up for what this shade was seriously lacking. It was an underwhelming shadow.<br />
<br />
willow: A matte cream shadow seems like it would be really easy to get right, but a lot of brands struggle to make a matte cream shade that isn't flaky or dry, and is pigmented and creamy. So I did not have high expectations for this shade. It did not show up when I applied it to my lids, and it was really dry and hard to work with. It wasn't buildable either, so you can't keep adding product to get your desired intensity. It was not a good quality shade.<br />

<br />
This was probably my favorite part of this palette, which is ironic because it doesn't actually come in the palette itself. But each country garden palette comes with a sheer moisture lipstick, and this palette comes with the shade rosebud. It is a soft baby pink shade that is really creamy, but it is actually a bit too creamy, and it can be hard to apply out of the bullet. But once it is applied it looks quite nice, and although it isn't long wearing it's one of those lipsticks that is great to have in your bag for when you want to touch up your look without a mirror or a lot of time. I will actually use this product in the future.<br />
<br />
I know that this review might have seemed a brutal, but I wanted to be really honest. I was looking forward to trying this palette because it had a unique range of shades, and housed both eyeshadows and face products; I was hoping that it would be a nice palette for travel. However, it just doesn't do anything special. And for the expensive price of 110$, I don't think this palette is worth your money. I don't think that any of the shades go together, and it feels like these colors were just thrown together and put in a palette. And, unless you have extremely fair skin, none of these shades will actually show up on your skin or be flattering. I would recommend finding another palette that has face and eye products and is more versatile and better quality.<br />

I have loved bright polishes this summer, so I wanted to share my favorites! I traded in my dark plums and aubergine varnishes for bright oranges and cobalt blues, and I have become obsessed with strong colors on my nails during the warmer months. I still wear black during the summer, so adding a bright pop of color to my look with a bold nail polish is easy to do! Here are the shades I've been loving:</div>

1. nails inc gel one coat // portobello lane: This polish has been on my toes since the day I bought it; I just keep reapplying the shade! It's a bright red-orange shade that would look amazing on anyone and looks especially lovely on the toes. I usually apply three coats to get a strong, opaque finish, but you can absolutely get away with two coats if needed. I don't think this polish can actually be opaque in one coat, like the bottle says, but I still love the formula because it's really glossy and creamy, and it's not super thick so it goes on smooth. If you have been looking for the perfect color for the toes, this might just be it! [rp: 15.00]</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. nails inc gel one coat // spring street: I wanted to mention a pastel in this post because I love wearing pastels during the summer, but I like this polish because it is different from the baby blues and pinks which are great for spring. I love this sherbert peach shade because it can look more professional and is more wearable than other bright colors, but it isn't plain or boring. It is a little streaky, so it does need three coats, but once it's on it looks lovely. [rp: 15.00]</div>

3. barry m gelly nail paint // damson: After Sally Hansen changed the formula of Pacific Blue, I thought I would never find a bright, opaque cobalt blue ever again. So when I stumbled across this shade while wandering through a Boots in the UK, I thought I would see if it could compare to one of my favorite polishes. And it does! This polish is so creamy and opaque; it isn't streaky, and it applies beautifully in two coats. The formula is great, the color is beautiful, and I can get a whole week's wear when I use this polish. It has quickly become one of my all-time favorite shades. [rp: 5.00]</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. barry m gelly nail paint // sugar plum: I am not usually a fan of pink polishes, but this one is right up my street. It has purple undertones that make it look really different than other pink polishes and makes it a really fun shade on the nails. I also love this gelly formula! It glides on the nails beautifully, isn't streaky, and lasts for ages. If you want to pick up some really fun colors for the summer, barry m has a great range of shades. [rp: 5.00] </div>

5. opi // you're such a budapest: This is absolutely, most definitely, in my top five favorite polishes of all time. I cannot get over how gorgeous this color is and how perfect it looks all year round, with just about everything. It's a periwinkle polish with a soft shimmer, but the shimmer isn't noticeable once it's on the nails. There are two downsides to this polish, however: it is somewhat sheer, so it needs three coats, and it is also limited edition, so it can be a bit tricky to get your hands on. But if you hunt it down the work is well worth it, because this color is super unique and stunning too. [rp: 9.00]</div>

6. dior // calypso: Even though this is a polish from an old summer collection, I wanted to mention it because it is absolutely fantastic. It's a red-orange polish, but it is slightly more red than nails inc's portobello lane. It has a gelly finish, so you can see the nail line through the polish. It looks like sorbet on your nails, and I love it! I don't usually like red polishes, so this one is perfect because I think it suits my skin tone more than a classic red and it's very festive for summer. If you want to invest in a polish this season, I would recommend this one. [rp: 27.00]</div>

7. wet n wild megalast // private viewing: For those of you, like me, who love nude all year long, and who don't want to step too far out of their comfort zone, I thought I would mention a nude polish that I think is fantastic and looks really nice during the summer. This shade is a soft pinky nude with a slight peach undertone, so it looks really great on those with lighter skin tones. It applies really easily, and the brush is big which makes application even more smooth. This is one of those polishes that you can take off and apply over and over again, because it goes with everything and looks so effortless. If you wanted to switch out your mauve-toned nude polishes for something more summery, this is definitely the polish to try. [rp: 2.00]</div>

Hello there!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pznBNsgw8Ss/V41ecZZ6eOI/AAAAAAAAFSs/zFKdRONCNjQktOew9J-Ob6DnWmXAC9UlACLcB/s1600/soapglorypalette%255B4%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pznBNsgw8Ss/V41ecZZ6eOI/AAAAAAAAFSs/zFKdRONCNjQktOew9J-Ob6DnWmXAC9UlACLcB/s640/soapglorypalette%255B4%255D.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In the world of makeup, everyone is always on the hunt for the "perfect palette." And finding the best one can be tough; some people want all neutral shades, some want the perfect combination of matte and shimmer shadows, and some want bright colors. For me, I want a palette that has a mix of shadows that are pigmented and long wearing, in a palette that I can easily travel with. But I also don't want to spend a ton of money on a palette. So I thought I would do some digging and find a few palettes that haven't been talked about a lot, or are new to the market, and let you know what I think. The first one I wanted to talk about is from Soap & Glory, which is a UK brand that has a lot of amazing products. Their new palette, called "The Perfect Ten," was created to be the perfect combination of colors in one palette. So I thought I would grab one and see if it met my expectations of the "perfect" palette.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
First, the packaging is great. Like the Lorac palettes, the packaging is slim, so it is very compact and great for travel. The palette comes with ten shadows from the "Lid Stuff" collection, which are known for being pretty great. What I liked about this palette was that the colors were not like the shades that you would find in other popular palettes. While of course there are some neutral shades, what sold me on this palette was the choice of colors that were unusual and really unique. The overall undertone of this palette is very pink, so if you like pink-toned shadows but you want to stray from shades like those in the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette, this might be a really good choice. I love being able to mix in unique shades with neutral shadows for a really interesting look. The palette offers a choice of light shades, as well as a few deep, smokey colors, so you have a lot of variety and a lot of choices.</div>

I think the color selection in this palette is really unique. While, at first glance, it might seem as though the shades in this palette don't all quite work together, they really do! I wanted to talk about each color so you know what you'd be working with. I think these shades can make for some amazing color combinations!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
moon mist // This shade is the perfect shadow for the inner corner. It's bright and sparkly without being glittery, and it creates a strong highlight that isn't harsh. This shade definitely has some pink undertones, so it is great when paired with a rose shadow on the lid or a purple smokey eye. I think, personally, that this color is a bit strong under the brow, but if you like an intense highlight under the brow this would be perfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
minky // This shadow is perfect to throw on the lid and go; it's a soft pink, but it has a rose gold tone that makes it different from other light pink shadows. This shade is not super intense, so you can build up the color and make it more metallic or keep it soft and shimmery on the lids. If you want a strong metallic shade, however, this may not impress you, but it is buildable and really beautiful swept across the lids. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
nudecomer // I think that matte mauve shades are so hard to come by, especially in the drugstore, and that's why I love this shadow. Unlike most palettes, which have the standard medium matte brown shade, this palette includes much more unique matte shades in different rose and mauve tones; I think this is why this palette stands out from other drugstore palettes. Not only that, but this palette comes with two great matte shades, so you can take this palette with you when you travel and you won't feel like you need to bring another matte shadow to blend out your eye look. This shade itself is perfect for blending just above the crease because it has pigment but it won't overpower your other shadows. I think it's a great shade for any look. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_vo6LA2eRAo/V41x9jhuw1I/AAAAAAAAFTY/A2XgigclwH0EJYGMEygEuApN_ytqwOupgCLcB/s1600/soapglorypalette%255B5%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_vo6LA2eRAo/V41x9jhuw1I/AAAAAAAAFTY/A2XgigclwH0EJYGMEygEuApN_ytqwOupgCLcB/s640/soapglorypalette%255B5%255D.jpg" width="640" /></a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
copper // This is a classic "Annabel" shade; it's a copper shade mixed with a bit of rose gold. It's a fantastic color and it looks good all over the lid. Like all of these shades, copper blends very easily, and I think that this kind of color would look amazing on almost every skin tone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
toasty // This shade is very similar to nudecomer, but a bit darker, and it is slightly more mauve than nudecomer. I think that this shadow would show up more on those with darker skin tones, but I also think that this shade is great for blending and smudging on the lower lash line. I don't think this is a centerstage shadow, but I think that its great for helping other colors stand out and look better on the lids. It's hard to find these kinds of colors, and I like this shadow so much! I think blending nudecomer and toasty would make for a super blended, beautiful smokey rose eye. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
damsel // This is the shade that really sold me on this palette. While all of the other shadows are great, I really hadn't seen a color like this in the drugstore, and it really stood out to me as a shadow that would be incredibly flattering. What I will say about this shadow, however, is that it isn't the most pigmented when applied to the lid, so I would recommend pressing it on with your fingers and blending it out softly with a fluffy brush. I like the effect that it gives, but if you want a bright magenta shadow this one may not be for you. But if you want to test out something different without going crazy, damsel is the shadow to try. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hx0bZ3HlU5c/V41x9MkpexI/AAAAAAAAFTU/qadV0Z8iMcQ-BDehWILfcPlqdodWB0UqACLcB/s1600/soapglorypalette%255B6%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hx0bZ3HlU5c/V41x9MkpexI/AAAAAAAAFTU/qadV0Z8iMcQ-BDehWILfcPlqdodWB0UqACLcB/s640/soapglorypalette%255B6%255D.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
cream soda // I think that this shade is perfect for popping just under the brow for a easy highlight. It is one of those shadows that almost looks wet; the shimmer isn't noticeable, but you end up with a really fantastic glow. I also think that this shadow would look lovely on the inner corners. I prefer a deeper shade on the lid, but if you like the light pink colors on the eyes cream soda or moon mist would be perfect. At first glance these shadows look almost identical, but they are so different when applied and they are the perfect finishing touches to any eye look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
choccy // I was so surprised by how unique this shade was; I was expecting a classic shimmery dark brown, but this color is unlike anything I have in my collection. It is a richly-pigmented, cool-toned dark brown, but there are strong undertones of purple and grey that make this shade really beautiful on the eyes. You could just smudge it in the outer corners, but I think this would look incredible all over the lid for a rich smokey eye, with moon mist in the inner corners and toasty blended up to the brow bone. There are so many ways to wear this shade, and I think it is a standout in this palette. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
plumtious // I always love a good plum shade, but this one is especially nice because it blends so easily and looks purple on the eyes when packed on, not black like many other dark purple shades do. This is the perfect addition to any look to create a lot more depth and add a little extra glamour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
smoulder // Finding a matte navy blue shadow from the drugstore, that isn't awful, is almost impossible, so finding this shadow was a really nice surprise. While I definitely do not think that this is best navy blue shadow out there, I like this color because it isn't super intense, but it blends really well to intensify a smokey eye and it is easy to work with; sometimes dark shades are too pigmented, and they end up making a mess and you look like a panda. This shadow won't cause you that pain! I think it's the perfect addition to this palette. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W5aJFmBSsPw/V41x-Z9UY7I/AAAAAAAAFTc/dTcjFNtqg_YNqnwI6c37sMzWIRH65EGQQCLcB/s1600/soapglorypalette%255B7%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W5aJFmBSsPw/V41x-Z9UY7I/AAAAAAAAFTc/dTcjFNtqg_YNqnwI6c37sMzWIRH65EGQQCLcB/s640/soapglorypalette%255B7%255D.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall, I think this is a really nice palette. Is it the perfect palette? Maybe not. If you are look for intense pigmentation, or incredibly long-lasting color, I don't think this is the palette for you. But I think this palette is great for everyday wear; you can mix neutral shadows with some of the more interesting shades in this palette to mix up your everyday look and get you out of a makeup rut. It's easy to travel with and has a lot of options. And the price is fantastic! For twenty dollars you can get a fantastic palette that does rival much the more expensive options. I would highly recommend this palette!</div>
<br />
Have you found the perfect palette?<br />

Hello there!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l08mtbF8-Ss/V4U5zrgfXJI/AAAAAAAAFRs/XotxFW_a_UcXOfnGxFdMyUkCRrzqw5MwACLcB/s1600/summerimg%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l08mtbF8-Ss/V4U5zrgfXJI/AAAAAAAAFRs/XotxFW_a_UcXOfnGxFdMyUkCRrzqw5MwACLcB/s640/summerimg%255B1%255D.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

As we settle into summer, some people may jet off on lavish vacations across the world. And good for them! Although I returned from a month of travels, it was all on the broke college student's dime, and it was all dirt cheap. I know many students like me are in the same boat. With almost four months of free time on your hands between the end of one school year and the start of another, sometimes getting stuff done can seem like your last priority. But summer goes by way too fast, and soon you will end up wondering what you did with all your time. I have done that too many times! So I thought, if you are a month or two into summer solstice and feeling totally lost, I would recommend a few tips and tricks, from one broke student to another, on how to have a productive, fun, and amazing summer! Even if you don't want to go on vacation, or don't have the funds, you can make good use of your time off and return to school with some great summer memories.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Make a list // Whether it is a wish list, a to do list, or a bucket list, make a few lists of things you want to do or need to do this summer. Not only will it help you get your headspace organized, but it will help you figure out how you want to spend your summer! If you have always wanted to go to a concert or visit a museum, put it on the list! With so much time on your hands you have time to explore and get creative with your summer plans. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Check a calendar // If you keep a calendar, and make plans throughout the summer, you can keep track of how much time you actually have left. I like to plan out my week to make sure that I am getting everything done that needs to be done, and to make time for everything I want to do. Summer goes by so fast, and before you know it it's over! So make plans for everything on your summer to do list to maximize your time and finish everything. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Get a job, or look for a job // During the summer, the last thing anyone wants to do is work. For four months I want to relax by the pool and hang out with my friends. But spending four months lying about can be a bit of a waste of time, and you may end up a bit bored. So see if you can find some work to do over the summer that's low stress. The point of a summer job should be to get a little money and some great experience! But, if you can't find work over the summer, do some homework and line some work up for the fall. Internships can be tricky to find once the school year starts, so make sure you have made some plans so you know what you're doing when you go back to school. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Deals, deals deals // Do a little research and find some great deals for the summer! Prices during the summer can be ridiculous, so do some digging and find some deals for weekend getaways, exercise classes, or a cheeky massage. You don't want to spend all your money on your summer plans, but spending a little money is sometimes necessary to have some incredible experiences. But you can also make some memories on a small budget, so get creative and see what you can do for free! Go to a museum, a concert in the park, or escape to the beach for a day! There is so much to do for free during the summer.<br />
<br />
Focus on you // The summer is a great time to be selfish, to focus on relaxing and taking care of yourself. Spend some time planning your next moves for the fall, but also take a little time to do nothing, be lazy, and have fun! If you're like me you spent the whole school year stressing out and working hard, so you need a little time to breathe and chill out. Go on a hike, get a nice tan, and eat some great food. Going back to school refreshed is so important, so take time for you!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you have an amazing summer, and I hope you make some memories and have some amazing new experiences! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you have planned for the summer?</div>

I have recently become super duper obsessed with highlighters. Every time I go shopping I pick one up. It's become a bit of an addiction, but the good news is I have been able to try loads of different highlighters, so now I really know what I like. When I saw the Makeup Revolution stand in Ulta, I got so excited! They have this range in the UK, and I had regretted not grabbing anything from the line. All of their products are extremely pigmented and, although I wanted to try an eyeshadow palette, I have so many so I thought I would test a highlighter instead. The baked highlighter range has four shades, all of which are very pigmented but range from a bright champagne to an intense peach. They are also super inexpensive; a massive highlighter from the range is only six bucks! I wanted to try the shade 'Radiant Light,' because it's a soft light pink that suits my skin tone.</div>

What surprised me the most about this highlighter was the texture of the highlighter. The packaging is simple but really nice, and the product looks swirled in the pan. I thought the highlighter would be creamy and buttery, but the product was really smooth but slightly dry. However, the highlighter was really pigmented and applied beautifully. It didn't have a glitter, but a strong shimmer, so if you like looking super glowy this would be a great product. The product also blended really well, so it didn't appear as though I had a stripe of glitter on the skin. It lasted really well on the skin, and I didn't feel like it looked oily or greasy. In fact, I think the soft shimmer kept me looking glowy throughout the day. The pink undertone of this highlight looked natural, like my own skin, but if you find that pink tones don't suit your skin tone there are other shades that have gold or peach tones that would work for those with darker skin or skin with yellow undertones. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TxvJfxSe0Tw/V4KunE-JeBI/AAAAAAAAFRI/E4essMs0dRMjMbKfv1O0LgNf_VyL0tSugCLcB/s1600/makeuprevhighlight%255B5%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TxvJfxSe0Tw/V4KunE-JeBI/AAAAAAAAFRI/E4essMs0dRMjMbKfv1O0LgNf_VyL0tSugCLcB/s640/makeuprevhighlight%255B5%255D.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you like something subtle, I don't think this is the highlighter for you. While you can build up the highlight to be really strong, and the different shades look natural on different skin tones, the highlighter itself never looks subtle or delicate. You could blind people with the light radiating from your cheekbones if you chose to. And, while I don't think that this is the most incredible highlighter I have ever tried, it is a really nice product and is easy to use. If you are new to the highlight game, this might be a good one to try. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am excited to try more products from the Makeup Revolution range; the line is inexpensive and the products look beautiful. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

What have you tried from the Makeup Revolution range?</div>

I wanted to chat today about something that people don't usually talk about: your armpits. And, of course, there's a good reason why; every day we slap on a deodorant and run out the door. But often we don't think about what is in the deodorant we use, and many deodorants, and especially antiperspirants, have ingredients that are not only very bad for you, but also cancerous. For me, thinking about every product I use can sometimes be tedious and seem a bit anal, but I have learned that using the right deodorant is so important for your health. So I went on the hunt for an all-natural deodorant that worked well; I wanted a product that reduced the amount of sweat I produced, while covering up any odor I might produce while I sweat. I tried quite a few that really did nothing, but finally I came across one that works really well. </div>

Schmidt's is a range of all-natural, vegan, cruelty-free deodorants that are great for sensitive skin. And for being all-natural products, they are not too expensive either! Almost all the deodorants are less than ten dollars. The deodorants come in two different forms, as well as lots of different scents, so there are a lot of options. But the scents are not too strong or overwhelming, and they won't interfere with any other scents you might want to wear. Although, at first, I was skeptical about using a deodorant that comes in a jar, I have actually found that warming up the thick creme with your fingers and applying directly to the armpit allows you to really see where you're applying the product. If you are on the go, I would recommend looking into Schmidt's deodorants that come in a stick form. But for me, because I apply deodorant at the beginning of the day, when my skin is clean and sweat-free, I don't have a problem with bacteria or contaminating the product. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The aspect of this product that I was the most concerned about was how this deodorant would wear throughout the day. Another thing to note about this product that I really appreciate was that it didn't rub off on my clothes, so I didn't get white streaks on my black shirt. 99.9% of the time I wear black, so getting white smelly deodorant all over my black clothes is such an annoyance. I think that natural deodorants are notoriously known for being useless, so I was expecting that, by the end of the day, I would feel sweaty and smelly. But, in fact, I found that I was actually not smelly at all, and not too sweaty either. Keeping yourself from perspiring is not healthy, so I found that this product was the perfect combination of everything I was looking for deodorant. </div>

I know that was a serious breakdown of a deodorant, but if you are like me and find that deodorants in the drugstore are too sticky, smelly, or full of harmful ingredients, this deodorant might be a really good one to try. It takes a few extra seconds to apply, but I think it is worth it! If you want to check out their products, you can find them <a href="https://schmidtsdeodorant.com/index.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

I used some of the new products I grabbed in the UK in a little FOTD, and I took a few cheeky photos to prove it!

For summer, I wanted to keep my makeup look soft and clean; I don't want to wear too much makeup because I don't want it to melt off. Some of these products, like the Sleek Contour Kit and the Soap & Glory Wonderbronze, are perfect for summer! They look really natural and give you an amazing glow.<br />
<br />
What makeup have you been loving for summer?<br />

I did another drugstore dash, but this time to a drugstore in the UK! While traveling around England, I wanted to see the sights and make some memories. But I also really wanted to buy a few goodies, including some UK beauty products. Some of the products are cult favorites, and others are items that I wanted to test for myself. Since I've already tried all of these items, I thought I would also share a few short reviews of the products as well.<br />

1 // W7 In the City Palette [Natural Nudes] // The packaging of this palette is so cute! It looks like a miniature version of the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. The six shades are all matte, and they blend quite well. However, the pigmentation of these colors is a bit weak. The colors are nice for blending, but none of the shadows would stand out in a look. I don't know if I would recommend this palette, but if you look soft eye looks this palette might be a good one to try. {rp 8.00}</div>

2 // Soap & Glory Wonderbronze Blush Brick [Sundaze] // UK drugstore products are really doing amazing things with their packaging. Soap & Glory products are seriously adorable! This blush has a myriad of shimmery and metallic shades, from a bright white to a deep plum. Once blended together these shades create a gorgeous blush that looks really beautiful on the cheeks. I am not normally a "blush person," but this one is really natural and glowy. I think it will be a really perfect blush for the summer. {rp 11.00} </div>

3 // Barry M Nail Paint [Vintage Violet] // I have always wanted to try Barry M nail colors, and this purple shade is really beautiful. It is a mauvey-purple with a grey undertone. The formula of this polish is really smooth; after two coats it is completely opaque. It also wears a long time and looks lovely for almost a week. If I had the opportunity I would grab a few more. If you're in need of a few new colors for your nail collection, then I would highly recommend picking up a few of these polishes! {rp 2.99} </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
4 // Collection Lasting Concealer [002, Cool Medium] // This concealer is incredible. Basically life-changing. It has a salmon undertone that completely obliterates dark circles and makes blemishes almost invisible. It is slightly thick, but it blends really easily and wears all day. I have been wearing this concealer in intense summer heat, and it has not melted off my face or separated as a result of the scorching sun. The best part? It is super inexpensive, so you can use it daily and keep picking it up as you need it. {rp. 4.19}</div>

5 // MUA Eyeshadow Palette [Undress Me Too] // This palette is a total must-have for anyone who wants to build up their eyeshadow collection without spending a ton of money. This palette inspired me to buy three more palettes from this range, because the pigmentation is amazing, the colors blend seamlessly, and the shadows wear all day. And for only four pounds, you really can't go wrong! {rp 4.00} </div>

6 // Bourjois Smoky Stories Eyeshadow [Upside Brown] // This palette was something I wanted because I had heard great things about Bourjois shadows, and because I wanted to try something from the range anyways. This quad comes with three shades, two of which are somewhat similar brown colors, and one of which is a gold-toned beige. I liked the pigmentation of the shadows, but I found that the colors themselves weren't spectacular. Though I was slightly underwhelmed by the three brown and beige-toned shadows, the shadow in the middle, called the "light touch," was amazing. It's a type of topcoat that had a rich gold sparkle in it. I have been using it as a inner-corner highlight, which looks amazing with almost every eye look and is perfect for a night out. I love my inner-corner highlights, so this shadow is perfect for me. However, this palette was slightly overpriced, and I do not think that it is worth the price for that one shadow, no matter how cool that shadow is. I think it might be worth a pass. Try the MUA palettes instead! {7.99}</div>

7 // Sleek Contour Kit [Medium] // This is such a cult-favorite, so I knew that I needed to buy it and try it. I grabbed the medium shade because I wanted a darker bronzer for summer. It blends really well and looks gorgeous! The contour shade is completely matte, but the highlight has quite a bit of shimmer, but no glitter. It has a golden undertone to it which I think would look amazing on those with darker skin tones. For me, however, I think that a highlight with pink undertones is more flattering. Nevertheless, the duo is fantastic and definitely worth the money! {6.99}</div>

8 // MUA Bronzer [Sunkissed Bronze] // Can you tell that I'm obsessed with bronzers? I grabbed this one because I heard it was really nice. I cannot believe how inexpensive MUA products are, and how high quality the range is! This bronzer is really lovely; it has a bit of an orange tone to it, which doesn't look muddy, but gives a really soft glow to the face. This bronzer is also completely matte, so you don't look like a brown disco ball. If you are interested in testing out some highstreet bronzers before you invest in a more expensive contour, this one might be a good one to try!</div>

I am back from a month of traveling! I was without a computer or internet, so blogging or being active on social media took a backseat for a few weeks. It was so nice to actually disconnect from the online world and focus on the experience. But now, since I am back home, I wanted to share my travels with you! These posts will be quite photo-heavy, but I wanted to document my time in Israel and England for you, and for my own indulgences. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I spent ten days traveling all over Israel with a group of about forty students. To say that this trip was life-changing and completely eye-opening would be such an understatement. Unlike other vacations, I felt like I was introduced to a totally new world that I had never seen before. It was incredible to see such important and historic places that I had only read about. I don't think that I had a magical connection to the Holy Land, but more on that later.<br />
<br />
After Israel, I flew to England for three weeks to visit some friends. It was so nice to completely let go and relax! I hadn't seen some of these friends in a year or more, so it was lovely to catch up for old times sake. Not only that, but I also did some traveling around England, which was amazing!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I fell in love with traveling again. It was so incredible to see the world and remember what it was like to be in awe of something. I now have the travel bug and I cannot wait to pack my bags for another adventure!</div>

Hello there!<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T_8DHpN7db8/VzZGqEwNSdI/AAAAAAAAFDs/5W4uTps9pmYvYd5CcgyD-rwbjq5GPSjMACLcB/s1600/wetnwildprime%2B%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="472" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T_8DHpN7db8/VzZGqEwNSdI/AAAAAAAAFDs/5W4uTps9pmYvYd5CcgyD-rwbjq5GPSjMACLcB/s640/wetnwildprime%2B%255B1%255D.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't reviewed new products on the blog in a long time, and that is mainly because I have been so determined to finish products I already own. It explains all the posts about empty products! So today I thought I would share two new products I tried from the new Wet N Wild PhotoFocus range. There are four items in this line, including a eye primer and a face primer. But I was more excited about the setting spray and the lash primer. Setting sprays have only been recently introduced to the drugstore, and the only products released have been at least ten dollars. So when I saw that this setting spray was only five bucks I threw it in my basket immediately! I also wanted to try the lash primer, because lash primers are so expensive in departments stores, and I wanted to see if Wet N Wild could make a lash primer that battled the more expensive options. Here are my thoughts:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I was interested to try this lash primer because I have only tried very expensive lash primers. Lash primers don't really exist in the drugstore, so I was excited to see that there was finally a more reasonably-priced option. I love the brush on this primer; it's a big bristle brush that grabs very lash and coats them thoroughly. I liked that the color of the primer doesn't apply as white on the lashes as it is in the tube, because sometimes when a lash primer is too white it can end up making your lashes look grey once you apply your mascara. After applying this primer, I had high hopes that it would do amazing things for my lashes. But I have to be honest and say that this primer was not spectacular. I liked that it made my lashes look a little thicker, but it did not add a ton of length, and did not help my lashes hold a curl. In fact, I think the added thickness from the primer made my lashes heavier, which caused my lashes to droop and look a little limp by the end of the day. If you find an amazing mascara, it will do all the things you need a primer to do. In the end, I think that a lash primer is just an extra unnecessary step, and testing this primer proved that. Skip the lash primer and grab a good mascara instead, like the Physician's Formula Organic Wear mascara or the Essence I Love Extreme mascara. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Because the performance of the lash primer was so poor, I had low expectations for this setting spray. But I was pleasantly surprised! This setting spray does all kinds of good things for my makeup, and every aspect of this product impressed me. I liked the packaging of this spray from the get-go; it is a small bottle, which I liked because it was easy to throw in a purse for touch-ups throughout the day. It has a really good nozzle that gives a full spray; instead of spraying product straight onto the face and ruining my makeup, like I have found some sprays to do, this setting spray mists the face really well. I apply this product before I start my foundation and after I finish my makeup. It helps my foundation blend beautifully into the skin, and gives my makeup more of an airbrushed finish. It keeps my makeup from having a cake-y or powder-y finish, and I find that I have a glow when I use this product, but I don't look oily. But the best part of this setting spray is that it really improves the longevity of my makeup! My makeup doesn't break down on my skin, and it looks really great at the end of the day! I was surprised to find that my skin didn't look dull or grey at the end of the day, and it is definitely because of this setting spray. And for the price, it is a must-have! I would highly recommend grabbing it the next time you are at the drugstore. </div>

I hope that this post was helpful and informative! In my opinion, I think the setting spray was a hit and the lash primer was an unfortunate miss. But let me know if you decide to test out either of these products for yourself, and I would love to hear your thoughts!</div>

Hello there!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z8GlnOw_27o/VzH4Fa_0suI/AAAAAAAAE6Y/YE1iSDuAwkAbGtImUi5-HhqzC7XBnYI_QCLcB/s1600/reflectionsimg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z8GlnOw_27o/VzH4Fa_0suI/AAAAAAAAE6Y/YE1iSDuAwkAbGtImUi5-HhqzC7XBnYI_QCLcB/s640/reflectionsimg.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow. I have been gone for a while. I knew, when I left for college, that things that I loved would be put on the back-burner while I got everything figured out, but I did not realize that my blog would turn into a ghost town. I also did not think that I would miss it this much. For those who have continued to look at my blog, thank you. And for those who left for a little while, welcome back! I am happy to say that I am back and ready to start blogging again.<br />
<br />
A lot of things changed while I was away at college, but the majority of these changes were personal adjustments I made, after realizing that I was not prepared for college life and all its challenges. For me, the struggle was more of a mental one than anything else, and I found myself very lost at times. So I thought that I would share a few lessons I learned during my first year of college. Some are more obvious than others, but I think they are all important lessons to remember:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Be open-minded || As hard as it is, try not to be judgmental. As a typically judgmental person, this was initially really hard to do. But what you have to understand, as someone new to college, is that university gives you a safe space to experiment and to be yourself. I always encountered people who judged others for who they were, who they wanted to be, or the choices they made. In truth, during the first year of college everyone makes choices that they don't think were the best in hindsight, but being open-minded about the choices you make and the choices others make can give anyone a lot of perspective on life's decisions. Be open to taking risks and, even if you decide not to take a risk, be open to the idea that someone else might want to.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Be honest || By this, I mean be honest with yourself. Check in with yourself often and ask "am I okay?" Ask yourself "am I in a good place in my life?" If you answer no to either question, do a little self-reflection and a little soul-searching, and figure out what went wrong or what you're missing. A lot of times, people miss the signs that are telling them to slow down or stop, and they stop listening to their body and themselves. When you stop being honest with yourself about who you are and who you want to be, you really miss out on the entire point of college; university is four years to selfishly follow your passions and discover yourself, but if you work to hard or pursue the wrong passions you waste so much time and energy on the wrongs things or the wrong people. Although the path to self-discovery is long and winding, and a lot of times we all make wrong turns and take a longer path to get to the end, if you are taking a path that is wrong for you without knowing it, you may end up in the wrong place. So take time to reflect and recognize, because it's good for you and because it will reward you in the end. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Be yourself || In the first year of college, everyone just wants to find their place and make friends. I know that the friends I have found in my first year of college will be in my life for a while, and this would not have happened if I had not been completely honest about the person I am. Trying to be someone else is not only really hard, but also really exhausting, and if you continue to pretend that you are someone that you aren't you will eventually find yourself surrounded by people that you don't want to be around and don't connect with. Though at times trying to fit in seemed like the only option, if you feel like you haven't found a good group of friends, or even one good friend, give it time. By the end of my first semester I still felt lost and out of place, but I didn't give up and stayed true to who I was, and I eventually found amazing friends. You don't just have to be honest with yourself, you have to be honest with others too. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Put yourself out there || Being outgoing and social was a major stressor for me, especially at the beginning of the year. As I have grown older, I have become more and more introverted, and because of this putting myself out there to meet new people and socialize was not only a daunting task but also very exhausting. However, my advice is to just do it. No matter how much you hate being social and going out, making connections during the first few weeks of school is crucial, and makes an enormous impact on the rest of your college experience. When people invite you to go out or go to dinner, go. And make a habit of saying "yes" to doing things that you would normally not do, within reason of course. Practice spontaneity and be more adventurous. It will make for a more exciting year and will give you amazing memories with lifelong friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. Choose your friends wisely || This is a tough one, mainly because, in the beginning of the year, you just want to have friends. But recognize the red flags and notice when things seem out of place. You will meet a lot of people in college who seem great and are really cool, and a lot of times you will want to be friends with these people. But if you find that these people don't prove their worth as your friends, and don't stick by your side through tough moments, they are not your real friends. A real friend will be more of an addition to your life than a subtraction, so if it seems like you are putting a lot more effort into the relationship than they are, stop. It is likely that they are not worth it. Talk to them if you feel like something is wrong, but, in the end, if they just aren't receptive to your needs or don't care about you as much as you really care about them, it most likely is not worth your time. You will find so many amazing people in college who will truly care about you, so don't waste your time with people who really could not care less. College is a time to be selfish, but you still have to invest in others, and a person who is not willing to invest in you is not a friend you want to have. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6. Stay close to your roots || In the chaos of school and work and life, we forget what is most important. This is a PSA to call your parents. Often. As dumb as this sounds, you will need your parents in college. If not to tell you how to get a stain out of a dress, then to just be a support system for you. Often we lost sight of ourselves in college, and family reminds us who we truly are and where we came from. If you don't usually talk to your family, reach out to friends back home or someone who has known you for a long time. Staying in contact with people who know you the best or people you have known for a long is so important to help you stay true to yourself. If you go MIA on your parents, at some point you will miss them, so let your friends and family know that you are alive and that you care about them. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
7. Don't jump into a relationship || Please don't do this. College is a time to discover who you are and who you want to be, and if you are so focused on someone else it is almost impossible to take time for yourself without considering the needs of another person. Being in a relationship is about learning about someone else, and how can you do that if you need to be learning about yourself? I am sure many people will say that jumping into a relationship is not a problem, and if it works for than that's fine. But, before you commit to a relationship, think about how a relationship will impact your own individual journey, and decide if that is a sacrifice you are willing to make. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8. Take your classes seriously || People rarely talk about how difficult college actually is, but college is not a cake walk. I got a little blindsided by this notion, and felt myself unable to catch up with the mountain of work that was always in the process of being finished. Like a hamster on its wheel, college became a grind that was miserable and endless. This turmoil is completely preventable; the answer to the problem of how to keep up is to work hard. Do your best when you can, and put your work before your play. At the end of the day, personally, I came to college to work and learn, and that should be my main priority. Talk to your professors, work with your peers, and sit down with your assignments and really try to do your best. You are there to learn and grow, and hard work is a big part of this growth. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9. Eat, sleep, repeat || Party, party, party. It's a regimen many college kids take on within the first year, and frankly it's dangerous. Not only does it ruin your health, but it also ruins your GPA, and you will end up too far behind to catch up in your schoolwork and your classes. Parties are fun, and you should absolutely go to a few, but make sure that you are also eating at least one vegetable a day, exercising, and getting sleep. Whenever I stopped sleeping, I immediately got sick, and that was my body's way of telling me to slow down. But if your body doesn't do that, recognize when you have spread yourself too think or when you are doing way too much, and take a break from the party scene to do some work and chill out. When you spend the whole weekend recovering from Friday and Saturday night ragers you lose valuable work time, so do everything in moderation and make time for your health and your work. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10. Take care of yourself || This goes hand in hand with being honest with yourself. Though it is always important to be honest with others, sometimes we forget to be honest with ourselves. When you get caught up in school, work, and parties, often we forget to be honest about what we want. Not only is it important to make sure that we take care of ourselves, but also remember that, especially in your first year, you do not have to do everything. Not only that, but if you don't want to go to parties or take an internship, you do not have to. One of the biggest problems students face is taking on too much and spreading themselves way too thin. Take some time for yourself to relax and get everything in order. You do not have to know exactly what you want to do, but throughout college you will learn what you do not want to do. If you do not want to do it, you do not have to. Be true to yourself and put yourself first; college is a time to be really selfish and make decisions with your best interest in mind, and that is a good thing. I have learned the hard way that it is almost impossible to be successful if you do not take care of yourself.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My freshman year was not the easiest, but I definitely learned a lot and it was really rewarding. For those of you who are basking in the glow of high school graduation, you have a lot to look forward to. But don't lose sight of who you are, and take care of your self. I have learned that I need to make myself a priority, and recognize what is best for me. I recommend you do the same. </div>

Hello there!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1EbRzueP808/Vy4-Qsz6xTI/AAAAAAAAE40/PBfvGkVrMyMPv_GDl1S52YEGOlJ2tnf6QCLcB/s1600/empties2016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1EbRzueP808/Vy4-Qsz6xTI/AAAAAAAAE40/PBfvGkVrMyMPv_GDl1S52YEGOlJ2tnf6QCLcB/s640/empties2016.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After clearing out my dorm and moving out for the summer, I collected my empty products and snapped a few photos before sending them to the bin. Yes, I am the crazy blogger that holds on to her empty beauty products! Here is what I have used up recently:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v2sEA4pNuiI/Vy5MlmlH2yI/AAAAAAAAE5E/teyZuA-fJW0O3nuhSKS_uwHTFg-BfCeeQCLcB/s1600/empties2016%255B2%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="440" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v2sEA4pNuiI/Vy5MlmlH2yI/AAAAAAAAE5E/teyZuA-fJW0O3nuhSKS_uwHTFg-BfCeeQCLcB/s640/empties2016%255B2%255D.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sally Hansen: Insta-Dri Topcoat || This is one of my favorite topcoats. That should be obvious, seeing as how I managed to use up two before I finished my first year! This topcoat is super glossy and makes your manicure look like you went to the salon for gel nails. It's very inexpensive, and it works really well. The best part about it? It dries within seconds, so you don't have to wait hours to touch things and you don't have to worry about bumping your nails and messing up your hard work! The only thing that is slightly disappointing about this topcoat is that, after a month or two, the formula begins to thicken up. If you don't mind repurchasing this topcoat often, however, it might become one of your favorites too! [RP: 8.00]</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Polish: Nail'd It || I have had this polish for a long time, and I have always loved the color and the creamy formula. But in the midst of moving the polish exploded in my bag, and after that the polish got really gooey. While I am slightly annoyed that this polish had to be a casualty of moving, I know that OPI has a shade called Lucky Lavender that is almost identical. If I want another dusty pink polish I'll pick it up. [RP: 3.00]<br />
<br />
Nutra Nail Bullet-Proof Strength Formula Treatment || This was an underwhelming treatment. After using it for a few months I still did not feel like my nails were significantly different in any way. I would much rather use my Healthy Hoof Cream for nails. It strengthens nails and repairs cuticles, and it is half the cost! This treatment felt like an extra step in my regimen that I just did not need. [RP: 7.00]<br />
<br />

<br />
Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer: Fair || I have used this concealer for a long time, and I still think that it is a good everyday concealer. Before discovering the Maybelline Age Rewind concealer, I used this concealer under my eyes and to highlight. Now, however, I use it to clean up after I use my bronzer and contour. It's a really lightweight concealer that is good at brightening and highlighting the skin. [RP: 6.00]<br />
<br />
Maybelline Master Prime Primer: Redness || When I was testing out a lot of primers, I came across this one and wanted to test it because the concept really reminded me of the MUFE primers. While I don't think that it fought redness very well I liked it just the same; for me, primers play a big role in my makeup routine because they have to keep oils at bay and keep my makeup looking fresh all day. This primer is very good at smoothing out my skin, but doesn't have that silicone feel; nevertheless, I felt like this primer did a good job at increasing the longevity of my makeup. However, it wasn't life-changing, and I don't think that I would repurchase. [RP: 10.00]<br />
<br />
Urban Decay Setting Spray: B6 Vitamin Infusion || I was always very skeptical about setting sprays, mainly because I thought that the whole concept was a complete scam that cosmetics companies created to sell water for thirty dollars. However, I got roped into trying this setting spray at a Sephora and it completely changed my mind. Although this setting spray is marketed as a "prep spray," I used it before and after I applied my makeup, to both prep my skin and set my finished look. I really think that it improved the wear-time of my makeup look, and kept my skin from feeling overly oily or from looking dull throughout the day. I would absolutely grab this setting spray again. [RP: 15.00]<br />
<br />
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation: True Ivory || This is a fantastic foundation, and I cannot believe that it is discontinued in America. This foundation is really lightweight but has buildable coverage, so I could wear this every day and not feel like I was wearing a mask. It wore really well throughout the day and looked really natural. If you can still find it, I would recommend grabbing it before it's gone! [RP: 6.00]<br />
<br />
Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer: Fair || A friend told me to pick this up, and I am so glad that she did. This has quickly become my all-time favorite concealer! It has really good coverage but doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It also highlights the skin beautifully and wears really well. Some people don't like the sponge applicator, but I don't mind it and I think that it works well to distribute the product evenly across my face. The only qualm I have with this product is that the sponge holds a lot of product, and because of this I go through these concealers very quickly. It's not an expensive concealer, but if you pick one up you may find that you will finish it fast! Nevertheless, I love this concealer and I use it every day. [RP: 9.00]<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dvuK8TBR4Jo/Vy7ZmQgOSkI/AAAAAAAAE5o/makNQbYdQpMxrvnkIjVjYBIj4Cr9eGIWACLcB/s1600/empties2016%255B3%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dvuK8TBR4Jo/Vy7ZmQgOSkI/AAAAAAAAE5o/makNQbYdQpMxrvnkIjVjYBIj4Cr9eGIWACLcB/s640/empties2016%255B3%255D.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Physician's Formula Sexy Booster Blush: Natural || I didn't finish this product, but if you look at this blush you will see that it was clearly time to send it to the trash. This blush was beautiful because it added a gorgeous glow to the skin, but I used it more as a highlight than as a blush. However, if you aren't careful this product can end up looking a little chalky on the skin. The best part about this product is that it smells amazing, and the scent lasts on your skin. But if you don't like blushes with a lot of shimmer or highlighters in general you may not like this product. I don't think I will pick up this blush again, but it was a nice product and a good subtle blush from the drugstore. [RP: 12.00]<br />
<br />
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder: Sandstorm || For those of you who have read my blog for a long time, you will know that this powder is my all-time favorite. I have used this powder for years, and it never disappoints; it's amazing for someone with oily skin or someone who wants their makeup to last on the skin. It doesn't make your makeup look thick or cake-y, and it sinks into the skin and wears so well throughout the day. I never feel like this powder is breaking up on my skin or is sliding off my face. I would honestly pay big bucks for this powder, but it is five dollars! There is no reason not to buy this powder, so put it on your shopping list and grab it the next time you are at the drugstore. [RP: 5.00]<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_oARQRaoFns/Vy-neZFbHLI/AAAAAAAAE6E/FOQK8yA48yg_nhM8SbLSDKdK1zBOC5qgwCLcB/s1600/empties2016%255B5%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="448" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_oARQRaoFns/Vy-neZFbHLI/AAAAAAAAE6E/FOQK8yA48yg_nhM8SbLSDKdK1zBOC5qgwCLcB/s640/empties2016%255B5%255D.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Wet N Wild Eyeshadow Trio: Walking on Eggshells || I never thought that I would finish an eyeshadow palette, but this trio was always on my vanity, and I ended up reaching for it every day. I didn't completely finish the brown shade, but I thought it was time that this palette and I said goodbye. In the end, the top and bottom shades ended up shattering, which is why there is a small chunk of white shadow next to the palette. Oops! But I loved this trio and thought the colors were beautiful and so pigmented. For three dollars I think this is a must-have in anyone's makeup collection. [RP: 3.00]<br />
<br />
Covergirl Remarkable Mascara || I used this mascara for a long time, and this was my go-to waterproof mascara for a while. I liked the bristle brush because it grabbed every lash and was very lengthening. I didn't notice flaking or smudging after a long day, and overall I thought it was a really nice mascara. It was not a life-changing product, and I think it is now discontinued, but if you can find it and you need a low maintenance waterproof mascara this is a good one to try. [RP: 5.00]<br />
<br />
Maybelline The Falsies Mascara: Black Drama || The Falsies range is a fantastic line of mascaras from Maybelline, so these mascaras never fail me. I tried the black drama mascara on a whim and really liked the rich black color and the way this mascara held a curl. It's a good go-to mascara if you're in a bind, and the "Falsies" line has a ton of different mascaras to try. [RP: 6.00]<br />
<br />
Revlon Bold Lacquer Mascara || This mascara was a bit of a disappointment. I had heard great things about it, and really wanted to like it, but when I applied it I found that it just looked like my natural lashes were darker. The mascara didn't hold a curl, and it didn't thicken my lashes, which is usually what I look for in a mascara. If you want a very natural-looking lash, I would point you in the direction of this product. But I also think that there are mascaras on the market that can give you a natural eye and still do a lot more than this mascara. There are so many other options, so I would not repurchase. [RP: 7.00]<br />
<br />
Physician's Formula Lash Boosting Eyeliner || This is one of my favorite liquid eyeliners for a few reasons. One, it is a rich black formula that lasts all day, and doesn't smudge or run down my face. Two, this product comes in the form of a pen, so it is super easy to use and makes perfecting the cat-eye flick a total breeze. The nib on this eyeliner is a brush tip, not a felt tip, so it won't fray over time and creates a sharp line with every application. And three, it's super inexpensive and lasts such a long time! You could definitely keep this in your makeup bag for six months before it dries up. The only note I will make about this product is that I do not think that the serum in this eyeliner significantly changed my lashes; I didn't notice that they got longer or thicker with the continued use of this product. Other than that, this liquid eyeliner is amazing! It is a great liner for makeup novices, but is also fantastic for anyone who just wants a great liquid liner from the drugstore. I would recommend it to anyone.<br />

Hello There!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to share some awesome photos I took with the Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge +! I think that the camera on this phone is really fantastic. If you are someone like me who loves taking pictures wherever you go, this phone might be a really good option for you! I wandered around DC over the weekend and snapped a few pics for you all:<br />

Hello There!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would share a quote with you that hit close to home for me. As someone who found it very difficult to make friends, loneliness seemed to live within me like a virus for many years. Though it still lingers, I have found that the only cure for chronic loneliness is both self care and self discovery. I love Rupi Kaur; she is a beautiful writer and has written some beautiful literature about pain and growth. I would highly recommend giving it a read. </div>

Hello There!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZGmx5ZJSKrA/Vv_6sFQa39I/AAAAAAAAE2s/APpjPJdqkH8D3DeCk6F3ZipJUSCXzSc1g/s1600/galaxyimg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="432" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZGmx5ZJSKrA/Vv_6sFQa39I/AAAAAAAAE2s/APpjPJdqkH8D3DeCk6F3ZipJUSCXzSc1g/s640/galaxyimg.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would talk about something new and very, very different today. AT&T was kind enough to send me the Samsung Galaxy 6 edge + to test for you all! As a part of the testing process, I took some photos with the phone's camera and played with it for a few weeks, and I am now ready to tell you my thoughts. This is part one of the full review; in my next post I will be sharing more photos that I took with the phone for Washington DC's Cherry Blossom Festival season. However, before I share photos, I wanted to break down the pros and cons and share my thoughts on this new gadget. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cons:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Because I have been used to a smaller phone, the size of the Samsung Galaxy 6 edge + threw me off. For those who have a larger phone already, you may not mind the size, but for me holding the phone was a bit difficult and I found that holding the phone and typing or navigating the phone was a bit tricky. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The way the phone is organized, as an avid Apple user, was slightly confusing. Setting up an iPhone is really simple, and almost everything is already organized for you. The style of the iPhone is quite clean and simple, and is extremely different compared to the Galaxy phone. On the Galaxy phone it takes a bit more time to customize and organize the contents of your phone. If you like customizing your phone and playing around with design, you may enjoy that aspect of this phone, but personally I prefer for the phone to be almost completely pre-organized when I get it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally, the phone is very touch-sensitive. Accidentally pressing something is really easy on this Galaxy device, and I found myself having to be very careful not to tap anything accidentally when navigating the phone. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

There were a lot of features on the Galaxy phone that I liked, but a few aspects really impressed me. At face value, I loved that the phone's screen curves over the sides of the phone. It not only gives the phone a more "3-D" effect, but it also makes the screen look bigger. Although I do not love the size of the phone, the size of the screen is massive and the image is super clear. </div>

When the phone is "sleeping," a banner occasionally appears on the edge of the screen, like electronic ticker tape, that shows any new notifications, as well as the song you might be listening to and any incoming text messages. This notification bar is a really convenient way to see any new notifications without having to even touch your phone. </div>

One of the more innovative aspects of Samsung Galaxy 6 edge + is its ability to open two pages on one screen. You can open two completely different pages, and adjust the dual-display to make one page larger and one page smaller. As a busy woman who is obsessed with multi-tasking and is always on the go, I love being able to do two things at once on one device. Not only that, but opening dual-display does not slow down the speed of your phone! The dual-display has been a bit of a life-changer. </div>

Unlike Apple phones, this Galaxy device has one real button and one touch-screen buttons on either side. Although at first I found these extra touch-screen buttons to be unnecessary, I actually really like them! One of the buttons allows you to see all of the applications and content that you have open on your phone, which is really convenient. On an iPhone, in order to see all your open apps, you have to double-click the home button. Though this does work, sometimes the double-click can be a little finicky. I really like having one button that has one job, and makes my life a little easier. The other button is a "back" button, which I really thought was useless but have now come to love. I find myself subconsciously looking for a back button on my iPhone, and I now wish it had one.<br />

And there you have it! Those are just a few of my favorite and least favorite features on the Samsung Galaxy 6 edge +. Unfortunately, I cannot really make any comments about the speed of the phone; although it is really fast, I have only had it for a few weeks and I have not downloaded a lot of apps or uploaded a lot of music, so I don't know if the phone would slow down with prolonged use. The other aspect of the phone that's tough for me to review is the durability. Since getting this phone I haven't dropped it, so I do not know how well it holds up over time. </div>

I have an iPhone 5, so I think that I am a bit biased towards Apple products. Nevertheless, I was very impressed with the Samsung Galaxy edge +, and I think that some of the features are really innovative and exciting.<br />
