Perlier Royal Elixir Face Youth Serum Review

Press Sample

 

Throughout the years, I've become more interested in skin care. I've tested a lot of products: from facial scrubs to at-home microdermabrasion tools. I'm still trying many new products because there are just so many out there! Every once in awhile I come across skin care products that are truly luxurious and worth the splurge. This serum is one of those.

Blast From the Past: Polly Pockets!

This weekend I was at my parent's house and I decided to look through some of my old toys. I came across my Barbies (all 21 of them plus a trunk of clothes and accessories), mini Furbies, porcelain dolls, and my whole Polly Pocket collection! I was obsessed with Polly Pockets. I could spend hours on my bedroom floor playing with them.

Ipsy Glam Bag - April 2014

Purchased by me

I love getting packages in the mail. Even when I know exactly what it is, I get all excited (except if it's something like a vacuum part - there's nothing exciting about that). That's why it's so much fun to get subscription boxes. You don't know what you're getting, unless you deliberately peek and spoil the surprise - I admit I do that sometimes!

Get on the List!

Guess what? I've finally set up a newsletter for my blog. I mean, I sort of had one or two going, but they weren't anything special. Now I've got a cute little newsletter that will be sent to your email every now and then with the latest posts from my blog. I'll also be including new and exciting updates about my blog and my life too. I might even add a few extras, like beauty news and tips.

Beauty Box 5 - April 2014

Press Sample
As we're nearing the end of April (already?!), I have my Beauty Box 5 to share with you.  Whenever I have subscription boxes to blog about, I get a little excited. They're so much fun and I love to see what other people get in their boxes in comparison to mine.

NYC City Proof Twistable Intense Lip Color Review

Purchased by me
I've become a major lip product junkie within the last few years. It wasn't always this way. My mom would always urge me to add some color to my lips, but I was too focused on playing up my eyes. Lips weren't a major deal for me. Blogging opened me up to a whole new world of lipsticks, glosses, balms, and colors.

Giveaway: $30 Amazon Gift Card

As I mentioned a couple times before, I'm in the running for Best Blogger in the Sacramento, CA area. I've dropped down to 6th place (not too bad considering how many bloggers have been nominated!), but I'd like to at least finish in the top 5. That would be truly amazing!  So I'm asking for your help...

How to: Pastel Easter Nails

It's funny, I've never done any sort of Easter nails for my blog before. Since I have acquired a handful of pastel shades in my polish collection, I thought this would be the perfect time to do at least one Easter mani!

Revlon Photoready Airbrush Review

Purchased by me

A couple weeks ago, I was in need of foundation. I normally go for the regular Photoready formula, but I was looking around at my options. I discovered the Revlon Photoready Airbrush and was intrigued. I picked up the shade 040 Natural Beige.

What is a CC Cream + Studio Gear CC Cream Review

Press Sample

By now, most of us know about BB creams. They have shown up everywhere from the drugstore to the department store. I wrote a post about BB creams vs. tinted moisturizers vs. foundations - you can find it here. BB creams are pretty common, but have you heard of CC creams? I've been using one from Studio Gear.

Nominated as Best Blogger!

 
I'm nominated again for Best Local Blogger in the Sacramento area, which is totally awesome. I'm currently in 3rd place and could use your help! If you would like to vote for me, it would be extremely appreciated.  I would love to win, but honestly I'm not opposed to finishing in the top five. There's some tough competition and I'm honored to be among the ranks of so many great bloggers.
