Holiday Glam w/ Ulta Beauty!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

I am so thankful and excited about this video I created with Ulta Beauty! It’s such an honor to be working with them as not only are they a household name but such a powerhouse retailer! Practically any beauty product you might need you will be able to find at Ulta; so it goes without explaining that every product used in this tutorial can be found there and I have everything listed below for your holiday shopping needs. I love the holidays because everything is a little bit more glittery and gilded.. That’s me all year round but at least during this time of the year nobody looks at me like I’m weird or gaudy 😉 This look is great to wear for Thanksgiving tomorrow or really anytime the next couple months! In my case & I’m sure many of you as well.. all year round! What do you think? Is glitter reserved just for this season or nah?

Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminators | Review & Swatches

Hello my loves!!! Sorry for the delay on this post, I know I mentioned on Instagram over the weekend that it would be going up that day. We hosted Friendsgiving on Sunday so that ended up occupying a lot more time than I thought – I actually still have to hand-wash all of my china as soon as I finish this post. *cries*

I’ve been wanting to try out Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator in Gilded Honey for the longest time but it’s always sold out when I actively look or I forget to check when I’m at the store. I finally scooped it up as well as the other illuminator shade, Ballerina. While I absolutely love both, I have to say that Gilded Honey is the bees knees – no pun intended! I don’t own it so I can’t give a definite comparison but it reminds me so much of MAC Whisper of Gilt with it’s super smooth and metallic finish. I’m obsessed! Finger swatches definitely appear more metallic than with a brush but it is so buildable! It really wears like MAC Extra Dimension Skin Finish (again, like Whisper of Gilt!). I love to mix golden and pink highlights so I picked up Ballerina as well, still a near opaque metallic swatch like Gilded Honey but not as bold! I like to wear Gilded Honey along my cheekbones with Ballerina on top just at the very peaks and then also my cupids bow & down the bridge of my nose.

I would jump on them online while they’re still in stock as it wasn’t the easiest to get my hands on Gilded Honey! I had to buy one online and one in store. As of the time I’m posing this.. they are both at Ulta.com!

Spring Coral Makeup

Hi guys! I just put up a peachy/coral spring makeup tutorial that’d be perfect for anything glammy you have going on this season. Since it’s full coverage and a little heavier it’d be great for prom! I collaborated with It Cosmetics on this video and I’m so excited, I did a winter look with them last year and I’ve fallen in love with their products ever since. They’re all multi-functional products that tie together beauty and skincare.. beautifully, ha. All of their products were created with plastic surgeons and dermatologists and are all clinically proven to do what they claim to do! You can learn more about them and their product line in my video but let me just tell you that their brushes are bomb, seriously some of my faves. Enjoy
