My [Current] Favorite Lip Products


I think it's pretty obvious that I am prone to obsession and that my tastes change with the seasons. Lately, my lips have been dry due to frigid temperatures and everytime I take a close look at my skin I wonder if I've ever seen the sun. That being said, I've had a few products on heavy rotation for the past couple months and thought I'd share them here just in time for Valentine's Day! Bonus: all products are cruelty free and pretty reasonably priced! 

  1. Nars Semi Matte Lipstick - Fire Down Below- This brick red lipstick is great for a light pop of color as well as for building a really strong red lip.
  2. French Girl Organics Lip Tint - Cerise - First of all, I love that this is called French Girl. Second, I love the natural color of this tint. Even though it's named is Cerise, the color is light and super wearable. I often swipe it on and wear it to the office. 
  3. Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush lipgloss- These lip glosses are affordable, available in a ton of colors, taste great, and are the perfect balance of texture between sticky and smooth. I'm a huge fan and have at least 5 different shades/flavors. Bonus: you can usually find sets that contain multiple shades!
  4. Bonne Belle Smackers -These flavored lip smackers are just classic. They're tasty, hydrating, easily found in stores, and cheap! I go through lip balms like they're socks, so the fact that I can easily replace these is very important to me. 
  5. Gressa Lip Boost - Bare - I could not speak highly enough about this Lip Boost. The color is very natural and nude, its really an enhanced version of my own lip color and it feels so silky and smooth on my lips.
  6. Naked by Urban Decay Ultra Nourishing Lip Gloss- Liar - (not pictured)- This gloss glides on super smoothly, is not sticky, and provides just a subtle touch of color and shine. I'm sold and have been reaching for it it regularly!

Valentine's Day 2015

Valentine's Day 2015

I can tell you, somewhat embarrassingly that I have picked out nearly every Valentine's gift Jon has ever given me. In fact, I can tell you that the gift I requested this year is shown above, but you'll just have to wait and see which one it is! Regardless, I LOVE a good polyvore set, so I had to build one around this lovely (somewhat ridiculous) holiday. We're planning to treat ourselves to a nice dinner and I really can't wait for that! Happy Valentine's Day to all my lovers out there!

November Cravings

New month, new budget. For me, this month is all about affordable clothing pieces and investment accessories. I've always been more of a jewelry/beauty gal than a clothes horse, but the tide may be changing! I've been really into rounding out my closet and there's no indication that this mindset will be leaving any time soon!

Monday Must-Haves: Mellow Yellow


Anyone who knows me, knows that I HATE yellow, but something is happening with me. I've been noticing pops of it throughout my house and I kind of like it! If we want to get all psychological here, it's likely because it's been freezing and dreary and I'm looking forward to Spring! I decided to pull together some more yellow inspiration to get me through the remaining cold winter weeks!
