I'm Sorry

Hello there!

I am sending my sincerest apologies for I've not written anything in ages! I really do apologize and hope that you won't give up on me yet... I've been extraordinarily busy and uninspired lately but I hope to resolve this soon and hopefully get back into blogging sometime soon because I do miss it everyday. Hope you're all doing well!!!

New favorite flower... peonies! Aren't they lovely?

Have a Wonderful Day!

Current Beauty Goals

Hello there!

I always get very inspired by these posts, not sure why but I accomplished all but 1 of my last 5 beauty goals so hopefully I can do as well this time!

1) 7 Day cleanse



Last Sunday I started a detox cleanse, a change in diet designed to rid your body of some of the harmful chemicals and toxins found in processed foods, something I normally eat plenty of. But after the holidays I decided this would help me spring into the new year with a healthier diet which is one of my 10 resolutions. The cravings are hard and the food isn't all that good but I'm adamant to stick through it and be a better me :)

2) Paint my nails more often



I have all of these new polishes and have touched them exactly once, so I'd like to get into the habit of painting my nails more often and get that nice manicured look without having to spend half an hour correcting my nails. 

3) Find the ultimate acne solution



This was on my last goals post and I did accomplish it somewhat, it's greatly improved though still quite noticeable. I've been using the original Proactiv wash for the past month and just ordered their new solution Proactiv+ so here's to hoping it works!

4) Work on new hairstyles



My hair is the stubborn kind of curly, I've gotten some amount of control over it but I'm pretty limited in the number of things I can do with it. I'm hoping to find something new to do with it soon though I may have to log a couple hours in front of the bathroom mirror before I can do that :)

5) Start dressing nicer



It was one of my new year's resolutions and I'm really looking forward to doing it but I keep making up excuses not to do it. I need to start trying to actually fill this resolution (scary but I'm determined)

Somehow goals work really well for me, I'm ok at sticking to them and getting (at least some of) them done so here's to hoping I actually finish these ones and I hope you enjoyed!

Comment below: what are your goals at the moment? I'd love to hear!

Have a Wonderfully Accomplished Day!

Beauty Wishlist

Hello there!

I know, I know, it was just Christmas and I just got a ton of gifts but yes, I still have a wishlist. I'm not in any way ungrateful or anything but there are some products I've just fallen in love with and will continue to search for. 

Black Skater Skirt

Aeropostale Bethany Mota collection- solid skater skirt in black- size xsmall- $24

One of my resolutions this year was to dress nicer, which I love doing, but I find matching my current skirts a bit difficult so I'm on the hunt for a good solid black skater skirt like the (sold out) one above at Aeropostale

Nars Tinted Moisturizer



Just used a sample of this and fell in love (review here) but hoping to splurge on a bottle of this beautiful product soon...

Benefit Gimme Brow



I've never done my brows but decided to start trying and I've heard this product is highly recommended, have you tried it? (If you have I would really appreciate a comment!)

Makeup Organizing Drawers

Office organizer = makeup organizer

While I love the bag I keep everything in now, I'd like to make it a bit more accessible and decided on the addition of some makeup drawers for my bathroom. I fell in love with this idea from Pinterest, I think it looks nicer and a bit more organized than normal plastic ones though my makeup collection is far different from the one pictured :)

This Floral Duvet Cover


I adore Zoe's room design in this picture and I love matching my room with the seasons, mostly for Christmas, but this year I want to brighten it up for Spring. And although it won't be here for a couple months I have to start early to track down a spare set of these Primark sheets sold last year that I'm dying for

Anyways, just thought I'd share some ideas out there about what I've got my eye on at the moment and collect my ideas, hope you enjoyed!

Comment below what's on your wishlist at the moment!

Review: Nars Tinted Moisturizer

Hello there!

As I was walking through Nordstrom the other day I noticed samples for one of the most sought after makeup products: the Nars Tinted Moisturizer, I've never tried it and always wondered what all the hype was about so I quickly guessed my color as I was running out the door. I got it in Groenland: a light medium with a neutral pink to peach undertone. I love when skin products make separate products for color and undertone as I find matching my undertone to be difficult at times. 

After wearing it the other day I see why everyone loves this product so much. It feels very light on the skin and has a very creamy somewhat thick consistency. My color matched flawlessly and it blends easily and quickly something I greatly appreciate as it seems like I'm always on the go. 

Without any other makeup

 Just looking at my acne spots, the product covered as well as my full coverage foundation. However, it didn't cover my under-eye circles as much as I would've liked, something easily fixed with a touch of concealer but a good thing to keep in mind.

Absolutely terrible at taking selfies...

This product is definitely one of my new favorites and already on my wishlist though at the steep price of $42 per 1.9 oz, it may be awhile before I can get myself some. 

Anyways, hope you enjoyed!

Have a Wonderful Day!
