Hey Guys,
Since I created a Best of Beauty 2019 I decided to do a dedicated fashion edition as well. You can check out my Best of Makeup 2019 here and Best of Skincare 2019 here. On to the fashion! Below I will be discussing both specific items as well as trends that I was loving in the past year. There were some standout products/trends that I loved and decided to narrow the list down to things that I was OBSESSED with this past year. Keep reading to hear about the fashion pieces and trends that I was loving in 2019!

Michael Kors Dome Crossbody Bags

Over the years I have become a big fan of Michael Kors handbags. I own a handful of larger bags but I definitely feel like these dome bags are my favorite. I got one of my bags at TJ Maxx, one at the Michael Kors outlet, and one off Poshmark. Even though I carry around a larger bag during the week, I always switch over to these small dome crossbodys on the weekend. They are small enough that they are not a pain to carry but large enough to fit all the essentials plus some. They are perfect for running errands, exploring different places, going out to dinner, or out to bars/clubs. Prior to discovering these crossbodys, I used to use wristlets when I went out to dinner or for drinks because I hated having to carry around a big bag. The negative side of wristlets are that they are small and you can only fit so much in them. You also still have to carry it around your wrist which can get heavy if you have your phone in there. I can be hands free with these crossbodys and they allow me to fit everything from my phone, money/cards, makeup, medicine, my cell phone, and even a small wallet! I am obsessed with these and will be taking one to Italy as my main purse I will use on my trip.

Hey Guys,
Today I will be sharing the January edition of Beauty Box Throw Down. In this review I will be sharing what I got in both my BoxyCharm and my Ipsy Glam Bag Plus. Since I am signed up for BoxyLuxe I will only be doing these when I get both boxes that are comparable in price. Beauty Box Throw Down is very similar to the regular reviews that I do where I show the products, link the products, share my thoughts, and the box total value. However, the difference with this is that I will also let you guys know which box that I think is a better value. So lets jump right in!

Best of Beauty 2019: Skincare

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share part 2 of my Best of Beauty 2019; my favorite skincare products! Unlike makeup, I really try to use up all of my current skincare before trying something new. Because of this, I really don't try AS MANY skincare items as makeup items. That being said, I've tried some really amazing skincare brands/products last year! Like with my favorite makeup of 2019 (you can check those out HERE), I will list a more affordable option when I mention a higher end brand. I included images of the items discussed if I had them at home.  I also decided to add Fragrance and Hair Products categories to the bottom of this  post as I didn't think they needed their own. Keep reading to hear about the skincare & beauty products that I was loving the most last year!

Hey Guys,

It's been years since I've done a yearly Best of Beauty. However, I am trying to switch up my posts and create content other than just reviews and unboxings. I have decided to do a Best of Beauty post instead of a video because I can never find the time to sit down and film and then edit YouTube videos. It takes way too long and the views just aren't enough to justify it. Also, I am really hoping that people will start reading blogs more often! I decided to break up my Best of Beauty into two segments; makeup and skincare. I have also decided to pick a drugstore/affordable option for some of the categories when I mention a high end brand. Keep reading to hear about the products that I loved the most last year!

Hey guys,
I had the opportunity to meet the Babe Lash team at Ipsy Creator Night in NYC back in October. At the event, they gave me their Babe Lash Essential Serum. I also received their Enhancing Conditioner in my General Admission bag at Ipsy Live. I have been using both products since mid October (almost 3 months) Keep reading to hear my thoughts on each and to see my results!

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my thoughts on my BoxyLuxe for December! For those of you unfamiliar with BoxyCharm, it is a monthly beauty subscription box. You receive 4-5 FULL SIZED products each month. The subscription is $21.00 a month and usually has a theme. They also offer an upgraded box every quarter called BoxyLuxe. This is an additional $28.99 a quarter and you get 8-9 full sized products.  BoxyCharm Premium is their 3rd subscription offering and its $35.00 a month. You get 6-7 Full Sized items in your box.  With BoxyCharm and BoxyCharm Premium you get to pick one item in your box from a couple options. With BoxyLuxe you get to pick two. The theme for December was "Whimsy". Keep reading to see what I got and to hear my thoughts. Also, make sure to check out the discount codes below for the month!
