Coral Lip | Muted Pink | Pop of Pink | Nude Lip
Despite my growing collection of lipsticks, I've made it my mission to find my signature lip color-- or colors for that matter. You know, the colors you can wear every day and feel instantly glamorous. After looking at my collection, it's evident I only wear pinks and nudes. I've tried reds and bolder shades, but they just aren't practical for everyday. At least for me anyway! These four colors are my absolute favorite that I wear all the time. I chose these because they are the ones that seem to last for hours and they don't dry my lips out. The gloss doesn't have as much staying power as the lipsticks, but it's still a great color to have on hand. These shade are also easy to mix. For instance, Vanilla Suede looks great with Pink Poodle. It makes a glossy, nude/pink that I just love. Just remember, the key to rocking a lip color is finding the right shade for your skin tone, and after that, it’s all about how you wear it. (It’s all about confidence!)
What is your go to shade? I would love to hear about it!

Now that NYE is a couple of days away, I wanted to share a fun makeup tutorial for a night on the town. My daily routine is usually pretty simple. But since the holidays are here, I like to make for a more dramatic look. Here is a fun and simple way I like to glam up my holiday look!
I used the following products:
MAC Studio Fix Liquid Foundation in NC25 // Bobbi Brown Foundation Brush // Benefit Fake Up Concealer in Light // MAC Eyeshadow in Nylon // MAC Blush in Tenderling // Lorac Behind The Scenes Eyeshadow Primer // MAC Lipstick in Dangerous // Stila Liquid Eyeliner // Lancome Hypnose Mascara // Makeup Forever Mist & Fix // Anastasia Contour Kit & Brow Duo (color Taupe)

Gift Guide | Last Minute Shopper
Christmas is almost here, but it's not too late to buy those gifts for your loved ones. Have no shame, I know I am not the only one who isn't done with all my holiday shopping. Above I have some gifts from my top favorite retailers that promise to delivery before Christmas if you order by tomorrow, (Tuesday 12/16) and most with free shipping. Better yet, all of these are under $100, and most under $50.
My top gifts include the Urban Decay Naked on the Run Pallet. I actually purchased this when it released December 1st and have loved using it. Usually I don't like "pallets" but this one is practical and I use every part of it. J Crew is having 30% off and you can grab this Dazzling Sweater for a great price and just in time for Christmas. And last but not least, this Gold Drip Mug (only $7) is adorable and makes me want to order a whole set. Here's to getting that last minute shopping done! XX ...
Gift Guide | $25 & Under

With holiday parties and gift exchanges just around the corner, I wanted to share with you guys the perfect gift guide for budgets $25 & under! My teacher friends and I just drew names for "secret santa" and I couldn't help but start researching gifts around 25 bucks. Some of these are just too cute to pass up! Like these little bear slippers? Ah, I might just have to grab a pair for myself since they are less than $10. I also love any of the Kate Spade desk accessories. Even though I am constantly around "school supplies", I never grow tired of seeing adorable bow paperclips. Blanket scarves are a huge trend this season and I found the best all under $25. What girl wouldn't want a festive scarf?
If your local to Dallas, a gift card to Bellacures might just be the perfect gift! I've been there a few times and it seriously is the best gel mani, I have ever received! For a limited time, they are offering a free moisture rich add on for any nail service of $20 or more. Use code MR10 at your next visit. This is good through December 31, ...
Beauty Talk | Winter Skin Care
Every year, I work harder to take better care of my skin. I try to do all the "necessary" things my dermatologist recommends. I drink a lot of water (I should drink more), wash my face every night before I go to bed, and always use moisturizer. However, now that I am getting closer to my 30's, I notice my skin's texture and appearance changing. Obviously that stuff is going to happen with age, but I am wanting to do what I can to keep my skin looking hydrated and clean. Who doesn't right?
Since the freezing temperatures aren't helping, I decided I needed to switch up my normal skin care routine. I usually use the Kate Somerville face wash and cream (love them) but I needed something a little more hydrating for this time of year.
My skin is combination/sensitive, so I knew this wasn't going to be as easy. My face seems to break out with anything these days! After doing tons of research and reading many positive reviews, I decided to give the Chanel Mousse Douceur face wash and the Hydra Beauty Creme a try. These weren't the most "budget friendly" so I was pretty skeptical at first, but after using them for a week I could already tell a difference in my skins appearance and texture.
I love the consistency of the Mousse ...

Gift Guide | $50 and Under
How fun are these little gifts? With the holidays just a few weeks away, I couldn't help but think of gifts for my girlfriends, co workers, and Secret Santa's. There are so many great gifts out there It was actually pretty hard narrowing it down to just 12. If you are looking for a perfect gift for your coworker or secret santa, I have to say these coffee mugs by Kate Spade and Shop Ban.do are perfect. I actually own both of those and love taking them to work! This plaid scarf is only 11 bucks. Can you believe that? I have seen it in person and it was just as gorgeous! Happy gift giving! xx ...

Gift Guide | For Her
Hi everyone! I am excited to kick off this holiday season with my very first gift guide. As I have mentioned before, creating gift guides is one of my favorite things to do. I love searching through my favorite stores and finding gifts that I would love to give to my closest friends and family. This week I wanted to focus on gifts for her. These leopard pumps from Nordstrom are the best I have found for under $100. They are the same style as my nude ones I have worn before, and I love the price point. Baublebar always has the best jewelry for gifts. My sister in law, loves Baublebar and I always get excited picking out a new statement piece for her. The hard part is deciding on what to get because they are all so good. And last I have to mention this adorable Faux Fur Vest. Can you believe it's under 50 bucks?
Each week you will find a new gift guide to help you find that perfect gift for that special someone. If you ever have a special request or need help finding something please feel free to email me or comment below and I will try my best to help! Happy Shopping!
