Are They a Dupe or Dud // Lorac VS Physicians Formula Liquid Eyeliners // From My VanityI’ve been a BIG fan of the LORAC liner ever since it was sent to me, which is obvious since I’ve repurchased it twice since then. You can read my original review for this liner HERE, but for those of you who have, you know I love it and have been wanting to find a cheaper dupe for this LORAC line. Ready to see if I did?

BoxyCharm’s August Unboxing / 2015

12 Comments

BoxyCharm has to be my favorite subscription box out there. While it’s a bit more money than the popular Birchbox or Ipsy, I love the fact that you get all full-size products in each box. And even if the product I received isn’t something I would use, because they’re full size products, they make great gifts!

boxycharm-august-unboxing-pinterest-pinThis month was a really, really great month for me! Ready to see all the products I received in my August unboxing?? Just keep reading…

I’m sorry for the delay with today’s post. For some reason, my internet decided not to work half the morning. But, by some miracle, it’s working now so we’re diving right into today’s post!

10534719_10203529346187771_1035784668244887125_nI’m always on the hunt for a new blog to discover, and I’m sure you are too (we’re all beauty lovers here, and the more the merrier, right?!) I thought it would be fun to participate in this week’s roundup of some great beauty-related posts. Do you see any gals you already follow?

  • TheFabZilla: This week, TheFabzilla ‘s rocking taupey-green eye makeup. Check it out if you’re feeling smokey eyes with pop of color!
  • Grow It Girl: Let’s Get Glossy! Don’t you hate lip glosses that leave you with a tacky feeling. I found the perfect gloss without any tackiness

And there you have it! A lot of great posts to browse through. I especially love makeup tutorials.
