Pacifica Coconut Infused Mineral Eye Shadow Palette

Monday, May 18, 2015


Last year, while browsing Target's beauty aisles, i took notice of these makeup remover wipes by Pacifica.  Initially, i loved the packaging, but as i read on i realized they were infused with coconut water and being the coconut lover that i am, i simply couldn't leave them behind.  I loved them so much i actually featured them in a blog post which you can read here.  That day i also picked up this beauty.  Fast forward to now... my friends at Pacifica reached out to me with a couple of new products to try.  Since i loved what I'd tried so far, i was excited to see more!






Pacifica's Power of Love Coconut Infused Mineral Eye Shadow Palette is a seriously amazing drugstore palette!  It features a well balanced array of neutrals with a few pops of color! The colors are beautiful and well pigmented.  The shadows are so buttery and super easy to work with!  This is quite a drugstore gem!





Definitely go check out this palette, the delicious coconut infused makeup remover wipes and the rest of the line at your local Target , Ulta or online! I promise you will not regret it!  Noteworthy... this brand is cruelty-free, and 100% vegan!

Gigi Hadid Blue Cat Eyes

Tuesday, May 12, 2015


The other day while flipping through the pages of a magazines, i came across this picture of Gigi Hadid and fell madly in love with her stunning blue wing lined eyes! The magazine mentioned that makeup artist Dominique Samuel used Maybelline's Color Tattoo in Tenacious Teal so i took a stroll to my local CVS and purchased this beauty!  I've worked with Maybelline's Color Tattoo shadows before and love them!  They're incredibly long lasting, blendable and the color pay off is intense! Interestingly enough, I'd never tried these as liner so i was excited to step outside the box and play!







To create Gigi Hadid's look, i kept my eye shadow very simple letting the liner do that talking!  I used an eye liner brush to create my winged line.  I began by applying a thin line from the outer part of my eye and worked my way in.  In order to soften the look a bit, i reached for my Chanel Les Ombres Multi Effects Quadra Eye Shadow palette in Tisse Venitien (read my review here).  I mixed the silver and lightest teal/blue shade together and swiped across the liner.  Then to finish the look, i swiped the silver shade from the palette on my lower lash line.  Top off the look with mascara and voila... Gigi Hadid Blue Cat Eyes! I love this look so so much! It's young, fresh and so perfect for Spring/Summer! Best part... it's easy! Give it a try! Be sure to tag me when you do... I'd love to see how you recreate this look!

Drugstore Beauty - New Launches at CVS!

Monday, April 13, 2015


I grew up near a CVS pharmacy.  One of my favorite things to do, particularly on days when my spirits were down was to head to CVS and browse the makeup aisle.  I'd always find little gems to bring home to play with and of course, being the magazine obsessed girl that i am, I'd always take one along in hopes of drawing some fun new beauty inspiration.  Fast forward to now, i am so fortunate to work with my favorite drugstore haven!  Every season, CVS sends over a box filled with some of their new launches.  Last month i told you about the amazing new L'Oreal hair products that I'm still obsessing over.  Well, today i wanted to focus on makeup and a few skincare items from the seasonal box that really spoke to me!  For this review, i thought it'd be fun to do a video post!  These are the products I'm completely in love with and currently using!  Check out the video and let me know what you think!  I'd love to know if there are any products featured that you've tried and loved or want to try!  Be sure to stop by your local CVS pharmacy for all your beauty needs or check them out online! Enjoy the video (be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel)!
