New Beauty Products REVIEW

Hello Beauty and Happy New Year!!

Can you believe it’s 2023?! Yikes, that went by fast! Although some of us may not be as excited for the New Year, I for one am. A new year always brings a sense of new beginnings and new challenges. A time to reflect on our shortcomings from the previous year and the choice to improve upon them. I’m excited for what’s to come! 

To kick off the new year, I’m starting with a product review video. I purchased a bunch of new items and I’ll be honest, some of these just didn’t hit the mark for me. They are quickly becoming internet sensations and super trendy, but I wasn’t that impressed.

You can check out my thoughts and review in this video below.

Sunset Eyeshadow Makeup Look

Hello Beautiful!

This past weekend my family and I went to Marshall’s to pick up some beauty blenders for my makeup kit. I always like to browse the makeup section while I’m there to see if I find any gems.

This was my lucky day! I scored some #MORPHExJaclynHill palettes for $7.99!!! I was super stoked! I also got a few MAC lipsticks for $7.99 each.

The first Morphe palette I used was Ring the Alarm. It’s a beautiful rich red and brown, warm toned palette. Right up my alley!

I died when I saw this! It even comes with a mirror inside which is a huge plus!

Here’s a pic of the makeup look I created with it and a list of all the products at I used is below.

Lots of love, Cristina 😘

Blue makeup look | Sugarpill Sweetheart Palette

Hello Beauties!

I just wanted to share my makeup of the day. I really love the pigmentation of Sugarpill Cosmetics eyeshadows. They will stay put all day, but I find its best to use a primer or base such as the NYX jumbo pencil in milk to make the colors pop.

Hope you enjoy the look! Till the next one Laugh often & Love always!

Red, white and blue Fourth of July/ Independence Day inspired makeup look

Hello gorgeous!

I know I’m a day behind, but I just wanted to share this fun Fourth of July inspired look. Obviously I didn’t go out with this, it was just fun to create a look to go with Independence Day! 🙂

My son also had a blast watching the fireworks at Shepherd of the Hills church. Every year they have a huge celebration and my husband and I have gone for the past 12 years. I guess you can say it’s a family tradition and it was so awesome to see my son’s face light up as the fireworks went off! Every time they burst he would scream “BOOM”! It was the cutest thing 🙂

Hope you all had a safe and happy fourth!

Till the next one, Laugh often and Love always!

Xoxo,
Cristina
