Easter Essentials


Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays! I have so many fond memories with my family.  After church we would have brunch at a local country club that brought in petting zoo animals, so after eating you could go on the patio and play with cute bunny rabbits and baby sheep.  It was a tradition and after moving to the city last year, Easter is just not quite the same.  Not only for the lack of petting zoos in the area, but also because I am so far from my family and don't get time off to travel home.  Luckily I have a few beauty essentials to help get me in the Spring mood. They are perfect for an Easter brunch with friends! 

Topshop Lipstick - To be honest, I bought this lipstick because of the cute packaging.  But I also love the vibrant pink color, y'all know I can't resist a bold lip! The lipstick is actually great quality and I've found that the color lasts for a decent amount of time.  It goes on a bit matte so I typically put a little clear gloss over it.  Pictured is the color "Brighton Rock" which doesn't seem to be available anymore - but the link goes to a similar hot pink shade, "Lips in Legend" that is very close to mine! 

Essie Nail Polish - "Bikini So Teeny" is one of my all time favorite Essie colors! The pretty light blue color instantly lets me know it's Spring! And it has just the right amount of shimmer to it. This is a color I can rock now and all through summer!


Batiste Dry Shampoo - I looooove dry shampoo! Batiste is one of my favorites, I like the original scent but they have several other options! It's perfect for days you need to add a little oomph to your 'do or for lazy Sunday mornings.  I've also found it really helps make my curls last throughout the day! 


Roses de Chloe Perfume - I got this perfume for Christmas and it is one of my new favorites! The light scent smells like a beautiful bouquet of roses and easy to transition from day to night.  With notes of fresh cut roses, magnolia, and amber, it's the perfect Spring scent - everyone will be asking what you're wearing!

August Favorites


I have always loved makeup, I have so much fun trying new things and testing out different products. These are some of the products I have loved in the month of August!




I love lipstick and wear it almost everyday. The Clinique lipstick was actually a free gift my mom got, I have loved it – it’s a darker red, but not too dramatic, and it looks good with my fair skin.  The Clinique Chubby Stick is something I have purchased many times. It provides a natural red lip and feels like Chapstick.  It's so easy and comfortable I wear it almost every day.

I have really enjoyed the Too Faced Natural Eyes Palate, the colors are great.  It comes with look ideas, you can follow their design or mix and match the colors to create your own; either way it’s a great staple palate.  Plus it’s small so it is much easier to travel with, as opposed to the Naked palates.

Essie nail polish is my favorite, I love to wear fun colors on my nails.  Bikini So Teeny is a gorgeous baby blue color with a hint of sparkle and Turquoise and Caicos is a beautiful aqua color, perfect for the beach!

I finally caved and got the Nars Orgasm blush. Ohmygoodness I love it.  It looks a bit scary at first (it is much brighter in real life) but as soon as you put it on you get a gorgeous flush that looks so natural.  I love it, highly pigmented, long lasting, and it looks great on all skin tones!
