Review: Lorac Royal Eye Collection Palette

A couple of weeks ago I got an email from Ulta with some of their new holiday palettes that are coming out. The minute I saw the Lorac palette I fell in love, I for some reason am super obsessed with monarchy and anything to do with kings and queens. Especially TV shows like my favorite is Reign. So when I saw this palette I knew I had to get it. I had told my sister about it and she ended up getting it for me for my birthday last week and I was crying because it was the best thing ever and I was super thankful. So today I will be reviewing this palette for you all.

This is what the palette looks like it comes in one box with four individual palettes inside. There is the queen, countess, princess, and duchess palette and I love it because it is all different types of colors in each.

The back looks like this, with descriptions of each palette.

Here is the queen one it is more pink based. The first color is a light champagne good for a base. the next is a light pink color, next is burgundy shade perfect for the fall season. Lastly there is a black color good for a smokey eye look. I did a look for school with this one yesterday I used all the colors except black and it came out so pretty and feminine.

Next is the countess palette which probably has my favorite colors.  It starts with a  shimmery champagne, the next is a shimmery bronzey color which I love for everyday, then a shimmery dark brown color, and lastly a fun matte teal color. This palette is so beautiful.

For the princess one it starts with a mix between a beige and champagne color, next is a gold shimmery color, than a super sparkly bronze color, and lastly a shimmery dark brown. Super cute palette for everyday as well.

Lastly we have the duchess palette which is the perfect smokey eye palette. First there is a plain white color good for a base or inner corner highlight, next is a frosty blue color, than a shimmery dark gray, and last a dark teal almost black color.

 

---------------------------------

I love this palette so much it is so versatile with the warmer everyday colors and than there's also a palette great for smokey eyes. They also all have darker shades so you can make a day look into a night look with one color. All the colors are super creamy and have great pigmentation and look great on. Sorry I used the word shimmery so much it was the only word I could think of to describe these gorgeous shades.

Love you all and have an amazing week!

CIY: Healthy Cotton Candy Frappucino

I love Starbucks like any other person but what I don't love is their prices and if you get a drink a couple times a week it adds up. So today I decided to try and make one of their drinks myself and to make it even better I made a healthy version. I will be showing you guys how to make a healthy cotton candy frappucino, it tastes amazing, and doesn't take more than 5 minutes to make!

Ingredients: (Makes 2 cups)

-Half cup of raspberries

-Half cup of strawberries

-Medium size banana

-1 Trader Joe's organic mango yogurt

-3/4 cup of vanilla almond milk

 

First you want to cut your strawberries and banana and then just place them in the blender along with everything else.

Place everything in the blender together. The yogurt mixed with the milk will give it a really creamy texture just like a frappucino.

Then simply just mix it all up until smooth consistency. If you want it to be lighter like how the frappucino usually looks just add some more milk!

Place in a cup and enjoy!(: This drink is so refreshing and a good replacement for a dessert or any other type of treat.

Hope you all liked this post it came out amazing so I had to make a post about it. I recommend trying this 100% it's super quick and tastes like Starbucks at home.

 

Favorite Fall Candles

If you were to know anything about me it would be that I am obsessed with candles! I think they are the most relaxing and soothing thing ever. All the different smells I am in love with. Today's post I wanted to show you a few of the candles I have been loving for fall time. My favorite candles are from bath and body works, I always buy them on sale and they are pretty reasonable.

The first candle I have is a B&BW one in the scent Gelato. Gelato is my favorite type of frozen dessert so I think I was automatically drawn to this. But other than the name I think it is a really good transitional candle from summer to fall. It is mainly a sweet scent with hints of strawberry and raspberry. You can honestly burn this for half and hour then blow it out and the amazing scent will stay in your room for the next few hours it is awesome.

Next we have another B&BW scent in Sparkling Icicles. I love this scent so much simply because it smells like cologne. I am not even going to lie half of my candle collection is scents that smell like Abercrombie and Fitch or a really good cologne. If you don't have a boyfriend you have to improvise am I right ladies? Anyways moving along I love this scent because it has a more fresh tone to it and underlying the cologne smell is a nice citrus finish which I enjoy for fall.

Now this candle I chose for fall simply because I feel like during fall time is the most stressful part of the school season. Whether it be SATs, College Apps, Midterms, it really is a stressful time for most people. So I love this stress relief candle for those times when I'm feeling very anxious I like to just light it and meditate for a while and just calm down. It has a minty scent with a hint of some sort of citrus.

Lastly this candle is the only one not from Bath and Body Works my sister actually got this for me for Christmas last year and I believe it is from Kmart. It is the brand essential home in the scent spiced apple. This scent honestly reminds me of a mixture of everything fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. It has a spicy cinnamon scent to it with a good amount of apple so the spice is not overpowering. This one is probably my favorite scent for fall just because it reminds me so much of this time of the year.

Hope you all enjoyed this post I love candles during this time of the year so I had to make a post about it. Hope you all have an amazing day and see you next time!

 

Inexpensive Halloween Decorations

The last few months of the year are my absolute favorite, I may be a little biased because my birthday is in October but I still think it is the best time of the year. I go all out decorating for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. My favorite place to get décor for holidays is the Dollar Tree it is super inexpensive (everything is literally $1) and they have really cute stuff!!

 For my night stand I found this glittery pumpkin that lights up on the inside which I thought would be perfect for any little table such as a night stand or in ones living room the coffee table. I already had this mercury glass candle holder so I just stuck two fake candles (picture below) and I think they go really well with it.

  

As for actual table cover I found this poster and I really liked the design so I just folded it and used it as a table cover instead. It has a really awesome Halloween pattern that is perfect for this season.

These are the flame less candles I used, I love these candles because they flicker and give a really spooky effect to the room when it's all dark.

Here is my vanity which is my favorite part I love the way it came together. So basically I took a spider webby table cloth and just laid it down and folded and tucked it until it fit the size of my vanity. Also across the mirror I drapped this "creepy cloth" over it which I think really ties everything together.

 

 

Then I found these two little cups with pumpkins and flameless candles in them. Also I usually have two baskets on either side with my sprays in one and my lip products in the other. I found these two haunted house looking like containers and just put all my products in their.

 

---------------------

If you want to go more simple I also have another option for you guys. I did this for my sister because she didn't want anything too much. Basically all I did was get some loose leaves (Dollar Tree) than I took a piece of string from home and taped them onto the string. Then I just taped it around the dressed and drapped it over the mirror.

 For everything seen in this post it only cost $11 and you can honestly probably only spend $5 and still make your room look super cute. I personally just like to go all out for holidays, which you will probably see more of in the future.

I hope you all enjoyed this post I loved putting it together.
Love you all and see you next time!(:

My Life in Pictures

I have been feeling absolutely horrible about not posting more consistently. But there is honestly nothing I can currently do about it but try my best to post more. That is what I am doing, today I thought I would show you guys what I have been doing lately through pictures. Enjoy!!

I went to BJs with my friend the other night and it was SO delicious. If you have a BJs near you I totally recommend going they have some seriously awesome food. They are most known for their pizookies which are big cookies that they put ice cream on top of. They are seriously the best thing ever, the cookies come to you hot and the ice cream is cool so it is the perfect combo.

It is still hot as hell in California so you can still go to the beach, which is what my family has been doing. It is colder and windier on the beach but we like to bundle up and go there just because it is so relaxing and a nice escape.

 

By the beach we go to there is a Sprinkles ice cream, that I have been wanting to try. So after the beach we went and I got Smores ice cream in a red velvet cone. Honestly I wasn't impressed the ice cream was WAY to sweet and expensive for no reason. I wouldn't go back

 

I am still into healthy eating, it is harder just because school is in session and I am super stressed but I still try to eat healthy. I tried to make blogilates raspberry soufflé and it looks good in the picture but it came out bad. I wanted to do a post on this but it came out tasting bad so I decided not to. It tasted too much of egg whites so I unfortunately had to throw them away. But me and my sister just ate the tops which were crunchy and good.
