In terms of beauty, it was a very "laid-back" kind of month for me, since I was extremely busy with wedding planning!! Ahhh! But I do still have some great products that I definitely made use of during March, and I'm excited to share them with you!

REVIEW & SWATCHES | ColourPop Super Shock Cheeks
Wednesday, March 18, 2015liifewithanna
Hello Beauties,
I have been so fascinated and obsessed with ColourPop products - therefor, I'm super excited to share with you my complete and honest thoughts about why I love these products so so much!

I quickly threw on my face today and really liked the way it turned out - plus my eye look did not result in a complete disaster (that's always nice!). Sometimes it's the unexpected looks that turn out the best! Oh, and I'm wearing my favorite sweater from Forever21! It has been a good day!
Face of the Day (FOTD) Breakdown:
- Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
- Smashbox BB Cream (Light)
- Boo-Boo Coverup Concealer (Light)
- Physicians Formula Mattifying Face Powder
- Urban Decay Eyeshadow Powder (Faint) - for my brows
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Urban Decay Naked2 palette (Foxy, Half Baked, Busted)
- Stila Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
- CoverGirl Full Lash Bloom Mascara
- NARS Blush (Unlawful)
- TheBalm Mary Lou-Manizer
- Too Faced Perfect Lips Lip Liner (Perfect Pink)
- Wet n WIld lipstick (Nouveau Pink)

Now that New York Fashion Week is over, I took some time to reflect on the beauty looks that were sent down the runways. Though some of them were all over the place and very dramatic - many were beautiful and definitely worth trying! Here are the trends that stood out to me, and will be very easy to pull off for this spring/summer!

It's that time again! I can't believe February is almost over - but hey, spring is less then a month away!!! This month was all about keeping my face hydrated and healthy as well as a few old & new beauty favorites. Enjoy!

François Nars has created 6 beautiful shade pairings to offer a universal spectrum of hues that will work across all skin tones. You can use this product dry for a vibrant look or wet for a more translucent wash of color. The Dual-Intensity Blush for Spring 2015 will be available March 4, 2015 at Sephora, NARS Boutiques, and narscosmetics.com - then April 1, 2015 at specialty and department stores.

Hi Beauties!
There are so many different products being launched as we enter a new season - SPRING! And although I have enough makeup to last me for awhile, I always feel the urge to try new things! I'm making this wishlist to help me focus on what I really want rather than going overboard when shopping - and I hope it will also help you as well!
Trying to find good quality makeup at a reasonable price can be very tricky - so to help you out, I have put together a list of 10 must-have beauty products under $10. Take notes and head out to grab these items for your makeup collection, because they work wonders! Hope you enjoy!

REVIEW & SWATCHES | TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer
Friday, February 13, 2015Unknown
THREE WORDS: I LOVE IT!!!!!! Now I totally understand why so many girls rave about this product! It's everything everyone has said it would be. I can't believe I am just now jumping on the bandwagon... Better late than never I guess. The packaging is adorable to begin with. And the amount of product you get is definitely worth the price you pay!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS & SWATCHES | Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Eye Enhancing Kajal Eyeliner Trio
Thursday, February 05, 2015UnknownThose of you who follow me on Instagram would know that I was one of the winners of Physicians Formula's giveaway not too long ago. I finally received the product and thought I would do a quick review on my first impressions and swatches. You can purchase this set of eyeliners for $11.95 here, or it can be found at your local Ulta, and Wal-Mart.
And just like that (snaps fingers), January is over! However ... it just means we are THAT much closer to warmer weather! Yes, wishful thinking but I'm definitely not enjoying our weather in the midwest right now. About a foot of snow yesterday, and I'm pretty sure that's not the last of it. On a brighter note, I had a great month of trying out new beauty products, and I am very excited to share each one with you all! From illuminators and blushes to a few winter essentials.
Heyyyy!

Just like every other beauty lover, I've always wanted my own vanity. But for the past couple of years, I resisted the urge to purchase one since I had very limited space and moved around way too much. So if you're anything like me, doing makeup on the floor in front of a full body mirror was the way to go!
However, I caved in this year and had to get one! I'm starting with a smaller desk for now because I am still just in an apartment :( But for sure one day when I have a house, I will definitely expand!
