100% Pure (one of my all-time favorite natural beauty brands) released several new lipstick shades this fall, both in their Cocoa Butter Matte Lipsticks, and Fruit Pigmented Pomegranate Oil Anti Aging Lipsticks. If you remember my post from when the original shades were released, you know how much I LOVE these nontoxic formulas! They released […] Read more…
I’m so excited to be doing Goodbeing unboxings again! The February box did not disappoint. I am eager to start using all five items that were in this box, especially the lipstick and hair mask. I just posted my unboxing video of these natural beauty and skincare goodies on my channel. Check it out if […] Read more…
Nu Evolution is a natural beauty brand that is fresh on my radar! They sent me a few things to try in early January and I am here to report on my thoughts, plus show you some swatches. They have a high fashion style but without any of the toxic ingredients found in conventional “runway makeup.” They care about beautiful […] Read more…
Organizing my makeup collection has been on my to-do list for a long time, and I am finally getting around to it this month. In stages, that is. It can be a bit overwhelming to declutter when you’ve been collecting pr samples and things you’ve purchased yourself for 3+ years. I think I am 85% done […] Read more…
November was a whirlwind month filled with lots of writing (see my last post) and apparently, many hours spent with Netflix and Hulu. I also fell in love with some stellar natural skincare and beauty items. I uploaded my November Favorites video yesterday, but I also wanted to go a bit more in depth about […] Read more…
A girl can never have enough colors to choose from – especially when said colors are 100% natural, vegan, cruelty free and made with all-natural fruit pigments. The new 100% Pure Cocoa Butter Matte Lipsticks joined my little family of lip colors a few weeks ago and I am here to report that I am in […] Read more…
It is hard to believe that half the year is over already! I like to take a little bit of time in the beginning of July to take stock of the year so far, realign my goals for what I want to accomplish in the second half of the year, re-balance. Beauty-wise during the month of June I […] Read more…
May was a somewhat turbulent month for me emotionally… I finally stopped posting on Sweet Violet Bride – the blog that consumed all of my time and energy for the last four years but wasn’t turning a profit as I’d hoped. As an entrepreneur it can be so hard to know when to end something. I […] Read more…
I have been looking, waiting, hoping for the perfect purple lipstick for years. When I saw that Bite Beauty was releasing a handful of new shades in their Amuse Bouche formula (my favorite formula of theirs – see previous swatches here), I did a happy dance – because purple! Taro is THE shade I’ve been […] Read more…
A few days late on this but I just had to report on what my favorites were last month as I have some great products to share with you – a mix of beauty, skincare, and jewelry! And as always, I’d love to hear what you’re favorites have been so far this spring in the […] Read more…
I’ve been a long-time fan of BITE Beauty, and about a month ago they released their new Amuse Bouche Lipstick. A new formula in 34 shades. I’ve always loved their products, but this is the best formula they’ve created thus far. I am very impressed with these! They are very pigmented (you can get full […] Read more…
100% Pure recently launched five new shades of their Fruit Pigmented Pomegranate Oil Anti Aging Lipsticks and they look amazing! I’ll try and swatch some for you soon, but in the meantime they sent four that I already owned so I decided to do a giveaway for you! I also received Magnolia and Poppy which they released last […] Read more…
