NEW Products from theBalm!

I've realized I cannot take a trip to the mall without stopping into Sephora and Kohl's to check out any newly released makeup products. We all know Sephora is (almost) the one-stop-shop for all high-end makeup, but what a lot of people don't know is that Kohl's carries a few high-end brands that Sephora no longer sells (Lorac, theBalm, Cargo...)

This week, I found myself at theBalm stand in Kohl's when I stumbled upon two new products that I'm super excited about!



The BEST Subscription Box - Hands Down!

I first heard about product subscription boxes a few years back and was very intrigued by the idea. I tend to go a little overboard on buying products whenever I'm at my local drugstore, Target or Sephora so I thought subscribing to a monthly box would help me stop buying random things. While I can't say it cured my addiction, it definitely helped ;)

Keep on reading to find out how to subscribe to the best box out there!



Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

Let's start off with saying that anyone who knows me knows my favorite food is boneless buffalo wings (and quite frankly, buffalo-flavored anything.) When I was younger, I would go to Applebee's a few times a week and have boneless wings as a late night snack (God bless my teenage metabolism) and any time I go out to eat, if there's buffalo on the menu, I'm ordering it.

It seems as if the older you get the slower your metabolism gets. Needless to say, I can't be ordering buffalo wings on a weekly basis to satisfy cravings and expect to not gain weight. Queue my new favorite, Buffalo Cauliflower Bites.



Is it worth it? Lorac Back to Bronze Collection

I've recently been addicted to overhauling my makeup collection. I've been throwing things out and buying new products like crazy to try and find my perfect spring/summer makeup. I know it sounds ridiculous, but in my defense, my skin has changed dramatically in the past few months so I really have needed to find new products that work with my newly non-oily/non-breakout prone skin.

Since you know I'm broke, one of my favorite sites to order makeup off of it HauteLook. It's owned by Nordstrom and they post discounted high end clothing, home decor, beauty products, shoes etc. (literally everything) and their "events" update daily and stay around for about a week or so.

A few weeks back, Lorac (one of my favorite beauty brands) was on HauteLook so I couldn't resist buying. I ended up ordering this Back To Bronze Collection which features 4 full-sized and 1 travel-sized product and a makeup bag for all of $20 (yes, you read that right!) I thought this would be perfect to use for the summer, featured a wide range of products and the price was amazing so how could I not?


Beachy Curls made Easy!

As I mentioned in my How to Get Rid of Greasy/Oily Hair post, I was blessed with pin straight hair. While 95% of the time it's great how easy it is to just hop out of the shower and let my hair air dry, there are times I want a more voluminous, beachy look-- which has been impossible for quite some time. I can curl my hair and it looks great but then a half hour later it's pin straight yet again no matter how many products I use/don't use. I've been in the market for the perfect product combo and I think I've finally found it! Keep reading to find out how I get perfect, beachy curls on pin straight hair!
