Hey guys! It's been WAYYY too long since I have filmed a Youtube video! So I hope you guys don't mind my rusty skills XD. In this video, I'm just sharing how I do a really basic makeup look, while talking through some new products I've been loving. I hope you enjoy :)
Hey guys! I am back after a little break! You guys know how it goes: School starts and I get a little less routine in my blogging game. I am so sorry, but I am trying to get back into my groove. So I thought it would be great to start back with a little review!
Today I am going to review the Carli Babel eyeshadow and highlighter palette. I have actually had this palette for some time now, but I really didn't make much use of this palette up until about three weeks ago. So now that I have had some time to really play with this palette, I felt like I could give a good review of it.
Here's what the palette looks like:
(Excuse the dirty mirror)
This palette is filled with neutral, yet romantic shades. It's a warm toned palette for sure. You get a little of the cool tone with the plum colors and the matte brown, but overall, the eyeshadows are warm. You get 10 eyeshadows as well as 4 highlighters, all for $14. I got my palette from Ulta, so I don't know if it's cheaper on the BH Cosmetics site.
Let's start with the eyeshadows!
Here is what the eyeshadows look like. I will say that in this palette, the shimmers really stand out. I think it's because the focus was on shimmery makeup, which was why they included highlighters. But the shimmers are so much more pigmented than the matte shades. As well, the consistency is much more consistent with the shimmer shades, which isn't always true with the matte shades in this palette. The shimmers, however, have a lot more fallout than the matte shades, so that is something to consider.
Now for the highlighters:
The highlighters in this palette are so pigmented! To be honest, I only use three of the highlights because the far right one is too dark to be a highlighter on me. Even the gold can be a little too much for my skin tone: I usually mix that one with the second highlighter to get a nice champaigne color. But my ride or die highlighter in this palette is the second one. It is so good, and has the most beautiful finish on the skin. It's a little rosy, but not so rosy that it looks like a blush. If you follow me on Twitter, last week I tweeted myself wearing this highlighter. (If you don't, I'm @tiffanychill10)
I will say that the highlighters have a lot of fallout as well as the shimmery eyeshadows. But overall, the crowning jewel of this palette is the shimmers. If you are someone looking for a neutral, romantic looking palette with rich shimmers, then this is your kind of palette! However, I would recommend using another palette for like a crease and transitional shade.
Thanks so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed my little review. If you have this palette, then let me know your thoughts in the comment section! As well, if you aren't subscribed to my blog, then you should totally subscribe :)
Hey guys! I am back with a new video! I am doing a new favorites video, so I hope you guys enjoy :) If you are not currently subscribed to my Youtube channel, please subscribe!
Hello guys! I so excited for Christmas! I actually had another post planned for today, but I changed it at the last minute because I wanted a more Christmas-y post. So I am here to give you some ideas for presents that are on the more affordable side. I can honestly say I am done Christmas shopping, but just in case you are still in need of a few gifts, then I hope I can help!
So let's get started!
For: Dad
If you are in a bind for getting your dad a gift, I don't think you can go wrong with slippers! They are ultra cozy and who doesn't love slippers?! These pair are from TJ Maxx, and they are only $10!! It's a great deal, and a great gift.
For: Mom
So I know the typical gift would be a candle. And while your mom may love a candle, I think it's a little over done. So to spice it up, I chose this set from Target. It is still a candle, but it's prettier and it is a little more festive of a present than just a candle. This is $12.99 currently on Target's website, and I actually kind of want it for myself XD
For: Sister
Now this gift idea may not be the best gift, depending on if you sister likes makeup or not. But I feel like this set has a variety of colors, so even if she doesn't like one color, there are several she could like. But I have chosen this Matte lip stain set from Forever 21. It is only $12 and like I mentioned, there are a variety of colors. So I think this could be a great gift idea!
For: Brother
Okay, so I will be the first to tell you, I am completely winging this one! I don't have a brother, and I haven't had a boyfriend, so my experience of buying men's stuff is very limited. However, I don't think you could go wrong with a tech gift. This is a three in one set from Forever 21. It includes earphones, a dock, and a stylus pen. The best part about it? It is only $8! I am not sure if it's the best gift for a guy, but for the price, I figured it was a good start :)
For: Best Friend
For my best friend, I would get her this cute earring set from H&M. They are neutral and earthy, and just gorgeous. Plus, they are studs, so your friend can always wear them :) And, they are only $10, so it is a bargain!
So there is my list! I hope you guys got some ideas. Thanks so much for reading, and I hope you have a great day :)

Hey guys! I am back today with an obsession of mine! I am known to fall deeply in love with a trend from time to time, and this time, it's with neutral pinks. They are usually named something to do with spice, just because it is a spicy pink, but to me, they are more neutral than anything else.
I love this shade because I think it matches my skin tone amazingly! I love this color on my lips, on my nails, and in clothing! Down below, I have featured my personal favorites in this trend. I tend to use these more than anything else! So I hope you enjoy :)
Milani Lipstick in Naturally Chic
Maybelline Lipstick in Summer Sunset
Sonia Kashuk Nail Polish in Spice It Up
Thanks so much for reading! I hope you have a great day, and I will see you guys tomorrow!
So I have a new video, and this one is all about products I have used up! I have been collecting (hoarding) these items for a couple months for the sake of this video, so I went ahead and filmed it! I hope you enjoy :)
Thanks so much for watching, and I will see you guys tomorrow!
Hello guys! As you may or may not know, I have oily skin. I normally like having oily skin, because of its natural glowing look. But there are times when I can tell my face looks like a slip and slide. So when that happens, I have my trusty blotting sheets! So today I wanted to talk about why I love blotting sheets! I hope you enjoy :)
Blotting sheets are used for when your face, or any part of your body really, gets oily. Blotting those areas gets rid of excess oils and helps to make it look more natural and matte. I go through like 5 in one sitting because of how oily I am. But really that could be less if you happen to only get oily in your T-zone, or you catch it before it looks really gross. I happen to never catch it until I look gross, so that's why I go through so many! XD
What I love most about blotting sheets is that they are relatively inexpensive! I got one set from Ulta for like $3, and the other set at Marshall's for like $2. They are usually inexpensive, and can really help a look.
Blotting sheets are amazing if you have combination to oily skin. If you are more dry, you probably will never need these. But I know that some people get oily in their T zone only, so this is still perfect for you! I make sure to always keep a pack in my purse because you never know when the oils will attack your face.
Thanks so much for reading, and I hope you found it informative. Stay tuned for tomorrow's post, because it's gonna be a good one :)
