Pinterest Pinner for Visionworks | Giveaway

Hey guys!

I am excited to announce that I am partnering with Visionworks and am the 1st guest pinner on their Pinterest board titled "Beauty Tips and Tricks."

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Visionworks to guest pin on their Pinterest page. After taking a look around, I noticed they didn't have a "beauty" board, so I casually mentioned it to them and a short while later the board "Beauty Tips and Tricks" was born :) It only seemed right that I would pin to a beauty board considering I'm a beauty blogger and all.

If you don't already know, Visionworks is one of the leaders in eyewear. They have hundreds of locations all over the U.S. and carry name brand eyewear, such as Michael Kors, Bebe, Guess, Vera Bradley, and more. They also carry prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses and even contacts. YAY!

Since I am partnering with Visionworks, I am hosting a giveaway for all of you guys! The winner will receive a $100 Gift Card to Visionworks. Who doesn't love a giveaway? Simply enter below. GOOD LUCK!

The winner will be announced on MAY 18, 2015.

FOTD: Burgundy Lips

Hey guys,

Long time, no see. I wanted to quickly post something since I feel like I've completely abandoned this blog. It's definitely not because I haven't wanted to post anything, it's a matter of not having the time. I have been super busy with teaching and also doing freelancing on the side. I just wanted to come on here and say hey and to expect a few posts soon. :) 

PS- follow me on Instagram if you want to really keep up with me. :)

Evian Facial Spray

Hey guys!

I know it's been a minute since I've blogged, but here we go :)

I received this in the mail a couple weeks ago and to be completely honest I was skeptical about a filtered water facial spray. Like, how great can spraying water on your face be, especially at $12-18 per can depending on the size? Boy, was I wrong. I feel addicted to this stuff. I know it sounds silly and I feel a little prissy when spraying it on my face, but I love it! It feels luxurious and actually Brandon really likes it as well. I like to use it after I've applied my foundation because it kind of melts my makeup into my skin. I also like to use it after taking a shower/before bed, and throughout the day when I feel like I need it. It feels so refreshing and just simply feels good on your skin. I don't think it's super moisturizing but I love how it feels on my skin. 

This is the 5 oz. can and it retails for $12 at Sephora. 

This spray has a perfect fine mist that evenly distributes water across your face.  

I recently got back from a trip to Washington, D.C. and was really craving this spray, but since it was 5 oz. I couldn't take it on the plane with me. Plus, I was kind of scared it might bust.

Overall, I really love this facial spray way more than what I expected. Even though it seems kind of pricey for what it is, I enjoy using it.

What are your thoughts? Have you tried Evian's Facial Spray?

Miley Cyrus for M•A•C Viva Glam

As some of you may know, I am a HUGE Miley Cyrus fan! I was completely ecstatic to find out that she was going to be the next spokesman for MAC's Viva Glam. My two favorite things joining forces to create total AWESOMENESS!!! I've never been more excited about a collaboration in my life. 

Things that make this collab straight epic for me:

• The collection is straight pink. Not just pink, but hot pink! :D My favorite color.
• Honestly, I was getting bored with Rihanna, so this is great timing. 
• Miley Cyrus is on top of the world right now. She's wrapping up her Bangerz tour and is relevant at the moment. She really has become a household name (good or bad).
• ALL the #VivaGlam proceeds go to help men, women, and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.
• It's MAC.
• It's Miley.
• It's pink.

Do I really need to say more?????

I know not everyone is a die-hard SMILER like me, but you have to admit this collab is going to be epic.

The Viva Glam Miley Cyrus lipstick and lipglass will be released January 22, 2015 (America) and February 12, 2015 (International). They are limited edition so you can bet that I will be one of the first people to buy this pair. I just haven't decided how many I want to buy :/

Viva Glam Miley Cyrus Lipstick in Hot Pink (Amplified)- $16, Viva Glam Miley Cyrus Lipglass  (Hot pink with sparkling pearl)- $15. Both are Limited Edition.

Are you stoked about this collaboration? Are you a Smiler? What are your thoughts?

So Polished: Polka Dots and Roses

Hey guys!
I've been getting back into nail polish lately and actually decided to do a little nail art on my fingers today. I hadn't planned on it, but it just kinda happened and I LOVE the end results (thus, why I wanted to share with you! :)) Whatdaya think?

For the base color, I used Essie's Bikini So Teeny. I felt like that was the perfect complimentary color for this look. For the polka dots I used Sally Hansen's I <3 a="" added="" and="" art="" baby="" base="" chartreuse.="" clear="" coat="" color="" details="" f21.="" flowers="" for="" from="" hansen="" i="" in="" it="" magenta="" nail="" nbsp="" off="" p="" pen="" pens="" pink="" purchased="" rose="" s="" sally="" seche="" shade="" shades="" the="" then="" to="" top="" topped="" used="" vite.="" white.="" with="">
This was my first time using these nail art pens and I have to admit, I'm pretty impressed. At first I was a little weary because the tips of the pens are super hard and I was afraid they would dig into my base coat when I used them. I quickly realized that I barely needed to touch the pen to my nails for the polish to adhere to them. Overall, I think they're great little nail art pens and I'm definitely going to purchase more.

Have you been into nail art lately? What nail art trends are you loving?
