Hey Guys, 
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the ColourPop Bare Necessities Palette! I originally wasn't going to purchase this because I have a ton of ColourPop palettes and a million neutral  palettes. However, my friend Molika picked it up and told me I needed it! I purchased it during a sale back in December or January and am ready to share my thoughts. Keep reading to learn more about this palette, see swatches, and if I recommend it!

Hey Guys,
Since I created a Best of Beauty 2019 I decided to do a dedicated fashion edition as well. You can check out my Best of Makeup 2019 here and Best of Skincare 2019 here. On to the fashion! Below I will be discussing both specific items as well as trends that I was loving in the past year. There were some standout products/trends that I loved and decided to narrow the list down to things that I was OBSESSED with this past year. Keep reading to hear about the fashion pieces and trends that I was loving in 2019!

Michael Kors Dome Crossbody Bags

Over the years I have become a big fan of Michael Kors handbags. I own a handful of larger bags but I definitely feel like these dome bags are my favorite. I got one of my bags at TJ Maxx, one at the Michael Kors outlet, and one off Poshmark. Even though I carry around a larger bag during the week, I always switch over to these small dome crossbodys on the weekend. They are small enough that they are not a pain to carry but large enough to fit all the essentials plus some. They are perfect for running errands, exploring different places, going out to dinner, or out to bars/clubs. Prior to discovering these crossbodys, I used to use wristlets when I went out to dinner or for drinks because I hated having to carry around a big bag. The negative side of wristlets are that they are small and you can only fit so much in them. You also still have to carry it around your wrist which can get heavy if you have your phone in there. I can be hands free with these crossbodys and they allow me to fit everything from my phone, money/cards, makeup, medicine, my cell phone, and even a small wallet! I am obsessed with these and will be taking one to Italy as my main purse I will use on my trip.

Hey Guys,
Today I will be sharing the January edition of Beauty Box Throw Down. In this review I will be sharing what I got in both my BoxyCharm and my Ipsy Glam Bag Plus. Since I am signed up for BoxyLuxe I will only be doing these when I get both boxes that are comparable in price. Beauty Box Throw Down is very similar to the regular reviews that I do where I show the products, link the products, share my thoughts, and the box total value. However, the difference with this is that I will also let you guys know which box that I think is a better value. So lets jump right in!
