New year, new post! Izzy & Liv Haul!

 

Happy New Year everyone! Hopefully your 2021 has been off to a great start! I’m just getting back into the swing of things after taking a much needed break! One of my goals is to continue to focus on supporting and promoting minority owned businesses as much as possible. With that said, I’m kicking off my first post of the new year with another black-owed small business called Izzy & Liv! This was my first time ordering from them and due to the craziness with the postal service it took almost a month to get my package! Check out my video below to see more about my experience and items I purchased. Make sure you subscribe while you are there!

Unleash the Dragun! My thoughts on the Nikita Dragun Eyeshadow Palette!

 So as I was checking my emails, I came across an email from Ulta or Morphe, I can’t remember which one, advertising the upcoming release of the new Nikita Dragun palette and brush set. The palette looks so colorful and amazing which peaked my interest. Before receiving that email, I had never heard of Nikita Dragun. I did a little Google research to find out who she was and I was pleasantly surprised. I figured that she was a YouTube make up artist or some form of beauty influencer in the YouTube world but I really enjoyed watching her story about her transformation and the inspiration behind her palette. I also like the fact that she featured a lot of purple or purple based colors in her palette and palette design. I went on Ulta’s website the day it was released and ordered the palette and the matching brush set. I was definitely not disappointed! My first look was of course one that involved the color purple and the cool swirly color that’s featured in the center of the palette.  I actually ran out for a few errands that day and was complemented on my look. Check out the video below to see the look I created and hear my thoughts on the Nikita Dragun palette and brush set!!

Ulta Haul!! Feat. Marvel’s Black Widow & Ulta Makeup Collaboration

   

First Wonder Woman & now the Black Widow! I was never a huge comic book reader but I definitely knew about the key players, especially the few bad ass female characters ! Ulta has teamed up with Marvel and released a super cute makeup collection from the packaging to the products in celebration of the Black Widow movie set to release in 2021. I snagged 3 of the 4 lip kits and the eyeshadow palette from the collection. The eyeshadows have become some of my favorites already. Ulta brand has definitely stepped up their quality and pigment game! One of my favorite looks is using the color Covert as my “background” or transition color and topping it with Fiery which is a beautiful shimmery golden red. They compliment my skin tone so well and also blend beautifully. Take a peek at my full YouTube review below and make sure you Subscribe to get the latest content!

Sagittarius Shopping!! Buying products from ULTA Beauty based on my zodiac sign!

 

Last month Ulta sent out an e-mail suggesting products that people may like based on their zodiac signs. I was intrigued so I took the bait and bought everything that was on my list. There was a total of 6 items and with the most expensive item being a travel spray for $29, I thought it was an affordable way to try some new products.

Herencia Clothing Unboxing

 As part of my continued personal goal to support minority owned (especially small) businesses, I decided to give Herencia Clothing a try! I learned about them while watching a clothing haul by a Youtuber I follow. When I heard they were based in N.C. (my home state) I was even more excited to support! They carry men and women’s clothing and accessories, many of which represent an aspect of Mexican/Hispanic culture. Check out the unboxing of my purchases from Herencia Clothing, a Mexican-American, female owned, small business!

** Please excuse my half in the frame face through most of the video. I had originally planned to just do a voiceover of the unboxing so my focus was mainly on the product and not so much myself or my face.**

Fall Fingers!!

One of my favorite things about fall is the beautiful colors you can find in nature. Who doesn’t love the golden yellow, orange and red shades of the leaves as they change colors? The season change also brings about a change of color in our wardrobes. Anyone who knows me, knows that I love colorful things, especially when it comes to my makeup and cosmetic items. Some of my favorite fall color schemes revolve around chocolate brown and turquoise along with a nice burnt orange. OPI nail polish comes through with their Scotland collection which features some beautiful fall hues such as deep shimmery red and a bold orange. Not a fan of bold and bright? They also have some nice pinky nudes and grays. Even better, you can purchase colors from this collection on Ulta.com for 6.50 each! If you know about OPI Polish, you know what a great deal this is since OPI Infinite shine polish can run around 13.50 per bottle. For a sneak peak at some of the colors from the collection, check out my YouTube video below!
