Every new release that ILIA Beauty makes tugs on my heart strings and my wallet. Of course, with their newest Fall 2015 Collection featuring eyeshadow sticks, eyeliners, liquid foundations, and makeup brushes, I couldn’t resist. I’m always drawn to eye products and while I wanted to snatch up all twelve new eye products, I restrained myself and only picked up three.…
By now you should know I’m quite an ILIA Beauty fangirl, so as soon as the brand released some exciting, new products for Spring I quickly snapped up the whole collection. (I have a slight problem, okay?) I fell hard for the new tinted lip conditioner colors but I was most excited about ILIA’s first translucent powder product, Fade Into You.…
After a long, harsh Winter there’s nothing better to look forward to than the return of sunny days and (hopefully) warmer Spring months. I’m always excited when I can bring out my lighter and brighter lipstick colors! I couldn’t resist picking up both limited edition Tinted Lip Conditioner shades from ILIA Beauty’s Spring 2014 Collection, Jump and Hold Me Now.…

I’d been lusting over ILIA Beauty’s Arabian Knights Tinted Lip Conditioner ($24, 0.12 oz/3.5 g) for a while and finally purchased it during an online promotion a few months back.…
As I move to the third trimester of my second pregnancy, parenting my energetic toddler, and attempting to lead a slower, more intentional lifestyle — my skincare pursuits and priorities have also shifted with these life changes. With the little time and less priority to spend (money-wise too) on skincare routine, I’ve discovered that keeping it simple yet consistent is what matters most for me.…
With a personal skincare routine that feels crunched for time as the years go by, I simply rely on trusted products that I know get the job done in the least amount of time and with the least effort. Every so often I find myself itching to try something new— the skincare products from Three Ships Beauty recently piqued my interest as alternatives to my regular skincare lineup.…
While we are in the midst of winter here in Virginia (though not much traditional winter weather), I still wanted to recount the sewing projects I completed during the warmer months of this past year. This summer, I knew I wanted to sew a pair of durable, yet comfortable linen shorts.…
I recently tested the innovative shopping experience from NakedPoppy, a new clean beauty online shop that utilizes technology to provide personalized beauty and skincare product recommendations. (Read my previous blog post.) NakedPoppy not only offers well-known clean beauty and skincare brands, but also includes their own line of natural, organic products that are up-to-par with others out there.…
