Subscription: Hello Waffle’s Visage Box- June 2015

Hey friends!

How’s your Saturday?

I’m working on a paper right now, but I knew I had to get this post up. I’ve seriously been finishing it for about two weeks, and for various reasons it never got completed. BUT. I do not give up! So here I am today with a very belated review of Hello Waffle’s June Visage Box. Better late than never. Sure!

The difficulty of getting this post finished made me reflect on the way I’ve been writing some of these reviews, and I may be changing the way I do them soon. I’m open to your thoughts, so more musings on this near the end of the post.

But for now: makeup!

Subscription Saturday: Glamour Doll Eyes’ June OTM

Hey friends!

How are you today? I’m over here getting ready to go to this place that shows moving pictures about dinosaurs. I believe they call it the “movie theater.” I once went to one, but it was so long ago, I’ve forgotten. I’ll let you know if the moving pictures were any good!

In my absence, please enjoy this thoroughly overdue review of the Glamour Doll Eyes’ June OTM!

Subscription Saturday: Aromaleigh Ephemera Box-June 2015

Hey friends!

How are you guys? I’m sorry I missed Happy Hour yesterday. I ended up binge watching Orange is the New Black and I have zero regrets about that. As I’ve stated like 60490 times, this summer is bananas for me and sometimes it’s just awesome to be lazy.

But today, it’s on! I’m swatching, and writing, and editing, and taking pictures, and writing grad school papers, and being super productive in general. (Note the priority of the grad school paper writing.) And as part of my productivity, I’m here with Aromaleigh’s June Ephemera Box, and it is swoon-worthy this month. Swoon-worthy!

So check it out!

Subscription Sunday: Kiss My Sass’ Lip Addicts Anonymous- June 2015

Hey friends!

I bet you thought I wasn’t going to post today! I almost thought that too! I got caught up writing a 10 page paper, and completely forgot! However, I am here, and I have Kiss My Sass’ Lip Addicts Anonymous Monthly to share!

(Also “anonymous” is apparently a very hard word for me to spell. Just FYI. I haven’t used it in my paper once.)

So check it out!

Subscription Sunday: Hello Waffle’s Visage Box-May 2015

Hey friends!

Sorry for my absence lately, you’ll never believe this, but I’ve been kinda busy. I started summer school this week, celebrated my birthday, started my summer internship, and I’m wrapping up my old job and moving into my new job!!

Due to this general wackiness, I’ve got one more post planned for tomorrow and then I’ll be taking a week off from blogging to catch my breath and get settled into all the new things I’ve got starting up this summer.

Anyway enough life events, let’s check out the Hello Waffle May Visage Box!

EOTD/BOTD: Shiro’s I Loved a Maid

Hey friends!

How’s your week going? Do you need a duochrome in your life? I thought so.

Today’s EOTD/BOTD features one of my favorite Shiro eye shadows, I Loved a Maid, and the Blue Moon Horchata Ale that I’ve been yearningggggg for weeks to try now. So it’s very interesting, is what I’m saying.

Check it out!

EOTD/BOTD: So Quiche!

Hey friends!

Sorry if posts have been coming out a bit slower these past few days. I’ve been working on a few things behind the scenes and I’m slowly but surely catching up.

In other news: We’re halfway through the week! I needed glitter in my life today, so I thought I would revisit an old favorite for today’s EOTD: Colourpop’s So Quiche! (And by old I mean I bought this shade like 9 months ago. But still.)

For the Beer of the Day, I decided to switch it up. I’ve been drinking a lot of light, warm weather beers lately, but I felt it was time to get back to one of my favorites: a coffee porter, and Ballast Point’s Victory at Sea seemed perfect for this cause.

So check out EOTD/BOTD!

EOTD/BOTD: Freesia and Gnarly Wine

Hey friends!

How’s your Wednesday? I’m done with class for two weeks, which is perfect timing because I have so much stuff to share with you on the blog. (Also I have books, TV shows, movies, and people to catch up with. It’s like I get my life back for two weeks and I HAVE TO LIVE IT UP.)

Anyway, I’m wrapping up my adventures with Dawn Eyes Cosmetics this week with a lovely purple eye and scoping out a budget Barley Wine by Laguintas!

Check it out!

EOTD/BOTD: Sugared Ginger and Grand Cru

Hey friends!

How are you guys?

It’s the end of the semester for me, and I’m going out of town this weekend, and ha, I still work full time, and I just bought a car, so this is me:

I can’t tell if it’s good or bad that I strongly identify with Leslie Knope.

So before I fall asleep on the keyboard, let’s check out this week’s Eye of the Day and Beer of the Day! I’m featuring a lovely metallic color from Dawn Eyes and a beer from a brewery that I just got to visit, Real Ale Brewing Company’s Grand Cru.

Away we go!

EOTD/BOTD: Blue Sky, Green Grass

Hey friends!

Hope Wednesday is treating you well!

I’m still working through my new Dawn Eyes Cosmetics order, and I’ve got a gorgeous Springy shade to share with you. It’s a lazy girl Spring #EOTD that requires next to no blending or special skills. Perfect for when you would rather be boating or laying in grass or whatever Spring activity you prefer.

Also I have Chimay Grande Reserve to review. Which honestly, is more of me waxing poetic and gushing love, than a true review. Because it’s Chimay Grande Reserve.

So check it out!
