I saw Katie of Plus+ Beauty do this post and I thought, “Hey, why not?”. Hopefully I don’t bore you with facts about me.
1. I was born on July 23, 1992..I’m a LEO!
2. I’m 22 years young.
3. I panicked when I turned 20 and cried. It bothered me so bad that I was no longer in my teens. I can’t even imagine how I will react when I’m 30.
4. I have a VERY big obsession with Big Band Theory. I have almost memorized all seven seasons. It’s actually currently playing while I’m typing this too. Lol.
5. I have 3 older sisters. They are quite a bit older than me, so we don’t talk all that often. I actually don’t have close ties to anyone in my family.

11. I’m always been a thick girl and struggled with my weight. It wasn’t until college that I began to appreciate my curves and be less self conscious about them.

It’s Time for a Review…Bh Cosmetics Dark Rose Palette!
Hello Beauties!
Courtesy of Bhcosmetics.com
I have a three day review series coming your way. Each day I’ll be reviewing a product from my Bh Cosmetics haul. I’ll link the video down below, so that you’ll know what to be looking out for.
Today’s post is going to be all about the Dark Rose palette. I wanted to purchase this palette, so that I could try out several different products from the Bh Cosmetic line. This palette includes 12 eye shadows, 3 blushes, and 1 liquid eye liner pen.
Let’s first talk about the eye shadows. The shadows in this palette are very hit and miss for me. I’ve tried them without a primer and I had no payoff at all. They showed up a little better with the primer, but still not the quality that I was expecting. I will say that the matte shadows, which there are 3, did show up a lot better than the shimmer ones did. Another downside to this palette is the lack of transition colors. This palette is definitely not one to take if you can only take one. It has gorgeous jewel tone colors, but nothing to buff them out with. Overall, the shadows in this palette aren’t my favorite quality.
Now let’s talk about the blushes. Unlike the shadows, I was VERY impressed with the quality of these blushes. My favorite is the bright pink one in the middle. It’s absolutely beautiful and it’s matte. The other two have sheen to them, but they aren’t overly shiny either. I’m definitely going to be trying out their blush palettes in the near future.
Lastly, let’s talk about their liquid eye liner pen. I LOVE THIS LIQUID EYE LINER PEN!! Sorry for yelling, but it needed to be said. It’s a felt tip eye liner pen, so it’s great for those that aren’t as great with the liquid eye liners. It gives off an absolutely gorgeous matte black line. It reminds me a lot of my Kat Von D eye liner in trooper. I would definitely consider it a dupe for that product. If you are looking for a new eye liner pen, then I CAN’T SUGGEST THIS ENOUGH!!
Be sure to stay tuned tomorrow for my review of my new Bh Cosmetics Brush set!

Tay’s Favorite Dry Lip Friendly Lipsticks!
We recently had a huge cold streak and it has seriously made my lips wacky. I’ve been exfoliating every day and I still have dry patches on my lips. Since the horrid dry patches have formed, I have been on the hunt for some moisturizing yet pigmented lip colors. Here’s a few of my favorites that I’ve found…
Revlon Lip Butters
I’ve talked about these AMAZING products so much, but I’ve got to mention these for this list of winter friendly lips. These lip butters are super moisturizing. They are also really pigmented with great staying power. These honesly feel like a tinted lip balm, but with the pigmentation of a lipstick. These are definitely a must for those winter lips!
NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipsticks
These are new to me. I’ve always been a user of their matte lipsticks, so I naturally went towards their line when searching for a moisturizing one. These lipsticks are so moisturizing and creamy. They don’t cling to any dry spots on your lips at all. They are quickly becoming some of my new favorites. My favorite shades are Hero and Tea Rose! Go get this lip products now!
What are some of your favorite winter friendly lip products?!? Let me know down below!
Happy Thursday!
