Review: ColourPop Sweet Nothings Palette

Hello Lovelies,

I hope all of you are having a great day. Today I have another eye shadow palette review, and this palette is something that I am loving recently. Sweet Nothings palette by ColourPop came out late last year and it was only exclusive to Ulta, but a month or so later ColourPop introduced it to their website. This palette contains 12 pressed powder eye shadows that include matte and shimmer shades. 

I love the packaging of this palette, the purple and gold together looks beautiful and super fancy. As you can see this palette includes purples, pinks and mauves. The pigmentation of this palette is beyond amazing, the shadows go on super smoothly and blend out easily. My favorite shades are Come and get it and 20 something. These two shades look so pretty on the lid blended out with a matte crease. 

Looking at this palette I can create many looks that are for day and night time. I have used this palette mostly for day time looks and I love how easy it is to apply. Over all I am really impressed with this palette. If you love shades like this, you really want to pick up this palette before its gone. Let me know in the comments below your thoughts on this palette. Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day.

Habits To Implement in 2019

Hello lovelies,

So its the New Year and everyone tries to change them selves or something in their life in the new year. I am one of those people who think that the New Year is a new slate where you can better your life. This year I have decided to create habits that make my life easy, healthier and more productive. These are some of my personal habits that I would like to work on in the new year.

Wake Up Early: This is something that I have been working on in the past month. I just feel like waking up early make me so much more productive and I am a happier person. The days are super long I feel like I can get so much done and spend more time on doing things I love rather than just rushing all the time.

Be Healthy: This is something that I have been working on for a long time. Since becoming a mom I feel like I have just given up on myself. But recently I have been going to the gym and eating healthy. I feel like if I eat healthy, everyone around me eats healthy as well. So its good for me and my family. Being healthy not only is for your body but for your mental health too. I have also been drinking a lot of green smoothies and drinking tons of water.

Keep A Daily Planner: This has made such a difference in my life, this is one of my great habits. I have kept a daily planner for years and it helps me in so many ways. It is so helpful to keep me organized and much more sane. I am always forgetting something, but keeping a daily planner has helped me be more productive and motivated.

Surrounding yourself with nature: One of my major habits to work on this year is to surround myself with nature. Which means less screen time and being more aware of the surroundings near me. So many times (as a blogger) I get caught up in the world of technology. Being on the phone a lot, getting sucked into the social media world. But this year I want to put my phone away and enjoy many other things. Take walks outside (when it gets warmer) or enjoy sitting in my backyard and breathe in the fresh air. I also love keeping fresh flowers in my house, I just love how they make me happy and keeps the house smelling great. Its great for the eyes and the brain.

There are many other habits that I would love to incorporate in my life but these are some that I am working on this year. I hope you enjoyed this post. Let me know in the comments below some habits that you would love to work on. Thank you for reading and have a great day.

No-Buy Makeup 2019: Week 1 Update

Hello Lovelies, 

I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying the new year so far. This year I have decided to do a no-buy makeup. Last year (2018) I have managed to buy a ton of new makeup that I barely use. I have decided to use the makeup I already own and stop for this year. It has been 1 week and let me tell you, it has been going great. I have not bought any makeup so far and I am staying away from all the new releases.

Here are some tips that help me with my no-buy makeup: . 

1. Stop looking at social media
2. Dont click on emails that have the word "Sale"
3. Use what I have
4. Use one eyeshadow palette a week
5. Dont put things in your cart "just because"

These things have helped me a lot, I use to randomly make a wish list and put items in my cart and eventually buy them. But I have stopped doing that and it has helped me not buying makeup. All makeup comes with expiration and I have a ton of makeup that I barely use from years ago. Those are the makeup items which I would like to use for this year. Over all my week 1 has been great, every time I am tempted to buy a new makeup item I look at my makeup and think about how I really dont need it. Let me know in the comments below if you are doing the same or thinking of doing it. Thank you for reading and have a great day.
