I joined Influenster several months ago but never quite got the hang of how it worked. So I did a few things here and there-- answered a survey, submitted a couple of reviews-- and, to my surprise, I became eligible for the Holiday VoxBox. When I came home from spending Christmas with my family, I was happy to see that it had arrived...

Two posts in two days? Let's be real, this is a pretty momentous occasion. I guess this is what happens when my days aren't filled with papers... and papers... and papers... Oh, the life of an English major! Today I'm sharing with you a fun and easy home decor tutorial that is especially great for the holiday season. All you need is: Twigs...

After years of nail biting, my nails have trouble growing so I can't usually try these out on my own nail (though the Newspaper Print nails are definitely rockable), but that doesn't mean I...

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! I know we still have a few weeks to go until crunch time, but if you're like me you are definitely needing some holiday cheer in your life. That is why I have thrown myself, full force, into the holiday season. My gifts are bought (most of them, anyway), and my decorations are put up... Well, some of my...

I don't know if you guys have been able to tell... But I love ELF products. It can be hit or miss with their stuff as some of it is extremely low quality, but there are several products in their Studio line that are amazing! So when I saw these cream eyeshadows at my local Target, I knew I needed to try them....

So, it's been a while. I'm a bad blogger; there are no doubts about that. Why have I been away? I actually have a pretty decent reason for that. I had to take a year off of uni because I was suffering from chronic migraine syndrome, meaning I get migraines (headaches on steroids) more than fifteen times a month. During that year off...

The first week in April, those of us that shop at Sephora got a nice little surprise. I reached VIB status last year (thank you, Christmas shopping) and got a card in the mail about something called Chic Week. From March 29th until April 6th, or March 30th until April 5th for regular Beauty Insiders, you could get 15% off of any purchase....

I am a fan of Spoiled nail color by wet n' wild. They have some wonderful, unique colors and they are extremely affordable-- so affordable that I've gone out and bought quite a collection of them in the past couple of months. But there are a couple of things that I want to warn people about when it comes to this polish. First,...

I am going to start out by saying that I am a foundation person. I have acne scarring, redness, and a dull complexion (due to dry skin), and I feel that to be comfortable I have to wear a decent coverage foundation.  But when Spring and Summer come around, I always want to try out something new and lighter. This Spring, everyone is talking about...

I can't lie-- I'm a elf fiend. elf (which stands for eyeslipsface) get a bad rep sometimes because their products are so cheap that people automatically think they are low-quality. I'm here to tell you that is a total lie, especially when it comes to their Studio line. Most of their products go for a dollar a pop. Those are the ones in the white packaging...

My name is Bianca and I am a former nail biter. It started when I was a child and lasted until well into high school-- and, truthfully, I still struggle with it today. When I get bored or nervous my fingers will gravitate towards my mouth and it takes a bit of effort to keep from biting. I tried everything from sheer willpower...
