As some of you may have noticed, my Sephora haul video was featured in Sephora's Beauty Insider e-mail that went out today! I'm absolutely thrilled and honored that they would choose it to be sent out to everyone on their e-mail list and I'm also so incredibly humbled by all the e-mails and messages from those of you who spotted me as well. ^___^

Here is the version that went to my inbox, but I know there have been other variations as well that went to different locations. I was so anxious about it because e-mails and messages trickled in hours and hours before I got it myself! Eeee!


Here is what the haul video looks like on Sephora's Youtube channel. It's up in "Sephora's Picks" as well as "Fan Hauls" and my Pouf & Bun casual updo is in the "Fan Looks" category.


If you'd like to see the original blog entry from this particular Sephora haul when I first got my beloved Naked Palette, you can find it here.

Thank you so much to Sephora for believing in my video enough to feature it, and thank you to all of those who have expressed their shared excitement as well. I have read every e-mail, message, tweet, and comment and believe me, I take to heart the feeling of support from my dear community behind me. I very much feel that this is a big step forward for all of us bloggers and youtubers to get our voices heard by bigger companies and respected on a larger scale.

I know in a way it's just one little e-mail that most people will trash but to me it means much, much more.

I feel incredibly blessed and I do not take your love and support for granted.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

When April ended I was shocked because it went SO FAST and it seems like no time passed at all since my last (and first) Hits & Misses video! I will definitely have to get used to keeping track of the products I've been trying each month so I feel more prepared next time. ^_^;;;

This month I have a lot of skincare goodies that I love so that will be nice for the people who have been asking for an updated skincare routine. I may have to record an actual skincare routine update soon because it has changed a little bit for the Spring weather. Anyway, I go over that more in the video.


Products mentioned:
Cargo Blu-ray HD powder in shade 20
Revlon CustomEyes Palette in 10 Sweet Innocence
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion
Mario Badescu Vitamin C Serum
Josie Maran Argan Oil
Melliesh Lipgloss in 01 Strawberry Milk
Ann Taylor Exotic Perfect Skinny Belt in Limelight
Ann Taylor LOFT Sequin Flower Pin

Do you like how I incorporated some fashion items as well? I thought I'd throw that in there because it really has been something that has been popping into my daily life a lot this past month and in future videos, it may help me keep a log of what trends I'm into that month. It might be fun to look back on.

Let me know what you think!

Disclaimer: Revlon and Josie Maran products were sent to me by the company's PR. Melliesh product was sent to me by Pinky Paradise. I was not paid in any way nor required to do a review on the samples. All my reviews, as always, are 100% my honest opinion. 

Hello my lovelies! I know many of you love jewelry as much as I do and because of this I wanted to share a jewelry company with you called Stella & Dot. You may have heard of the brand before from seeing it in magazines or on celebrities as I did, and they are basically a company similar to Avon in that they have stylists who sell the jewelry and become entrepreneurs themselves. I definitely respect that it gives women a chance to empower themselves with something they already like... jewelry!


I mentioned this in the video that I am selective in saying yes to review products in general but I am quite happy with the quality of products I received and I wouldn't be doing this review and giveaway unless I was truly satisfied with the quality of Stella & Dot's jewelry. I am not going to lie, a huge downside is that it is on the expensive side, but you also get what you pay for in terms of nice materials and there are many gold-filled and 925 sterling silver pieces to choose from. It has been my personally philosophy to buy nicer jewelry rather than costume pieces for a while now due to my metal allergies so this did make me particularly happy.

For those of you who have no problems with metals, Stella & Dot does have a wider range of jewelry at different price points in items that are simply gold or silver-plated but it's worth noting that the items I received are on the higher end. What can I say? My body literally demands more expensive taste (otherwise I break out). Har har.
