How-To: Clean Your Makeup Brushes!

Hi lovelies! Since my Makeup Brush 101 post a couple of weeks ago, I've been getting a lot of requests to  do another post all about how to properly clean and care for makeup brushes. Cleaning your brushes is absolutely essential for maintaining their quality, but more importantly, it keeps them sanitized (which prevents bacteria and oil from spreading around your face!). Please note that my way of cleaning brushes is certainly not the only way, I've just found that this is what works best for me.

Personal Shopping Boutique: Summer Fashion Under $30!

Hello lovelies! Today I am so excited to be starting a brand new series of posts, personal shopping boutiques! Thanks to the wonderful ShopStyle, I'll be showing you guys all my current favorites in my own little virtual boutique. Some of these pieces are things that I already own, and some are on my wish list. Either way, they are all things that I am loving right now! If you see something that catches your eye, all you have to do is click on the image and it will take you to the site on which the item is sold. Pretty cool, right?

My Best Money-Saving Online Shopping Secrets!

As much as I love spending the day surrounded by products I'm lusting at the mall, sometimes I just don't have the time or the energy to go. That's where online shopping comes in handy! It's quick, convenient, and there are tons of resources available to score some seriously amazing deals.

So today I wanted to share some of my all-time favorite websites and tips for saving money online! With these resources, you'll find coupon codes, cash-back, and so much more!

Budget Beauty: MAC Dupes!

Hi girlies! It has been way too long since I've given you guys a new drugstore dupes post, and this time I wanted to give it a bit of a twist. So I decided that this post will be dedicated to all my favorite MAC dupes! For those of you who don't know, MAC is a brand of professional-quality cosmetics known for its insanely huge selection of colors. Unfortunately, with all that awesomeness comes some pretty high prices as well. Although there are some MAC products that cannot be duplicated and are worth the splurge, I've found tons of great drugstore alternatives to others!

As always, please keep in mind that prices and availability are subject to change depending on when and where you buy. It's also important to remember than the pictures you'll see below are not a completely accurate representation of the colors of these products. So if you see two items that do not look like a match here at all, I promise they do in real life!

With that all out of the way, let's go ahead and jump into everything!

Makeup Brush 101

Hey lovelies! I am so thrilled to finally be publishing one of your most-requested posts- Makeup Brush 101! I think the reason this topic has been requested so much is that brushes can be a really intimidating subject. There are just so many sizes, shapes, brands, types, etc. and I can definitely see how it can all get a little overwhelming!
