Hey everyone, how are you?
I know it’s been awhile since I’ve written a post on here, but today I’m re-kickstarting (that’s a word, right?) my posts with an exciting collaboration!
A few months ago a skincare company called VIIcode Skincare reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in trying and reviewing some eye masks.
Of course I said yes! That’s what you’re here for isn’t it? Let’s get right into it!
*Disclaimer-this product was sent to me by VIIcode Skincare, and this blog post is sponsored by them as well. HOWEVER the opinions I’m about to share in this post are my own honest opinions, as always*
Hello again and welcome back to The Suitably Named. How have you been? I just finished my first week of the semester, and I'm already counting the days until spring break. What can I say? I hate winter. So, let's get to why we're here, shall we?
I was browsing Nouveaucheap like I do on the daily, and I found an older article she wrote about reverse shampooing. Intrigued and frustrated with my current hair routine (which has been failing me), I decided to give it a try. I've been doing this for the past week and have been so happy with the results, I wanted to share it with you!
Hey guys! Welcome back to The Suitably Named. So I'm currently on breakfrom school which means a lot more free time, which means me getting hard into something new. That new something this time has been natural skincare remedies. I've decided to start leaning away from most store-bought products, and to start saving some money and making my own! DISCLAIMER: I am just a newbie at this, if you are really wanting to get into DIY skincare/beauty products-do your research. If you add water to any natural ingredients, you need a preservative to help protect against bacteria growth. Also, be careful with the use of essentail oils. These are very concentrated and could cause toxicity if used improperly. Do your research. That being said, I used way too much lemon oil and decided to use this as a body moisturizer instead of a face moisturizer.
I recently took a stab at this whole DIY skincare thing, and made my own night cream. I liked this recipe I came up with so much that I wanted to share it with you guys! It's pretty simple to make-if you can combine ingredients in a bowl and mix them together, you are more than capable of making this for yourself!
If you like unicorns and fairies and pixie dust and purple, this is the makeup look for you. I hope you all enjoy. A big thank you to my OG readers who have stuck with me since the beginning. Love you all. MUAH!

Hey guys, welcome back! Today I wanted to share the details from my latest video with you! I've been doing some controlled shopping over the past month and thought I would show y'all what I got. I didn't take any of my own pictures of the products because the lighting was really crappy, so I'll show you some stock pics along with links to where you can get them!
I just uploaded my monthly favorites for May and wanted to share with you! I also took some additional photos in case you didn't have time to watch and wanted to skim through what they are.
Hey guys! How are ya? For today's fun post I thought I would share with you all my Sephora wish list...it's kind of embarrasing but we can all dream can't we? I'm actually on a no-buy right now so I won't be getting any of these items any time soon. So going on to the website and picking out my wishlist was a good practice of self control. Try not to judge me too hard. I'm guessing if you're reading this, you're a makeup addict too, right?
Hey guys, What's up?? Today I wanted to share with you a tip that made me not dread washing my makeup brushes. Before I did this, I would use baby shampoo or regular shampoo (something liquid), and it would take almost an ENTIRE HOUR to wash them all -___- No, thank you. Then this happened. I was browsing Pinterest when I found a post telling me to try this. What is this you ask? You're about to find out. For this project, you will need:
Hey Guys! What's up? Today I have a post inspired by my NYX Micro Brow Pencil review from earlier this week. In the "before" photos I took, I only had on foundation, concealer, and powder. I noticed while going through those pictures that you could hardly see my undereye circles. It was that moment when I realized that I had found something great, and that I needed to share it with the internet. The best part? Everything I'm using you can get at affordable prices! At this point, you're probably dying to know what I'm going to say I discovered (maybe, maybe not?) so let's get right into it~ What you're going to need:
Hey guys! What's up? Today I'm commin' back at ya with another review. I decided I wanted to review this product because I loved it when I first had it, and then finished it and didn't have it for a while. Now I have it again and was reminded of how much I NEED this product in my life. This product I'm talking about is the NYX Micro Brow Pencil~
The shade I have this in is Taupe. This line also has a Blonde shade, but taupes tend to compliment me better than straight up "blonde" shades.
Hey guys! What's up? Second video-yay! I wanted to talk about my favorite summer blushes because, if you have been reading from the beginning, you know I am a blush-a-holic!
This is limited edition, so you can't get it anymore. I totally thought they made it permanent! Blogger fail! Fleur Power and Immortal Flower are great [permanent] dupes.
Hey guys! How are ya? Today I wanted to do a follow-up of an older blog post I did a few months back on the Wet n' Wild Coloricon Contouring Palette in Caramel Toffee. To this day that is THE blog post with the most views, so I'm guessing y'all found it helpful in some way. I recently picked up the second shade in this collection and have a solid opinion on these products so I thought I would give you a full-on review. We have quite a bit to cover so let's get started-
Hey guys, what's up? Obviously I just uploaded my first ever YouTube video. I'm just a little excited about it. I thought long and hard about what I wanted my first video to be, but I ended up doing an empties because I had so many empty products I wanted to talk about and toss! For today's blog post, I'm going to do a little re-cap of what I talked about in the video with some additional pics. Let's get started!
