Hi guys!

Today I once again try my hand at a YouTube video and well its about as awkward as the last one but we're rolling with it. I have been obsessed with my Urban Decay Ultimate Basics palette since I picked it up at Sephora. I know huge shocker since I'm like obsessed with all Urban Decay everything. I love that this time its all matte and they have some amazing colors! I especially love the burnt orange (Extra Bitter) right now, SO FALL! and I can't wait to play with Magnet, the grayish-blue color, in the Winter. The color selection is so different from any palette they've released so far and I might have to say its my favorite 🙊. I also really like that the palette is square instead of very long because I think it makes it easier to travel with.


Anyways moving on to the makeup look! I love wearing warm orangey eyes in Autumn and I have struggled to find a palette with a good burnt orange shade that isn't like the color of a pumpkin until now! If you want to see how I made the makeup look check out the video below!


I hope you liked this look! What do you think about the Ultimate Basics palette?

See you soon!

If you've been reading my blog for awhile you've probably noticed I talk about lipstick a lot. I mean A LOT! It's definitely my favorite beauty product and I wear it basically everyday. I thought I would create a "guide" to lipstick where I compile most of my lipstick posts so you can easily find reviews on wha I think of different lipsticks.

Look at my LIQUID LIPSTICK COLLECTION to see what lipsticks are my favorite and least favorite!

Hello Everybody!

How are you doing today? ya good? ya not good? let me know!

I have seen so many "my week in..." posting including weeks in food, outfits, makeup, hair. Well, I decided I want to make a week in workouts post. I've been making an effort to exercise more and I even signed up a service called Class Pass that allows you to pay for a certain number of classes per month (depending on how often you want to workout) and you can take any class you want at a studio that is affiliated with the service. They have a wide range of classes offered and even have  gyms on the where you can just go and workout and not do a class. I hope that doing posts like this and using Class Pass will motivate me to work out more because I definitely need to!

So now onto my week!

Monday: I went to Cyc, a spinning studio that has locations across the US, and took a Cyc Lean class that's a full cardio spinning class that doesn't do any arm workouts like a classic Cyc class would. Spin is my favorite workout currently, I go to Cyc or Flywheel at least once a week. I always feel pumped up when I go into a class and even after a class and its pretty hard for me to get motivated to workout.

Tuesday: NOTHING! My legs needed a rest after that spin class!

Wednesday: I decided to use Class Pass to try something new and I signed up for a pilates class that uses a megaformer machine to help you get a better workout. I honestly didn't like this class because I found the machine kinda intimidating and hard to use but its Sunday and my abs she hurt so it obviously did some good!

Thursday: I took a 1.5 mile walk around Boston after work.

Friday: I took a 2 mile walk around Boston after work.

Saturday: I decided to try a new spinning studio called CycleBar outside of the city, closer to where I live. This honestly wasn't the best spin class I've done but I'm gonna chalk it up to Saturday laziness and give the studio another try next week!

Sunday: NOTHING! Sundays are for laying in bed and movies :) oh and blogging of course!

What's your favorite way to workout? let me know in the comments!

See you soon!

The other week I went to Sephora with the sole purpose of getting my hands on the Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics palette. I have been lusting after this palette since the press release in September and my original plan was to ask for it at Christmas but instead I thought forget it, I'm gonna treat myself. And as many of you probably know, because I'm definitely not the only one with this problem, it is impossible to go into Sephora and only get one item which led to this mini haul.
