I’m so excited for this eyeshadow palette! I’ve been using the Naked and Naked 2 (my favorite) palettes forever and I still haven’t hit pan on most of the colors. But I’ve also been looking for a new, more compact palette with some nice neutrals that I could switch things up with. I was really eying the Rainforest of the Sea palette for some time, but I kept seeing mixed reviews. Ultimately I decided on this beautiful Tartelette In Bloom palette by Tarte. Here’s my first look of the eyeshadows:

Flowerbomb has been my favorite fragrance for years. I absolutely love the scent and smelling it makes me happy. I was excited to see that there was a flower bomb oil that can be used to layer the scent or help to make the fragrance last longer. Here’s my review of the Flowerbomb Precious Oil by Viktor & Rolf.

Winter is almost here! I love the change in season and the cooler weather. In the winter, I do my night time routine a little differently. With it getting darker earlier and the cold, dry air, I’ve switched it up a little. Here’s a look at my winter night time routine:

Sephora sent out an email for $25 off when you spend $50 for VIB Rouge and with that, I bought this Makeup Forever Pro Fusion highlighter. I’ve been using the highlighter for almost two weeks now so I thought I’d do a quick review for anyone considering it.

Essie has launched a new range of gel nail polish — Essie Gel Couture — and I love Essie so I wanted to give it a try. These gel polishes don’t need a UV or LED lamp to set the color and they’re supposed to last up to 14 days. With so many pretty colors to choose from, I decided to try it out and see how these gel nails hold up.

fitbit charge hr band breaks strap broken muffinchanel This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. See Disclosures here

It had been about a year since I first got my Fitbit Charge HR as an upgrade to my Fitbit Flex when the Charge HR strap broke! 🙁 Sad day. My Fitbit Charge HR breaks and I couldn’t wear it anymore; it was terrible. I had actually been having issues with the Fitbit syncing fully as well, but the band can’t do any good if I can’t wear it.

If this year is like years past, Sephora will be having their 15% off Spring Sale for VIB Rouge in the next few weeks. — UPDATE: VIB Rouge 15% off event is April 7th through 13th (online promo code: ROUGENOTE).

The Unicorn Horn bubble bar is back this year as part of the Lush 2016 Valentine’s Day collection. I really loved the Unicorn Horn last year in its 2015 debut — so much that I made my own DIY Unicorn Horns! When I saw that they were back this Valentine’s Day, I picked one up at Lush.
