I did a little shopping on Ulta.com and picked up some new goodies that were just released and are all the rave right now. The items I picked up are the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina palette, and the DOSE of Colors X iluvsarahii collection lipglosses.
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina palette dropped a few days ago and features some of Norvina's absolute go to shades in bold bright mattes and soft pastel shimmers. If you didn't know yet, Norvina is the daughter of Anastasia, and President of the company that the mother-daughter due have grown from the ground up. This mother-daughter duo has certainly shaped the makeup industry in recent years. They remain very hands on in company decisions and I am a huge fan! They have a very unique and interesting company history, so if you're interested in finding out more about how Anastasia got into the beauty industry, I recommend a quick Google search that will land you to many interesting articles about her.
The palette itself is very beautiful. It comes with its own brush which I think makes the palette totally worth the money. Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow palettes are all around $42.00 and come in a beautiful velvet packagings. I am thinking of starting a collection and getting them all after swatching this palette and seeing how buttery smooth each shade is. I will be doing a look using this palette and will have swatches of each shade up, so check back for that.

Steam has been an important part of my skincare routine ever since I discovered a steam room at my local LA Fitness gym. After my workout, I would rinse my face, apply a mask, and head into the steam room to get my skin dilated and ready for a nice deep pore cleansing afterwards. My favorite reason for steaming is that it's so relaxing. I mean...can we take a moment to look at how relaxed I look in this first photo? It makes me want to go steam my face again.
Every season I change up my table setting. I wish I would have blogged about my Spring table setting because it was probably my favorite setting that I have ever put together, but unfortunately I did not capture any of it in a blog worthy way. The focus of my spring table setting were bunnies and carrots, and I had the cutest bunny shaped napkin rings that I purchased from QVC.
