BEAUTY | HOLIDAY INSPIRED LOOK with Sephora Happy Holiday Glitter Brush Set

Happy Thanksgiving!

There is always something to be grateful for.

Even in the most challenging times, we can say thank you for so many things that we usually take for granted, don't you think?

Personally I'm grateful and humbled by the increasing support I've received on my Blog and Channel.

Over 100 THOUSAND people have given this little place in the internet their support this year...  And you have no idea how much gratitude I have in my heart.  

As a blogger, it's hard to say this, but I am indeed out of words to describe it.

So, a HUGE THANK YOU to you ALL!

That's said, here's more Beauty & Makeup for you all in today's post... that's why you're here in the first place, isn't it?  And I have a very special Holiday Makeup Look Tutorial for you. AND a demo of my current Favorite Brush Set:  the Sephora Happy Holiday Glitter Brush Set... Yes!  2 in 1 :)

REVIEWS | Benefit 10, Hoola & Sugarbomb Review & Tutorial [ PICS & VIDEO ]

Big Hair, don't care.

Let's get one thing out of the way before you mention it.

Yes, I'm wearing clips all over my hair.  And no, I haven't lost it ;P

Here's my excuse:  

I was in the middle of getting ready for a dinner party I had that same night and trying this new tip I heard about that if you let your curls cool down in its own shape they will last longer... so I just HAD to give it a go!  You know I'm all about curls lately :)

Now that that's settled, I feel you're psychologically prepared to watch today's video!

True, REAL life backstage of me getting ready + more...

I will FINALLY be reviewing and demoing, as highly requested by you guys, the Benefit Cosmetics Box-O-Powders.  I own 3 of them:  Benefit Hoola, Benefit 10 and Benefit Sugarbomb.

REVIEWS | L'Oreal Butterfly Intenza Mascara First Impressions and Comparison with Miss Manga

"You'll never get a second chance...

to create a really good first impression"

~Will Rogers

Granted, first impressions can be mistaken, but they are really important.

When it comes to makeup, a bad first impression can put a product on my bottom shelf for years.

Top drawer is for reliable products that I wouldn't hesitate to use on the every day life, when I have very little time to get ready.

That said, this is my first FIRST IMPRESSIONS video.

And I chose a very highly requested product for this: L'Oreal VOLUMINOUS BUTTERFLY Mascara.

I also documented the product performance and comparisson with an oldie but goodie Miss Manga mascara in pictures, for my lovely readers.  So scroll down for more!

BEAUTY REVIEW | HOT OR NOT? MACY'S GET THE PULSE 8 PC BRUSH-SET [PICS + VIDEO]

Shopping for new brushes soon?  

Here's an honest review you may find helpful, before you spend your money!

I got the Macy's Get the Pulse 8pc Brush Set as a present from my parent's last trip to Miami, Florida.  It was about a year and a half ago, and I swear it looked so pretty when I first saw the set - maybe because I've never owned a complete brush-set back then - that I literally didn't dare even use it for a few months!  But did it live up to my expectations? 

Hmmm...  Keep reading!
