Hello friends, and happy summer! I haven’t written a blog post in almost two months now, which has only been adding to my own inner anxiety battle since I knew I should be posting but had no idea what to post, and the more time that went by the more I felt guilty about abandoning… Continue reading Life Update + What’s To Come
Hello everyone and happy Sunday! As promised, this is going to be my first post in my “gimmick” series – now more descriptively called “Is it a Gimmick?”. Rather than go into my collection and pull out items that have already been released and reviewed, I wanted to review something brand new for this post,… Continue reading Is it a Gimmick? The Lorac “Pirates of the Caribbean” Collection (Review)
Hello friends! Getting you a second post this week *gasp* because I really think before I start my palette series or my gimmick series (already have the first items in the mail for my first gimmick series post!)

Hello friends! I hope you all had a great weekend, and if you celebrate, a great Easter!

I ended up missing last weekend, though, because of a family emergency.… Continue reading What To Look For In A Product Review
Hello everyone and Happy Saturday!

If you follow my instagram (spookylipsandfathips) you’ll know I’ve been spamming your feed all morning of teasers of my favorite beauty products of 2016. I had been teetering with the idea of making this post with a lot of doubts, because I’m basically a nobody in the beauty world. However, I think this is actually… Continue reading Lacie’s Best of Beauty 2016!
