hey 2019, my face is taking it back to the 90’s

I guess it’s 2019 and I’m continuing my old habit of not really posting on this site as much as I would like. It’s fine, I never really wrote resolutions anyway. I tend to do my best work on hoping for the best and hopped up on cold presses late into the night.

“here’s to the times we chose feeling over disconnection. freezing over disconnection. freedom over perfection. courage over what’s…

some fave things I brought to Copenhagen

Yes, we all know I bought things in Copenhagen, we’ll get there. But right now were focused on what I brought to Copenhagen. Here’s just a few beauty/aesthetic things that have been baby life savers since I’ve been here.

Tartelette in Bloom

This palette back stateside is my favorite thing but it certainly has a soft spot in my heart for traveling. I can do multiple eye looks, fill in my brows,…

She’s 18 + she’s in Copenhagen

in the pink glow of almost 18

I turn 18 in a week. I’ll be in Copenhagen. I’m spending my last week of stupid adolescence being well…stupid. A stimulating feeling I often missed out on while trying to be older than my years. Trying to be more mature, worldly, experienced. I am all of those things now not because I tried to be all of those things but because I did things and grew naturally.

In the past month I’ve been fired…

OOTD + a lil' life update

OOTD + a lil’ life update

First off, I think I could use these as headshots if I needed too. That’s all I have to say on that topic.

Next, how have I been?

Dress: Vintage | Top: Thrifted

Well, to start I’m very glad that it doesn’t feel like it’s been forever since the last time I’ve talked to you all. I’ve been posting since my last life update in April so it makes me feel like I’m starting to connect with you guys…

*sorry I can't* I'm in D.C. right now.

*sorry I can’t* I’m in D.C. right now.

Did I tell y’all I was in D.C.? Probably not, I barely told people in my real life but I really did go to D.C. but myself in a wildly spontaneous trip that was booked a literal hour after a panic attack and the second I booked my flight it felt like freedom.

I went to D.C with no plan, no one in the city to connect with, and oddly enough not even a hope of how I wanted to feel by the end of the…

new in: facial rollers

Once again, Instagram has tricked me into buying something, but this time they may just have been right.

I’ve started working as a receptionist at a salon recently and being a Venusian sign I’m in my complete element amongst beauty and aesthetics. That in combination with 1am scrolls through Instagram has quickly ramped up my obsession with these facial rollers and today it finally happened.

S…

Bliss | Makeup Melt Jelly Cleanser

I picked up this cleanser completely on a whim from Target a few weeks ago from the packaging alone. With no information on the brand I tried this cleanser out at home and was instantly hooked.

This product(and between you me and everyone else with sense knows is a Glossier jelly cleanser dupe) does a few things at once. If used dry, the product easily removes…

The Penny's Look : a little life update

The Penny’s Look : a little life update

April 2018. Well. A lot has certainly happened since the last time I spoke to all of you. Once upon a time this blog was my diary, where I put my hopes and fears and middle school grievances (Literally). I haven’t done that in quite some time, since 2013 when I started this blog I started hiding my feelings from social media but I’m working on sharing more and becoming more transparent with my…

Influenster VoxBox: Marc Jacobs Beauty

*this is very late and the period to post this is over but I have the photos and like the palette so here we are* I’ll be the first to admit that before this palette I was the first to admit that I thought ‘designer makeup brands’ were a bit of a scam. I was a faithful watcher of Youtuber, Tati Westbrook’s WTF series reviewing expensive beauty products, and her reviews gave me all the proof I…

I’m honestly tired of people playing me on here because I’m dark skinned. Y'all stay reblogging and hyping up basic ass girls giving them so much attention solely because of their light complexions and their 3c curls but when are y'all going to show out for a dark skinned woman? Like REALLY show out? Your self hate is showing.
