Hello my beautifuls!!

Really, please dont be upset! I know I promised I wouldnt leave you LAST time, and then I went and disappeared for even LONGER this time! I really had no intension on being gone so long, I just really had a lot going on with our move and attending school! YUP! School! I, FINALLY, ATTENDED A MAKEUP ACADEMY AND BECAME A CERTIFIED MAKEUP ARTIST!!! Arent you proud!!! I hope so!

I know in the beginning of the year I stated this was something I really wanted to do! It took a few months, amidst a move and acquiring my brother to move with us, but I made it through!

I have started my own business freelancing as a professional makeup artist. If you click on my Ella Lane Makeup Artistry tab, you'll gain some additional information! I will have my company website up and running VERY SOON! It is being worked on as we speak! If you have ANY makeup questions or would like to book a trial/service with me, please email me! Let's chat and get it going!!

So, Hubby and I finally moved into our new house! It's amazinggg!! We came from a 1 bedroom condo, so moving into a 3 story, 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom townhouse, IT'S HUGE! Haha At first, it was kinda hard waking up every morning to sore legs! Talk about being out of shape! Now, I'm a pro! Haha

One of my younger brothers has moved in with us for alittle while! I am doing the great deed as a sister and helping him figure out his future!

My summer is fabulous so far! Just working as hard as I can to build my brand and get my company to the top!

How's your summer coming along?!

I do have one request! Please let me know what you would like to see more of on my blog!

I truly miss you all and look forward to checking out all your blogs again! I want to see what YOU'RE UP TO and WHAT YOU'RE CONQUERING!!

XO!

Hey babes!!

I am posting a VLOG that I will be linking up to Lay @ The Next Chapter's Blog. She has decided to do a 100th Post Vlog Link Up which entails reading off a list of words to see the kind of accent you have depending on where you are from! I seriously think it's an AWESOME idea and I wanted to make my very FIRST VLOG this one!! Yayy!!







I totally apologize for my quirkiness and video quality. I used my Mac and I didnt know it was going to mess up alittle. I also dont know how to edit videos and consolidate them like the pros do! I SO want to learn though, so I'll get it right for next time!

Also! Comment on this post and tell me where you think I am from!!

XO!

Hey Beauty Babes!


As some of you may know Sephora is having a 15% off sale, in store and online, for V.I.Bs!! So being that I absolutely loveeee that store, I had to take advantage! 


I have been eyeing the Beauty in a Box By TooFaced: Endless Summer & today I finally purchased it!

• MINI SIZED - 0.11 oz Shadow Insurance 
• FULL SIZED (I believe it's full sized, although it's a quad and it's a limited edition so I dont know if there are other sizes. It looks big to me) - 0.17 oz Eye Shadow Quad in Lovey Dovey (sable brown with gold micro-glitter), Honey Pot (warm gold shimmer), Heaven (matte ivory) and Neptune (turquoise shimmer)
• FULL SIZED - 0.33 oz Sun Bunny Bronzer (satin suntan/ rich satin bronze) 
• FULL SIZED - 0.12 oz Glamour Gloss in Plush (candied coral)
• FULL SIZED - 0.4 oz Lashgasm Mascara in Black 
• MINI SIZED - 1 oz Tanning Bed In A Tube 

Everything in this Beauty in a Box is awesome!

Glamour Gloss in Plush (candied coral)

This lip gloss is absolutely adorable! This Spring I have been infatuated with coral colors and this is just about perfect for me! I have not tried it on my lips just yet, but I know it will look great! Sephora.com states it's an "addictive, plumping, cooling sensation." Whatever it is, I can't wait to wear it all Spring/Summer long!

Sun Bunny Bronzer (satin suntan/rich satin bronze swirled together with my one finger)

I LOVE THIS BRONZER ALREADY!! I just swirled my finger in it and swiped it across my cheeks and fell in love! It's unrealistically light, and satin-y. I love that! Some bronzers are way powder-y and with my dry skin can really feel terrible on. NOT THIS ONE! This also has a light shimmer. It is not matte. A must have for a sun kissed look! 

Eyeshadow Quad (Top to Bottom: Neptune, Heaven, Love Dovey, Honey Pot) All are shimmery except Heaven.

These are extremely pigmented and satin-y also! I havent tried any of them on, yet, but I have already fallen in love and know they will look great!

Tanning Bed in a Tube

I have heard nothing but great things about this self-tanner. First and foremost, it smells amazing! Like coconut-y. Thats one thing I absolutely hate about self-tanners is that they can really smell awful, but this one does not and I am anxious to try it! This is what it looks like on my hand.

It's a tan color cream, that smells great as I already said! I have not tried it yet, but I will be doing a self-tanner review in the future and this will be on there! 

The Eyeshadow Insurance I did not photograph. I have used the EI before it's great! It has kept my eyeshadow on all day into night and even the next morning (in a situation where worked and then went out for some drinks with friends then slept with my makeup on.) If that doesnt say WORTH THE MONEY, I dont know what does! 

Hope you all like this Beauty in a Box as much as I do! If you purchase it, let me know what you think!! Or, if any of you own the products in this box, I'd LOVE to know what you think of them all!

XO!
