New Hair

Hi Everyone,

I have always had thin fine hair and I hated it. I had bald spots in my hair. So I went to the hair salon different location to where I usually get my hair done and I had a free consultation. The hair extensionist told me to get hair extensions. So the next day I got hair extensions. Let me tell you, it did hurt my head so much for a couple of days. I have very sensitive scalp. It still hurts my head but she told me that it will for a week. The price of beauty you pay. I made a YouTube video on my new hair. Here it is: https://youtu.be/fELqrQdL0TU. Enjoy!

Mini Sephora Haul

Hello Everyone,

During this week, I went to Sephora. I haven’t been to a Sephora in like a year because they don’t do curbside pick up. That is why I go to Ulta. But I really wanted something from Sephora that Ulta does not carry. I purchased the Anastasia Beverly Hills Iced Highlighter. I have the Anastasia Beverly Hills Amrezy one and it’s my favorite highlighter. That one is so old though. It’s from 2013. But I will never get rid of it. I want them to make more of it. But they discounted it. Anyways, I did try out the new highlighter and i had to apply it on my face multiple times if I want to notice it. The Too Faced Diamond one I had to do the same. If you have medium skin tone, then it would be noticeable for you. It’s not a bad highlighter. I love the packaging. I would give it an 8 out of 10. The next one is Selena Gomez Rare Beauty Lip Gloss in Nearly Mauve. It’s a gorgeous mauve shade. I love the mauve shades. This one isn’t long lasting though. But a lot of lip glosses aren’t. I was going to purchase the liquid lipsticks but I didn’t like the shades that they had. I wish that they had more shades. Anyways, the lip gloss is my favorite. I would give it an 8 out of 10. What’s your favorite highlighter and lip gloss that you always wear? Let me know.

These are the makeup products that I purchased.

Happy Halloween

Hello Everyone,

Happy Halloween! This year, Halloween is so boring. No one is free to hangout and it made me upset and hurt. I hate to vent on here. But I have to be honest and share how I feel like people have their own groups of friends and they hang out with them. I feel like I am in high school all over again where I feel left out. I am 30 years old and I still feel like that. Please if someone feels like that please invite that person to hangout with them. We need to stop acting like we are in high school where we can’t hangout with each other. I get that we are in a pandemic but if your hanging out with someone then you can include one more person. Its not that hard to include one more person in your group of friends who you are hanging out with. Leaving someone out is immature, rude and not right at all. We are mature adults who should include one person to hangout with them. That’s my vent for today. Also, please be nice, friendlier and never leave anyone out from your group.

Thank you,

Nicole

Before I was Blogger and Youtuber: My Life

Hello Everyone,

I know that I have never done a post about my private life. I am a very private person. I might make a video on this soon. I haven’t told a lot of people what I am going to discus with you all. When I was a baby till high school, I was anorexic. I looked like a 10 year old when I was 15. Being short, didn’t help either. I was bullied in middle school and in high school because of what I looked like. I was a dancer till after college. I thought being skinny was okay. I was born prematurely. I was supposed to be born in a month over what my birthday is now. My birthday is in December. I didn’t eat when I was in middle school and high school because I was a dancer and I thought that dancers don’t eat and I wanted to be a model . I remember that I would look at magazines of models and I thought to myself if they don’t eat then I shouldn’t either. I now know that I was wrong. Also, I was bullied and harassed because of what I looked like and it didn’t help. I didn’t have that many friends. I didn’t like what I looked like. When I was bullied I was upset, lonely, hurt and I didn’t want to go to school. I think that we should not bully each other. We all should be nicer, friendlier and be there to one another. I recovered from my eating disorder because I got help. I know that people are afraid to get help but trust me it’s good to seek help. I am now happy and I wanted to let you all know who are suffering that you are not alone. You will get through this. Having a good support system is what we need also. If I recovered from this eating disorder, then so can you. You can do it! Never give up your dreams. You can recover. I know that you can. Please remember that you only have one life make it the best.

That’s it for this post.

Mini Nordstrom and Ulta Haul

Hello Everyone,

A couple of weeks ago, I went to Nordstrom and Ulta and I bought some makeup products. I love shopping at these places. The first item that I purchased is the Dior Maximizer Triple Volume Plumping Lash Serum. I have used it in the past and it’s my favorite lash serum ever. I love how it makes my lashes grow longer, have more volume and it does not clump. I would give this one an 9 out of 10. The next one is the It Cosmetics Airbrush Powder Wand. It’s my favorite brush. I love how the bristles are fluffy. I love a good fluffy brush. It blends so well when I apply bronzer on my face. I would give it an 9 out of 10. The next makeup product is the mini Hoola Benefit bronzer. I purchased the bronzer because it’s the OG of the bronzers. I love a good affordable bronzer and this one does not disappoint. It does not make my skin look orange. A lot of bronzers do. This one is long lasting. It gives my skin a nice tanned look. It’s affordable which is a plus. I would give this one an 9 out of 10. The last item that I purchased is the Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil. I love this brow pencil. It’s long lasting on my brows. It gives my brows a nice natural look. I bought the big size of it and it has a spooli. I love how it has that. I bought the travel size of this one and it didn’t come with that. I got so many compliments on my brows of how good they look and its all because of this brow pencil. I would give it an 9 out of 10. That’s it for this post.

This is how well I did my eye makeup on this day. Notice how the brows look so good because of the brow pencil.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

My New Haircut

Hello Everyone,

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to cut my hair. I knew that I wanted it to be not so short. Before, my hair was so long and it would get stuck in everything. So I decided to cut it because my ends were damaged also. So I cut it not so short. It’s easy for me to maintain. I will share with you all my Youtube video of what my hair looks like. I thought I wrote it on here what my new hair cut looks like but I guess I didn’t, I am so sorry. Here is the link to my YouTube video: https://youtu.be/cazmapeAQh0.

First Impressions in the Marc Jacobs At Lash’d Lengthening and Curling Mascara

Hello Everyone,

I purchased this mascara along with the Sol Del Janiero Brazilian Crush Body mist, online at Sephora. I applied the Marc a Jacobs At Lash’d Lengthening and Curling Mascara Mascara on my lashes, yesterday and today. I have to say it did make my eyelashes thicker, have more volume and it did curl them. I was so impressed by this one. It did not clump which is good because a lot of mascaras will clump. I do love the gold and black packaging and the wand. I do not usually wear mascara on my lashes, because when I 21 years old, I got lasik eye surgery. Ever since then my eyes have been so sensitive and a lot of mascaras will irritate them. This one does not irritate my eyes. It is waterproof also. I would give this one an 9 out of 10 it’s that good of a mascara.

First Impressions on the Sol del Janioro Brazilian Crush Body Mist

Hello Everyone,

Last week, I purchased online on Sephora’s website the Sol del Janioro Brazilian Crush Body Mist. One fellow blogger raved about this one so I decided to try it out myself. It’s supposed to smell exactly like the Bum Bum cream, which I have never ever used. I bought the travel size of this one but they gave me the big one. Anyways, to me it smells like I am on a tropical vacation on a beach drinking piñata coladas. It smells like coconuts. I love that smell. I feel so happy when I smell like that. It puts me in a good mood. At first, I didn’t think that it would be long lasting but it is. I applied it to my arms in the morning and it lasted me till the evening when I took a shower. I was sweating throughout the day and it did not budge. I was so happy that it lasted me that long and when I was sweating. This mist might be my signature scent. I will be wearing it in the winter time as well because why not. The scent puts me in a good mood. I would give it an 9 out of 10 it’s that good of a body mist. Thank you guys so much for reading this blog post. Have a great Saturday night!

That’s what the bottle looks like. I love the packaging.

Review on the Grande Cosmetics Shampoo and Conditioner

Hello Everyone,

I recently purchased the Grande Cosmetics Shampoo and Conditioner. I have purchased the lash serum numerous times because it’s my favorite. Anyways, one of my favorite bloggers raved about it so I decided to try the shampoo and conditioner. I have oily, greasy hair. I have noticed that this one does make my hair feel oily. I use a dime of it and massage it into my hair and it’s still feels greasy. If you have dry hair I would recommend this one. My hair is also fine, thin and straight. It smells amazing. It smells like a perfume. I have tried to only use the shampoo and it does make my hair oily. I always have oily hair. If you have really dry hair then this shampoo and conditioner is for you. It’s 40 dollars altogether but if you want to try out just the shampoo then that is 20 dollars on Grande Cosmetics website. It’s not on Ulta’s or Sephora’s website. I would suggest trying out the shampoo to see if you like it then purchasing the conditioner. I wish that they would have a travel size of this one because then if I did not like it, then I am not out the money. I would give this one an 4 out of 10 for me. That’s it for this honest post.

Have a great day,

Nicole
