Goose Creek Candles: Spring Favorites

Hello Everyone!


* Disclaimer: This post contains PR Sample provided by Goose Creek Candle. I would like to thank Goose Creek Candle for sending this product for review purposes. All opinions are 100% my own. Product information provided by Goose Creek Candle

I love Spring! The scents are clean, fresh, and fruity. I recently added two candles from Goose Creek Candle for my Spring Favorites collection.


Goose Creek Candles: Exhilarating Pineapple and Soft Linen Breeze




About this fragrance: The exhilarating aroma of a peaceful paradise. This freshly cut pineapple smells cool, sweet and sugary.  

Prominent scent notes:
Top :Juicy Sliced Pineapple
Mid :Sugar Water, Seaside Rain
Base :Soft Lemon, Light Vanilla  



My Thoughts

This candle has me wishing Summer was here! I love the scent of sweet pineapples and the throw is strong. Honestly I don't smell any vanilla, but I do smell hints of lemon. I had this candle burning for about 4 hours and the pineapple and sugar smell amazing together.  This is a candle that is perfect for Spring and Summer.




About this fragrance

The fresh aroma of clean linens flowing in a warm summer breeze.
  


Prominent scent notes:

Top :Light Summer Breeze
Mid :Lavender
Base :Lily of the Valley  



My Thoughts 

I call this the fresh clean laundry candle because that is exactly the scent this candle has while burning. I burned this candle for 3 hours and the scent filled the room so quickly. I love how this candle smells on a cold as well. Soft Linen Breeze doesn't disappoint. I'm definitely getting a back up of this candle!

Lake Murray

Hello Everyone!


My mom and I recently had to run a few errands and she suggested we drive across Lake Murray Dam. When I was little, we actually used to live about 5 minutes away from the Lake Murray. Just because we lived 5 minutes away from the dam, doesn't mean we crossed it on a regular basis lol. The lake is beautiful and it has a view as far as the eyes can see. I showed two pictures in my February and March lifestyle post of Lake Murray. Today I wanted share more pictures that I took as we drove across the bridge.


On the way to drive over Lake Murray


I'm not going to show the pedestrians, but this is the side of the bridge that people are allowed to walk, run. 


The towers


I love when the bridge isn't crowded with traffic. The ride is so peaceful, well once my anxiety subsides.


For some reason this side of the dam doesn't scare me as much as the other side with the wall.


Nearing the end of the bridge


Love Lock Fence.  Just like in France :)


Now let's take a drive across the other side. The dreaded wall side. This is another day we drove across the lake.


You probably have noticed this dam is actually called the Dreher Shoals Dam or Saluda Shoals Dam...let's just be real if you're from South Carolina we call it Lake Murray.


I'm assuming there are no love locks on this side since there pedestrians aren't allowed to walk in this area.


The scenery across Lake Murray on a sunny day is so beautiful


My mom always says it looks like you're going to drive right into the wall. I have to agree. 


When I was a child this side of the dam terrified me lol. There has been reconstruction over the years and this side used to be wide drop instead of the wall. The bridge was also one level, but now the lake side is the higher level and the wall side is the lower level. You may can tell that from this photo 


It may come as a surprise, but I have never driven across Lake Murray. My anxiety has held me back, but I made a promise to myself that I will drive across it this year.


Until next time Lake Murray

Spring 2019 Makeup Haul

Hello Everyone!


It's that wonderful time of year when I do my annual  collective Spring Makeup Haul! There's so many great makeup products out right now, and of course I had to repurchase some of my favorite products. I even received Pixi Products from one of my makeup clients!


- Morphe Liquid Lipstick in Phatty
- Morphe Liquid Lipstick in Virgin
- NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Purple Velvet (623A)
- NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Strawberry Milk (605)
- Huda Beauty Nude Palette
- Morphe 35G Bronze Goals Artistry Palette



I actually purchased this for myself in late January as an early Valentine's Day gift to myself. This palette is eve more beautiful in person. This is my first Huda Beauty Purchase.


- Real Techniques Blend + Blur Base All Over Brush
- Real Techniques Blend + Blur Base Foundation Brush
- Clinique Even Better Makeup SPF15 in Cream Caramel



I switched back to using high end foundation again. I'm still using my Covergirl and Maybelline foundations, but I was looking for more of a natural looking foundation. I think I found what I was looking for with Clinique. Clinique is considered highend, but this foundation was only $29.00...not too bad.


- Pixiglow Cake 3 in 1 Luminous Transition Powder in PinkChampagne Glow
- Pixi by Petra Endless Silky Eye Pen in Black Noir
- Pixi by Petra Endless Silky Eye Pen in BlackCocoa
- Pixi by Petra Endless Silky Eye Pen in SilverReflex

Virbant Eye Makeup for Spring

Hello Everyone!


For my birthday, back in December ,I received the James Charles Palette. I couldn't wait to use this bright eyeshadow palette.  As much as I love neutrals I love bright colors as well. Today I wanted to share vibrant pink and yellow eye makeup look. I know this isn't a traditional Spring Eye makeup look, but I wanted to do something bold, bright, and fun.


I've been on the Morphe Bandwagon for the last couple of months, and the James Charles Palette doesn't dissapoint. As you can tell the shadows are highly pigmented and bright.


I have so many eye makeup looks planned for this palette. I've been into using highlighter frequently. Apparently the natural light clashed with the brightness of the highlighter. That's why my cheeks look so bright.


Happy Spring!
