BEAUTY
ARMANI BEAUTY EYE TINT LONG-LASTING LIQUID EYESHADOW
New fave liquid shadow for real and let me tell you why:
I *adore* items that can be for 5 minute makeup and extra glam days too. I use a natural beige tone as my day-to-day eyeshadow layered with eyeliner and some light bronzing shadow for contour. I can also use it as a base layer for more intricate eye looks.
Likewise, the dark brown formula I just purchased can be used as a smoky eye base or for quickly enhancing your 5 minute makeup with a contour crease or on the outer corner of your eyes as a “liner” you can blend out for siren eyes.
KEY PRO TIP: formula dries quickly so if you’re blending it out keep that in mind!
MAYBELLINE TATTOO STUDIO BROW POMADE
Why am I obsessing over this brow pomade?
+ lasting formula
+ easy application
+ great price point
I never was a big pomade fan — I feel they tend to look so heavy BUT this one looks so natural!
KEY PRO TIP: follow the instructions on the product they actually give great insight into best application
ORIBE STRAIGHT AWAY SMOOTHING BLOWOUT CREAM
To start I am a bona fide Oribe fan girl. I will be the first to say I am obsesseddddd with this brand because the quality always hits for me. So when I say *THIS* is one of the greatest Oribe products I’ve tried, I hope its added value it stands out amongst countless strong hair products.
My hair is frizz free, smooth, shiny, and it feels so light.
KEY PRO TIP: apply when your hair has already been “rough dried” to individual sections to achieve the best smoothing effect.
FASHION
ABERCROMBIE VOL. 28 BAGGY RELAXED CARGO PANT
I bought these cargos in color “Light Grey” and TBH felt like an instant win. I was hesitant on sizing because I felt in between –mainly because Im trying to exercise and eat healthier and might be fluctuating weight a bit.
Some people suggested sizing down but I do not find that necessarily accurate myself.
I think the color looks good with nearly everything and the silhouette is trendy. Would buy again and recommend!
FREE PEOPLE ON POINT SKIRT
I purchased in color “Chili Pepper” and would say its:
+ True to size
+ Beyond comfortable
+ I hate the word but its just so true here — its so flattering!
Would 100% recommend!
TARGET FASHION BUMPER MINI CROSSBODY BAG – A NEW DAY
I hate the word dupe buttttt looks so similar to the coachtopia one amirite?
I’d give 1 con that the opening is a bit small for bigger wallets
And the pros:
+ expensive look imo
+ summer aesthetic on point for me
+ zips closed
+ detachable crossbody strap
+ comes in multiples colors styles (imo I like this and the shiny-ish leather one best in real life)
+ great size for wearing crossbody or using as top handle bag
Even with the con? 5/5 stars. Im obsessed tbh
HOME
If you want the luxurious look for less, we have 8 foot ceilings and a small room but this (D23 x H7in) feels beyond stunning. Its a show stopper piece that makes this space feel larger, fancier, and yet the black metal makes it unique. At this price point? Unbeatable deal!
Key Pro Tip: You will have to put each crystal on individually. For me at this price thats still worth it!
LOCAL REVIEWS
BLENDIN COFFEE CLUB (SUGAR LAND LOCATION)
How gorgeous is this coffee shop!
If you’re a big coffee fan I genuinely think you’d enjoy the atmosphere.
If you’re more of a coffee shop newbie like me? You’d love it too and let me tell you why! The barista offered help when I seemed hesitant what to order so I (embarrassed as hell) informed them I usually went with Starbucks premade mocha drinks from the grocery store. Instead of judgement or snobbery they enthusiastically offered an ideal drink for me to try (it was delicious so props).
The shop was fairly full but the outside area was lovely even with the Texas heat wave. Overall 5/5 stars. Im thrilled such an aesthetic, yummy, and quality shop is situated in the suburbs !

You HAVE to try this sandwich you go to EggHaus Gourmet next: the pretzel grilled cheese breakfast sandwich!
It was magical like I’d rate it a 10 out of 5 stars. The aioli was my favorite part I think! I even went back the next day after trying it and got it again
Have you been to EggHaus?

MAC HAIK JEEP HOUSTON
Eddy J went above and beyond to get me my dream Jeep. In fact, the entire dealership team at Mac Haik was exceptional. There was never any attempt at a hard sell, I never felt pushed but instead felt appreciated and heard. I knew exactly what model I wanted. Eddy J worked with the team diligently to find it, to price it competitively, and to ensure that I was completely satisfied right up until I drove my new Jeep home that same day!
Unlike Gilman Jeep where I tried to buy multiple times to be ignored so WOMEN LISTEN UP you will not be ignored and you WILL be taken seriously at Mac Haik and by Eddy J. I felt I was shown potential accessories and upgrades for the car by Aladdin and the actual purchase of the vehicle with the finance department felt smooth and easy as possible. Eddy J has even reached out a few times to since to ensure I am still beyond thrilled with it, and I absolutely am! If anyone asks where to buy their new car I am shouting Mac Haik from the rooftops as the top choice.
FOOD + DRINK
STARBUCKS FRAPPUCCINO CHILLED COFFEE DRINK
My absolute go to when I want coffee – shake and its ready to go! Can be bought in bigger packs to help with pricing which is worth doing IMO. I love the mocha flavor most. Its like chocolate milk for adults.
