    2 weeks ago by southeastbymidwest Yes it's no longer July BUT in my defense it's only August 3rd so I classify that as winning. If you don't know what I'm going on about, it's time for my July  @boxycharm  unboxing and the review of some of my June Boxycharm products. The past few months I was only doing unboxings and I was doing them so late I was doing them two months at a time. SO the fact that I reviewed June products and got the July unboxing up and it's only August 3rd is a win. Oh and obvs one of the products that

    2 weeks ago by southeastbymidwest Can y'all even at this PR package that I just got from  @pacificabeauty  ?! I don't know what I'm loving more the tissue paper, the bag, or the actual products. I can hear you you asking through the screen, what ARE those products?! The product on the bottom are the Underarm Deodorant Wipes with Coconut Milk and Essential Oils. The spray at the top is the new Coconut Vanilla Underarm Deodorant Spray that is made without aluminum! Both of these are great to throw in your bag, your gym bag, or just have in the car for touch-ups throughout the

    2 weeks ago by southeastbymidwest I don't know about you but as a YouTuber I love seeing brands collabing with YouTubers. I especially love when they do it multiple times. Can you believe that  @maccosmetics  has collabed with  @patrickstarrr  three times, yes that's right THREE! This is part of the MAC x Patrick Starrr Me So Chic set, the lipglass is hiding on the other side of the powder blush duo...it's a shy little thing, that I'm reviewing on the blog and my YouTube channel. I also have some swatches over there as well...not Instagram quality swatches hence their not being on here but swatches

    2 weeks ago by southeastbymidwest We all know that I'm a bit behind on my reviews so lets just get past the fact that these  @klpolish  polishes were released several months ago. Let's instead talk about how amazing KL Polish Paper Snow and KL Polish Tuxedo Mask look on the nails, don't believe me head over to the clickable link in my profile to see the swatches. Paper Snow seriously reminds me of when I use to paint my nails with White Out when I was a teenager...what don't judge me it was the late 90's early 00's I'm sure others did worse with beauty
