#GRWM chit chat and a ColourPop first impression!

Man oh man do I have a lot to say! How is it that everytime I go to film a little mini video that will be "really quick" it turns into over an hour of me flappin' my trap! Don't worry, I've edited it down to a reasonable (ha!) length....

Welcome to my first “Get Ready With Me” chit chat video!

Today I wanted to share with you my first impressions on ColourPop’s shadows and pressed pigments while having a little chit chat.

I’d love to know what you think! Please feel free to contact me:

I received my second Petit Vour very soon after the first since I subscribed out of cycle, what a happy surprise! This month's box was curated by Logical Harmony, an amazing web resource for cruelty free and vegan beauty.

As a newbie video blogger I'm still figuring everything out. Unfortunately I had an issue with the sound in this video and lost a little bit of footage. I did my best to realign the sound, but I hope you all are forgiving if it's still a smidge off. I'm learning every step of the way!

On to the box!

LVX 5 Free Nail Laquer - Lolli | $16

Modern Minerals Mineral Eye Shadow - Cherish | $12.50
