COVERGIRL Full Spectrum Eyeshadow Palettes

These products were sent by CoverGirl for consideration. All opinions are my own.

What's better than having affordable and pigmented eyeshadow palettes? Well, that these palettes be Cruelty Free.

A few months ago, COVERGIRL announced that they became a 100% Cruelty Free brand. At the same time, they also released their new Full Spectrum line with new products such as eyeshadows, concealers, powders, and foundation. The eyeshadow products in this Full Spectrum line consist of 4 palettes with eight eyeshadows that have colors for all personalities. The price of each is $13.49 and they are easily found at many drugstores, Walmart, Target, Ulta, and more.

The eyeshadow quality on these palettes is awesome. The shadows are highly pigmented. They are a bit powdery; however, the pigment you get is worth it 100%. My two favorite palettes from this collection are Zodiac and Posh. My least favorite is Gravity; however, that may be because I don't really wear dark shades. Gravity's shadows did prove to be a bit more difficult to work with, but again, that could potentially be my lack of experience with darker shades. I also do not tend to wear vibran colors, but Zodiac made me want to play with its shades, which are colorful but also wearable. If you have to get one palette from this collection, Zodiac and/or Posh are must-haves.

Brunch at Kensington Cafe: Denim Jacket and Pink Heels!

One of my 2019 resolutions is to explore more of San Diego and that's why when Kensington Cafe invited me to their restaurant I accepted without hesitation and I'm glad I did because I had an amazing and delicious brunch. I not only loved the cappuccino and delicious french toast, I enjoyed the ambience and everyone was super friendly. The cafe is conveniently located on Adams Avenue, a block away from the Kensington sign.

I also took advantage of their beautiful location and invited my photographer friend to take my outfit photos. This year, another one of my resolutions is to post more outfit photos. To be honest, sometimes I do not feel as fashionable as other bloggers; however, this year I want to focus on being myself and upload photos and content without feeling pressured to be, or look, like the rest.

Protect Yourself and Those You Love: 3 Open Enrollment Tips

This post is sponsored by Dignity Health.

A few years ago, the Affordable Care Act reform passed, and it required all American citizens and legal permanent residents to have medical coverage. Honestly, for several years I thought that it was an unnecessary expense. My parents and I would always wait until the last minute to re-enroll, and when we did we conducted very little research on the plans we chose. However, that will never happen again. This year, we became harshly aware of how crucial it is to take time to do our due diligence to research and find the best insurance policy for us. 

When my mom– the most important person in my life– became ill this year, we understood that the decision we took at the beginning of year during Open Enrollment was highly important. We learned that we really do have to do our research and find a plan that covers us for what’s expected, but also for the unexpected challenges that life throws at us.  

Open Enrollment began October 15, 2018 and it ends on January 15, 2019. So, if you haven’t yet enrolled, here are three tips that I hope will help you make this process less stressful.

Wide Ankle Boots and Red Dress: Let the Holidays Begin!

The shoes were provided for review by JustFab; however, all opinions are my own!

If you from the #WideFeet club then you know how hard it can be to find boots, or even ankle boots, that fit! I'm sure many of you know that feeling of trying out a cute pair of boots only to find out they cannot zip up because they are not wide enough from the calf, or that they are not comfortable to wear because they are narrow from the bottom. I know that feeling and JustFab has us wide feet and wide calf girls covered!

Now that it's getting cold outside, I wanted to try something new, ankle boots! I have to confess that I have NEVER owned a pair of ankle boots. Can you believe it? I have tried them on in stores but sometimes (most times) I would be afraid to pull the zipper up because they may grab my skin lol. So, when I saw that JustFab had these ankle boots in wide, I knew I had to pick them. These are the Dolly Lace-Up Booties  and I love them. They are comfortable, they zip, and they are only 3" tall, which makes them easy to wear any day!

Here are some pictures of my recent outfit wearing these lovely boots!
