June Favorites

June 30, 2016

I can't believe we are already done with June, and essentially half way through 2016! I have a bunch of favorites for this month due to the end of the school year and the beginning of summer!

Kylie Lip Kit vs. NYX Lingerie Lipstick

June 24, 2016

A few weeks back I did a review of the Kylie Jenner Lip Kit, and since I've been wearing it a lot I got the idea from my friends and family to do a comparison with a similar, but less expensive product. A lot of Kylie Cosmetics doubters claim you can get the same product for a fraction of the price from brands like ColorPop and NYX. Since I've been going through an obsession with NYX lip products, I decided to purchase the NYX Lingerie Lipstick and do a comparison.

Bahamas/Father's Day 2016

June 20, 2016

This is our family's 4th year in a row celebrating the summer in the Bahamas, and our 2nd year spending father's day here. In honor of father's day, we spent the day soaking up as much sun as we could in the plethora of pools housed by Atlantis (see cool GoPro vids on my Insta soon: @misslaurenalston)!


Beauty Hack: For Whitening Teeth

June 16, 2016
I always hate looking back at photos and seeing how yellow my teeth look or having to whiten them in photos. Dental hygiene is super important, and even though I brush and floss every day my teeth aren't always a white and bright as I would like. Crest White Strips and similar products can be costly, so I found a way to whiten my teeth for free!

A lot of people who use this trick mix the baking soda with their toothpaste to whiten their teeth, and while this works, I've found a better technique. I used this trick on prom night as well as graduation, and I brushed my teeth with my regular toothpaste, then coated my wet toothbrush with baking soda, then used mouthwash. Completing the steps in this order provides the best possible result. 

I like this trick because most people have baking soda in their home, so no matter where I am as long as I have a toothbrush I'm all set! Leave me a comment letting me know if this works for you, or what your favorite beauty hacks are. Stay tuned, xo Lauren.

Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit

June 5, 2016


I've tweeted about it (follow me on twitter) and mentioned it in my May favorites, but I finally got my hands on my Kylie Jenner Lip Kit!  I ordered Posie K, which is a magenta/pink and is perfect for my everyday look. I know that a lot of people want to read reviews before purchasing so today I'm providing you with an in-depth review of my lip kit!
