HELLO I'M NIA, AN ART STUDENT WITH AN UNHEALTHY ATTACHMENT TO SARCASM AND NETFLIX BINGE WATCHING

Let me start off by saying I am soooo sorry I haven't posted in such a long time. If you're reading this and you're in college, then you understand just how hard it is to have a moment all to yourself to just sit and think without having a slight mental breakdown, let alone write blog posts. I could say I'll be better with my time management, but then I'd have to become a stand up comedian because that's HILARIOUS. Anyways, last month I went to Beauty Con, and if you don't know what it is... yes, it is exactly what it sounds like. It's a huge convention where beauty gurus, vendors, and everyone in-between convenes to shop and talk about all things beauty. This was my first time going, and I took one of my best friends Nicole with me. It was super fun, and here are some pictures from that.

For this, I decided if I was going to pay to get in, I'd buy a Pro Pass! I'll be honest, it was mainly for the gift bag, but who doesn't like gift bags?


Once I got inside, there was so much to see. There were people doing panels, like Jay Manuel, Jeannie Mai, Louise AKA Sparkle of Glitter! 

And there was even a #MCM panel for the "Beautycon Boys", who had great fashion sense, and them being easy on the eyes was a plus (L to R: Jordan O' Brien, Luca Fersko, Tanner Zagarino, and Aidan Alexander)


There were so many great booths, and here are just a few!











I even got to meet two of my favorite YouTubers, Maddi Bragg and Teala Dunn! (And yes I did have temporary green in my hair)

 (excuse my god awful expression)

Here's Nicole looking super adorable as always


 And yes, here's the sassy sorry not sorry look at my outfit face haha.


 And a silly one, because anyone who knows me knows I like to goof around.

I want to thank Nicole for putting up with me and coming to BeautyCon, and I also want to let anyone who is interested in makeup or skincare know they should come to this at least once in their life! It's amazing! Also, I will be doing a haul post soon for all the products I bought.

Hello everyone! Sorry it's been a little while, I've been settling into adult life *cries internally* I figured I'd start off the beauty section of my blog with a post about my favorite makeup products thus far. 
Clockwise starting from the top:
-Milani Lipstick (Teddy Bare)
-Sephora Baked Blush Duo (Guava Glow)
-NYX Dewy Finish Setting Spray
- Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade (Chocolate)
-Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
-NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams (Copenhagen, Monte Carlo, San Paulo, Cannes)
-E.L.F. Studio Baked Highlighter (Blush Gems)

I tried to do some lip swatches, but they were not on point so I did some regular swatches.
Top to Bottom: Monte Carlo, Copenhagen, Cannes, San Paulo


 Here's a swatch of the Milani Teddy Bare Lipstick.
 A swatch of the E.L.F. Highlighter
Here's swatches of the Sephora Blush Duo. 

I love love love everything shown and these are the main products I use every day. The Soft Matte Lip Creams smell so good, and they don't dry out your lips at all; the same goes for the Milani lipstick. The blush gives me a really pretty natural glow, as well as the highlighter which adds a perfect finish to any look. The Better Than Sex Mascara is the only higher end mascara I would buy because it actually works as advertised. The Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade keeps my eyebrows on fleeeeeek at all times, and I highly recommend it. Completing any look with the setting spray is a must, because it keeps my skin looking flawless, and keeps my blush and highlight in place for most of the day.
I love finding new beauty products, so let me know what your favorites are below! And if you buy any of the things I mention, happy splurging!  (●´Ï‰`●)
