That does not affect my opinion on these products, thank you for your support!* You know how we all have a thing , that's probably been our thing since we were little? Well, that thing has always been my hair. Probably hard for you to believe since I tend to focus on makeup, and don't even get me started on losing a good chunk of my hair after having Vela that never seemed to grow back the same. I was born with a full head of dark hair, no scalp in sight much like Vela. I've taken pride in my locks and do my best to keep it looking it's best. To say I'm picky when it comes to hair care products would be correct. Because my hair has changed soo much over the past few years, I've branched out into trying different products and brands in hopes to up my hair game. These empties are a mix of holy grails, new favorites, and thanks, but no thanks(s)! For reference, I have lots of hai...

*I do earn a small commission when you shop through the links in this post. That does not affect my opinion on these products, thank you for your support!* Keeping it real with you, as I tend to do, this isn't all the skincare products I used in 2019, nor did I expect to do an empties blog post at any point. I decided early on in the year that it'd do individual product reviews once I completely used up all of the said product. Revolutionary, right?! haha but of course life got busy and I started collecting empty products (when I'd remember and if Matt didn't throw it away on accident), and now here we are. I used up a lot of old favorites (sometimes multiple times) and tried a lot of new products along the way. I'm happy to say that last year was a good year overall with the products that I used up, but there were some missed along the way. Let's get into the tea, shall me! My Favorites: Derma-e Vitamin C Concentrated Serum ...

Okay friends, I have a confession to make - I have a watch addiction. Well, it's more accurate to say I used to have a watch addiction. It's funny how children change things like that for a person. I'd buy at least one new watch every year and I'm talking about a Fossil, Micheal Kors, or Coach watch to be more specific. They were my babies, my collectibles, a token of a job well done with amazing bonuses; they look bomb and I always know the time. When Vela was about six-month-old I stopped wearing my watches because I was afraid she'd slobber all over them and ruin them. Last fall when we bought our house, I very carefully packed them away and never unpacked them. When JORD reached out to me about a potential collaboration, a spark went off in my mind.   WATCHES !  My first love, how have I forgotten about you? I combed through their website mesmerized by all the unique wooden watches they offer. I knew right then that this collaboration would be perfect for...

I was browsing the Sephora app, per usual, when I came across this magnificent palette. I was in the market for a palette of greens and grays. I want to step out of my comfort zone, eye-look wise, and with spring coming up I figured this would be the time to explore with brighter colors! I wanted something small, without a ton of warm shades, because let's be real - all my palettes are warm toned already! I'm a huge fan of Kat's tattoo liner, but that's really the only product of hers I own. I love that her makeup is never tested on animals - that is something I want to support, so choosing this palette was a no-brainer. I couldn't wait for this to be delivered to my house, so I ran out and picked it up at Sephora the next day! The I Am Divine Palette is a collaboration inspired by the late drag queen Divine, it embodies her iconic look. This palette includes eight shades, a mix of matte, shimmer and metallic shades. I didn't swatch this palette in stor...

Welcome to my very first literal Roxy Tries post! One of my goals for this blog is to review skincare and makeup. I love trying new beauty products and why not give you the tea  as they say, on the new products I try! The first thing I'm trying out is the Shake & Shot Rubber Masks by DR. JART+. I ordered these the day they came out from Sephora. I love how fun they look and I've never tried a rubber mask before. These Korean rubber masks are typically mixed in a spa, but now you can do them at home. What originally drew me into these masks is the cute packaging. I know, it's not about the packaging but these are seriously adorable! I have heard how good their rubber sheet masks are, and these are the second generation of that original mask. They are one-time use for $12 which I think is a fair price for a high-end face mask. They offer four different masks each targeting different needs. I thought I'd get all four to see if there's a real difference between ...
