Impulse Buy Monday: NYX Love in Florence Ciao Bella Eyeshadow Palette

Happy Monday...err Tuesday! It's my busiest time of year at work, and unfortunately I'm struggling to find time to blog lately. But have no fear, my blog is never far from my mind and I will post every spare moment! But all that's besides the point, today I'm reviewing a true impulse buy that I picked up a few weeks ago on clearance at Ulta. They were getting rid of some products to make room for new goodies, so I got the NYX Love in Florence Ciao Bella eyeshadow palette for a steal!

Happy Birthday to CKellyBlush! One Year Blogiversary Giveaway

My little corner of the internet has turned one this week, and I couldn't be happier! I feel like it's not just my blog's birthday, but the anniversary of a commitment I made to myself to dig into my passions of writing and makeup. In honor of CKellyBlush's one year anniversary, I'm doing my first giveaway ever!!

Before I get into the details of the giveaway, I want to take a quick moment to reflect on the past year.

Stranded in Target! A Spontaneous elf Haul

Recently, I was driving home after visiting with friends and meeting their sweet little baby. Unfortunately, my journey was westbound during a March sunset, where the sun was so low and bright that it felt like I was driving directly into the center of the sun. I made it as far as I could, but about halfway through, I had to pull over and wait until the darn thing finally set. Luckily, there was a wonderful Target that I could take shelter in, and really, who doesn't love a good wander through Target? I didn't intend to buy anything, but of course I found myself in the beauty section and got some awesome deals on clearance elf products, plus a few I've been wanting to try!
