Hello, Beautiful!

 

Let’s talk about the major Insta love ya’ll have been kind enough to throw my way lately, shall we?

 

She Remembered Who She Was – And the Game Changed

 

I am so excited about the way this blog has grown during the last few months! I launched Weddings & Wanderlust on March 15th with 702 follower friends I hoped wouldn’t be too annoyed with me for suddenly blowing up their timeline.

 

 

Now, four months later, the blog’s following has MORE THAN DOUBLED in size . . . that’s almost 900 NEW follower friends, and I couldn’t be more thrilled that you’re all along for this ride with me. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU – from the very bottom of my heart – for following my Instagram and Blog.

If you’re new around here, WELCOME!

I created Weddings & Wanderlust because creativity truly drives me. I went to law school because I am passionate about justice and knowing one’s rights under the law, and because I wanted to be able to afford my own horse stable one day. (Yes. Really.) I love working as a corporate attorney and wouldn’t trade it for the world, but that’s just not the only who I am. As challenging and incredible as it is to get to do what I do on a daily basis, that’s not all I can do.

I have to remember who I was before the world got a hold of me and tried to shape me into who I should be.

 

 

Intellect and intelligence are important, but creativity is like intelligence getting to have a bit of fun. Seeing something in the store or in my mind (or, lesbehonest, on Pinterest!) and deciding I could make that instead of buying it gives me such a rush. Imagining something that doesn’t exist and then deciding I could create that fills me with courage and confidence.

Hello, Beautiful!

 

Let’s talk about the new Givenchy Noir Interdit mascara, shall we?

 

 

 

I’m just going to go ahead and put it out there by saying: I am super picky when it comes to mascara, ya’ll.

A good mascara can completely change the way you feel, even when your makeup is already on point. Killer contour, the perfect lip, eyebrows filled in . . . these magical ways to enhance our gorg features all incomplete without some sultry black lashes to look out from under.

I can find drugstore dupes for pretty much any product, and my go-to drugstore mascara is L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black. Mario Dedivanovic, Kim Kardashian’s makeup artist and longtime friend, uses this product on her, and he swears by it. Personally, I love the smooth application and the ultra-thin applicator, which is more separated, small, and firm than your typical thick, oval-shaped applicator.

If I can have an excuse to go to Target and spend $5 and get my hands on something Kim Kardashian has trusted for years, I’m happy, ya’ll.

 

 

Just Google “Kim Kardashian loreal mascara” and you’re going to get about 856,000 results. It’s a thing, and I 100% recommend giving this baby a try.

When it comes to high-end mascaras, my recent favorites are They’re Real by Benefit, Tarte’s Lights Camera Splashes, and Tarteist Lash Paint, But let me tell you . . . Givenchy’s Noir Interdit is a game changer compared to every other high-end brand I’ve tried.
