Meet Michelle Phan at Sephora Times Square

Hey everyone!

On Thursday, December 6th, from 12pm to 4pm, Lancôme video makeup artist and YouTube sensation Michelle Phan  will take over the newly renovated Sephora Times Square to unveil her Betty Boop-inspired makeup look, created with Lancôme’s NEW Hypnôse Star mascara.

Inspired by the sensuous femininity of 1930’s Hollywood films, Hypnôse Star exudes theatrical glamour. Encased in a sparkling tube, the volumizing mascara coats lashes in a decadent formula that makes for a spotlight-stealing gaze. A dual-sided brush creates ultra-glam eyes by building intense volume at the lash line and finishing with alluring length and curl.

Michelle Phan boasts a following of millions, with over half a billion views on YouTube. Beloved for her makeup savvy, Michelle was the beauty industry’s first video makeup artist. Michelle is also the founder of For All Women Network (FAWN), a new YouTube channel dedicated to beauty and style.

WHAT: Meet Michelle Phan

WHERE: Sephora Times Square – 1500 Broadway at 43rd Street

WHEN: Thursday, November 6th from 12pm – 4pm

Lush's Santa's Sack Bubble Bar

Hey everyone!

As you all know, I love Christmas! So when I saw Lush had created a new bath time treat inspired by Santa's Sack, I just had to have it!

Here is what Lush has to say:

Here's Santa's little sack, stuffed with presents for three baths worth of bubbles and fun. Take your little reusable bubble bar presents out and set them aside for future bathing, then crumble up the sack under running water, slip underneath mounds of warm, spicy bubbles and relax in the soft, fragrant waters. 

How to Use:

Take out the "presents" and set them aside. Crumble the sack under running warm water as you fill the tub. The amount you need to use will vary but this bar usually yields one or two baths. When you'd like to use the reusable Bubble Bar presents, fill the tub and swoosh the present around in the water for lots of bubbles. 

This product retails for $9.95!

XoXo,
Whitney

Note: I purchased this product with my own money. I am not associated with Lush, nor are they paying me to feature their product. As always, my reviews and opinions are 100% my own! Product information is from Lush's website! 

Jolly Christmas Tag

Hey everyone! 

Since today is the official start to the Christmas season, I thought I would create and answer a Jolly Christmas Tag! 

1. What is your favorite Christmas movie? 

My favorite Christmas movie of all time has to be the Muppets Christmas Carol! The best characters in it have to be Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and Rizzo the Rat!

2. What is your favorite holiday drink?

I love hot chocolate, and lately, I have been treating myself to Starbucks' Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate at least once a week. Deliciousness!

3. What is your favorite Christmas treat?

Soft baked, frosted gingerbread cookies! These are a Christmas staple in my house!

4. What is on the top of your Christmas list this year?

I'm wishing for the YSL lipstick in Faubourg Peach! These are absolutely amazing lipsticks, and this color looks great for everyday wear.

5. Are you doing anything extra special this Christmas?

I am doing a gift exchange with two lovely girls in England! They are the sweetest, and I cannot wait for them to receive their Christmas presents!

6. What is your favorite Christmas Carol?

I don't think I could ever pick a favorite Christmas carol, they are all wonderful!

7. What is your favorite Christmas scent?

During the month of December, I love the scents of Cinnamon, Cloves, Vanilla, and Peppermint!

8. Do you have a stocking stuffer that makes its way back into stockings year after year?

Yes! Santa Coal Bubble Gum always finds its way into our stockings every year! That's the only type of coal I'll accept in my stocking hehe!

9. Is your Christmas tree real of fake?

We always use a fake tree. I think real Christmas trees are beautiful, but I don't believe in cutting down trees for decoration. 

10. Are you a good gift wrapper?

I think I'm an average gift wrapper. I love to wrap up gifts for the holidays, so I'm in charge of it all for the family!

I hope you enjoyed this Jolly Christmas Tag! I hope all of you decide to do this tag yourself!


Here are a few special people that I tag!
