2017 has been a pretty rough year to say the least, but with the hard times also come a time of growth and self discovery. I am ready to live my best life in 2018 and ready to accomplish all of the goals and plans I have for the coming year. There is so many things I want to do this coming year I figured why not end the year with my list of goals and objectives? 1. The first goal I really want to accomplish is to get my own place again. This year I've been due to illness, living with friends and family and although I am extremely grateful for the kindness of good friends, there are others I have stayed with that have not been so kind, that have kicked us out on the street and have shown me their true selves. So you can say my goal is a new apartment for us asap. Yet I am grateful for the lesson that you cannot expect people to treat you the way you treat them. Here's to new beginnings for 2018. 2. My second goal is to learn as much as I can about blogging while buil...

The first thing I noticed about the Cover Girl So Lashy Mascara is that it has a very unique 3 wand brush which is different from any mascara I have ever tried. I tried the color black and I really love how dark it makes my lashes look and does make them look alot longer. However, the downside is I did experience some clumping and have some difficulty using the thick wand. The price is affordable and Cover Girl does deliver a quality mascara. This particular one however, was not specifically my cup of tea. I love the bottle and the intensity of color and length but I could do without the clumping. Overall I would give this mascara a 7/10.

The first thing I noticed about   Cover Girl Vitalist Healthy Elixir foundation is that it has a perfect matte finish. I'm a huge fan of Cover Girl cosmetics since my teenage years and they have yet failed to dissapoint me. This beautiful foundation smells clean and amazing on top of providing me with continuous coverage and a smooth finish. I'm absolutely loving it. This foundation has a vitamin infused formula and special antioxidants. It did not clog my pores. I also noticed that it's perfect for sensitive skin like my own. Overall I would recommend this foundation because it truly delivers what it promises.

This holiday season it is absolutely possible to give a great gift and not break the bank. Thanks to Target who has come up with beautiful gift ideas for under $50. I chose a few of my favorite gift ideas to share with you and give you some inspiration this Holiday Season. My first pick was this gorgeous and adorable flannel pajama set. The Women's Pajama set by Wondershop is the perfect gift for that special lady who loves to get warm and cozy during the cold winter months. It is 100% cotton and flannel making it the perfect pajama this holiday.          http://go.magik.ly/ml/895g/ Now you can enjoy your favorite apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Hbo, and much more with the Amazon Fire Tv stick with Alexa voice remote.

First off I want to start off by saying that Wet and Wild has really stepped up their makeup game. They are well known for their low prices and cosmetics that have been around forever. In the past years they have really stepped up and came out with some pretty awesome makeup. I was seeking the perfect Holiday lipstick color and I came across the Wet  and Wild Lipcolor in Cinnamon Spice .    This I have to say is a beautiful color. What I like even more is the fact that this lipstick lasted longer than any other brand of lipstick I have ever bought. The packaging says four hours of continuous wear, however, I noticed that this color lasted over six hours on me. It is a great matte color that does not feel chalky or dry. Just a beautiful matter finish which makes this lipstick my favorite this holiday season. Well done Wet and Wild! XOXO, Norah's Beauty Corner

There's nothing like staying in on a cold winter night and watching your favorite Christmas movies. It's the perfect way to get into the Holiday spirit and bring back that child like love for the holidays we may have lost as adults. So without further a due, here is my top pick for Christmas movies that I watch almost every Christmas season to get myself into the spirit and just to feel good. 1. Elf : This is definitely my number one when it comes to feel good Christmas movies. It is hilarious and follows the story of  Buddy the Elf (Will Ferrell) who after being raised in the North Pole goes to NYC to find his birth father. It is funny, feel good and warm and definitely wins the number one spot for me. This movie is a must see for Die hard Christmas lovers. Click here for your Elf DVD http://go.magik.ly/ml/87fp/ 2. Home Alone 2 Lost in New York One of my absolute childhood favorites. Macaulay Culkin is Kevin who is left alone in NYC while his family goes on vacation fo...

Let's face it the holidays while amazing can be a time of stress for many of us. From working extra hours to make that extra Christmas money to spending time with annoying family members, the holidays can truly burn out the most sane of us. So with that in mind here are my top five tips on How to Self Care this holiday season. The first tip is that you do not have to be all things to all people. It's very important to understand that you cannot pour from an empty cup and that you are not responsible for everyone's happiness. You do not have to say yes to every invitation, you absolutely have the right to say no. You are in the driver's seat of your life and you can pick and choose how you want to spends your time. My second tip is to take time for yourself. You can start by turning off your phone. I promise it will still be there once you are done. But it's ok to disconnect from the world, relax in bed and watch your favorite Holiday movies every once in a w...

When I shop for an eyeliner I look for one that has staying power, does not smudge and leave a mess on my face, and most importantly, it must be a pencil based one. I am liquid liner challenged and this particular eyeliner by Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner delivers the best application when it comes to great eyeliner. I'm still trying to get the perfect winged look but this is great for daily use to go anywhere. If I could choose any beauty product that I can't leave the house without, it would be eyeliner. Just makes you feel more put together and I'm loving that there is multiple colors to choose from. This awesome eyeliner is available at Target
