NEW FAVS!

Thursday, May 16, 2013

I have found some goodies that I must share with you! I get so excited when I actually find cosmetics that work and that I love. I hate going to Sephora and spending a lot of money on makeup and not being 100% satisfied. This time, I was satisfied! 100%! I love when I find a product that can be used multiple ways as well. These two new favs of mine can be used in a couple different ways, which cuts down on cost and also time. Love that! Also, these products are legit, they support a good cause and are eco friendly (read more HERE).

Both products are by JOSIE MARAN COSMETICS . I am in love with this line already. Almost every product contains Argan oil which is really good for your skin. These product are working for you not just to bring some color into your life but also to moisturize!

First fav: Argan Color Stick- This is a perfect shade for everyone. Gives just the right amount of color and also a great shine to make you look more alive. This stick can be used like a blush or a lip color.

Second Fav: Argan Oil- I only got a sample so far to see if I liked it… and I do! It can be used as a face moisturizer or you can put some on your hair to eliminate frizz. Love it. It doesn’t make me break out, which most moisturizers do. It gives me a glow. This also helps the rest of my makeup routine go on a lot better.

You can find a full line of Josie Maran at your local Sephora. I am sure it is all worth buying.

FAVORITE MASCARA

Friday, March 8, 2013

I would be really sad if I had to live without mascara. It is my favorite part about my makeup routine. It is a must for me! I can’t leave my house without it! Over the years I have found some favorites. At the moment I am using the PLUSH LASH BY MAC.  I am loving it.

DEFINE-A-LASH BY MAYBELLINE is the cheapest one, but it still works wonders. SHOCKING BY YVES SAINT LAURENT is the most pricey, but you get what you pay for!

Enjoy! Happy weekend!

MAKEUP FAMILY

Monday, December 10, 2012

I have a new member that joined my makeup family this week, and I am in love. Seriously, if you don’t use this yet you should. It is a life saver, for me at least. It is clear eyebrow gel. I never thought I needed it, but, boy do see the difference. It keeps all those crazies in place so you don’t have to make sure they are in place. It gives you a polished look as well. Eyebrows are very important and they have a huge role. They frame your beautiful face. So, pay attention to those guys!  :)

I am using this one by MAYBELLINE.

ENJOY!!

    Crystal Wiegand: yes, i agree!! this product is awesome! gives the brows that extra oomph :) I was trying to remember what mascara it was that you said you love. My mascara is almost out and i want to give that one a try! (12/27/12, 2:17 pm)

IT’S THE SMALL THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY

Wednesday, October 3, 2012

It really is the small things that make me happy…Like plum lips for fall! I am loving all the different shades! All the different hues from red to purple and everything in-between.It is a bold statement with a strong elegance. LOVE IT.  Wear it to dress things up or with a t-shirt and jeans. It is fun for any occasion. YOU gotta try it.

My color here is by Cover Girl, number 360, euphoria is the name. It is on the more red shade with some purple and fuchsia undertones.

What’s your favorite shade of PLUM?

    Char: Oh, I love this. Now I wanna try it! (10/05/12, 11:03 am)

FAVORITE LIPS

Friday, June 15, 2012

A couple months ago my friend directed me to a blog post that was raging about this certain lipstick!  Apparently this lipstick goes well with every skin tone and hair color no matter how unique. I was curious and excited to check it out.  When I looked at the orange/red shade I was skeptical and I knew I had to see if it would work on my skin tone. Who doesn’t like to find the perfect lipstick that looks great on you?! So I was off to that mall to find it.

Heat Wave by NARS.

This lipstick is now one of my favorites! No matter what i am doing, with this lipstick on it adds a little spice and fun!

Last season for J.Crew all the models were wearing Heat Wave!

YOU deserve to love your lipstick and feel lovely in it. With this shade I promise you will! Try it and let me know what you think !!!

    Angel: Wow!!!! Love this post. Curious about the color on MY lips. (06/16/12, 6:16 pm)

    Samantha: Grace, it's true! It really does look great on everyone, even me. You know it's good when your toddler tries to wipe it off your lips and reapply it on theirs. ;) (07/04/12, 1:33 am)
