December Favorites

Urban Decay De Slick: I find that this doesn't make my face completely matte but it does help. I use this on my T-zone before and after I do my makeup. 

Narciso Rodriguez Perfume: This smells delicious! When I spray this I think of a cold, snowy night and dollops of fresh whip cream....ha! I'm  crazy over this scent!!

CHI Keratin-Leave-in Conditioner: I use this on wet hair and concentrate it on my ends. I love that it detangles my curly hair and keeps my ends hydrated. Careful not to spray too much because it gets heavy and kills the volume in your hair. Well, at least for me it did. 

Monthly Favorites-August

These are my monthly favorites, empties, and drugstore finds...

Ocean Potion sunblock in spf 70- the scent alone makes this worth buying. It doesn't smell like traditional sunscreens the smell reminds me of sorbet! :) Dries quickly, and leaves your skin feeling smooth.

NARS lipstick in Schiap-this lipstick has become my staple for the summer. The color is a sharp Pink that instantly adds light to my face.

MaryKay makeup remover- I can't get enough of this!! It removes all of my makeup without irritating my eyes or skin.

NYC Skin Perfecting Primer in Shade-lotion like texture with super fine shimmer particles that add a subtle glow, and smooth out your skin for an even complexion. It's not a miracle worker but if you're in a pinch this gets the job done.

Essence of Beauty Brush Cleaner-the smell is a bit strong but this really works to remove the stains from dark colors out of White makeup brushes.

Monthly Favorites: July

1. Maybelline Illegal Lengths mascara-lengthens and separates my lashes no clumps, no flakes!
2. Sinful Colors nail polish- this color is named Hazard. The shade is a bright Coral perfect for the summer.
3. Dove shampoo and conditioner Damage Therapy-these keep my hair hydrated, and smelling fresh.
4. Fake eyelashes no brand #108-I bought these on ebay 10 synthetic lashes for $2.99. Very natural looking but with noticeable length. They're great to wear to the pool, the beach, or when you just wanna skip mascara.
5. Silk Elements Olive oil Heat Spray-I always use this to protect my highlighted hair against the heat from my styling tools. It protects, adds shine, and smells awesome! I've noticed that since I started using this my I've had less breakage in my hair.
6. Sugar Fresh lip treatment- the scent, the moisture, the metal tube....I just LOVE this!

In my makeup bag

Lately I been using these products for my everyday makeup. I use Maybelline Super Stay 24hour foundation on a daily basis. It's a full coverage foundation and it really does NoT budge! MAC Prep and Prime highlighter in Radiant Rose, I use this around my nose and inside the corner of my eyes to brighten up :) Scandal Eyes mascara has a natural finish, it gives volume and length but not over the top. Two coats of this and I'm set. For eyeshadow I been using my Stila Natural Eyes Palette. This palette has 10 eye shadows that allow you to create a natural look or add some drama to your eyes with the darker shades.


Swatches of the stila natural eyes palette and NARS Taos blush.
Taos blush is a coral, red with gold shimmer. I love that this blush makes me look naturally flushed.
For lips I been using my chanel lipgloss #68 a Hot Pink, coral color with gold flecks. I like that it's not sticky and non drying.
