Current Favorites

Hey guys!!,

I can't believe its been almost a month since I have blogged. I don't know where the time has gone, but I promise to get back on track. I figured it was too late to do a November Favorites so I decided I would share with you some of my current favorites!

First up I want to talk about a couple of hair products I've been using a lot lately. I've been really loving the Suave dry shampoo. It really helps with second day hair and also helps to create great volume





















Next up is the Bumble and Bumble styling lotion. I spray this in my hair before I use any heat on my hair and it creates noticeable shine.

Since it is winter and I'm super pale I like to use a little self tanner to maintain a healthy glow. Lately I've been using the Victoria Secret Beach Sexy tinted self-tan body spray. It gives a great color without being super dark but is easily buildable. I am always looking for the best self tanners so if you have a favorite please comment and let me know :)

Next up are a couple of brushes I have been absolutely in love with. Real techniques brushes by Samantha Chapman are so amazing!! The two I have been in love with are the expert face brush which makes applying foundation seamless and the blush brush which creates a perfect glow on your cheeks.

For face products I have three favorites. First up is mac mineralized skinfinish. My color is light plus. I love applying this to my face especially the t zone after my foundation. It really helps pro long my makeup all day.

For blush I have been wearing Wet n' Wild's Pearlescent pink a beautiful pink shade with gold shimmer.

For highlight I have been using and Elf eyeshadow brightening eye pot. It came in one of the get the look sets it doesn't have a specific name just #00301. But its a beautiful shimmery shade.

For mascara I have gone back to an old favorite. Covergirl Lash Blast. This will probably always be a favorite. Its great for lengthening and separating lashes.

I have two current favorite lipsticks. The first one is Revlon's super lustrous 477 Black cherry. This dep berry red is perfect for winter. Its such a beautiful color.

My other favorite lipstick is Mac's amplified saint germain. A gorgeous hot pink color. It's pretty bright for winter but I love it so much.

My last favorite is a nail polish. CVS is having there annual beauty discounts. Select makeup and nail polish has been marked down to 50% or 75%. So I grabbed a couple of things one of them being the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kollection glitter polish in Rainbow in the S-Kylie. Its so beautiful with chunks of different sized multicolored glitter. Perfect for the holidays and it was half off!!

SO thats all my current favorites!! What are yours??

Collective Haul (Ulta, CVS, MAC..)

Hey guys,

Back with another haul. Over the past couple of weeks I have purchased a few items I have been saving to show you all. So lets jump right into it!

The first thing I want to mention is the mirror. I picked that up at TJ Maxx for $12.99. A pretty boring purchase haha just needed a new makeup mirror.

Next up I finally purchased the Mac mineralized skinfinish. I have been debating on getting this product for so long I finally just did it. And now I want to go back for soft and gentle lol. I picked the shade light plus since its winter time and I don't have a tan. I believe this was $28. 

Next up I headed to CVS. First I grabbed the new Loreal True Match Lumi foundation. I saw MakeupByTiffanyD's video on this foundation and I really wanted to try it. I grabbed the shade porcelain light ivory is W1-2. Again because I am totally lacking in the tan department. I don't remember the exact price I paid but I think around $9.

While I was there I also decided to pick up a couple of nail polishes. Wet n Wild's spoiled line has some really cute colors for very cheap. $1.99 ea. So I grabbed two in the colors : pumping gas and jewelry heist. 

Next I went to Ulta, for the first time ever!! Mainly because its a pretty good drive away. I really could go crazy in that store but I held back since I'm saving money for Christmas and just picked up what I needed. 

I have been wanting a couple of new brushes and heard really great things about the Real Techniques brushes by Samantha Chapman of Pixiwoo on youtube. They were also buy 1 get 1 50% off. So I picked the expert face brush and the blush brush. Both brushes were $8.99 and I got one for half off. 

I also wanted to try a Joico hair product and saw some mini ones available for $3 which was perfect. So I grabbed the K-Pak Moisture intense hydrator, can't wait to use it. 

Okay guys thats my little collective haul. Hope you enjoyed it!!

Favorite Nude Lip Products

Hey guys,

I am a huge fan nude lips so I thought I would share with you some of my favorites.

First up is Mac's Creme d'nude. I love mac lipsticks especially they cremesheens they are so moisturizing and smell great. The color is a perfect nude color not to orangey or pink, they perfect blend.

next is Revlon's colorburst lipstick in soft nude. This is a little bit of a deeper nude than creme d'nude.

Next is my absolute favorite nude. Revlon's lip butter in creme brulee. This one is my favorite because it is more of a brown undertone and super moisturizing. If you have dry or chapped lips wearing nude lipstick can highlight that, but the lip butter is so moisturizing it hides those imperfections. 

Maybelline nude nuances is another favorite because it has a more pink undertone. Some people online have compared it to Mac's Hue.

Next up is another Revlon lip butter this time in creamsicle. This a more sheer peachy nude color. I liked using this color during the summer and spring. But it great for everyday.

I thought I would also include some gloss. Mac's c-thru is a great sheer true nude color.

The last gloss is Elf's hypershine gloss in berry cherry. This is a deeper nude gloss, perfect for the colder months.

Even though I have so many nude lipsticks and glosses I'm always looking for more, what are your favorites??

Hi guys!,

This is my final installment of my drugstore favorites. In this post I am going to share with you my favorite drugstore lip products! I have so many and there are a few you have seen a lot on this blog, ha! Mainly revlon products, but I am seriously a big fan of their lip products!

So lets begin:

First I thought I would share the ELF Lip Exfoliator I love using this product when my lips feel extra dry, it helps to make them nice and smooth. You can find this product at eyeslipsface.com for $3.

Next up are two of my favorite lip balms

First is the maybelline baby lips in peppermint. I didn't get a tinted one because I bought the product to use as a chapstick. Before I put on my makeup I put some of this on my lips so that my lips have some moisture before I put on any lipstick. $3-4

The other lip balm is EOS in sweet mint. I adore this product. It has a waxy feel but definitely has been a go to product while the weather gets colder. $3-4

I thought I would also include a lip pencil. I picked NYX's in natural. Its pretty standard. Besides this one I think ELF has some nice ones for an affordable price. I happen to really like the lip pencils included in the Disney Villains palettes. $2-4

I'll separate the rest by brand so first up in ELF. I love their glossy gloss in sweet salmon. It is a perfect pinky nude almost peachy lip gloss. Perfect overtop of a nude lip. $3

As I mentioned I am a big Revlon fan, so I picked three lip products for this post. First is my all time favorite nude lipstick. Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee. This is such a perfect nude it has a more brown undertone than an orange one and is super moisturizing because it is a lip butter. This is a product I would definitely repurchase. $6-8

Next is another nude. Also by Revlon it is their colorburst lipstick in soft nude. The undertone on this is slightly more orange than creme brulee. I love to pair the two together. $7-9

The last product from Revlon is of course the just bitten kissable balm stain in crush. You guys are probably sick of hearing about this one, but it truly is an absolute favorite. $7-9

Maybelline has some pretty lipsticks as well. I really love their nude nuances number 865. Its another nude, of course but this one is more on the pink side. Unfortunately the color is limited edition, you can probably find it online, on ebay maybe.

The other maybelline lipstick I picked is 140 fuchsia fever. This is a bright pink color perfect for a bold lip. $6-8

Another lipstick I have mentioned on this blog is Rimmel London's Lasting finish by Kate Moss in 01. This color is the perfect true red color. It is certainly my go to red. $4-6

The last product I want to mention is sort of an honorable mention because I am not sure it counts as drugstore. It is Avon's glazewear liquid lip color in real red. My best friend gave it to me a while back and I love it! It is a rich red almost gloss but definitely more opaque. I had trouble finding it on the avon website I think they may have changed the packaging but I did see it on amazon for around $3. I would check with your local avon rep. or try the website you may have better luck.

Well there you have it my favorite drugstore lip products! It was so much fun going through all my makeup and choosing favorites! 

Hope you all have a great day!

I love ELF’s primer in sheer. It only costs a dollar and gets the job done.

Maybelline Falsies in very black. I generally love all of maybellines mascaras they are really good at adding volume. $6-8
