October 2014 Favorites

Hey guys!!!

It is time for my October favorites!! I can't believe that Thanksgiving, my birthday, Christmas, and New Years is right around the corner! I don't have too many favorites this month just because I didn't try out too many new products this month. 

  • Alterna Haircare Caviar CC Cream 10-in-1 Complete Correction- I received this in my September Ipsy bag and I haven't stopped using it since I got it. It leaves my hair feeling so soft and smooth. Also it smells so good and it lingers in my hair.
  • Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation- I recently traveled to New York and I love using this foundation because it lasts all day. I don't ever have to worry that I will come home to half of my makeup faded. 
  • Manna Kadar Cosmetics Sheer Glo- I received this in my August Ipsy bag and I started using it again this month and I honestly love it. I apply this before my foundation on places I apply my highlighter to make it a little more intense. 
  • Maybelline Color Tattoo- I just realized that this was a favorite last month, but I had been using it a lot lately that it is still a favorite. I use it as a base for my eyeshadows to make them more vibrant. This one is in Inked in Pink.
  • Stila Countless Color Pigments- This was my go to brush for the month. Ever since I first applied it on my cheeks I loved the way it looks and I couldn't put it down. It is really pigmented and very blendable.
  • ELF Studio Small Tapered Brush- HOLY GRAIL BRUSH! This is now my everyday brush to use to apply my highlighter. 
Those are my October favorites. What were some of your favorites of October??

Rose and Ben Beauty Brushes

 Hey guys!! I haven't done a beauty post in a while and I was in the mood to do one because I am very excited to talk about these! I started follow Rose on IG roseandben  thanks to my friend and I have been loving her content. You can see the passion she has for makeup. I love that she posts on IG stories almost everyday doing a tutorial or talking about her fav products.  I have actually purchased and few of her recommendations and 99% of the products I have bought have become staples in my collection.  When she announced she was coming out with a brand  Rose and Ben Beauty  I just knew it would be brushes because she would always be using prototypes in her tutorials. I trusted her judgment in products soooo I bought most of the collection.  Aren't these brushes beautiful?? When I first got the brushes I felt the bristles and they were so soft. The quality of the bristles and even the handles feels so luxurious. I love the color of the handles too. I only started following her

What Are AHA's??

 Hey guys!!! AHA's(Alpha Hydroxy Acids) is water-soluble, exfoliates dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, reveals healthy looking skin, and it is suitable for all skin types. It helps stimulate collagen, hydrates the skin, brightens the skin, helps lessen skin texture, helps with acne scars, signs of sun damage, and dark spots. There are different types of AHA's out there.  Glycolic Acid Glycolic acid is the most well known and is used in skin care and is also used by a professional in a chemical peel.  It is either used alone in a skincare product or combined with another AHA ingredients at concentrations of 5% and up. It helps to enhance skin's firmness and resilience while softening signs of sun damage.  The size of this acid allows it to penetrate the uppermost layers of the skin to reveal better looking skin. Also it hydrates the skin, and basically helps the skin retain the natural moisture. Glycolic acid can be derived from sugar cane, but they only use the

What is the difference between Chemical & Physical Exfoliants??

 Hey guys!! What is exfoliation for? Your skin regenerates every 28 days or so and sun exposure and aging slows that process down. That is where exfoliation is key. It removes dead skin cells, brighten your skin complexion, and fades acne scars.  Getting rid of your dead skin cells is very important because it can help prevent bacteria, dirt, and sweat from getting stuck underneath the skin's surface. It can also help prevent and treat acne and inflamed pores.  What type of exfoliations are there? There are two types of exfoliations. Physical and Chemical. Physical Exfoliation Physical exfoliation is my least favorite and I do not recommend. Here is why. Physical exfoliant products uses micro-sized grains, beads, and particles to remove dead skin cells. Basically anything that scrubs at your skin like tiny granules. It is made of coffee grounds, walnut shell powder, sugar, rice, and salt. Other examples of physical exfoliation are a cleansing brush, a konjac sponge, a cloth, and a
