January 2015 Favorites

Hey guys!!! I don't have many favorites this month just because I have been trying out a lot of makeup that I can't wait to tell you guys about them. There are only a couple of products that I used continuously throughout the month.  NYC Sunny Bronzer - I was trying to use up another bronzer, but I got bored of it and I went back to this bronzer. This is a great everyday bronzer and since it is not very highly pigmented I don't ever overdo it on my cheeks.  Sephora Collection Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover - This is a great eye makeup remover it even removes most of my waterproof mascara. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream - When I had run out of this cream I actually noticed a difference on my hands especially during this winter weather. The dry patches on my hands were coming back and now that I have it back I will never be without it.  Kat Von D Tattoo Liner - I was using gel liner for a couple of months and ever since I got this liquid eye liner in the c

Sephora Collection Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover

Hey guys!!! For a while now I had been building up my points at Sephora until there was something I would be excited to try to use my points on. I saw that the Sephora Collection had a 500 point perk box and I decided to get that. I was going to do a blogpost on all of the products in that box in one, but I couldn't wait.  Sephora Collection Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover You guys know I love Clinique Eye Makeup Remover  and I will repurchase that one day again, but I had high hopes for this product because my friend Addy raves about this.  I like that it is parabens, sulfate, and phthalates free. I have somewhat sensitive skin so that is important to me. The first time I tried it I was very impressed. I accidentally forgot to remove my contacts before using this and it didn't irritate my eyes at all. The website says it is good for contact lens wearers and sensitive eyes and I am happy to say that it is 100% true.  You do have to shake it before you use it

Origins Mini Mask Marvels

Hey guys!!! During Black Friday I purchased the Origins Mini Mask Marvels set. My friend Krystelle would always tell me how amazing the Origins masks are and when I saw the set on the website during black friday it was a great opportunity to try 3 of them out!! I am in love with 2 out of 3 of these masks and I will be repurchasing them once I run out. Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask To Clear Pores This product is for basically like the name says clear your pores. It has charcoal and white china clay. The website says: " Activated charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out deep-dwelling pore-cloggers. White China clay absorbs environmental toxins, and lecithin dissolves impurities. Without all that stuff down there, skin breathes a sigh of relief.  "   This product has quickly become my holy grail mask because I do feel like this really cleans out my pores and my face feels fresh and clean after using it. Only thing is that it does dry

Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara

Hey guys!!! I tried out a new product to set my brows and hoping this one would be my holy grail. Honestly I was looking for the Milani brow gel, but when I couldn't find it this product was the next best thing. I heard a lot of people talk about the Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara for setting their brows so I thought why not try it out especially since it was just under $4! Just like the last brow gel I tried this is a great one to set the brows and help with the longevity of the brow product, BUT it doesn't tame my crazy brow hairs. One thing I did notice with this product though is that once you the the wand out there is a lot of product on the brush and you can apply too much on your brow and it can mess your brows up in my opinion.  I always remove a little bit of product on the back of my hand so that way I can get the perfect amount of product on my brows. I do love how much product you get for such a affordable price. This will last you for months

Birchbox January 2015 Unboxing

Hey guys!!! I received my Birchbox last week and not that excited with the products I received, but I am glad I got deluxe sample sized products for the most part. They have been improving on the products they have been sending I almost cancelled before, but now I won't be anytime soon. Whish Three Whishes Body Butter-  I got the lavender scent and it says it is a formula that firms, softens, and soothes the skin. I am excited to try this out! Who doesn't need a good body butter right?? Manna Kadar Lip Locked-  This is a stain lip product just like the Sephora Cream Lip Stain that I love so much. I might use a brush the first time I use it just in case I don't like it and I can give it to someone else.  Paula's Choice RESIST Moisture Renewal Oil Booster-  This is a serum that is made with 9 plant oils and it is perfect for very dry skin. I probably won't use this just because I already have a serum that I love and I don't have very dry skin.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara

Hey guys!!! I saw a review on YouTube on a new mascara and after seeing that I really wanted to try it out. I went and bought the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara in waterproof. I LOVE the Maybelline The Rocket mascara and it is my holy grail, but I always love trying other mascaras and see if it is as good or even better than The Rocket.  I really love the wand because I am able to reach the lashes in my inner corner. One important thing to me in a mascara is if the waterproof formula will keep my lashes curled all day without them falling. I am happy to say that my curl stay up all day with this mascara. This is my second Maybelline mascara that I have tried and I am noticing that if I didn't have a good makeup remover it would be really hard to remove.  This mascara gave me a little bit of length and good volume. I like to build up my mascaras and this will make my lashes clumpy after the second coat and I don't like the look.. Sometimes even if I am n

December 2014 Ipsy Bag

Hey guys!!! This month's bag wasn't that exciting for me and I gave away as gifts most of the things in this bag. One product I really wanted to try, but I wasn't able to and I will let you know once I get to the product. The bag this month is a nice bag. I been using a few of my ipsy bags as gifts to friends and family. This one will be used for that soon. Beauty Without Cruelty AHA 3% Facial Cleanser This cleanser is directed more to oily skin people and I don't have oily skin. Plus I started using a new one that I think I am loving and will continue to love. It is barely the second day using it so we shall see. I will be giving this one away to someone. NYX Cosmetics Butter Lip Balm I received mine in Marshmallow and it didn't work out for me at all. I didn't hydrate my lips at all they got even more dry than before. Now I am left dealing with these dry lips. Just keep in mind my lips are stubborn just like everything else

2014 Beauty Favorites

Hey guys!!! Time for my Yearly Favorites!! This is going to be a long post so I will start right away! I will not only be doing my beauty favorites, but also my favorite beauty girls to watch on YouTube. I didn't take a picture of it, but my most favorite face primer this year was the Laura Mercier Hydrating Primer . I love how this hydrates my skin and how long my foundation lasts with this product. I have found the perfect hrydating priner and  it is now time to find a good primer for my pores. My most used foundation this year especially for everytime I traveled is my Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation . It lasts all day and I don't have to worry about my nieces or nephews getting any transfer if they or their clothes touch my face. It also looks beautiful in photos. This year I discovered a couple of makeup brands that I fell in love with. Influenster sent me a box full of Mary Kay products and I fell in love with the brand. I love eve

December 2014 Favorites

Hey guys!!! I know I am late, but it is time for my last monthly favorites for the year 2014 and I can't believe we are already in the new year. I am going to show you a few things that I have been enjoying, but not all of it because tomorrow I will be posting my yearly favorites and I didn't want it to be too repetitive. Although a couple of these are still gonna be on that post. Mary Kay ClearProof Acne Treatment Gel - This is really helping my acne slowly but surely. I am sure that with the whole line will help more, but for now I am sticking with just this product.  NYX Matte Lipstick - This holiday season I wore most of my red lippies, but there was one that I reached for the most and it was the NYX Matte Lipstick in Eden. I love this lipstick formula it doesn't dry out my lips and it lasts on my lips for a good while.  Jane Cosmetics Eye Primer - I have started using this primer again and I love it. This helps my shadows not crease and last all day. 

January 2015 Empties

Hey guys!!! I have used up more products and now I want to show you what I used up and let you guys know what I think of it and if I will repurchase them. Acure Day Cream- I received this in my Birchbox s couple months ago and it is supposed to be for your face, but I used it for my hands. It was really moisturizing and I would put it on overnight so it can sink into my skin. I will not be repurchasing this. The Body Shop Nutriganics Drops of Youth Serum -  I am in search of a good serum so I decided to try this one out. It was okay I didn't notice any major difference on my skin. It didn't moisturize as much as I wanted it to. I will not be repurchasing this. Sephora Collection 10 HR Wear Perfection Foundation - I really loved the finish of this foundation and I actually bought a new one, but I recently have been noticing my pores more and more and I feel like this foundation is sinking into my pores now. I most likely will not repurchase another one once

Nails of the Week!

Hey guys!!! Happy New Year to you guys!!! Hope you guys had a great New Year and have had a great start to the new year! I did my own nails for New Years and I love how they came out. I used the Klean Color Nail Laquer in 168 Metallic Black on only two nails. This had great pigmentation with just one coat, but I still do two coats. I love this formula because of the pigmentation and it dries really fast. The downside to this formula is that it chips fast.  One the rest of the nails I used Julep in Dahlia. I love love this gold shade I have been obsessed with this polish all holiday season. It lasts a good 4-5 days before it chips. I decided to use a glitter polish this time so I went with Julep America. I used it on top of the Metallic Black shade. I really love how this turned out and again this lasts 3-4 days on my nails before chipping. I hope it will help the black color last. Here is the end result:  What were some of you guys New Year's nail pol
