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. 
  • Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge- I stopped using this for a while because the one I had was really dirty and I had repurchased a new one, but it stayed in the packaging because I was loving the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. I am glad I started using this again because it is amazing to blend out foundation and concealer and making your skin look flawless.
  • Makeup Geek Shimma Shimma- I had used this under my brow bone and my eyes, but for some reason I never used it in my inner corner. I decided to use it once and I haven't stopped since. It is very pigmented and this stayed very bright and pigmented all day. 
  • Makeup Geek Insomnia Pigment- I used this a lot this month for the holidays and I LOVE this color. I hear it is a dupe for MAC Blue Brown pigment. I wore it to a holiday party and I got quite a few compliments.
  • Makeup Geek Utopia Pigment- This is the most beautiful pigment ever. I wore for New Years Eve and my boyfriend even loved the pigment and asked me to wear it again. Whenever your man compliments you its a big deal right?? This one is one that you must wet your brush before applying this because the glitter is a a little chunky and it will have less fallout that way.
  • W3LL People Bio Brightener Stick- I received this in my Birchbox and I will do a review post on it, but just know I love it. 
  • Laura Mercier Invinsible Loose Setting Powder- I received this in my November Ipsy bag and I am glad I did. I will be doing a post on this one, but again just know I love it and I am gonna want the full size once I run out!
  • Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer- I don't use this everyday I only use it whenever I am out of town or special occassions. You only need a little bit it is very pigmented, very blendable, and it smells like chocolate because it is made out of cocoa powder.
Those are my December favorites. What are some of you guys favorites?? Now on to work on my Yearly favorites.

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 ...

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer

Hey guys!!! I never ever ever ever used a bronzer or even knew what it was for till of course I started watching YouTube beauty videos. Thanks to my good friend Merlin for giving me a gift card to Sephora I was able to purchase this little sample set. I am going to do separate reviews for each product and I have already done one for the  Shadow Insurance Primer  and the others will be coming soon. Today as you already know I will be talking about the bronzer. I was excited to FINALLY try this since it's really raved about on YouTube. I am always grabbing this and smelling it a lot whenever I am at home haha. It is made out of cocoa powder and it smells like chocolate!!! MMMM!! They only have two shades and I got the shade Medium/Deep. Here's the swatch: I recently tried a shimmery bronzer and this one and I gotta say I prefer a matte bronzer the best! I only bronze my face with this since I suck at contouring and I don't think I have the right brush for co...

Nails of the Week!!

Hey guys!!! I had trouble deciding on what to put on my nails this week, but after 5 minutes I finally went with... Julep in the color Farrah and.... Revlon in the color 761 Scandalous. The Julep polish is a pretty purple grayish color. It was two coats opacity and usually the polish last me about 3-4 day without chipping depending on what I am doing. The Revlon polish I used it last week for the first time and I was impressed with it. It lasted 5 days before it finally chipped and that was my fault I was doing laundry and I hit my finger somewhere and for some reason that chipped my nail. I loved it so much I had to use it again this week.  If you wish to try out the Julep polishes it is a subscription for about $19.95 I believe a month. You can get your first box free if you just want to try it out once to see if its worth your money by using the code FREEBOX. Just click  here  and check it out.
