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 ...

Battle of the Eye Primers

Hey guys!! I have oily eyelids and I struggled when I was younger with my eyeshadows and eyeliner creasing. At the time I never understood why. I went into sephora a couple years ago with my best friend and asked "how can I stop that from happening?" That's when I was introduced to eye primers. My first ever eye primer was the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I have been testing out 6 different eyelid primers and out of the six only two did not work for me. I decided to do this blog for the people that have that same issue as me and to show you guys what options there are out there in the make up world from drugstore to high end.   I tried the ELF Eyelid Primer, Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer, Mary Kay eye primer, Urban Decay Primer Potion, Too Faced Shadow Isurance, and BareMinerals Prime Time Primer. I'm going to start off with the one that was the worst one out of all of these. It was the Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer. $4.99 ...

Aveeno ultra calming makeup removing wipes

Hey guys!!! I received the Aveeno makeup remover wipes as a gift! Finally I was able to stop using the horrible wipes that I was using before!! These wipes are amazing! They smell so good and everytime I take one out I have to smell it before I use it on my face. They are very moist and they remove most of my face and eye makeup. I always go with a cotton round with another makeup remover no matter which wipes I use just to make sure everything is off. I don't know if they remove waterproof mascara since I am not using one at the moment. Most IMPORTANTLY it did NOT break me out!  I looked online on walmart to see how much it was and it is around $7. I probably will purchase this myself later on down the line.
