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.

Whitening Lightning Color Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss

Hey guys!!! Have you guys heard of  Jaclyn Hill ?? If not you have been missing out. She does the best make-up tutorials and recently she had a brush set with Sigma which I missed out on cause I couldn't afford it at the time. Then she announced she came out with her own lip gloss through Whitening Lightning and decided to go ahead and get this one even if it was a little pricey, but I saved up money for it. See how pigmented that color is?? This is the color Rose Hill and the website says it is a romantic and feminine hue. It is a beautiful rosy red color and I love it!! This gloss is amazing because first it has a mirror on the side. Just remember to remove the sticker that is on top of the mirror, but I haven't done that yet that's why it looks dirty on the picture. Secondly, when you open this gloss it lights up. So if you need to reapply when you are out and you don't have a mirror and/or you are in a dark place you are covered. Last but n

Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo

Hey guys!!! I love love love the Batiste Dry Shampoo , but before I traveled back in October I had ran out and I didn't have time to buy more. I went into a drugstore and the only thing I found was a Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo so I decided to go ahead and try it out.  I honestly do not like this dry shampoo, but I don't hate it. This dry shampoo will get the job done. It sucks up all the oils in your hair and it will stay like that till the next day. I hate the smell of it. To me it turns me off to a product if it doesn't smell good. Also a couple days ago I sprayed some in and someone told me that one side of my hair is white. This is definitely a product that you need to brush it out after a few minutes of applying it to your hair. The white cast that it leaves behind also turn me off to this product. Overall this is an okay dry shampoo. I will be going back to Batiste as soon as this is done haha. Have you guys tried this product?? What do you think??

88 Original Palette by Coastal Scents

Hey guys!!! When I first Started out with make up at 15 I got make up as birthday gifts that year. I was glad I didn't have to purchase any of it myself. Once I got a job a couple years later I wanted to get more and start experimenting with make up a little bit more. It was a low paying job so I was on a budget. I was looking for an affordable eyeshadow palette because I wanted to play around with colors on my eyes. I decided to purchase the Coastal Scents Original Palette:    I actually heard about this palette from my friend Nikki also known as Nix92585 on YouTube.* She was talking about it on her Facebook and I thought "that's a pretty palette" so I decided to go check it out on the website. I love that everything on there is very affordable and I have had this palette for a couple years now and I barely hit pan on one color. It lasts you a long time for such a reasonable price.  Here are swatches:  As you can see these color
