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 ...

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 ...

Nails of the Week

Hey guys!!! I decided to talk about what is on my nails for the week. I will be doing this a couple times a month since I like to change my nail colors frequently! I used China Glaze polish in the color Frostbite and on top i used the Wet n Wild Wild Shine glitter polish. I am not too sure what the name of it is, but it is my favorite glitter polish to use. This was my first time using a China Glaze nail polish, but I was kinda disappointed. I had to apply the color about 3-4 times for it to be this pretty bright color. If you don't have time to sit there and apply this many coats and wait for it to dry I don't recommend this color.  The upside about this nail polish is that it lasts on your nails without chipping. Normally mine start chipping after 3 days because I wash my hands so many times a day since I work with kids. Right now its the 6th day and I only have minor chipping. Maybe I will try another color in this brand soon. You guys have any recommendatio...
