Favorites from February

Hi everyone! Long time no "talk", I know. I need to post more consistently but college and work keeps me pretty busy. As I am writing this I should probably be doing accounting homework but that can wait until later! I really wanted to get this up.

There were a few products that I really got a lot of use out of other than the products I use on a daily basis for skincare that I wanted to talk about.



The first is the Wet & Wild palette in "Comfort Zone". I think I have had mentioned this item before. The pigmentation of the eye shadows is very good and I love the colors themselves. They are pretty neutral but you can use them in a variety of ways to create different looks.

The second is the Maybelline Better Skin Concealer/Corrector. This concealer has great coverage for me and does not cause me to breakout. I recommend checking it out.


I have also been loving the new Maybelline Fit Me line. I have one of the matte and poreless foundations and I really like it. It covers nicely and does not look caked on. I find that it lasts pretty long but that may be helped by the fact that I use a setting spray. This product does not irritate my skin and to me it actually makes m skin feel soft. It does have a matte finish like it's supposed to and overall I am very happy with this foundation!

Because it is winter that means I get dry skin a lot which s not fun. My lips also get chapped. I love using Vaseline on my lips and it's very convenient that they specifically make Vaseline "lip balm". The one I have has coconut butter. It not only hydrates my lips but it smells pretty good too!

One of my all time favorite perfumes is actually by Victoria's Secret, it is called Shine Pink. It has a nice, sweet floral scent and it lasts pretty long. I think it also helps me get in the mood for spring which can't seem to come soon enough!


Finally, the last product is a nail polish, it is Vernis Classique by Cherimoya in the shade Americano. I think this is a color that could really work for the majority of the year but I see it as being more of a fall/winter color. It is metallic and almost a bronze-silver color.  It is definitely one of the colors I got the most use out of this winter.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed! Feel free to let me know what you think about these products in the comments or what some of your favorites are!

Winter Must Haves

Hi everyone, I hope you enjoyed your holidays.
I decided to share a few of the pieces that are my essentials for winter!



Winter 2015 Must Haves




You can see all of my must haves above but I thought I'd choose a key few to talk more about.

Vests are a definite for me for winter and I find myself wanting to wear one basically everyday, I refrain though. Chunky sweaters are great for fall and winter so I like to stock up on these.  I especially like ones with high necks since they keep me warmer. Knitted headbands are a great accessory and very practical. I believe that Forever 21 probably has some but Etsy would have more of a variety. Over the knee boots are another favorite and as opposed to leather riding boots that are a fall staple I gear more towards suede tall boots for winter. The last thing I'll mention is nail polish. To me blue is a color I think of for winter nails, I like dark blue but some lighter blues also work for me for winter.

Thanks for reading!

October Favorites



October is over! To me it seems like the month just flew by. Now every one is gearing up for the holidays!



There were a few things that I couldn't get enough of this October and I thought I'd share them with you guys. 

 
October Favorites 2015


First up is the Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Concealer & Corrector. This concealer gives pretty good coverage and is definitely buildable. It has a doe foot applicator and I apply it with my clean fingers. It does not break me out. It is supposed to last a long time and I find that it does. Another benefit is that it is supposed to help clear you skin after you have used it for a while. I haven't used it long enough yet but I think that it has potential! Even if it doesn't end up doing that it is still a great concealer and I will continue to buy it. There is also a foundation from the same line.

The next product that I have been loving is the Wet n Wild eyeshadow palette in Comfort Zone. These are very neutral and earthy colors, great for doing natural eye looks. You can use it to do more dramatic looks as well though. The pigmentation is pretty good and the shadows do not crease even without wearing primer. I was very impressed by the quality. 

Another thing I got a lot of use out of was my eyelash curler. Although I use it all the time and it wasn't an item I just recently "fell in love with" I did recently just start only curling my lashes and not always wearing mascara. Curling lashes makes such a difference and for me the curl lasts pretty long with/without mascara. Sometimes it's nice to not put it on since it can be time consuming and then a bit annoying to remove at night. I  do love mascara though! And I am a college student so I don't get too much sleep and curling my lashes makes me look so much more awake even without mascara and sometimes my eyes water a lot in the mornings and I don't want to have to worry about my mascara running.

I also really like metallic nail polish during the fall, especially golds, rose gold tones, greens, and other jewel tones such as purple.




I have been drinking a lot of tea lately. It really helped me get over a cold and there are a lot of benefits of drinking tea. There are also so many varieties so I think there is at least one flavor out there for everyone. Tea is a great beverage for the fall and winter and just symbolizes those seasons to me. My personal favorite teas are black tea, raspberry tea, and Christmas tea and as for brands I really enjoy Lipton, Twinning's of London, and Bigelow.

The last thing I thought I'd mention is a snack food. It is Popcorners! Theses are so delicious and my favorite is the kettle corn flavor, other flavors include white cheddar, butter, caramel, and sea salt. If you don't know what Popcorners are, they are basically popcorn in the form of triangle chips. There are a bit of a healthier alternative to chips and are amazing!
