This is kind of a double post, a Friday Favorite and a Budget Beauty. I did not like the original Maybelline Dream BB but once I saw they had a bronze one, I had to try it out of curiosity. The first thing I thought of was, oh could this be a dupe for Stila's Bronze Beauty Balm (which I love but it's...
My friend Kendall and I try and make it to the NYC IMATS every year. This year tickets sold out before we could purchase them so we decided to have our own makeup day in the city! This trip included a lot of firsts for me... my first trip to Saks on Fifth Avenue, my first trip to Macy's at Herald Square (at...
I am super excited to share this release with you guys! Mac is releasing new (and repromoting some old) matte lipsticks! Colors include lipstick versions of their super popular lip liners in Stone and Whirl (OMG)! All shades will be permanent which is so nice to see considering Mac is huge on limited edition collections. It takes at least some of the stress...
Face: Neutrogena Pure and Free Liquid Sunscreen SPF 50 - This is a golden find! I love this sunscreen. It doesn't feel heavy or tacky and it totally sinks in! I have been using it on my face, neck, and chest for the past two weeks and have not had any problems with breakouts or sensitivity. It is a concentrate formula so you...
Here are some things I've been eyeing this week! Sigh... this gorgeous and outrageously expensive Coach bag This choker from nomaticstore.com and... Mac's Chromagraphic pencils! xoxo ...
We all know or at least should know the saying, "you are what you eat". Fountain Beauty takes it to another level with their beauty molecules. Beauty molecules are liquid supplements that are for targeted ailments such as lackluster locks, a dull complexion, and even to perk up a frown. I saw these in a couple different places and the packaging alone makes...
Allure's "50 Beauty Products to Buy Before You Die" is an inspiring list comprised of high end (some very high end) and basic beauty products you need to try before you "kick the bucket". Find the article here. I found this list to be pretty good but I have some of my own to add, Younique's 3D Fiber Lash - The best mascara for...
Lately I have been finding myself becoming more and more curious about all natural beauty and skincare. More brands are coming along with amazing products that have ingredients as organic as what is in your fridge. If you don't want to purchase pre-made products there is also the world of homemade beauty products and skincare. We are talking food grade skincare people! Oatmeal for my face? Sure!
I have my mother in law and one of my best friends Kendall to thank for getting me more involved with healthy skincare and cosmetics. It's such a huge part of the beauty world and I am just touching the surface of this wondrous place! This series of posts will concentrate on homemade and all natural products from lipstick to facial oil. I hope to help people become aware of this growing industry and find great products along the way!
Now I am not planning on going full on organic/natural in all of my beauty products. I do still have tons of items in my collection that I love which are not organic or natural. I am expanding my horizons and dipping into healthier products. All types of beauty interests me so this includes the natural section as well!
Have some natural beauty and skincare favorites of your own? Share them below, I would love to check them out!

I read on a few different blogs and Pinterest that lavender essential oil is great for keeping your lashes long and strong by adding it to your mascara. Of course I had to go out and purchase some to get started. I will put putting a tiny bit of lavender and possibly the rose hip oil into my Younique 3D Fiber Lash mascara and will definitely keep you guys updated on my thoughts/results. So exciting!Have some natural beauty and skincare favorites of your own? Share them below, I would love to check them out!

This is going to be a new series of posts! I know everyone looks for budget friendly makeup whether it be dupes for high end products or just an affordable favorites. When you are able to find a mascara or lipstick that is just as good as the high end brands it is worth sharing! So here I will share with you good...
I received the email about this about a week ago and was immediately interested. I haven't done any theatrical makeup yet but it is definitely intriguing to me. During the Fall season when I was planning and preparing for all of my Halloween looks this set would have been an awesome addition! The email sent stated that the set includes 11 brushes used...
If you haven't tried Mac's Original Pro Longwear foundation then you are missing out! I love it. It's perfect for when you need your makeup to stay put, e.i. events, summer weather, etc. I am definitely intrigued by this new formula. It looks like it might be a little more moisturizing than the original. That will be nice for us dry skinned ladies...
