Beauty, Skincare, and a bit of Lifestyle
I originally had thought to post my review of this palette and then wait a few weeks to share a tutorial with the palette…but after playing around with this palette, I thought it would be best to combine the two.
I know I’m going to be giving away my review…but I honestly wasn’t very impressed with this palette. But before I spill all the beans, let’s jump into the tutorial!
I’ve never done a monthly beauty favorites in the past, but I wanted to give it a go for 2015. Let me know if this is something you enjoy seeing, or not so much. I really love hearing y’alls feedback on what I post. 🙂
Hopefully these posts won’t be too length or drawn out — my goal is to share with you a few of the products that I used the most during the month, and why I like them.
Let’s jump right into it, shall we?!
My Top 3 Sephora Recommendations
This formula helps skin achieve a natural, illuminated and bright
finish— like the beautiful skin you were born with. Naked Skin is
formulated with light-diffusing spheres, transforming you to look
professionally retouched. Buildable coverage allows women to customize
their look. Available in a meticulously calibrated range of shades,
Urban Decay’s precise shade numbering system does poetic justice to both
warm tones (ending in “.0”) and cool skin tones (ending in “.5”). The
finish is matte, never flat, and luminous, but not shiny.
Ideal for all skin types, Radiant Creamy Concealer is a multiaction
formula that instantly obscures imperfections, blurs the appearance of
lines and wrinkles, and hides dark circles and signs of fatigue.
Hydrating and luxuriously smooth, it layers lightly for buildable
medium-to-full coverage and a natural luminous finish. The multiactive
botanical blend hydrates, firms, reduces redness, and strengthens the
skin by helping its barrier retain vital moisture. It also delivers
antioxidant protection to protect the skin against damaging free
radicals.
Made with a double-dose of premium micronized pigments, this lip pencil
delivers a modern matte look. This lip color delivers super antioxidant
resveratrol, which fights free radicals with potent long-term antiaging
benefits. Each lip pencil contains the amount of resveratrol found in
five glasses of red wine.

It’s the middle of the week already. Wow! My week has just flown by, in a very good way. I hope your week is going well, also!
Today I have a review of a newly released product — at least, I just started seeing it pop up at my local Ulta. Since I had mixed feelings about mascara, I thought it best to post my review of it sooner rather than later, to give y’all a heads up on it. 🙂
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I spent a lovely couple of days with my husband. 🙂 So since I’ve been traveling a bunch this past month, I thought it’d be fun to share with you all the products that I took with me. 🙂
I won’t ramble on too much, I promise — I’m just going to go over all the products and tell you why I brought them.
Let’s break it down in different categories!
While I love a variety of brands and I’m one of those girls who uses about 50 different brands when doing my makeup (anyone else do that? Anyone? I can’t be the only one!), It Cosmetics is one of those brands that stands out, in my mind, as having a lot of great products that I’ve loved over the years.
Yes, I’ve experienced a few duds (a review on one is coming soon, btw) — every brand does, more or less, but their outstanding products far outweigh the bad. And I love that, while they are high-end, they’re always featuring new products on QVC and offering it for an amazingly low price.
And that’s the news I’m excited to share with you today! They’re currently on QVC’s website as their featured Today’s Special Value —- and the best part is that all the products in this collection are brand new, never before seen!! 😀
I’ve been looking forward to bringing this review to you. If you were like me, you always looked over the Too Faced Melted lipsticks when you went to Sephora, but weren’t sure how something so bright would look on yours lips or how something that glossy could be longwear.
Well, let’s dive into the review and you’ll have all those questions answered!
