My Friday Five #10


I know this is going up a little late I am sorry. So let's see what I have been loving this week.


Estee Lauder Double Wear Light - I have had an acne flare up recently and this foundation helps cover them up but at the same time isn't too heavy.

Hourglass Luminous Bronzer - I have been using this all week to warm up my complexion.  It is the perfect shade for me and leaves me with a nice glow.

Armani Eyes to Kill #9 - Gold shades always look great with my blue eyes.  This Eyes to Kill is a nice pale gold that I use all over my lid.

Bite Beauty BB for Lips in Flush - I haven't been using too much lipstick lately so for some color I have been turning to this.  It leaves my lips moisturized and with a bit of color.

Dior Nail Polish in Sunwashed - I am obsessed with this shade of pale yellow.  It has been on my nails all week.  It is perfect for the spring time.  More too come this week.  


What have you been loving ??

Monthly Favorites {February}


We are one month closer to spring!  I am so excited.  My makeup game was pretty minimal this month.  I stuck to a few items and used them almost everyday. 


Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer - I finally repurchased this after too many month without it. I love how creamy it is and how easily it blends out and covers. 

Hourglass Modernist Palette in Exposure - These shadows are just absolutely gorgeous!  They blend like a dream and are amazingly pigmented. 

Tom Ford Cream Shadow in Platinum - On days when I am not sure what i exactly want to do with my eyes I turn to this.  I put this all over my eyes and I am good to go.  This shade just compliments my blue eyes so well. 

Armani Eyes to Kill Mascara - My absolute holy grail in mascaras.  I love how this makes my lashes look so voluminous and at the same time lengthens them a bit. 

Becca Blush in Flowerchild - This blush is perfect for a natural flush look.  It does have shimmer in it but, it does not translate onto your cheeks. 

Guerlain Kiss Kiss Lipstick in Rosy Silk - I have been going for a lighter lip lately and this is perfect for that.  I love the way these lipsticks feel on my lips. 

Albeit Lip Balm - Every morning I get up and apply this balm to my lips.  It is very nourishing and moisturizing.  



What are your favorites at the moment ??

My Friday Five #9


It's a little late but hey better late then never.  


Bobbi Brown Sheer Powder Brush - I ordered this brush pack in December and I have used it everyday since.  I love to use it for bronzer and blush.  It picks up just the right amount of product.  

Armani Eyes to Kill Mascara - This is holy grail status for me.  I can never be without this mascara.  It gives my lashes such volume and I don't need to curl my lashes either.  There is no flaking and no transferring.  I have never found another mascara that I love as much. 

Albeit Lip Balm - I use this lip balm every morning to prep my lips.  It has a thicker texture then my fav Jack Black or Malin + Goetz ones.  It really helps nourish my lips and get them ready for lipstick or gloss. 

Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Yu - I have wanted this shade for the longest and I was so happy to see it in the Nars Coffret.  It is such a beautiful bright pink shade and has made my winter a bit better. 

Physicians Formula Argan Oil Blush in Natural - I saw this in Harmon's one day and I could not resist.  Isn't it gorgeous !!  There is also a darker shade but I opted for the lighter one and it looks great on my pale skin.  


What are your favorites at the moment ??

Top 14 of 2014



Happy 2015!!! I can't believe another year has come and gone.  But 2014 was pretty good to me.  I was introduced to lots of new beauty products and I rounded up my top favs for you guys.


Bioderma - I am down the end of my bottle and I keep telling myself I don't need a new bottle.  Yeah ok, Amazon Prime to the rescue.  This is my holy grail of makeup removers.  It has never met a match it couldn't handle.

Origins Drink Up Intensive Mask - I don't know what I would ever do without this.  This is great for people with very dry or combo skin.  It isn't a mask you leave on for 10 mins and then wash off.  This is more of a very thick moisturizer that you lather on at night and let sink into your face.  When you wake up in the morning your face is hydrated.  I love this for the winter months.

Tom Ford Traceless Perfecting Foundation - I have never had such a love for a foundation before. I discovered this back in August and I have had a love affair with it ever since.  It lasts all day and has a medium coverage.  It has a satin finish and doesn't need to be powdered.  I have been searching for a foundation like this for years and I am so happy to have found it!

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer - The consistency of this is amazing.  It is very liquidy but at the same time it isn't runny.  I am able to use this as my under eye concealer and even at times I use this all over my face and just set with a powder.

Chanel Les Beiges Powder - Best setting powder!!  I love to use a light dusting of this after my foundation.  It helps set my foundation but, doesn't make me look matte.

Becca Blush in Flowerchild - I enjoy a good matte blush but, this blush came along and blew them out of the water.  It is the perfect pinky, coral shade that gives you a nice flush and has a beautiful satin finish.

MAC Definitely Defined - Unfortunately this was a limited edition product but, I use it so much I had to include it.  It is such a beautiful highlighter.  I have very pale skin and like a highlighter that has more of a champagne tone to it.  I think it complements me nicely.  And it isn't too shimmery.  I hate when a highlighter makes you look like a glitter ball.

Anastasia Brow Whiz - I have gone through three of these in one year.  This stuff is like auhhh mazzz balls.  It is so precise and taupe is the perfect shade for me.

Lorac Pro Palette - If I lost every other palette and only had this one that would be fine with me.  The shadows are so creamy and pigmented.  I grab for this palette at least twice a week.

By Terry Ombre Blackstar in Misty Rock - Let me start off my saying I love the Ombre Blackstars in general but, Misty Rock is such an amazing shade.  It is a dusty mauve color that looks s amazing on so many eye colors.  And it is a one and done kind of product.  I can use this all over the eye, buff it out, and I am done.  Plus the lasting power is amazing and no creasing.

Armani Eyes to Kill Mascara - This is my mascara.  It has fiber bristles and just gives you great looking lashes.  It gives them volume and a bit of length.  I have gone through two in the past year and don't know if I could ever go without it.

Malin + Goetz Lip Balm - This came in one of my Glossy Box's this year and I was blown away by how good it was.  It has a thicker texture then most lip balms and really hydrates my lips.  It also lasts longer then most.  It isn't too sticky either.

Sephora Formula X System - I have never been religious to a base and top coat before but these have now become my holy grails.  They help my polish last so much longer.  I get at least 5 days out of my manicures.

Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray - My hair has no volume whatsoever.  This stuff gives my fluffy hair such texture and volume it's so amazing.  I love to use this on my hair after I dry it and I also love to use it on my second day hair.  I love it more then dry shampoo.  And it smells amazing.



What are your favorites from 2014 ??

Giorgio & Nars: A Dynamic Duo


Well I had an amazing weekend, which we will discuss tomorrow.  But, today I wanted to tell you all about 2 products I have been loving.  Yes, you heard me right, I said loving.  In the past I have said I have a love/hate relationship with the Nars concealer, well as of right now we are truly in love!   
I have been reaching for this concealer everyday, never missing a beat.  It is just the right shade for my under eye area, not too dark but not too light.  It is creamy, but doesn't cake up.  And it lasts through an eight hour work day.  My wonderful dark circles do not reappear halfway through the day, and it truly helps my eyes look more awake.  
Now for the mascara, I will tell you right now to go stop what you are doing and go online and buy this mascara.  I have tried a whole load of mascaras in my day, but this beats them all, even my L'oreal & Tarte ones.  I first heard of this mascara from TiffanyD on youtube and was like I am never buying this $30 mascara.  Then a few weeks back my bff Jo said her sister swears by this and that tempted me.  So, of course when Sephora was having their 4x the points for VIB Rouge's I took the plunge.  And to be honest I will never look back.  This makes me lashes look just amazing.  Now I do not have long lashes, but I don't have stubby lashes either, but this has transformed them into goddess lashes.  I put two coats on and they just look FABULOUS!!  It doesn't transfer or flake either.  This mascara truly blows the rest right out of the water!  






What mascara and concealer have you been loving lately?


And I am going to leave you with this mouth watering photo to salivate on until tomorrow!
