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.

November Favorites

It is almost Christmas and it is freaking me out.  I really can't believe the year is almost over.  November has come and gone and I have found some new gems and rediscovered some older ones.


L'oreal True Match Foundation - After hearing Anna & Amelia talk about this I pulled it out from my foundation drawer and low and behold I fell in love with it again.  It leaves a nice satin finish and has amazing staying power.  I can get at least 8+ hours of wear.

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer - I couldn't find my Fit Me concealer one day so I used my Nars and feel in love all over again.  It has great coverage and has a great satin finish just like the True Match.   I like to use them together.

Burberry Blush Nude Palette - Ughh I die for this palette.  Have I told you how much I love Burberry shadows ?  Cause I love them.  I have been really enjoying a mauvey, plumy eye lately.

Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara - I got this in a 500pt perk from Sephora and it is wonderful.  I really enjoy a mascara that has fiber bristles instead of plastic ones.  This gives volume and length and is very black.

Becca Blush in Flowerchild - I have been really into a glowy flush lately and this blush does that for me.  It gives me that natural flush look and it has a sheen to it.

Kevyn Aucoin Candlelight - This is such a cult classic and I totally understand why.  It gives such an amazing glow and really helps my cheekbones stand out.

Albeit Nourishing Lip Balm - If you enjoy Dior's Rose Balm or the By Terry Baume de Rose then you will love this stuff.  It is a rose scented balm that leaves your lips extra moisturized.  I found this recently at Anthropologie and I have been loving it.

Dior Smoky Nail Polish - Dior always comes out with these cute little nail polishes during the holiday season and this year I had to get one.  The shade Smoky is a deep plumy shade and almost looks black on the nails.  It is perfect for this time of year.

October Favorites

Tom Ford Traceless Perfecting Foundation - I have been raving about this for months now.  This is the most perfect foundation like ever.  I have never loved a beauty product as much as I love this.  It is long lasting and gives great coverage.  It isn't cakey and is a bit dewy.  I love using a beauty blender with it.  It is just utter perfection.

Chanel Camelia de Plumes Highlighter - This highlighter is so gorgeous.  It is a white gold shade (no it isn't silver) and it just melts into your skin.  I just think this looks amazing on my cheek bones.

YSL Volupte Sheer Candy #5 - This is such a beautiful berry shade and it is nice and sheer which means I can wear this to work.  It smells divine also.

Kiko Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow #5 - This shadow stick has been a go to lately !  It's a dusty rose shade that just makes blue eyes pop.  It lasts almost all day which is a huge plus.

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer - I recently fell back in love with this concealer.  It was on the back burner for a while but finally made a reappearance this month.  The shade Vanilla is perfect for under my eyes.  It doesn't crease and blends like a dream.

Tom Ford Extreme Mascara - I am almost at the end with this mascara.  It separates my lashes and gives them a bit of volume and it is very black.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette - Ughhh!! Love this sooooo much!!  I have used this everyday since I got it.  Incandescent Electra has been my go to.  These blushes are so beautiful and give the skin a gorgeous glow.



Also this month I have been loving my Malibu Bows leopard print clutch and my H&M bag.  As for tv I have been really into Criminal Minds.  I have been on Netflix binge watching it.

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!
