January Favorites!!!

 Wow can't believe January is long gone. What a great month is was. I want to share will you all some of the products I was loving for the month of January.

First off lets talk about Skin MD. I first heard about this product from another blogger and YouTube girl makeupbytiffanyD. This lotion honestly can be used anywhere on the body. It is so moisturizing that I have actually opted this to be my night time moisturizer. Totally not sticky blends into your skin so good. Feels so soft and silky. Its just amazing! They use to sell it at Walgreen's or CVS but I have not seen in it quite a while but you can always get it http://www.skinmdnatural.com/

Next Product is my eye cream that I use mornings and night! I have tried so many of these. I have about 5 on my makeup stand. But I always seem to fall back to L'Oreal eye defense cream. For some reason I think it really works. My eye area is always so smooth and I feel like my fine lines don't show up as much :) as you can see in the picture Im almost out of it. The good thing is that I can always find it at the drugstore. 

I think it retails at Walgreen's for about $10.00

What girl doesn't love great Lashes. I sure do and I'm always looking for that mascara they makes them look long and full. So as you can imagine I have so many but this month I have been using L'Oreal Voluminous Full Definition mascara. I can't say anything bad about this product. Im totally in love with it. The brush is not thin or fat just right in the middle. And it doesn't leave your lashes looking clumpy. 

Retails at $7.99

My next product I actually discovered not to long ago on one of my drugstore adventures. Its funny this month I have gone towards a lot of L'Oreal products. So when I discovered this liquid eyeliner I couldn't believe I hadn't tried this sooner. I wear eyeliner mostly everyday, this one gives you such a persist line and I think its super easy to work with. Now if your not to comfortable with doing your eye with a liquid liner trust me it takes practice but I would go with one a little more softer than this one. 

L'Oreal Infallible Super Slim Liquid Liner retails at $8.99

My next product I have been using it for months. All time favorite I have to say and yes another Drugstore product. Its my Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser. I can rage and rage about this product I love it. It does exactly what it says it does. 

• Erases dark circles and fine lines
• Diminishes the appearance of puffiness
• Eye area looks radiant and refreshed 

Retails at $9.79 

My next product was actually something I refused to try I was just not feeling them. Every time I would see them I would just be like these things look so weird . And then one day my sister pops one out from her purse, I'm like oh you have one too. She raged about this product so much I actually ended up buying it. Now I owned 2 and I want more. They are the eos smooth lip balm for your lips. I apply this every morning before lipstick and every night before bed. My lips feel great and smooth. They come in different flavors and I have to say they will last you a long time. They are great. 

Retails for $2.99

Last but not least is my Foundation. This is a newbie that I will be reviewing soon on my blog. I cant tell you much about it but its been my go to Foundation for the past 2 weeks. But you will definitely see a review on my blog coming up. I have to say I'm loving it.

Retails at $9.99

 All drugstore products which is the best part! 

Oh wait I can't believe I forgot to mention my favorite Lipstick for the month of January!!! The winner is MAC Saint Germain. ALL I have to say is LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

Hope you enjoyed my January Favorites!

Hello February!!!

Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm REVIEW!!!

FINALLYYYYY!!!!!

   Hello Everyone I just want to say sorry that I have taken to long to write this review. I really wanted to try it out and see if it gave me any results. So here it is. I want to start off by what UD says the BB cream will do.

 Minimize pores, lines, wrinkles and redness instantly. Get          significantly firmer, more lifted skin in 8 weeks.

I just want to let you know that I did try this product for 2weeks and I have to say I actually love it. I did notice right away that it did Minimize Pores, about the lines and wrinkles its said give it about 8 weeks, I really can't tell you that my lines have completely gone away I am 30 :) and yes I have lines. Now here is where this product sold me. I do have a lot of redness around my cheeks, when I wake up in the morning and take off my makeup at night the redness shows immediately. Every morning right before putting on my everyday products I would go ahead and apply UD BB cream. Right away the redness would disappear. It did give my skin a slight tint but I've tried different Tinted Moisturizers that have given me more color than this. The best thing about this is that its SPF 20 how great is that! Here on some photos so you can see a little more of the color that in comes in. 

As you can see the color is darker than my actual skin but I can tell you that it blends in so smoothly. It actually makes your skin look healthy. Very moisturizing too.But not sticky.

Here's a pic of me in the morning with nothing on my face.

The light washes some of the redness on my face! 

This is just right after applying my makeup and only the UD BB cream, again the light washes my actual color but it blended so well and my face felt Naked ;) it felt like I was wearing anything, not heavy at all. I do like a bit more coverage, but applying even the BB cream before your Foundation is awesome. It could definitely act like your face moisturizer.

Just another day trying it out. In this picture I have no foundation just UD BB cream.

With More natural light. Here I just added just a bit of my Cover Girl naturalLuxe Foundation. Which I use on a daily basis, on special occasions I use MAC MatchMaster.

Again the formula is not created for full coverage. I actually use it now daily as my daily moisturizer.

The Urban Decay BB cream retails at $34.

OOTD Casual Office Look

Today the OOTD is just a casual office look that you can wear during the day and take it into a night look by just changing your shoes. I'm not a big fan of high heels to work.  I try to always be comfy and since I'm obsessed with flats I normally do flats or sandals and wedges during the summer time. 

   This black blazer is from Forever 21, Red Skinny's Jeans are 7ForAllMankind, Just a plain white shirt from Victoria Secret, Leopard Flats Forever 21, Accessories are from

Urban Decay Basics Palette Review

Hey Everyone... As you all probably already know Urban Decay just came out with its new Palette. Its all over YouTube, blogs and pretty much everywhere. It just came out in Sephora! Here's my thoughts on this tiny Palette, which by the way its called BASICS why because they are just basic colors that can be used everyday and even night. I actually got mines the day it came out yes at 12pm I placed my order. Its amazing I've been using it ever since I got it as my everyday look. All the colors like they said are Matte. Their is one that does have a little shimmer to it. Its the very first color on the Palette called Venus. But its beautiful you can use it as a highlighter color, inner tear duct or eve all over your lids. Its Gorgeous! 

Here are some swatches on my skin some are very light but great colors to use for blending!

Venus,Foxy,W.O.S(Walk of Shame)Naked 2,Faint,Crave

One thing about this Basics Palette that I love is that its great for traveling. You have all the colors you need for a natural look and for an evening look, you can definitely mix in that Crave color which is gorgeous. This Palette is extremely small, you can even put it in your back pocket (really you could) 

Its everything I expected it to be. Its Awesome! 

Now now you didn't think I was gonna end this blog with out saying anything negative. Well I do have one thing yes just one. Every time I want to open this Palette I have such a hard time opening it. I don't know if its me or what but I get super frustrated lol I just cant it to open right away. 

Hope you Enjoyed! Until my next blog. 

Oh one more thing don't forget to check out my OOTD!(outfit of the day) Starting in January!
