Good Bye November

Today I will be raving about all the wonderful products I have been
using for the month of November and trust me there are a lot :)
So I figured a blog post would be easier to do than a video.

1)Burt's Bees Honey lip balm
2)The colossal Volum' Mascara
3)Maybelline Loose Powder
4)E.L.F Powder Brush
5)Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit scrub
6)Out the Door topcoat
7)Milani Powder blush in #08 Luminous
8)St. Ives Apricot Scrub



I cannot get enough of all of these products. First off lip balm is a must
to prevent chap lips. Second the colossal Volum' Mascara gives me nice natural full lashes which I really love at the moment. I love this Maybelline loose powder it gives me a great matte finish without feeling too cakey and ofcourse I apply that with my $3 studio E.L.F Powder Brush.
I have been struggling a lot with acne these past months and I finally found something that is helping me the Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit scrub is working wonderfully and it has an amazing smell. I have been using the St. Ives Apricot Scrub to have smooth skin before I shave to remove any dead skins cells which leaves my legs smooth for a couple days longer.
Last but not least are my guilty pleasures which I splurge on. They are the Out the and the Milani Powder blush in #08 Luminous I cannot go this winter without them. This top coat is amazing leaves my nails looking great for a whole week. The Milani powder Blush is Great has enough shimmer to make my skin slightly glow and create a nice flush of color.

Hope you enjoyed this November's Favorites I will Blog soon I promise.

My Newest Scent Obsesion

Viva La Juicy has stolen my heart :)


This Perfume with top notes of wild berries and juicy mandarin gently tempered with honeysuckle, gardenia, and jasmine. Underlying it all are warm tones of amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood, and praline. Boldly bottled with Juicy charms and rocked in fuchsia wrap. 1oz

It's no wonder it has just taken over my life the wonderful notes of jasmine and honeysuckle are alone to leave you smiling all day long. It has a girly yet sophisticated smell that I love. Don't get me wrong this was my splurge of this month and with a price tag of $40+ for a 1oz bottle I won't be wasting any of it. Luckly I got mine at Costco where all designer perfumes were $29.99+ tax but once you factor in the original prize of $38+ it was totally worth it.

Let me know your favorite perfume I am always on the hunt for the next fragrance that will steal my heart.

Have you ever wondered what difference does a high end nail polish and a lower end one have? You can now pretty much find many of your favorite high end colors in a drugstore version (some might not be the same color but very close to it) So what stops you from buying that cheaper version?
-How fast will it chip?
-Does it have good pay off?
-Will it last through a heavy work week?

I have found that no matter what kind of nail polish I buy I get the same results my nail polish last about a week and it just has a few minor chips and why is that you may ask...

A Top Coat (not just any) I use the Out the door Top coat for nails it has 0.5 fl. Oz (15 mL.) and you can now get it at most pharmacies I payed $4.99 and definitely worth it. You can also try Seche vite and it has 0.5 fl. Oz (15 mL.) this might be more pricey depending on where you buy it.
But if you apply a Top Coat you will surely see a difference in how long your nail polish will last and will be saving you money at the end :)



Let me know if you want to know more about how to keep your nail polish lasting longer?
Until next time

Organizing your Make Up 1

Organization is never a easy thing and if you are just a beginner with Make up it can be quite challenging. I decide to provide pictures of how I like to organize my make up hopefully this helps any new make up lover like myself :)



You can buy these plastic pencil organizational sectors at any local store (Dollar stores, Walmart, Kmart, Target, etc.) They come 3 for a dollar and come in a variety of colors as well.



These organizational sectors are a great way to keep your drawers organized so you won't have to search for you favorite mascara or lipstick. They can even hold hair ties or hair bands(pictured below)



Remember Organize your make up the way you want these are just helpful tips and suggestions and always have fun :)

Packing and leaving everything behind

So as I am sitting here trying to figure out how
much I can pack into one suit case it has just hit me I
am in no way shape or form ready for this trip I feel
like I haven't bought enough stuff and I definitely have not
done enough research :( So here is a list of my worries
1) I will probably forget something :(
2) My suit case will way 1 pound extra than the 33 pound allowed
3) I will get sick... Thank God for Pepto
4) I will get homesick
As you can see my list is short but this still worries me
Hopefully I have everything I need and I can calm myself down
if I prepare more and just enjoy this experience
