Top Favorite Skin Care Products

Face & Neck Care

Pacifica Sea Foam Complete Face Wash ($10.00)

I've been a fan of this face wash for a number or years now. In fact, I'm a complete fan of the Pacficia brand themselves. I was using Cliniques Liquid Face Soap Mild until I discovered this your a YouTube channel. It has been a game changer in my facial cleansing routine. It not only cleans my face, it removes excess oil, dirt, and impurities, removes excess makeup my makeup remover didn't get and tones my skin. My skin has never broken out with this product, ever!

Clarisonic Sensitive Brush Head ($14.50 - $24.50)

I've used the normal brush head for years with my Clarisonic Mia 2, until I no longer could find it anywhere in stores or online. I ended up thinking, what's the worst that will happen? NOTHING. Nothing negative happened. In fact, positive things happened! Not only does it clean my face and neck, it makes it feel incredibly smooth and somewhat tightened and my pores are visibly smaller. The brush head itself is weird looking, almost like it has soft plastic pieces on the outside that you would think would hurt your face, but nope! It's so soft to the touch!

Clinique Clarifying Lotion ($14.45)

I can't stress enough to people about toning their face! It's the part where it balances the pH of your skin and without a proper pH balance, who knows what will happen! I've been using this since I was a teenager and it is the key to keeping my skin from breaking out and having severe problems! I can change my facial cleanser all I want, but this is the key right here!

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel ($28.00)

This is another issue I can't stress enough about! Moisturize your face! Just because you have an oily face doesn't mean it doesn't need to be moisturized. It does! Moisturizing keeps the moisture level balanced and from becoming haywire.

Clinique All About Eyes ($33.00 - $54.50)

When it comes to eye creams, you're allowed to be picky. I know I am! I need an eye cream that handle dark circles and puffiness because let's be honest, not all of us get a full 8 to 9 hours of sleep, haha. This helps with that A LOT. It dramatically reduces them instantly and overtime of using the product, it's a lightweight formula, non-greasy and quick absorbing. Perfect for me to use morning and night!

Clinique Moisture Surge 72-Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator ($12.00 - $54.00)

I have combination/oily skin and when I say oily, I mean oil slick! It's absolutely ridiculous how much oil a persons face can accumulate on it. But, there are times when my skin dries out for some odd reason and it needs some oil and moisture put back into it, this does the trick. Or if I've been out in the heat too long, I'll pop this jar in the fridge, let it cool down, and apply it to my face. It's like iced water in a jar!

Lip Care

LUSH Lip Scrub (Bubblegum) ($12.95)

This is a long time favorite of mine. No other lip scrub compares to it, none! It's a little pricey, but you get a lot in this little jar and a little bit goes a long way. I use this once or twice a week to remove any excess dead skin cells on my lips and it makes them feel very smooth and makes lipstick and chapstick applications wonderful!

CO Bigelow My Favorite Night Balm ($7.50)

I recently discovered this while shopping in Bath & Body Works for hand sanitizers and other things I enjoy from their store. An associate recommended it to me and let me tell you; BEST. LIP BALM. EVER. I ended up buying two; one for my purse and another for my bedside table to use before going to sleep. It keeps my lips moisturizes for hours without drying them out. It is a little on the sticky side if you apply too much, so a little goes a long way!

Hand & Body Care

LUSH Dream Cream Body Lotion ($7.95 - $39.95)

I've always suffered from dry, itchy skin on my hands and legs, ALWAYS! I can't remember when I didn't suffer from it. Especially on my hands. After so many different types of lotions and hand creams, I've found the holy grail of them all. This makes me hands so smooth, it even lasts into the next day through washing them and it has significantly changed the texture of my hands as well. They don't seem to have that dry, rough texture to them after using this a few times. It's light scented, not greasy and absorbs rather quickly, which is a plus in my book, since fragrances in products tend to irritate my skin.

Current Favorites

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today I'll be sharing a few of my current favorites that I've been obsessing over the last two weeks or so.

Morphe M554 Under Eye Setting Brush

I am so happy I was introduced to this brush. I was at Ulta awhile after Christmas and discovered they were carrying Morphe! I've always wanted to try their products and never got around to it except a few palettes I have which I love to pieces. This brush is amazing at setting my under eye power when I do my under eye concealer. It sets it smoothly and it doesn't crease at all during the length of time I wear my makeup. The bristles are soft and the handle is a good size to hold and handle when using it which is plus for me.

Morphe 213 Smudger Brush & Morphe 408 Chisel Shader Brush

I use these both in combination for doing and smudging out my under eyeshadow. They are small and precise and they don't drop a lot of fallout which I love. Soft bristles, good sized handle to use, and great performance out of these two brushes for one thing.

Moprhe Nature Glow Palette

I love this palette. It's been my go to everyday palette ever since I got it. I switch between this, another Morphe palette and the Jaclyn Hill x Morphe palette for everyday looks. These are such great shadows; they blend easily, are easy to work with, don't fade, don't have lots of fall out and have great outcome for everyday looks.

Shadows I've been using everyday are; Upfront, Popular, Clear, Newest, Creams, Bake, Wannabe, Choco, Riches, Glow Girl

Clarisonic Mia 2

I never knew I'd be so obsessed with this thing one day. I used to this daily, morning and night for when I washed my face and then all of a sudden I stopped using it and went back to being lazy and washing my face with my hands and my face started having terrible breakouts everywhere. I started using it again lately to help out! This keeps them all in check. It keeps my acne down, helps with the redness on my face to a degree, keeps my face feeling smooth and helps with the excess oil my face produces as well.

Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-off Formula

I love this for a facial scrub. It has never done me wrong on my face. I've started using it again in my regular face routine to keep my acne in check. I use it about two to three times a week (along with my charcoal mask once a week).

Pacfica Rose Water Sleek & Shiny Shampoo & Conditioner

My hair has gotten really long since I haven't had the time to make an appointment to get it trimmed. It's become harder to manage with and keep it from becoming damaged by the environment. This has really been helping it looks nice and shiny and sleek during the day and it smells amazing! The only thing I don't like about the shampoo is that it doesn't lather up well.

Au Lait Hand Lotion

I can't remember how I obtained this hand lotion, but I love it! It makes my hands feel so soft in the morning. It's now heavily scented either so it doesn't bother my skin.

Victoria's Secret PINK Rosy Quartz Scented Mist

I got this during a sale they were having and it's a nice scent; very light and girly.

Blogmas 2017 Day 13: Christmas Wishlist

Blogmas 2017 Day 13: Christmas Wishlist

I'm not sure what I really want this year. It's been a rough year finally for me and some close people to me, mainly due to the impact of Hurricane Irma. Many of us lost jobs, homes and family members.

I have a few things I've wanted to try this year or would like to have refills on.

Clarisonic Cleansing Brush Drying Stand
I saw this online and thought, how cool is that. I normally put mine on a seperate towel on my bathroom counter with the brush head facing down to let it air dry.

Clarisonic Cleansing Brush Head Replacement (Normal)
I really need a new one.

Beautyblender Pro Beauty Sponge
I use the pro version on their blotting sponge and I love it for blotting myself throughout the day. Maybe the beauty sponge is just as good. I hear the different colors have different benefits? Who knows.

Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette
I love orange to rusty eyeshadow colors and I've been wanting to have this ever since it came out.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette
I love this brands eyeshadow and contour palettes. This palette is another one of those everyday looks that isn't too dark or too light for me.

Morphe Jaclyn Hill Eyeshadow Palette
I love Morphe eyeshadow and I'm a huge fan of Jaclyn Hill (I met her in person)

Clinique Pretty Easy Liquid Eyeliner Pen
I love this eyeliner pen. It's an exact dupe for the Kat Von D one. Only difference is the price, $2 cheaper.

Too Faced White Chocolate Bar
Not sure if this is still in stores but I love their chocolate bar palettes and I love white chocolate. Does it smell like white chocolate?

Sephora or Ulta Gift Card
Sometimes people forget or don't how to find makeup for me, so they just get me a gift card to there instead so I can the makeup I asked for.
______________________________________

IKEA Alex 9 or 5 Drawer Unit
I already have the 9 drawer unit that is sharing makeup and crafting supplies. I'd like either of the sized to replace my sterilite drawer system that has my crafting supplies in it. It's just not practical anymore.

Michael's Gift Card
I'm a huge crafter so I would like to have one of these!

May 2016 Favorites!

Hello beautifuls, it's that time again; monthly favorites! I can't believe it's already June! We're half way through the year!

Clinique Cheek Pop (Heather Pop):

This blush is another one of those perfect "soft pink mauve" blushes! It goes on so smooth and it feels like you're putting silk on your face. 

Wet n Wild Highlighter & Concealer:

This little guy is about $5 and well worth it. You don't get much in the product but, for the price you get quality. I use this for concealing and highlighting my under area and it does wonders. Does crease or budge.

Clinique Pretty Easy Liquid Eyelining Pen:

I've mentioned the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner several times in empties and favorites and it's by far my top favorite liquid liner. But, I discovered this on the Sephora website and gave it a try; fell in love. It's an exact dupe for the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner, and better! It's extremely black, stays all day, doesn't smudge, and it's forever to get this off.

Clinique Matte Lipstick (Matte Suede):

I've never tried any of Clinique's matte lipsticks, I didn't even know they had them! I got this in a bonus gift as a full size lipstick. It's a lovely shade of nude. It's not drying to my lips either, like some matte lipsticks do. Very soft and creamy.

Clinique Stay Matte Oil-Free Makeup:

This is always a go-to summer foundation for me. It's a medium to full coverage, holds up to sweat and humidity, blends very well, stays all, and controls my oil.

NYX Contour Palette:

I finally got my hands on this baby! I saw it in Ulta all the time but couldn't justify spending almost $40 on this because I was hearing mixed reviews about it. I found a bunch at Target on a new NYX display and I guess the prices have gone down. I was litterly drooling over this palette so my boyfriend 

BeautyBlender Solid Cleanser:

I'm glad I went back to this cleaner for my brushes and makeup sponges, it just gets them clean! I still enjoy my Dr. Bronner's soap, they are amazing but, it can be hard to rinse out all the suds. I guess this added a new feature to the solid, they now have this little stand that you can use to dry your makeup sponge on or deep clean your makeup brushes - which is what I use it for! It's a great tool for it's small size, it gets all the gunk out of those brushes, even bronzer, which sticks so bad!

Redken High Rise Volume Lifting Shampoo & Conditioner:

I'll be honest, I don't normally spend a lot of money on shampoo/conditioner because for the longest time, I thought it was just to get your money and the stuff didn't even work anyway. I recently got my hair done (shortened with layers) and it's so full of life again! The stylist was washing my hair with this, first thing I noticed; the scent! It's very exotic and pleasing to the nose. This does give my hair volume without weighing it down or leaving feeling sticky, like I've had with past few volume shampoos/conditioners. Redken isn't cheap, for the both of these I spent about $35 but, worth it!

Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Two Day Extender:

When I got my hair redone, she recommended I not use the drugstore version of dry shampoo as they were dumping a lot of product in my hair and adding to my already dry scalp. She recommended this to use every few days to keep my style in. It works like a charm; no oil for two days!

L'Oreal Smooth Intense Frizz Taming Serum:

I've been using this after I shampoo my hair and it helps to help my hair from getting frizzy from being outside in the humidity.

Bath & Body Works Shower Gel (French Lavender & Honey):

This smells so good. It almost has a soothing scent to it.

EOS Shave Cream (Tropical Fruit):

In previous blogs and videos I've said I would never go back to scented or regular shaving creams because they irritate my skin but, this one hasn't done anything to my skin. Maybe they changed their formula, in the past I've had horrible luck with these creams (mess going everywhere, clogging up the razor). 

Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub (Moroccan Rose):

This smells amazing! It smells like roses and pure sugar! It's less grainy than the other scrubs and makes my legs smooth. I use this as a pre-shaving scrub.

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Chic Perfume:

I got this for Christmas last year and I absolutely love this. It's very a feminine scent!

Guess Girl Perfume:

My boyfriend gave me this as a graduation gift. It's one of my favorites and it's a very girly scent.

April & May 2016 Empties!

Hello beautifuls! Looooong time no see. It's been almost three months since my last blog post and six months with my lass video posting. I have some news, I'm back, of course. But, I have finally graduated with my Associate in Arts degree! So I'm done with my general education. I'm doing Associate in Science for my veterinary technician certification on an online school so I'm done with school just yet... but, I don't have to worry about getting to class for awhile. This last class took my main focus off my makeup community.

Today, I'll be sharing my April/May 2016 Empties! It's been awhile since I've done one of these and if I can remember, my last empties blog/video was a long one. I had so much stuff to share! This time, I don't have as much to share but, I though I'd share!

Vegas Nay Classic Charm False Eyelashes:

I bought these over a year ago and I guess I forgot about them. I use one of the larger drawers in my IKEA Alex 9 Drawer unit as a eyelash/back-up/unused product drawer. I finally wore them once earlier this year and then again my college graduation; they are amazing. They are about $5-6 at Target. They are light weight, easy to apply, don't kink up, and they can be wore a few times.

Too Faced Chocolate Solei Matte Bronzer (Light/Medium):

I had this bronzer for almost an entire year..... until it finally fell apart getting ready on the morning of my graduation day. It had a small amount left in the pan. This bronzer is my absolute favorite everyday bronzer. I use it to bronze my cheeks and temples.

ELF Clear Eyebrow/Eyelash Gel:

I come back to this product very often, simply because it's the cheapest eyebrow gel out there. And it's worth the small price. You don't get that much product, but you do get quality with this product. It holds my brows in place, they don't smudge, smear, or melt with this.

Hard Candy Fast & Fabulous Makeup Setting Spray:

This is a favorite setting spray. It makes my makeup lasts for hours and holds my oil back from coming through. It's around $8 at Walmart.

MAC Paint Pot (Painterly):

I've been using this for a few years and it's always a favorite. I have oily eyelids and most eye primers don't work as good as this. This keeps my eyeshadow on all day with no smudging or smearing!

Up&Up Sensitive Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes:

I've mentioned the Simple makeup removing wipes dozens of times on my blog and channel, and I love them! But I've been getting into trying the "house brand" of certain items and seeing if they work just as well. For this one, they work basically the same but, the towels have different texture, very smooth texture. This took all my makeup off without bothering my skin.

Clinique All About Eyes:

I have been using this for a few years (on and off) and I finally got into a routine of using it, and it actually helped with my dark circles. It helps my undereye concealer from creasing as well.

Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Mild:

I go back to this face wash often. It's the one I originally started with when I had horrible acne problems. This always cleans my face, leaves it clean and smooth feeling.

ELF Daily Brush Cleaner:

I use this as a spot cleaner for my brushes in between deep cleaning them.

Not Your Mothers Plump For Joy Thickening Shampoo & Conditioner:

I actually really enjoyed using these two on my hair. It added volume but, for some reason I can't seem to find it anywhere. It smells like grapes and plums! It's pricy (around $9 at Target), but you get a lot in the tubes and you end up using every bit of it!

Dove Dry Shampoo:

Favorite go-to dry shampoo of all of them! It makes my hair smell great, gets the excess oil out and adds a bit of volume to my hair!

Bath & Body Works Wallflower (Black Teakwood):

If you're a fan of the orignal Mahagony Teakwood, you'll like this one, it's like a darker, more spicy very of the original.

Bath & Body Works Wallflower (Baja Cactus Blossom):

Smells a lot like cacti plants and fresh spring flowers.

Bath & Body Works Wallflower (Mint Lemon):

This smells like mint and lemon, perfect for the kitchen but, I had mine in the bathroom.

ScentSationals Wax Melt (Mountain Twilight):

This wax smells a lot like something I would melt during the Fall or Winter time. It smells very woody and crisp like something from high mountains. 

ScentSationals Wax Melt (Rock Candy):

This wax melt smells like sugar!

March 2016 Favorites!

Hello beautifuls! Since we're back at blogging again, I figured I would start off with my end of the month favorites. For those of you who are new, it's basically talking about products I loved during the previous month (in this case, March).

I don't have much, since March I focused mainly on work, school, my other hobbies, and opening my two etsy shops and getting them some what rolling. I didn't try many new things, I used up a lot of things I already had, so this post might be a little short.

Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara:

Talk about a long name.... this mascara packaging is huge! The wand is also humongous and gives pretty good volume to my lashes with about two coats. It does clump a tiny bit but, I take my lash comb and comb through my lashes and that fixes this. Other than that, I loved this mascara.

Clinique Pretty Easy Liquid Eye Lining Pen:

I know, I know..... I've raved beyond everything about the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner. It's been in multiple empties, videos, tutorials, and a few favorites but, I think I just found it's rival and dupe. This stuff is amazing. It goes on black, stays black, doesn't fade or budge, and is extremely easy to use. 

Clinique Super Primer Universal Face Primer:

This has been in a previous favorites, several empties and videos on my beauty channel. It's one of the only primers I can use on my extremely oily skin. It keeps my pores and skin matte and gives me a great starting base for my foundation application.

Estee Lauder Palette (No Name):

This was part of a gift set my mother had gotten around Christmas time. It has no name except the names inside the palette. Let me just say, THE PACKAGING! Just look at it! It's amazing. I honestly think these colors are better for a day when I want a minimal makeup look day. They are beautiful, easy to blend, and do not fade.

Real Techniques Deep Cleansing Gel Brush Cleaner:

When I saw this at Ulta I thought, why not. I'm in love with Dr. Bronner's soap and a few other brush cleaners. I really love this one. It gets all the makeup out and makes them look like new again. Only con is it's not the best of getting rid of makeup stains in your brush from when makeup has been sitting in the bristles for a few days prior to being washed. Other than that, it's a great cleaner and it smells wonderful.

Not Your Mother's Plump For Joy Thickening Shampoo:

I ran out of my original giovanni shampoo and couldn't find it anywhere and was using L'Oreal for awhile and hated it until I found these guys. These are great! They smell like grape vine, they add volume, they clean my hair, they are free of dyes and sulfates which are horrible to my hair, and they make my hair feel very soft.

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Chic:

I had gotten this for Christmas 2015 from my mother. I didn't even ask for this or any fragrance at all. I guess she may have noticed that I liked this scent a lot. Seriously, every time I pass by it, I have to spray some on me. I noticed I was wearing this a lot during March. It's not an every day fragrance but, it's very spring and feminine.

ScentSationals Wax Melts (Orchid Paradise & Himalayan Pink Salt):

I have to say, for $2 at walmart, these are pretty good wax melts. They don't last as long as some of the more expensive ones or higher end brands but, they are extremely fragrant and when they are in my wax melt, they cover the entire upstairs area.

Well, that's it for my March 2016 Favorites, I hope you enjoyed the read.

Blogmas 2015 Day 10: Gift Guides for Her!

Blogmas 2015 Day 10: Gift Guides for Her!

Trying to decide what to get for her is hard.... mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, whoever! Everyone changes every year, they're hobbies and interests change and you lose track of what they like. I've put together a small list of ideas that I believe most women would enjoy;

Bite Beauty Discovery Set - $55
This set has Bite Beauty favorites in it; their lip exfoliating mask, lipstick erasing clothes, and three of their top selling lip products. Surely, any woman you know who is a lipstick fanatic would love to receive this.

Smashbox ART. LOVE. COLOR. Master Class - $65
This is the third edition of the master class palette series from Smashbox. These are quite expensive but, they are worth every penny. You get high pigmented eyeshadows, blushes and bronzers in this set. Smashbox makes high quality eyeshadows, so whoever receives this palette will not be disappointed.

Clinique Little Holiday Helpers - $17
This set comes with a chubby lipstick, two different moisturizing creams, and a liquid face wash. This is a great set if you know someone who wants to try out a new skincare line but, doesn't know which one to try out!

The Original Beautyblender - $20
This sponges are great for applying makeup. They last several months before needing to be replaced, they're easy to clean and take care of, and they are easy to store anywhere. They make applying liquid foundation, concealer and any liquid products easy and in half the time as a makeup brush.

The Original MakeUp Eraser - $20

Using makeup removing wipes can be a drag at times, specially when they get pricey and you use them up faster then you buy them, This special cloth is make of microfiber material and is designed to remove all your makeup with some warm water.

Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush - $89.50
This brush system is similar to the one from Clarisonic only it's made by Clinique and driven towards those who have extremely sensitive skin or can't tolerate the Clarisonic. It has two sections in the brush head for a regular and a deep clean.

Clinique Limited Edition Wow, Pretty Now Set ($100 Value) - $39.50
This set reminds me of the bonus gifts Clinique gives away during their bonus events.

Perfect for any woman is starting out or wants more to choose from.

September & October 2015 Empties!

Happy Sunday! I can't remember the last time I filmed or posted about my monthly empties, it's been months since my last one! During September and October, I used a lot of things up!

Makeup

Lorac Cobra Mascara:

This was a deluxe sample I got with a purchase from Ulta awhile back. I'm not a huge fan of this mascara. The wand looks cool but, it doesn't do anything to my lashes except make them a mess.

Clinique Stay Matte Oil-Free Makeup:

This is hands down, my go-to foundation for the summer time here in Florida. It's so hot, sticky, and humid here during the summer and this foundation holds up through all of the humidity, sweat, oil, doesn't break down easily, and is very lightweight! 

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder:

Favorite setting powder! This stuff is amazing! I get this in the transparent shade everytime I buy a replacement and it keeps my foundation in place, keeps me matte, and controls shine. The only beef I have with this product is: the packaging! I wish they would turn this into a close able compact like most pressed powders. This top makes it hard to store sometimes, not travel friendly, and it makes a huge mess at times.

ELF Eyelid Primer:

If you want a good eyelid primer and you're on a budget, this is for you! It's not as heavy duty and strong and some of it's higher end friends but, it does a darn good job and keeping shadows from creasing and falling apart!

Revlon Colorstay Foundation:

This is another go-to foundation. Not just some summer time, but anytime of the year. It stays matte and lasts all day. I just wish they would make this a pump type of foundation. I've never been a fan of pouring makeup onto my hand with these types of bottles.

Rimmel Stay Matte Primer:

Next to my BECCA Ever-Matte Pore Perfecting Primer (which is hands down, my all time favorite primer for my skin type), this primer comes pretty close to it and for $6, I can't beat that. It's like a lotion formula and is a bit greasy but once it sets in, my skin is matte, my foundation is matte, my oil stays controlled and my foundation stays together. It's not as long priming as my other long wearing primers, but it comes very close to them.

Maybelline FitMe Concealer:

I fell in love with this concealer earlier this year. I read it was a dupe for the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer and I decided to give it a go. I was blown away! It is perfect for sculpting my eyebrows, covering my dark circles, and covering blemishes.

Face & Body Care

Giovanni Fragrance Free Sensitive Skin Shave Cream:

I honestly don't know where my skin would be if I hadn't discovered this. Before this, I couldn't shave at all without red, irritated legs that would scream for days after shaving. My skin (especially my legs) are sensitive to scented products. I use this for shaving (with a combination of exfoliation before hand) and my legs are smooth, moisturized, and not itchy or irritated.

Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub (Tropical Mango):

I absolutely love this sugar scrubs for my body and legs. This one smells delicious and fills the entire bathroom with the scent after taking a shower. The only issue with this specific scent, is it's very grainy feeling compared to a few others I've used in the past.

Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant (Freshwater Orchid):

What can I say? We all have to have deodorant and, this one works for me.

Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Stay Matte Hydrator:

I've been using for almost a year now and it's probably the best moisturizer for my oily skin. It keeps me matte all day and controls my oil while still keeping my skin hydrated.

Caudalie Anti-Aging Defense Serum:

This was a sample given to me. It was only good one night so I really don't know what to say about it. It feels really good though but, can I say it made a difference? Not enough product to find out...

Hair Care

Dove Dry Shampoo:

I've tried a lot of dry shampoos out there (not all of them!) and this one works amazing for my hair. It gets rid of the oil, makes my hair smell good, gives it volume, and I'm able to use this up to third day hair with no problems.

L'Oreal Smooth Intense Polishing Conditioner:

I didn't not like this conditioner. I thought it would help my hair since it's been a little on the frizzy side lately and always been unmanageable, but no. It made it worse and made my hair very greasy looking. I think this was making my hair fall out.

Tresemme Extra Firm Control Hairspray:

Best hairspray ever. I use this on the regular.

Hand Sanitizers

Bath & Body Works Hand Sanitizer (Black Cherry Merlot):

This sanitizer is in their new packaging (which I personally prefer, it stays in the holder and doesn't bust open in your purse or car), It makes like a grape wine or like being a grape vineyard. 

Bath & Body Works Hand Sanitizer (Donuts About You):

This smells so sweet, it almost makes me think of having donuts.

Candles

Bath & Body Works Candle (Twisted Peppermint):

This smells sooooooooo good! I love peppermint smells and anything peppermint! This burns for hours and made the whole kitchen smell like a peppermint wonderland.

Wallflowers

Bath & Body Works Wallflower (Leaves):

This smells a lot like the candle. It smells like very spicy and sweet and makes me think of fall leaves that you would see up North. It just gives you the feeling of being in an area full of trees during the fall time.

Bath & Body Works Wallflower (Black Cherry Merlot):

Once I fell in love with the hand sanitizer, I got the wallflowers. I couldn't resist. These are so strong smelling, they will fill your room up and parts of outside your room. Like I said, being in a vineyard while watching television or reading a book.

Bath & Body Works Wallflower (Mahogany Teakwood):

This is my all time favorite scent for candles and wallflowers from them. It smells very spicy and masculine, but it's a soothing and inviting scent. It's also a very strong scent. Honestly, it reminds me of men cologne. 

❤

I hope you enjoyed my empties for the months of September and October. Did you have any empties for these two months?

March 2015 Favorites!

 Hello beautifuls. It's that time again, out with an old month and in with the new month.... and also monthly favorites time!

Makeup

MAC Warm Neutral Palette:

YOU CAN DEFINITELY TELL THIS PALETTE HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS! Seriously, It's gotten beaten up so much from use. Even though this is an everyday, go-to neutral palette for me, I noticed I was using this palette so much during the month of March. I've been such a late sleeper, sleeping in, waking up late, and throwing on the quickest neutral eye I can do with this palette.

L'Oreal La Palette Nude 2:

I was very excited when I saw photos of these two palettes L'Oreal came out with on Instagram and a blog regularly read. I haven't played around much with the first palette, but the second one has won my heart. Every time I've wanted a soft purple look, I've been grabbing this palette. These colors are beautiful and pigmented.

Wet N Wild Shimmer Palette (Hollywood Boulevard):

I spotted this at a Walgreens one night and picked it up. I originally saw it swatched on an Instgram photo and wanted to find it and try it out for myself. I really love this as a highlight for my cheek bones, bridge of my nose, and above the tails of my brow bones. It's a perfect gold for summer time and shows up so beautifully in pictures.

Hard Candy Baked Bronzer (Tiki):

I think I'm the last person on this planet to get on the "Hard Candy Tiki Wagon" ... everyone and their mother raves about this being a wonderful drugstore highlight, and it is! It's another pretty golden highlight, but softer than Hollywood Boulevard by Wet n Wild.

Wet n Wild Contouring Palette (Dulce De Leche):

I love using this duo for everyday contouring. Mostly for the contour side more than the highlight side. It's not too muddy or orange looking on my skin. It's a perfect everyday contour shade to give my face a more define look.

Clinique Stay Matte Oil Free Makeup (Alabaster):

I found out about this foundation over a year ago and I love using this during the hotter times of the year. I live in Florida, and our summer is hot, humid, sweaty, makeup melt off your face kinda weather. This foundation is light weight, holds up to humidity, sweat, oil, and being in the heat all day. The consistency and smell of the products reminds me so much of MAC's Studio Sculpt Foundation...

Hard Candy Eyes the Limit Eyeshadow Primer:

I really love this primer. Hard Candy hasn't released a primer in so long (that I know of...) and I was excited to see that they released a few different primers, three for different purposes. This is the universal primer and it holds eyeshadow all day, and when I mean it holds, it holds. It's so hard to remove my eye makeup off at night when I have this on my eyes. The only thing I don't like about it is that it has a scent...

Body Care

Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Hand Cream:

I discovered this at Target for around $9 and it's an awesome hand cream. I use this at night since it has the consistency of a body butter, but in the morning my hands feel soft and moisturized.

Nubian Heritage Lavender & Wildflowers Body Wash:

I have the body lotion that goes with this body wash and the body wash smells amazing! I love using it at night, especially when I have achy joints or muscles, which it helps to relax them a little. This body wash lathers up very well and doesn't irritate my skin. I can even shave with it if I wanted to.

I hope you all enjoyed my favorites for the month of March. I didn't have too much since I was trying to use up products before going out and buying more, but none the less, I love doing favorites posts and videos. Have a wonderful day!
