April 2017 Favorites


The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 - I got my very first Ordinary order in the month of April and so far I have loved every single product I've ordered from them. I've been using the Hyaluronic Acid in the morning before I put on my moisturizer and my dry skin definitely has been feeling more hydrated. 

Tarte Frxxxtion Stick - This I've also been using in the mornings before I was my face. This is a facial cleanings stick that also exfoliates your face. I love the packaging, you rub the stick on your face instead of using your hands which I love. 

Benefit Hello Flawless - I decided to try a new powder this month and I picked this one up by Benefit. It took my three different tries to get my color just right but once I did I fell in love with this powder. It's not too heavy on the skin and has a very natural finish. 

Dior Forever Foundation - I decided to pick this up after hearing Jaclyn Hill rave about this foundation in several videos. I have very similar skin to hers - dry - most of her skincare and foundations recommendations work perfectly for me. I finally used up the last of my Becca foundation and instead of repurchasing it I pick this up instead. It is very natural and has great coverage. A big plus for me is this foundation do not move on my face! I don't typically set my foundations with a lot of powder as I am on the dry side so I need a foundation that doesn't need to be set in order to stay in place. Highly recommend giving this a try for dry skin. 

The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG - The Ordinary defiantly has some interesting names for their products but don't let that scare you away from trying any. This is the eye product I've been using day and night. It is defiantly the most affordable eye product I have every used but it has a different formula. This is an oil that comes in a dropper. I use one drop for each eye and honestly my under eye area has never looked better. This has decreased my fine lines and brightened up my under eye. Most eye creams I've purchased in the past have ran be about $65, this one cost me $6.70!

The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil - This is a very similar to the Josie Maran Argan Oil. I've tried this out on both my skin and my hair and I love it. It gives me the same restuls as the Josie Maran oil but the price tag is a HUGE difference. 50ml of the Josie Maran will cost $60 compared to 30ml of The Ordinary is $6.80.

The Ordinary defiantly dominated most of my new loves this month....I should also mention that all you have to do is spend over $25 with The Ordinary and your shipping is free! I definitely plan on ordering way more products from this company and doing their own dedicated blog post.

Blogtober Day 6 | Jaclyn Hill Fall Favorites Tag

This is a fall tag was created by Jaclyn Hill on YouTube. I've seen a few of these tags done so far and even though no one tagged me I really wanted to incorporate this into one of my Blogtober posts.

Here we go!

Favorite Candle
I did a post last week all about my new fall candles. If I had to just pick one out of that bunch I would say the Leaves candle from Bath & Body Works in my favorite.

Favorite Lip Color
My favorite lip color is nudes - all year round! I don't care on the season. Right now I'm loving Honey Love by Mac

Favorite Drink
Finally I've transitioned to hot drinks and I love to cozy up with some mint tea

Favorite Blush
Definitely has to be Makeup Geek Bliss!

Favorite Clothing Item
Riding boots, leggings and a long cozy sweater! If I want to get really cozy I will throw on a scarf to go with that.

Favorite Fall Movie
I've honestly been sooo busy I probably haven't been out to see a movie since spring time!

Favorite Fall TV Show
I love that all my TV shows are finally coming back on! Right now I'm loving 3: Grey's Anatomy, The Good Wife and Heartland.

Favorite Thanksgiving Food
TURKEY!!!

Favorite Halloween Costume
I'm not really big on celebrating halloween and I rarely dress up. When I do the costume has to be easy to move in and comfortable. I think my favorite costume was last year I went as a bank robber - jeans, stripped shirt, black mask and red lips!

If your reading this blog post then I TAG YOU! Either write and blog post or make a YouTube video and make sure to leave the URL in the comments below so I can read your tag.

August 2015 Favorites


Here are my favorites for the month of August:

Sephora Eye Mask - There are 8 different eye masks each with their own unique benefits. My 2 favorite are the Pearl and Rose - I know, I know, the rose isn't actually in the picture above but that's because I just used my last one

Fresh Sugar Nourishing Lip Balm Advanced Therapy - Right now this is my favorite lip balm, it's something that is very moisturizing and I find I only have to apply it 2-3 times a day. With other lip balms I am typically applying them every hour and even though they are also moisturizing I don't want to be applying lip balm all day! 

Caudalie Moisturizing Toner - LOVE this toner, it is very moisturizing for my dry skin. My skin feels amazing after I apply this, my skin feels very fresh and hydrated 

Becca Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Champagne Pop - What can I say about this highlighter that already hasn't been said? Probably nothing but this really is a truly an amazing  highlighter for fair skin gals. I wear this everyday and I wore this on my wedding day, it showed up great in pictures

Z Palette - In the past I've only really gotten pre made palettes like the Urban Deacy Nacked Palette. Just recently I've started making my own palettes and it has been so much fun! I love customizing and perfecting a palette that suits me and my taste and my skin tone

What was your favorites this month?
