March Favorites !

Hi Beauts !

I honestly can't believe March is over, where did it go ?! For a month that has 31 days, it feels more like 5. Normally from month to month my favorites don't really change. I'll fall in love with something here and there but not really enough to do a blog post about it. This month, I don't have a ton of favorites but I definitely want to share them with you !

Dove Nutritive Solutions Daily Moisture Shampoo

I have been dying to find a shampoo that cleans my hair right but doesn't dry it out and I think I finally found it ! This Dove shampoo is amazing and a definite must have. It cleans my hair but doesn't strip it of it's natural oils and moisture and I like how it makes my hair feels.

Burberry Perfume

I have had this perfume for more than a year but never really reached for it. One day I just grabbed it and fell in love with the smell. It's a very mild smell, you can smell that it's there but it's not a heavy smell. Once it settles on my skin and with my body chemistry it smells fruity and vanilla-y. It's not an overly sweet smell, it is sightly sweet but then you get this hint of warmness and it just smells amazing.

Just Fab Regional

Oh this bag ! I bought this bag from Just Fab and I didn't think I was going to love this bag as much as I do. It's the perfect shoulder bag, it's not too big and not too small, it can really hold a lot. What I really like the most is you can definitely wear this purse casually but also wear it with a more dressier, sophisticated look. Oh and it's pocket galore ! This bag literally has like 8 pockets, which is great when you want to fill it up.

Urban Decay Naked Lip Gloss in Lovechild

Can I be forward and say I love this ! This is my new absolute favorite, it's just like the most perfect lip product ever. The color is called Lovechild and it's this perfect better than your natural lips kind of color. The formula isn't goopy or sticky like other lip glosses, it's very moisturizing and flattering and feel like a second skin. If you want to see a swatch, I mentioned this in my Spring Lip Must Haves, so check it out !

Real Techniques Accent Brush and Eye shadow ( I bought this at a drugstore a while ago and don't remember the name and it doesn't have a label !)

I really like the way my eyes look with eyeliner. Some days I don't want such a defined look but more natural. I use this dark brown eye shadow with my Real Techniques Accent Brush and just dab it long my lash line. I gives my eyes a really nice shape and makes my lashes look a lot thicker.

I hope you Beauts liked my March Favorites ! Hopefully I can continue to do more of these, might have to force myself to try new things, ha ! What was your favorites during March ? Take care !

My Spring Lip Must Haves !

Hi Beauts !

Spring is finally here ! I know for some of you Beauts, what you see outside of your window says otherwise, however I'm so excited for the season and to be able to use all of these on my lips. Nothing says Spring better than a beautiful bright lip. Some of these are some newer purchases and some are constant repeats. I love every single one of these products and that's probably why I keep using them again and again and find them perfect for this time of year.

CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipstick - Spellbound
MAC Satin Lipstick - Snob
NYX Butter Lipstick - Taffy
Maybelline Color Elixir Lip Color - Breathtaking Apricot
NYX Butter Lipstick - Hubba Bubba
Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter - Sweet Tart
Urban Decay Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss - Lovechild
Wet n Wild MegaLast Lip Color - Don't Blink Pink
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm - Sweetheart

 Left to Right : Sweetheart, Don't Blink Pink, Spellbound, Snob, Taffy, Sweet Tart, Hubba Bubba, Breathtaking Apricot, Lovelace.

Lately, my most recent go to lip is either Lovechild or Breathtaking Apricot, Lovechild is more of a natural nudey pink and Breathtaking Apricot is a gorgeous coral. They are both amazingly moisturizing and easy to apply. I find all of these different shades of pink would look great on just about anyone. Now, I know pink isn't the only lip color that you can wear during spring, you can wear any color, really it doesn't matter. There is just something about pink this time of year that just screams "Spring" to me. It makes me excited for the change in seasons and for all the beautiful bright colors.

I hope you Beauts found this helpful and feel inspired to wear a pretty bold and bright lip this season ! What are your Spring lip must haves ? I would love to know !

Take Care Beauts !

My 2013 Beauty Favorites !

Hi Beauts !
I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's and an amazing year to come. So the new year if finally here ! This past year was great and I can't wait for 2014 and what's to come, 2013 had some great beauty finds that I will love always. I know that these will definitely be favorites in the year to come and I can't.wait find new ones along the way.
Foundation

This has been my go to foundation ever since I purchased it. It has amazing coverage and leaves your skin looking pretty much flawless and it has a built in primer, so it's good when you're in a hurry.
Palette

This palette will forever be one of my favorite palettes. It's so versatile, day or night look, natural or smokey eye, it does it all. I love the colors as well, very natural and silky.
Cream Eyeshadow


This paint pot is an absolute must for me. On lazy days, I put some of this on my eyelids and mascara and Im good to go. I really like the color of this because its a pinky skin color, so it helps cancel out any redness I may have on my eyelids from allergies or lack or sleep. It basically brightens my eyes and lasts all day.
Lip Products
Almay Liquid Lip Balm - Pink Pout
Sephora Rouge Shine - N 20
Covergirl - Spellbound
Mac - Snob
This year I went a little pink crazy. Rather than doing the classic red lip, i went for hot pink when I wanted a bold look. And when I wanted a more subtle hot pink, I went for the lip gloss or sheer lipstick. When I wasn't feeling either I went for the nude pink, you can never go wrong with nude pink lips.
Mascara
These mascaras are honestly heaven sent. They kinda work the same and have the same formula more or less, but they have different wands. These mascaras lengthen and separate which I love, but I love how long lasting they are. They don't flake, they don't irritate my eyes, they hold a curl pretty well and make your eyelashes look amazing yet natural.
Eyebrows

This past year, I have been eyebrow crazy. I never use to worry about them, just a little brow gel and I was good to go. But now, I really like the look and effect it gives. On lazy days, when I don't want too much make up but look put together, I do my eyebrows and mascara and feel put together.
Eyeliner


This is my favorite gel eyeliner. It's really dark and applies just as dark, not gray or a soft black. If you've used gel eyeliners that aren't the best quality, you know what I mean. The lasting proof of this eyeliner is awesome and it doesn't smudge during the day.
Nail Polish
Essie Clambake
Quimica Alemana Nail Hardner
Essie Shearling Darling
So for this year, I norrowed it down to these two Essie polishes and this nail hardner. This are the colors I turn to most, I do try to expand and I do use all my polishes. However, I love color and they go with any outfit and ocassion. As for the nail hardner, it's amazing. I used to bite my nails, so growing them out was a pain because they were so weak, but this helped and I still use it.
Face
I could put here my face wash, my toner, my moisturizer or face mask, but then I would be lying. My Clarisonic has changed my skin dramatically. Its smoother, brighter and I definitely feel a difference in my skin than when I used to use just my hands. I have noticed a difference in the amount of oil my pores are producing, which is a amaxing because I felt like a pizza some times. Brushes

Elf Angled Eyeliner Brush
Sephora Airbrush Foundation Brush

These brushes have made my life so so much easier. This foundation brush does what it says, it leaves your face looking like it was literally airbrushed. It bends everything nicely, doesnt leave any streaks behind and really helps set the foundation in place. I love gel eyeliner, it's my favorite form of eyeliner. I used to use the Smashbox Eyeliner Brush or the Real Techniques brush, and I didn't really like the end result for either one. This brush is really fine and sturdy, so it helps to make a thin line and the angle makes it easier to go in a straight line.
Candle

I love the smell of this candle, it smells like what I imagine winter to smell like, cool, crisp, and pepperminty. This candle is my favorite for 2013 because it smells amazing but I really do think you could turn it on during the year, and no one would know it's a Winter candle. It just leaves my room smelling amazing and clean.
Hair Care

Coconut Oil can be use for almost anything, moisturizer, make up remover, to make a scrub whatever really. I like to put coconut oil once a week, in my hair and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour and wash it off . It makes your hair so soft, it doesn't get rid of split end but it moisturizes your ends that it does a good job of hiding them. It's all natural so you aren't stink more chemicals on your head and you smell like coconuts at the end of it all.
Thank you so much for reading my blog and giving me a chance. I appreciate it so much, I'm so excited for this new year and I plan to work even harder on my blog for you guys !
Be you, Beyoutiful !
