A few favorites...

A few favorites...





Hi, friends. Sorry for the recent hiatus. Things have been crazy at work lately, and to be quite honest, coming home to a computer is the LAST thing I've wanted to do. However, I have been meaning to share some of my latest favorites with you. 


  • le Volume de Chanel Mascara---whoah. This stuff is magical. Remember when I told you about some of my favorite mascaras? They are all still wonderful, and I will most likely continue to rotate through those, but this baby from Chanel seriously works wonders for my eyelashes. It's a bit more pricey than the others, but it's worth the splurge! 
  • Smashbox Photo Set Pressed Powder---Where has this been all my life? Powders are tricky, I tell ya. I've always had trouble finding something that will last all day. My search is now over. Smashbox is the jam!
  • Smashbox Photo Finish Primer---this stuff is so light. Hands down, the best primer out there! 
  • Dove Dry Shampoo---when it comes to dry shampoos, I have probably tried them all, from the cheapest on the shelf to Aveda. Most of them have left my hair still looking greasy and even more dirty! Yuck! I will say that nothing works better than baby powder! That's right. Baby powder. BTW, I just get the Walgreen's brand. When used for a couple of days in a row, though, it starts to cake and/or make your hair look grey. Enter, Dove Dry Shampoo. It's amazing. I spray it on at night before bed (yes, the night before) and in the morning, my hair looks and feels clean! Now, I don't have to use as much baby powder (maybe only when I'm trying to get one more day in before a wash). 
  • FRESH Sugar Rose Lip Treatment---I may or may not be one of those people who has, at least, 4 tubes of chapstick/lipstick in her purse, lab coat, tote bag, travel bag, on her nightstand, etc. This stuff is, hands down, my lips' favorite product. It adds a hint of color, but it's not overpowering, and it makes my lips feel so smooth. Just go out (or online) and buy some right this second. You'll thank me later!

extensions for your eyelashes.

I. Love. Makeup. Seriously in love with it. Let's be honest--when I don't wear it, I look like I haven't slept in days. No, it's true. I receive plenty of comments about how tired I look. Someone even asked me how I got 2 black eyes. No joke. Anyways, I don't pull off the "all natural" look very well at all. Enter, makeup.

Now, I could talk about all kinds of makeup for hours, but for now, I'll focus on mascara. I think it is my #1 necessity. If I had to choose the MOST important, mascara would take the cake. My eyelashes are very light, so just a touch of mascara can literally work wonders.

I have some new favorites...



  • Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes! A friend introduced me to this, and it's amazing. It truly thickens and lengthens. My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to last very long. (I only use it once daily.)

  • MAC False Lashes---my sister gave this to me for Christmas, and it is awesome! 
  • Laura Mercier---Full Blown Volume Lash Building Mascara. This stuff is great, too. 

So, there you have it. My three favorites. I am currently using MAC False Lashes.
