Lip Stick Haul - Cover Girl, MAC, and Revlon

 

 So I've developed a bit of an addiction to lip products lately. 

I've bought 4 new colors in the last 2 weeks, which for me is not a normal thing.

So I thought I would share with you what I've picked up recently.

 

 First up is Delight from Cover Girl.

This is a beautiful pink shade. Very different from other pinks I own.

This one is a bit darker.

 This is a very exciting product for me.

This is Creme Cup from MAC.

I made my first MAC purchase a couple weeks ago,

and I couldn't be happier with the products I picked up.

I love this color so much, and have had my eye on it for awhile.

This is a typical pink shade that I would chose, but I just couldn't resist.

 I also picked up Myth. Another color I have wanted for awhile now.

This is a nude color.. nothing special really, but I love it.

One thing I really love about the MAC lip sticks is the smell and the taste.

That vanilla scent is so yummy! I love it.

 Last is a Revlon lip butter in Red Velvet.

This color is completely out of my comfort zone, but it's such a pretty color.

The nice thing about this color is you can wear it sheer which, of course, is how I've been wearing it.

It's going to take some time getting use to wearing a color this dark, but I think 

I can make it work. I'm very excited to wear this color for the holidays.

So that's it!

I hope you enjoyed seeing what lip sticks I've picked up recently.

Top 10 Holy Grail Products

Happy hump day! It's the middle of the week which means we're getting closer to another weekend. Yay!

Today I wanted to share with you my Top 10 holy grail makeup products.

So let's not waste time..on to the products!

 First up Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation.

Now I haven't had this for very long, but I've had it long enough to know I can't live without it.

This foundation give a nice, clean, beautiful finish.

I just can't say enough good things about it.

Maybelline Dream Matte Power.

This powder just gives the perfect finishing touch to your look.

Very light and just gorgeous.

 NYX 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette.

I've clearly hit pan on 2 of the colors, and while those are my favorites 

this entire palette is just great for everyday simple looks.

 EOS Lip Balm. This is the Strawberry Sorbet.

I love using any of the EOS lip balms before applying any lip color.

They keep my lips soft and  smooth.

 Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer.

This stuff is amazing. Great coverage and blends super easy.

 L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara.
This mascara gives my lashes great volume and I just love it.

ELF Blush Candid Coral.

Obviously I love this blush. This is such a pretty peachy coral color.

I love how it lights up the face and give a nice sheen or color.

Maybelline Color Tattoo Bold Gold.

This is the only Color Tattoo I have and I love it.

I look forward to buying more. The wear of this is great.

Holds up very well through just about anything. For hot summer days this is perfect.

I've even worn it through a shower and it stuck with me.

ELF Eyelid Primer. This is a great primer for $1.

I honestly don't see the need to try more expensive primers.

Even though there are a couple I'd love to try someday.

For now this gets the job done. It holds my shadows nicely.

Lastly..NYX Sweetheart lip gloss.

Now you didn't think I could do a holy grail post without mentioning this did you?

This is by far my favorite lip gloss. I love the color, the way it feels on the lips, and the scent of these are awesome! I've heard a few girls complain about the scent, but I love it.

And those my holy grail products.

What are some products you can't live without?

Hope you enjoyed

&

Thanks for reading!

 First the bag. I got this bag from Target about a month and a half ago. I instantly fell in love with it and had to have it. It's a pretty mint green color. I have been LOVING mint this Summer. I purchased it for $25, but last time I checked my store they had them marked down 50% off!!

July Favorites

It is once again that time of the month... no not THAT! It is time for monthly favorites! I just love talking about my favorite products for the month and this month I have some amazing things to share with you. So let's cut the chit chat and get right to it.

 First up is the Dove Cream Oil Intensive Moisture Body Lotion.

I've had this for awhile and for the longest time it was way in the back of a shelf.

This is a favorite because of Adam.

One night he was looking for a lotion and this was the only "non girly" one I had.

While he was putting it on I noticed the scent was pretty good.

So I used it the next day after my shower, and I swear to you

the scent was with me from that morning until I was ready to go to bed.

Not only is the scent pretty good, but this made my skin so incredibly soft.

I absolutely love this stuff and cannot stop using it.

 Next is NYX lipgloss in Beige.

The name of this is funny to a lot of people because it isn't beige at all.

This is a beautiful pink lipgloss. I love this color so much and have been 

grabbing for it a lot this month. 

 L'Oreal Infallible Lipgloss in Sunset.

I actually found this at Target on clearence for less than $5. Score!

I am so in love with gloss. I love the color and the staying power is awesome.

I wouldn't say it stays with me for 8 hours like it claims, but it does a last a decent amount of time.

 Dove Body Mist in Cucumber & Green Tea.

The only words I can think of to describe this stuff is..

OH MY GOD!

This stuff smells amazing! I got a tiny little bottle when I purchased the deodorant in this scent.

I could not stop sniffing the bottle of this stuff the night I got it..haha.

I love this scent so much. It's a very nice, light, clean scent.

Perfect for summer.

 ELF Golden Bronzer. I've had this for awhile and have finally been getting some use out of it this month.

After seeing a video on YouTube on how someone else used it I thought "Hey I'm gonna give that a shot."

So I did and now I love it. I don't use this as a bronzer..it's WAY too shimmery for that.

I do, however, use it on my cheeks in place of blush sometimes. Or I use the lightest color (bottom left) 

as a highlight. This shade it great for highlighting, and any of these shades would be.. depending on your sking color. I'm very happy that I finally am getting some use of out this.

 ELF Contouring Blush & Bronzer.

I've looked at this product many times, and finally decided to buy it.

A lot of people compare this to the NARS Orgasm and Laguna duo.

While I can't say how the bronzers compare I can say this blush is NOTHING like Orgasm.

This is a lighter more pink shade where Orgasm is a deeper peachier shade.

I do love this duo though. I mainly use the blush but I am slowly working myself into using bronzers.

 Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation.

Holy $h!t is this stuff amazing!

This is BY FAR my standout favorite of the month.

I haven't been using it long...only about a week, but that's long enough for me.

The texture is very hard to describe. 

I've seen someone describe it as feeling like pudding, and I think that's a very good description.

I love how it feels going on my skin, and how it feels to touch my face after applied.

It stays with me all day (not sure about the 24 hour claim... no one should test that out).

It's been VERY hot where I live lately and this has held up very well during those days.

This in my opinion is a must try product!

 Wet 'N' Wild Megalast nail Polish in Sugar Coat.

I've been wearing this a lot this month.

This is a beautiful light pink.

This polish is simply amazing. It lasted a little over a week before I took it off.

For $1.99 you just can't beat that. For me this polish lasts longer than my more expensive polishes.

I can't wait to try more colors from this line.

So that's it. I hope you enjoyed this post, and I hope you had a great month!

Beauty Survey!

Earlier today I was browsing around at some beauty blogs. I came across one that had a survey, and I am a sucker for surveys! So I thought it would be something fun to do.


1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
Wavy..and I hate it. Sometimes I don't mind wearing it natural, but most of the time I will use a flat iron.


2. What is your natural hair color?
Blonde.


3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
I've never dyed my hair but I have had highlights. But I haven't done that in years.


4. How often do you wash your hair?
Every other day.


5. Do you wear the same style every day or change it?
Pretty much the same everyday.

6. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
I always do my nails myself. I've gone to a salon a couple times though.


7. How often to you change your nail polish?
Whenever it starts to chip. I've never understand the girls who change their polish everyday.


8. Do you polish your toes in the winter, too or just in the summer?
Usually only summer.


9. How long does it take to put on your makeup? 
About 15-20 min. 


10. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
Face.


11. Do you "collect" makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?
I guess you could say I collect it.


12. How often do you wear false eyelashes?
Never. I've thought about buying some to try but I'm scared to put glue on my eye. kinda freaks me out. Haha.


13. Do you do a full face of makeup every day?
Yes. Unless I'm sick or just staying home cleaning or something then yeah I wear it everyday.


14. Do you wear makeup when you are home alone (or with family)?
If I am planning on leaving the house at some point then yes.


15. Will you leave the house without makeup?
I will. I don't like too but I will.


16. How many high end products do you have? 
5. I don't need or even want a lot of high end makeup. Most of it just seems like such a waste to me. Why pay $20 for one thing when you can go to the drugstore and buy a few things for $20?


17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes?
Ummm not as often as I should. I honestly can't tell you the last time I washed them. Which says it's probably time to do it again. I always say I'm going to get better about doing it more often, but I never do.  It's honestly the worst part about wearing makeup.


18. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed?

Decide while getting dressed. 

 

19. How often do you change your handbag?
Not very often.


20. What time do you get up & go to sleep?
I usually stay up pretty late. During the week I go to bed around 12-1am on the weekend I sometimes don't go until 2 or 3am. So obviously I sleep late... sometimes I get up around 9-10am but lately it's been more like 11am-12pm. It's so bad. Haha.


21. How often & when do you workout?
Never.


22. Left-handed or Right-handed?
Left.


23. How tall are you?
5' 5"


24. Do you speak a foreign language?
No.


25. How many pets do you have?
I have 3 cats.


26. How often are you on Blogger?
I'm on everyday but usually only to read blogs that I follow. I'm bad about posting.


27. Do you read the comments posted blogs?

Yes.

28. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?

Sometimes. I kind of stopped doing that because my list was getting out of control.

My name is Heather and I have a love for makeup. So I put it all together. I wanted something fun and creative but just couldn't think of anything.

Sony Cybershot. It's also what I use for videos.

Pink but lately I'm liking blue more. Not like normal blue but a lighter blue.


33. What is your favorite beauty/fashion magazine?
Glamour


34. Do you swear?
Yes. Everyone does at some point. I use to only do it when I got really upset, but since being with  my boyfriend, who says the F word about 500 times a day,... I do it more.

35. What are you doing with the rest of your day?

Well it's about 9:30pm so I'm just relaxing.

May Favorites

I've decided to do something a little bit different this month and post my favorites on my blog. I didn't realize how much more work would be involved in doing it this way. My back is sore now from leaning over taking pictures, and I'm thinking I will never do it this way again. Haha. Anyway let's get to the stuff!

Sweet Pea Body Lotion - Sweet Pea was a favorite of mine when I was younger.

I somehow forgot about this scent for awhile, but lately I am loving it. 

I bought this travel size lotion a couple weeks ago and have

fallen completely in love all over again.

 

Moonlight Path Body Lotion - I've had this lotion for a couple years now. I received it as a gift

and never really used it until this month. I don't know why I never

gave this scent a chance, because it's amazing!

I've been using this mostly at night before I go to bed, 

because the scent is so light and calming. 

 

EOS Lip Balm Lemon Drop & Sweet Mint - These 2 lip balms have been 

on my lips constantly this month. Lemon Drop had stayed on the table next to our couch

and Sweet Mint has been next to my bed for night time. 

I know I've mentioned both of these before,

but they are so amazing and I've been loving them so much

that they deserved another mention.

  

Shea Cashmere Body Cream -This is something i usually only use during the colder months,

but I have been reaching for it a lot this month. It has such an amazingly yummy scent.

It reminds me of cupcake batter. So delicious. 

I love how it makes me skin..so moisturized and smooth.

 

 

Cilantro Peach Anti-Bac- I recently purchased this on my last trip to Bath & Body Works.

I'm not sure what it is but I have been drawn to peach scents a lot lately.

This stuff smells so good I want to eat it!!

The perfect summer anit-bac.

 

Naughty & Nice Heavenly Love -This stuff is amazing and believe it or not it came from Wal-Mart.

I recently posted a blog about how this reminded me of a Victoria's Secret scent that

has been a long time favorite of mine.

You can check that post out here.

 Maybelline Super Stay 24HR Makeup -  This was a favorite for a long time

and then started to get ignored. But I busted this foundation back out this month

and I don't know why I ever stopped using it. 

The coverage I get from this is amazing. 

I doesn't feel too heavy nor too light.

It's PERFECT!

 Cover Girl Translucent Loose Powder - This is something I haven't used in a couple years.

Are you noticing a theme here? Haha. I obviously decided to shop my collection this month,

and rediscovered a lot of old favorites. 

I stopped using this powder because of how messy it can be,

but that was before I knew about tapping your brush off.

Sad I never knew about that...I know.

I love this powder so much!

With the foundation I talked about above this powder is amazing.

Definitely won't ignore this product ever again.

Liplicious Strawberry Mango Lip Gloss - One word to describe this lip gloss...

YUM! This stuff tastes amazing. 

You don't really get any color with this product, but it is a fun lip gloss to

throw in your purse for summer.

It has some shimmer in it as well. 

Too Faced Leading Lady Eyeshadow - This is an eyeshadow color that came in the pixie Pin-ups palette.

This is the perfect highlight shade or I enjoy using it all over the lid for a nice simple look.

 

Here's a swatch. Not the best but I tried. Haha.

So that's it! Those are my favorites for the month of May.

I hope you enjoyed, and I hope you all had a great month

and have an even better June.
