August Favorites

So...I know this is a little late. It's probably not the most timely thing to post my August Favorites in the middle of September, but I figured better late than never, right?! K...

This Months Favorites:

-MAC Viva Glam Cyndi lipstick
-Loreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara
-Loreal Extra Intense Lipquid Pencil liner
-Smashbox Metallic Cream Liner Palette
-Maybelline Age Rewind Face Perfector, fairest shade
-ELF Beauty Book - Neutral Eye Edition

-Mario Madescu Strawberry Face Scrub
-OLAY Quench body lotion
-Blue Blood book series
-Yogurt Pretzels and Newmans Own Ginger-O's....hehe

If I had to pick my favorite, most recommended beauty product of the month, it would have to be MAC Viva Glam Cyndi lipstick. This by no means is a new product, but it remains a great one none the less. It gets my vote for a variety of reasons...

1). It truely is a universal lipstick. As mentioned in my video, I have used it on clients of all skintones, and it look amazing on each and every one of them.
2). Because it is a lustre lipstick, Viva Glam Cyndi is super moisturizing, never over drying.
3.) Lastly, and probably most importantly, as do all Viva Glam products, all proceeds go towards the MAC Aids fund...buying beauty products and putting money towards a great cause sounds to me like having your cake and eating it too!

Hope you guys enjoy these as much as I have, love you lots and stay Breezyy peeps!

ELF Beauty Book - Neutral Edition

Alright guys, so if you found my blog through my youtube page, you probably already know that I did an eye look featuring the ELF Beauty Book in the Neutral Eye Edition. I've mentioned this palette in my July Favorites video, and a month later I still stand behind this kit. Here are a few photos of swatches of the  colors, and an overall look at the product. All colors are shimmer, but the very last color (a deep dark brown) has the least amount of sheen. It is close to being matte, but does have a few specks of shimmer.

The kit has an instruction page on the inside cover.

Each kit comes with an applicator sponge and eyeliner.

Overall, I really do love this product. Its extremely affordable, easy to use, and has great pigmentation. One negative is that these shadows can produce a bit of fall out. Nothing too serious though. I've actually started to hit pan on the very first color in the book. It is an awesome highlight color and I use it daily. Although I've used elf eyeliner pencils in the past, I do not use the one that comes in this kit. They are a bit hard, so I prefer to use my Urban Decay or Revlon Colorstay liner. I've bought all 3 books, so if you're interested in seeing the others, be sure to let me know. These books can be found at Target for only 5 dollars each!! Go pick yours up while you can!!

The Start of Something Great?

I sure hope so! So obviously, this is my first blog post. I'm super excited about starting this chapter of my life and finding yet another outlet to share with everyone my loves, passions, and daily living. It'll  definitely take some time getting into the groove of things and figuring out all of the in's and out's of doing this but I hope that you all enjoy reading and benefit from my experiences.

For any of you who stumbled on this page but are unaware of me, here is a list of my pages so you can figure out a little bit about me and decide if you want to be friends! haha
