A blog on all things "Beauty". I am hopelessly addicted to makeup products, skincare products, hair products, and the list could go on and on.

A quick list of some of my favorite things from March and where you can find them!
1. real Techniques by Samantha Chapman Expert Face brush and Powder brush
The Expert Face brush is the best brush I've ever found for foundation application. It's synthetic bristles are soft and very gentle on the face gives the most flawlessly blended foundation. Since I bought it I have been using it every single day.
The Powder brush is also very nice. It is a huge soft and fluffy brush that gives a natural powder application. It also works great for applying mineral foundations. Both brushes are a bargain! The Expert Face brush is $9.00 and the Powder brush is $10.00. They can be purchased at Ulta in-stores or online.
All three of these eyeshadows are beautiful neutrals and should be in everyone's makeup collection. Woodwinked is a beautiful shimmery warm gold-brown and can be worn in several different ways. Sable is a soft warm shimmery brown that looks great in the crease or lid area. Naked Lunch is a perfect light beige-pink that looks great all over the lid or as a brow bone highlight. If you don't have these shadows you are missing out!
This cute little palette gives you many different looks in one easy to carry place. You can go for an everyday neutral look or jazz it up with a bright pop of teal, green or blue. It also has two blushes, a bronzer and a highlighter! I this little guy when I don't want to carry a bunch of makeup with me or if I'm in a hurry everything I need is all right in front of me. You can pick up this bad boy at bhcosmetics.com for only $10.00! They also have two other palettes in this collection in different color combos.
4. e.l.f. Matte Lip Color in Tea Rose
My favorite nude-pink lip of the moment. It looks great by itself or with a pink gloss on top. It has great staying power and lasts several hours. It also smells and tastes really good. :) You can find it at Target or eyeslipsface.com for $3.00.
This is a wonderful smelling moisturizing cream for the hands and cuticles. I put it on at night before I go to bed and anytime my hands are feeling particularly dry. It is a little pricey, but a little bit goes a long way and you get quite a bit in the little tub so I feel like it will last long enough to be worth the price. You can find it at Lush stores or Lushusa.com for $16.95.
My hair is very unruly and needs serious help with detangling and conditioning. This is a very thick spray leave in conditioner that really helps smooth frizz and detangles my crazy curly hair so that it doesn't take half and hour to comb it out after a shower. My hair will never be the same (in a good way).
I picked up these awesome sunglasses at my Forever21 store for $5.80 and I love them! I have gotten so many compliments on them. They are perfect for spring and summer!
Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Leave me comments below telling me what your favorites were last month! Have a great day!
Okay guys, I have not been this excited about a MAC collection since Style Black! It is MAC's To The Beach Collection and it is going to be awesome! The colors are beautiful and the packaging is so beachy and cute. Below is a list of products and color descriptions. The release date for this collection is May 27th, 2010 in the U.S.A.. I will be posting a review on some of these products as soon as I get them. Enjoy and try not to drool too much! :)
I was so excited today when I received a little black MAC box in the mail containing my 2 new Superglass lipglasses! I ordered the Superglass in Superflash! and Gift Wrap. I immediately pulled them out, swatched them and took pictures for you guys.
Gift Wrap
Superflash!
Superflash! and Gift Wrap are very pretty colors, however they are quite sheer. I think they would probably be best layered over a lipstick unless you're going for just a very natural glossy finish. That said, I don't think they are a must-have because they have an enormous amount of glitter in them and even after the gloss has worn off quite a lot of glitter stays behind and is pretty hard to remove. For that reason, I don't think that Superglass will be something that I will be reaching for everyday. I do think they will be great for going out at night or on a summer day by the pool or at the beach when I want to look extra sparkle-y.
Colors in the Superglass collection:
Tunnel of Love Deep blue brown (Pearl) (Limited Edition)
Sugar Overload White beige (Pearl) (Limited Edition)
Disco Blend Light tan (Pearl) (Limited Edition)
Sweet Tart Baby pale pink (Pearl) (Limited Edition)
Gift Wrap Light pinky peach (Pearl) (Limited Edition)
Totally Bang! Fuchsia (Pearl) (Limited Edition)
Cherry Electric Bright cherry pink (Pearl) (Limited Edition)
Fab Frenzy Deep blue purple (Pearl) (Limited Edition)
Superflash! Mid Tone Yellow Pink (Pearl) (Limited Edition)
I hope this review is helpful for you guys! I will be posting the Easy Everyday Summer Look Tutorial soon so watch out for it!
