October 2012 Favorites

School has been kicking my butt! I have to admit I aimed a little too high taking an anatomy & physiology class with lab plus a microbiology class with lab while working full-time. The blog has def not been as great as I would like it but now that school is winding down I will be back and running good again in a month! Yay. With that said, I realized I haven’t been doing the monthly favorites post so without further ado here is my October Favorites…

Shot of all the products I love this month representing hair, nails, body, skin, eyes and lips.

Lea Jou hydrating mask- This amazing product is applied in dry hair then washed off in the shower. Your hair feels so soft and gets really shiny! My hair looks so much healthier now!

Glisten & Glow’s Cuticle Oil in Chamomile. This cute little oil stick is always in my purse for when my cuticle’s need a little TLC. Love that you can customize labels for each product and that Jill carries over 100 different fragrances!

Butter London’sWest end wonderland- This polish is truly magical it is a gold amazing sparkly polish. You seriously look like a diva in it! Gorgeous!

Benefit Bad girl mascara- offers amazing length and volume and doesn’t give many clumps.

Unite 7 Second Conditioner- I have so much hair and it tangles easy. There have been times where I sat down and brushed all my tangles out for 15 minutes. This leave in conditioner works miracles I tell you! I spray it before I leave for work and let it sit in my hair until I arrive and brush my hair out easily!

Mirenesse Lip bomb in red- If you are looking for color to stay on your lips you should def try this! This lip product has amazing color and stays on for a very long time! The longest lasting lip product I’ve tried so far.

Lush- Lovely Jubbiles breast cream- this lotion makes the tatas smell nice and moisturizes your skin. You can also use it for your body as well.

Joey New York Bye Bye Blackheads- I use this scrub every morning to help lessen the blackheads I have on my nose. Yuk!

Dermaheal Shampoo- Great for helping kick start hair growth. I have def noticed my hair getting a little bit longer! Hopefully I can grow back my long hair ASAP!

My June Favorites

A few months ago the lovely Jess at Love for Lacquer started writing a monthly post on her favorite products. Its so much fun to see all the diff products each month of other people so I decided to start making monthly favorite's post. Posted below each description of my beauty products is the link to the original review in case you want to further check out the product. So without further a do lets get this party started!

Drum roll please.....

I'd like to introduce...

I will try to keep my favorite beauty products to only those that can fit in this little beauty bag.

Favorite Facial Cleansing Wipes

I use to spend a fortune on MAC makeup remover wipes but that was until I moved to Texas and was unemployed for 2 months. Unable to afford those I went out to find cheaper wipes that still did the job. I first tried the target kind which stunk in my opinion it made my eyes and face red. I then tried Clean & Clear's Facial Cleansing Wipes. They are delicate on my skin, take out even the most dark makeup and are very affordable. Love them won't use any other wipes now.

Although my blog gives you the idea that I am a makeup blogger I do love me some nail polish and I know you guys do too so thats why I heavily focus on nail polishes as well. I like to keep my people happy. I picked my favorite indie and brand polish. As you probably already know I am in love with Pop Tart by Lacquer convention. I love the creamy white color it has with bright color glitters un like any other indie polish I have ever seen. It seriously looks like a pop tart! My favorite brand polish is Zoya's Shelby, a baby/cotton candy pink. It is so pretty even on my tan skin and I just love the consistency of Zoya 's Polishes!

My two favorite makeup brushes are the Kabush brush perfect for blush and mineral foundation and my primer brush that from Coastal Scents that I use to put on primer before my foundation.

Sure I love expensive makeup but some drug store beauty products work just as well. Right now my favorite mascara is Neutrpgena's Healthy Lengths Mascara which greatly makes my lashes long while giving me great volume! My favorite eyeliner is Stila's Stingray. I love that it smudgeproof bc Texas summer = sweating and with this liner I know longer have to worry about smearing my liner when I sweat. No more racoon eyes yay!

Summer= tans and what better way to bring out that summer glow then with a bronzing powder! I love my NYC powder in Hamptons Radiance. It has bronzing, shimmer and a highlighter in one which really pops out my cheek bones! My favorite blush is one I just got on my Green Grab Bag from Overall Beauty in heartbreaker. It's a mineral shadow or blush and I love that it is all natural!

Time for lip products! I love the smell and plumping action of my Sally Hansen's Vita C lip gloss. Mositurizes my lips while giving me nice volumtious lips. I just tried this Lip Scrub from the monthly subscription called Karisma Balm. This scrub helps remove dead skin in the lips and makes your lips feel soooooo soft afterwards. I def will be using this a lot in the winter to cure my chapped lips!

I usually don't like light beige shadows as they don't look good on my brown skin but I just love Seashell from glo minerals. The consistency of the shadow is amazing it comes on uniform, and stays on long. It seriously is an amazing shadow I just don't know how else to describe it. My current favorite foundation is mineral of course! mia mariu's Savanna mineral foundation gives me the flawless look I love. It doesn't look cakey like liquid foundation does and just looks so natural. Also, to cover up my bags I am getting since I haven't been getting good sleep is the concealer in Trigo. It works miracles I tell you!

Avon just came out with a bug guard product line and since I have been getting bites like crazy (apparently I smell good to the bugs) I have been itchy like CRAZY! I got this Anti-Itch spray and all you do is literally spray the area and it gives it MAJOR relief! I swear I forgot my bites were there!
