HG Tinted Moisturizer: Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Tinted Moisturizer

Hello Lovelies! Hope you all are having a great start to the month (hard to believe it is September already)! Today I want to talk to you all about a product that I have spent many a mall trip searching for: the ideal tinted moisturizer. Well, I can say with confidence that that search is finally over for me thanks to the tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Tinted Moisturizer. After using this beautiful product for the past few weeks, I cannot imagine my morning routine without it, and have been gushing about it to just about anyone who will listen!

Dr. Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Soothing Face Cream

 

Hello Lovelies! Today I want to talk to you about a miracle (at least for me) face product that I have been using for the past few weeks, Dr. Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Soothing Face Cream. I originally heard about this cream from watching Tanya Burr, one of my favorite makeup artist and beauty gurus on Youtube. 

This face cream has been a god-send for my overly reactive skin.  I can't even recall how many skin care products, foundations, primers and even bronzers that I have had to return this past year because my skin developed a bad reaction or broke out from them. Using this product as my night cream has helped my skin feel more comfortable, balanced, and hydrated than I can remember it feeling in a long time. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, or if you are just looking for a wonderful night cream, Dr. Weil Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Soothing Cream just might be the ideal addition to your skin care routine.

July Empties

 

Hello Lovelies! It has been too long! As I mentioned before, I decided to talk a little break from the blogging world to focus my full attention on my new job. My plan seems to have worked out though because I absolutely love it! However, I have missed writing and interacting with you all, so I am so happy to be back!

Last month, I decided to put myself on a cosmetics spending ban. The amount of money I had been spending on makeup and cosmetics recently had really gotten out of control and I honestly own more products than any one girl could ever go through. I'm still allowing myself to purchase things when I run out such as skincare or concealers and foundation etc. But, I have to say I have actually found quite a sense of accomplishment building my little collection of empties! Nice to know my money didn't go to waste for once! 

Maybelline Baby Lips SPF 20 Lip Moisturizing Balm

Hello Lovelies! Long time no talk! I'm so sorry, I have been so exhausted this past week adjusting to my new work schedule, that this was the first time in days I have found a moment to write anything. I have missed writing on my blog & interacting with all you lovely people so so much! Today, I wanted to write about a product I'm sure you all have heard plenty about already, the Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balms. These juicy little tubes of tinted balm have been out for awhile, but it wasn't until last weekend when I was in San Francisco that I found myself lacking a lip balm & popped into a Walgreens to pick one up. Ever since then, I have gone back for two more!

June Favorites

Hello Lovelies! It's time for monthly favorites again! I have to say I'm so excited it is July. July has always been my favorite month of the year, not just because my birthday is on the 18th, but also because my boyfriend and I celebrate our anniversary (when we first started dating) at the beginning of the month. This year we will be celebrating 5 years together! Hard to believe how quickly time has flown by, but I am so happy to be celebrating this milestone with him! I hope you all had a wonderful June and are looking forward to July as much as I am!

Now on to monthly favorites! In June, I rediscovered a few forgotten loves such as Benefit's the Porefessional  Primer and their Watt's Up! Highlighter. I also found a few new favorites, such as MAC's Cremesheen Glass in Right Image, the perfect everyday pink gloss. I hope you enjoy!

Caudalie, Lancome & Smashbox Cosmetics Haul

Hello Lovelies! Today I have a little haul to share with you! I went a bit skin care crazy last time I was in Sephora & picked up a few items from Caudalie. Caudalie is a French skin care brand that has recently become exceptionally popular in the beauty community. I have been especially interested in trying their products as I am particularly drawn to skin care lines that contain mainly natural or plant derived ingredients. I was incredibly lucky that at this time Sephora was offering a Caudalie sample set as their 500 point perk, so I have the opportunity to try out more of the line and see what suits my skin! I also found myself oohing and ahhing at the Smashbox Cosmetics stand & all of their beautiful new eye shadow trios and palettes. I ended up coming home with one of their gorgeous Photo Op Eyeshadow Trios and a coordinating Limitless Eyeliner Pencil. Lastly, I picked up some eye makeup remover, Lancome's famous Bi-Facil. Hope you enjoy!
