New Lip Obsession

Morning blog friends! I'm afraid I have some catching up to do today, things have been a tad crazy on my part. Also I just wanted to let you know that I am going to be on vacation from December 18th to January 4th. I am going to try to queue as many post as I can for that time but if there is a break in posting, at least you know why. But now, on to the fun things!!

On Black Friday I was in Ulta and got distracted by a display of a new product. I tested it and fell in love and had to buy it. This product was the Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm. All I can say is that this product is amazing. I got it in the color Unapologetic and it is a beautiful orangy, pink coral color. It is crazy pigmented and even with eating and drinking, the color lasts like a stain. It doesn't feel tacky or sticky and I pretty much forget I am wearing it, a nice treat for such a pigmented, rich color. I also love that it is truly matte.

The color I have is the second from the top.

It is easy to apply and I don't have to worry about repplication all the time. I am loving this and give it a total A+.

Give it a try and let me know what you think! Hope you are having a fantastic day!

Hello again?

Well you know what they say, the third time is the charm. I think I am going to give this blog thing another try because I absolutely love reading blogs. The next few months should be a bit wild and even if no one reads it, I'll be glad to have this to look back on. So I hope that if you are reading this you come along for the ride with me. My life is not exactly normal and there may be some people out there that find it kind of interesting. I know this was short but I wanted to keep the "I'm starting again" post short. I am going to be posting a pretty cool post about something amazing that happened and trust me, you will want to read it. 

I hope you are having a wonderful night.  

Lots of love,

5 Beauty Items I Can't Live Without

There are so many fantastic beauty products that I couldn't even begin to put them all in one post so I thought I would start off with my top 5. These products are ones that I have been using for a long time and love. They span makeup, skincare, and hair. Hopefully this will inspire you to try at least one of these products.

1. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB 8-In-1 Beauty Balm Skin Perfector

This is by far my favorite foundation or bb cream. I have tried many and I always come back to this one. I actually received a sample of it and didn't think much of it so I just put it in my drawer. One day I ran out of my other bb cream so I thought I would give it a try and I LOVED it. The coverage was enough to blur any blemishes I had but it still felt light and natural. I am on my 3rd one and I know it won't be my last. I wear the shade medium.

2. Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

I was late on the Naked Palette train. I never bought the first one and I wasn't going to get the 2nd. I ended up buying it with a gift card after the Tarte one I wanted was sold out. It turns out that was one of the best things. All of the colors are amazing and pigmented. I use every single color and there are so many combinations. This is what I take with me any time I go anywhere and it is perfect. I can't imagine not using it.

3. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

I have to do a lot to keep my skin clear and it is a rather intense process. This is the first thing I use in the morning before I do my makeup and part of my nighttime skin routine. It is a great cleanser and keeps my skin nice and soft. I love it and have two bottles of it one in my shower and one by the sink. I give it an A++

4. Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum

This is a life saver. My hair is a major pain and frizzy. I put this in before I straighten or curl my hair and it keeps it shiny and not frizzy. I have frizzy, hard to manage hair and this keeps it nice all day.

5. Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick-Kate Moss Collection in shade 014

This is my go to lipstick. It is a pinky nude color. It looks great by itself or you can put a nude or clear sparkly gloss over it to spice it up a little. I always carry this with me in my bag and I probably wear it 7/10 times that I wear lipstick. 

There were so many more products that I could have picked but these are my top 5 everyday products.
