July Favorites - 2014 | Elizabeth Vasquez

Hello Everyone!

July is over which means school is just around the corner. Luckily enough for me, it is August which happens to be my Birth-Month. There is a good chance that I will be working on my actual birthday, but I think I'll survive. I am super excited to start school because I will be graduating next December with a degree that I love. I'm hoping that these next semesters go by quickly so that I can get a job in my field of study. Back to the beauty world. I tried so many new products during the month of July and some have become my absolute favorites. Most of these products have made it into my daily routine and the rest are essential for Summer. Here are my July favorites...

July Favorites - 2014

Banana Boat Sport Performance Spray Sunscreen SPF 100: The temperature here in South Texas has been unbelievable. We have had 100 degree weather everyday for the past couple of weeks. I am a person that gets sunburned very quickly, but hates putting on sunscreen. It makes me feel greasy and takes forever to apply. I picked up this spray sunscreen before my trip to the beach a couple of weeks ago. It was very easy to apply since the mist is clear and it is so quick to just spray my body and face with. I was at the beach for about 8 hours and I only got the slightest tan. I love this sunscreen and recommend it if you burn easily, or are lazy like I am.

Murad Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum: It is no secret that I struggle with hyperpigmentation. Since I finished the last product I was trying, I though I would pick up this serum and see if it made more of a difference than the last. I had never tried a Murad product before, but this serum made me want to try other products from the line. This serum was a bit on the pricy side, but I have found that most (if not all) serums are. Within the first week, I noticed a huge difference in my dark-spots. My entire face seems so much more even and my spots are not as noticeable. I find myself using a less amount of concealer to hide imperfections and I love that. This serum does make your face sensitive so there are a few recommendations: use at least SPF 30 before going into the sun, only use at night and do not use continuously for more than 3 months.

Clean & Clear Advantage 3-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser: When it comes to treating acne, I have found that my skin reacts best to benzoyl peroxide. This acne medication is more difficult to find than salicylic acid, especially in the drugstore. I was lucky enough to find this drugstore cleanser and really enjoyed it this past month.  It really helped to treat any existing acne that I had, and prevent future breakouts. The exfoliation isn't harsh on the skin and gentle enough to use on a daily basis.

Clean & Clear All-in-One Cleansing Wipes: I picked up these wipes the same time I got the cleanser (they were right next to the cleanser and I needed new wipes haha). I actually enjoyed these more than I did the other Clean & Clear makeup removing wipes. Something about the smell of these wipes really helps to relax me and prepare me for bed. I truly feel like they remove all of my makeup and they keep my skin feeling clean. These wipes have sea minerals and sea kelp extract (I'm not exactly sure what these things do, but my skin looks and feels great). Again I would like to point out that although there are 30 days in a month, there are only 25 wipes.

Maybelline Dream Pure BB 8-in1 Beauty Balm Skin Clearing Perfector: Because my skin has been better than usual, I have been able to wear lighter makeup. During the Summer I tend to gravitate to more BB creams than foundations. This BB cream is supposed to have acne clearing properties, that caught my attention. I love how light this feels on my skin, but still gives a nice amount of coverage. It is so easy to blend into the skin and does a reasonable job of adjusting to your skin tone. There are a couple of shades available and it is easy to work with. I'm not sure how much this actually helped my acne, but I didn't cause any extra breakouts.

Makeup Forever Full Cover Extreme Camouflage Cream: Waterproof makeup is my best friend during the Summer and trips to the beach. I don't like to wear too much makeup when I go to the pool or beach, but I do like to coverup a few problem areas. I also don't like to have to keep fixing my makeup or reapplying it because it completely disappeared. With this concealer I know that all my problems areas will be fully covered and that it will last all day.

Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo Leather Collection (Chocolate Suede): On lazy makeup days, (which occur more often than usual) I tend to gravitate towards cream shadows for a quick splash of color. I have a rather large collection of the Color Tattoos, especially the neutral shades. This particular shade is part of the Leather Collection. It is a bronze shade that is more on the chocolate, brown side. This shade is beautiful all over the lid alone, or mixed with other shadows. Although it is Summer, I have found myself wearing this darker shade more than bright, fun colors.

Milani Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow (Bella Bronze): This eyeshadow goes along the same line as the previous. I actually love using these two products to create a beautiful bronze eye look. These Gel eyeshadows are absolutley wonderful. The pigmentation is ahhhhmazing and they are super easy to blend with other shadows. The quality of these shadows is remarkable for the inexpensive price that you pay.

Natural Collection Blushed Cheeks (Peach Melba): Although the name itself says "peach," I would say that this blush is more on the mauve/pink side. For some reason, I have never been the biggest fan of different colored blush. Something about my skin tone makes me feel like no color really fits me right. When I do wear blush, I tend to pick something very natural and understated. This shade just gives the right amount of color and gives a very natural look. This particular blush was actually sent to me from a fellow beauty blogger and it is one of my absolute favorites.

Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash Mascara (Blackest Black): Very similar to my eyebrows, my eyelashes are very long and dark. This time of year I look for mascaras that will just define my lashes and not change them too much. The Buxom Lash mascara is perfect for everyday makeup. It gives me the volume and length that I desire without being clumpy or too dramatic.

MAC Cremesheen Lipstick (Lickable): Yet another MAC lipstick has made it into my monthly favorites. I own way too many of these lipsticks but they are some of my absolute favorites. This shade is a bit brighter than all the other makeup I have featured in this post. Something about this particular shade of fuchsia looks very nice with my tan. I like to apply it to my lips and then blend it in a bit with my finger to take it down a notch.

Music: For music I though it would be nice to just list and link all of the songs that I have been loving this past month.

Sia - Chandelier
Bastille - Oblivion
Echosmith - Cool Kids
Sia - Dressed in Black
Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass
Demi Lovato - Really Don't Care
Ariana Grande - Break Free
Melanie Martinez - Dollhouse
Troye Sivan - Happy Little Pill

Hope you enjoyed this post :)
Please let me know your favorite songs so I can give them a listen!

June Favorites - 2014 | Elizabeth Vasquez

Hello Everyone!

This past month has been rather difficult for me, as you may have read here. Since I worked a lot more hours than I usually do, I didn't have much time to try out new products. These are products that I found myself using on my days off and more than anything else in my collection. I am also super excited that Summer is here and will be posting a couple of posts incorporating this season. The next couple of posts will include new drugstore products that I have been putting to the test, so I hope you're looking forward to that. Let us begin....

June Favorites - 2014

- Toni&Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray: I have really been loving having my hair in loose beach waves. It looks very natural and takes little time to do. I love being lazy during the Summer and this type of hairstyle allows me to look put-together without trying very hard. I have tried many sea salt sprays and this is the only one that I enjoy using. It doesn't make my hair stiff or smell weird, which is a major plus. It gives my hair texture and volume and the style lasts.

- Clean & Clear Makeup Dissolving Facial Cleansing Wipes: I had been stuck on using the Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes to remove my makeup, for such a long time. The last time that I ran out, I decided to try something new and picked up these. I am rather upset that there are only 25 wipes in a pack when there are usually 30 days in a month, but that is besides the point. One wipe is all you need to remove a full face of makeup, which includes waterproof mascara. They do not break me out or leave my face feeling dry afterwards.

- Stila In the Light Palette: I have talked about this palette many times before because I love it so much. It is the perfect neutral palette that has everything that you need in one place. I can do so many different look using this palette, without having to reach for any other product.

- Tarte Amazonian Clay Off the Cuff Cheek Palette: I hate talking about this product since it was limited edition and I know so many people were trying to get it. Blush always disappears from my face very quickly for no apparent reason. These Tarte blushes are the only ones that really seem to last all day for me. This palette has every color that you need for the Summer. There a couple of brighter options and a couple of neutral shades, along with a bronzer. It is very travel friendly and perfect for the Summer.

- MAC Creme In Your Coffee Lipstick: By this point it is very clear that I am obsessed with MAC lipsticks. This is a deep nude/pink shade that I have fallen in love with. I have worn this shade more than any other lip product this month. It goes with any look from neutral to a smokey eye. It is very creamy and would look good on so many different skin tones.

- MAC Lip Pencil (Spice): I have been loving the deep nude lip looks this past month. This is a very dark nude/pink lip liner that I like to use all over my lips. It is a very Kylie Jenner kind of shade that I  cannot get enough of. 

- Tarte Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder: Due to the extremely hot weather I have been needing to set my makeup with some type of powder. Since I do use a lighter shade of concealer under my eyes, I don't like to use my face powder to set this area. This is a very fine and light finishing powder. I swirl a brush into the lid and and swipe it over my concealer. It helps to last all day and to prevent creasing.

- Benefit Hoola Bronzer: As it is Summer, I am a bit more tan that I am throughout the rest of the year. The lighter bronzers that I have don't seem to make much of a difference in my complexion, so I have been reaching for my Hoola Bronzer more than anything else. The shade is perfect for my skin tone and doesn't make my face look muddy or orange. I can build it up to contour my face and lightly brush it all over for a beautiful tan.

- Origins GinZing Mascara: It has been more than 100 degrees here almost every single day and I don't know if I'll survive until the end of the Summer. Because all my makeup just seems to melt in the heat, I don't like to wear a lot of it. My eye makeup is very natural and minimal. I love this mascara since it looks like your lashes, but better. It is natural but gives a bit of length and volume, without looking too intense. 

- Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer (Kitten): I find that cream and liquid eyeshadows seem to work best on me for this heat. I absolutely love the Kitten shade in the Stila In the Light palette and this is just the liquid version. It is easy to blend and stays on the lid all day. I don't have to worry about it disappearing from my eyelid or having to retouch it throughout the day.

- NARS Sheer Glow Foundation: One of my all time favorite foundations to use during the Summer is the NARS Sheer Glow. When a BB cream isn't enough coverage for me, I immediately choose this foundation for a little extra coverage. It gives the skin a very beautiful glow without looking oily or greasy. It has medium coverage, but can be built up.


Hope you enjoyed this post :)
What are your June favorites?

May Favorites - 2014 | Elizabeth Vasquez

Hello Everyone!

I realize that we are more than half way done with the month of June, but I failed to post a May favorites last month. As you may know, I've been away from the blogging world for a bit to try to deal with some life stuff. If you would like to know why, then you can read all about it here. If found these photos in my camera and decided that they shouldn't go to waste. Here are the things that I loved during the month of May.

May Favorites - 2014

Skincare:

- First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Serum: I'm a really big fan of serums. They make my skin feel so much better and really help my moisturizers absorb into my skin. This serum is perfect for people with uneven skin and dark spots. I've used this for a little over a month and my dark spots have continued to get lighter and my skin looks much more even. This is a bit on the pricy side, but it is well worth the money. 

- Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips: This is a product that I have used for years and most people know of. I'm not too sure what the major difference is between these and the regular pore strips, but I tend to choose these in hopes that they might make my face look amazing. These are perfect for clearing up the pores in your nose area.

Hair:

- Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Anti-Humidity Smoothing Milk: Just to give you an idea of how extreme the weather is in Texas, I will tell you that the sun is completely gone and it is 98 degrees Fahrenheit outside right now. With this weather comes frizzy hair. I've talked about this smoothing milk before and will continue to use this for the rest of my life. It helps to control the frizz in my hair and makes my hair feel so soft. It doesn't make your hair feel stiff or weighed down. It is also a great way to keep your hair from looking dry as well.

- Not Yours Mother's Plump For Joy Thickening Hair Lifter: This product is the reason that I want to try every single one of the Not Your Mother's products. I was looking for something that would instantly give me volume without making my hair feel stiff and this product does just that. Th texture is that of a gel which was very unexpected since it is in a spray bottle. I spray a couple of pumps into my palms and rub it into the roots of my hair. It works on either wet or dry hair and gives loads of volume.

Makeup: 

- L'Oreal True Match Foundation (N3): I mentioned this product in my last favorites but in a different shade. Sometimes my skin tone isn't as warm as it is other days and I found that the neutral tone works best for me. This line has so many different shades that it would be almost impossible to not find one that fits you.

- Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette (Light): I am obsessed with the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer and when I ran out I needed something quick. I picked this concealer palette up at Target as a quick backup and I am so glad that I did. With this palette you are able to mix the colors to find your perfect shade. I use the top two shades the most for under my eyes and on dark spots. It also comes with a green toned concealer to cover dark circles and a setting power. This concealer will cover just about anything and blends very easily.

MAC Matte Lipstick (Velvet Teddy): This Summer I am all about the nude lips. MAC lipsticks are definitely my favorite lipsticks to wear. This is a beautiful pinky nude shade that is a bit more creamy than matte. It isn't drying on the lips, but doesn't have a glossy finish either. This is the perfect lip color to pair with any type of eye look.

MAC Lip Pencil (Dervish): It wasn't until this past month that I became interested in lip liners. I was a bit terrified of using them, but when I saw this shade I had to try it. This lip pencil is a pink shade with a pearly finish to it. As opposed to just using this to line my lips, I will actually fill in my entire lips with it. The color lasts for a really long time and it makes my lips look fuller than they actually are.

- Maybelline Color Tattoo (Sleek & Spice): Because I have been using mostly nude lipsticks, I have been going a bit darker on my eyes. I know that this is not exactly the thing to do during the Summer, but it's what I have been enjoying to do lately. These Color Tattoos are great for quick looks that last all day. This shade is a taupe that leans more on the brown side. It looks beautiful on its own, under other shadows, or combined with other shadows in the crease.

- NYC Liquid Eyeliner (Black): I don't know if it is just me, but eyeliner always disappears from my eyes. I leave the house with it and when I return it is completely gone. I love the Kat Von D eyeliner, but it is a bit on the pricy side. I picked this up as a cheaper alternative and it is amazing. It is super dark and stays on my eyes the entire day. It is a bit tricky when you first apply it since it is so wet, but once it dries you are set. It is extremely inexpensive and easy to apply.

Random:

Dr. Dre beats: I am not a big fan of headphones that go over the head because of my small head. Most headphones are too big and fall off, or too low and make it difficult to listen to the music. I never knew what all the hype was on headphones that covered the entire ear, until I tried these. I have the studio version of these beats and they are amazing. Once you listen to music on these bad boys, music will never sound the same when you listen to it any other way. Everything is so clear and you can really appreciate the songs that you like. I do have to wear these in the smallest way possible and they are still a bit big, but I can work with them.

Contact case: There's not much to say about this contact case except for the fact that it is adorable. I love anything with flowers on it so when I saw this case in Forever 21, I had to have it.

Bows: I have been obsessed with bows this Spring/Summer. They add something really cute to any outfit and can be worn so many different. These can be found very inexpensive at Forever 21 in loads of different colors.

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

What are you looking forward to most this Summer??

April Favorites - 2014 | Elizabeth Vasquez

Hello Everyone!

As it may seem, I cannot seem to start a post without apologizing for a unexpected disappearance. These last couple of weeks have been a complete roller coaster which seems to have reached the end of its course. So many life issues came up and I had little to no time to myself. Now that things have settled down, it is safe to expect regular posts on a more frequent basis. The month of April came and went and I loved a couple of products and thought it would be fun to share them with you. 

April Favorites

Simple Soothing Eye Balm: This eye balm claims to "sooth and relax tired eyes," which I did not see much of. It is however, very good at moisturizing the eye area. I had a very bad dry patch on my eye lid that made it very difficult to apply eye shadow on top of. A couple of days after using this product, the patch was gone. I love to use this all around the eye area to keep everything moisturized.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream: This year's strange pattern of weather has had a negative affect on my skin. I went from having oily skin to having dry skin. There were a couple of areas on my face that never seemed to have enough moisture regardless of the amount of cream I used on them. After using this cream, those area are smooth and no longer dry. I use this cream night and day and cannot get enough of it.

Vaseline Lip Therapy: Last month my lips had a negative reaction to a lip product I was using. They were extremely sensitive and had little bumps on them. They weren't noticeable to others but felt horrible. After a second reaction, I discovered what product it was and threw it away. I used this product on its own to help my lips recover and it worked wonderfully. My lips are better than before and super hydrated.

TRESemme Non-Aerosol Hair Spray: During the month of April, I found myself curing my hair more often than usual. When I curl my hair, I like to go for a messy look and not too serious. After wrapping my hair around my curling iron to make loose waves, I would run my fingers to make them a bit messy. I loved to spray this to keep everything together and not stiff.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer: I was way too excited when I found this concealer in K-Mart. This concealer is beautiful to use to highlight and cover any imperfections. It is creamy and has amazing coverage. I use this under my eyes, on my forehead, down my nose and chin area. It does not crease, and is easy to blend.

L'Oreal Tru Match Foundation: I have no clue why it took me so long to try this foundation. I picked this up for no particular reason, and I am hooked. It matches my skin tone perfectly and there are enough shades to match anyone. I apply this with a Beauty Blender for a flawless and easy base. It has medium coverage but can be built up. I highly recommend this to everyone and ask that you give this a go at least once.

MAC Lipstick Kinda Sexy: I have been wearing this lipstick nonstop since I purchased it. It is a slightly darker pinky-nude shade. It goes with any look and is beautiful in person. I believe this is one of the new shades that was released and should be in everyone's lipstick collection.

NARS Light Reflecting Setting Pressed Powder (Translucent): After looking through my makeup collection, I rediscovered this product. I was back and forth with whether or not I liked this product when I first purchased it. I currently use this to set my under eye concealer and anywhere else that I highlight. I love how this keeps my concealer in place and brightens the areas that I highlighted.

Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara: The most basic, yet most wonderful product it this one. I have wild eyebrows that are very thick and dark. Since they don't need to be filled in, I would just leave them to do what they wanted. I started to use this clear gel on my brows and there is no going back for me. It keeps my eyebrows in place without looking stiff.

Fashion: I have been on a accessory craze this season. I have been going out of my comfort zone and trying larger pieces of jewelry. I purchased these two pairs of earring at Forever 21 for about $3 a pair. I think that they add something new to an outfit and I am loving trying to accessorize outfits.

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

I have many different posts planned so please come back to visit.

I love you all to the moon and back <3

March Favorites - 2014 | Elizabeth Vasquez

Hello Everyone!

Long time no blog....

I have been terribly slacking on here lately and I do apologize. The end of the semester is quickly approaching and I will soon have more time to blog more. I usually post these types of posts at the very beginning of the month, but that clearly didn't happen. Better late than never. Here are some of the things that I loved throughout the month of March.

March Favorites - 2014

Hair:

Pantene Sheer Volume Shampoo & Pantene Sheer Volume Conditioner: My poor hair has had to be neglected a bit this month. Because I work five days a week, my hair spends the majority of the time in a bun and out of the way. On the two days that I don't work and go to school, I love having my hair down. This shampoo and conditioner really makes my hair feel light and bouncy. It doesn't feel weighed down by how long it is. It feels smooth, soft and is really easy to handle.

Body:

PINK with a Splash Soft & Dreamy: I normally love sweet smelling body mists because I get headaches from strong scents. During the Spring I like to use mists that are very light and warm. This body mist from Victoria's Secret is perfect for the Spring time. It is a fruity scent with a hint of warm vanilla (If your not the biggest fan of vanilla don't worry, it is very minimal).

Caress Tahitian Renewal Exfoliating Body Wash: I absolutely love the Caress body washes. They are inexpensive and they last such a long time since a little goes a long way with them. This body wash smells so amazing and the exfoliating part is just a plus. It isn't harsh on the skin and the smell lasts a good amount of time.

Skincare:

Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towlettes: I am officially hooked on these makeup remover wipes. The wipes are big enough to take a full face of makeup off without having to use multiple wipes. They are very moist and gentle on the skin. These wipes have not made me breakout and actually seem to be improving my skin.

St. Ives Green Tea Scrub: This cleanser has made its way back into my favorites this past month. My skin did not look and feel the same when I stopped using this cleanser. It is an amazing exfoliator and gets into your pores to clean them out. The green tea really helps to control my acne and prevent future blemishes.

Makeup:

Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder (220): I initially got this powder when I got the foundation and concealer. Apparently if you found your shade in one, you could immediately know what the shades of the other two would be. This did not seem to be the case with me. This powder was too light and had too much sheen and sparkle to it. I recently began using this to set my under eye concealer and I love it. It serves almost as a highlighter and really brightens my face.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser: I clearly have not been getting enough sleep recently, but this really helps to hide it. Everyone raves about this product and there is great reasons to. It transforms my face to look brighter and more awake.

Sleek Face Contour Kit: I have really been into contouring my cheekbones and this is the perfect product for it. It is very pigmented and easy to blend on the face. It also comes with a beautiful highlighter that looks amazing on everyone. Although it is not available to purchase in the U.S., you can order it on the Sleek website and have it shipped to you for a very low price.

Maybelline Color Tattoo (Caramel Cool): I recently did a look involving this product and I can't get enough of it. It is a beautiful copper/gold shade that is perfect for Spring. This shade could look amazing on so many different skin tones and is easy to work with.

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

What were your favorites last month?

February Favorites - 2014 | Elizabeth Vasquez

Hello Everyone!

Though most of you in college might know, these past couple of weeks have been mid-term weeks. This means loads of exams, research papers and presentations were due. As much as I love blogging, education must always come first (no matter how much I don't want to study or write papers haha). February flew by and I can't seem to remember half of it due to my stress and anxiety. I did have the chance to try loads of new things and I really enjoyed most of them. These were by far my stand-out products for this past month. As just a little heads up, I will be uploading a couple of outfit posts soon and am looking for suggestions on what else you would like to see on here.

February Favorites.

Some of these products are new and some of them I have already reviewed. I have link all products that have been reviewed previously.

Hair:

 - L'Oreal Boost It High Lift Creation Spray: I have reviewed this product here. Every since I started using this product, my hair has so much more volume. Since I was so used to using dry shampoos for volume I wasn't too sure how I would feel about this product. This has replaced all of my other products and I use it on a daily basis. The volume stays and doesn't need constant attention.

- L'Oreal Volume Filler Fiber Amplifying Concentrate: I have reviewed this product here. I used up all three of the tubes that were in this box and my hair is full of bounce. It literally feels as though I have twice as much hair as I did before. I plan to buy another box since my hair was super thin before. If you have a lot of hair, or thick hair, then one box of this should be fine.

- L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Damage-Earsing Balm: I have reviewed this product here. This is my favorite hair-care product at the moment. My hair looks so healthy and better than it did before I bleached it. It seems to have the shine that I lost when I decided to ombre my hair. It is not longer dry and there are no split ends visible.

Skin:

- Orgins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask: The weather has been horrible this past month and it doesn't seem like it's going to change anytime soon. My skin has been so dry because of the cold and that is unusual for my skin. I use this mask almost everyday and I can see such a difference the next day. My makeup applies so much smoother since my skin is so hydrated.

- Tea Tree Oil: I have a review of this product here. My acne seems to have diminished so much since I stared to use this oil. I do get an occasional blemish, but I don't have the constant 15 mini spots all over my forehead like I usually did. It has an odd smell, but it fades and after using it for a while you get used to it.

Makeup:

- Maybelline Fit Me Concealer: I have rediscovered this bad boy this past month and fell back in love. This concealer is very creamy and has light coverage. I use this under my eyes to brighten them a bit, but if you have dark circles this might not have enough coverage. 

- Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder: I have not been very oily with the cold, dry weather so I haven't been using my usual makeup products. I love using this powder to set my makeup and just apply a very thin layer. This controls the little shine that I might have and does't feel heavy on the skin.

- Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation: If you are looking for a inexpensive foundation for the Spring, than this is what you need. This foundation has amazing coverage but doesn't feel heavy on the skin. This is extremely matte so if you have dry skin I wouldn't recommend this for you. it blends easily and lasts a long amount of time.

- Tarte Lipgloss (When in Rome): I have still been loving a nude lip this past month. This lipgloss looks absolutely gorgeous on top of nude lipsticks. There is glitter in the gloss, but not the glitter that you can feel when the gloss is gone. It has a minty smell and feel and is very sticky. This shade is just perfect for the Spring time and looks good on different skin tones.

- MAC Lustre Lipstick (Jubilee): This lipstick has found its way into my favorites again this month. Although the formula of the lipstick is a lustre, it is very creamy on the lips. It glides on with ease and feels amazing. This is the perfect nude color that doesn't look like your skin tone. If you want to invest in a MAC lipstick that you can wear on a regular basis, than I highly suggest this shade.

- NARS Guy Bourdin One Night Stand Cheek Palette: I simply cannot get enough of this palette. It includes a bronzer, highlighter and four blushes. This is perfect for travel since it gives you options and doesn't take up too much space. NARS blushes are simply amazing and this was a great deal for the quality of product that you get. The colors are great for anytime of the year and work on so many skin tones.

- Sleek Au Naturel Palette: I have been going for a single look for the majority of the month and I have used this palette (I will be making a post on the look soon so keep your eye out for it). The quality of these eyeshadows is so amazing for the price that you pay. This is a great natural palette that creates so many different looks. It is a combination of matte and shimmery shades. This palette is very well loved and preferred over some high end products.

Fashion:

- A recent love of mine has been midi rings. I was a little hesitant to wear these with the fear of losing them. My fingers are pretty thin and its hard to find a right size for them. I am so glad that I decided to try these because they just add a little something extra to an outfit. My rose gold heart ring and gold crown ring are my absolute favorite. I would have shown a picture of me wearing them, but my nail polish is so scary at the moment haha.

Random:

- After what seemed like an eternity, I got the chance to watch the movie Frozen. I will say that I cannot get enough of this movie. I went through so many different emotions while watching it and I am absolutely in love . It's so different than most Disney movies and it so family friendly. There's so many great messages within the movie and everyone should see it at least once. Like seriously, you need to watch this movie. No joke. Just do it. Please.

(Image take from Google)

- This song has been on repeat for the last couple of weeks. The music video might not be appropriate for younger viewers, but the song is super fun. Shakira and Rihanna's voices blend beautifully together and there is a bit of a rock edge to the song that I love. I have actually been on a Shakira craze lately and this song is tied with Hips Don't Lie for my most played song this past month. 

These were my favorites for the month of February. I normally write these post a bit earlier, but you know how demanding school is. I would love to know your favorites in the comments.

Hope you enjoyed this post :)
