Lippy Lover

     I use to be strongly opposed to lipsticks because I was sure I looked ridiculous in any, but these past few months I struggle to leave the house without some on. I gravitated towards the deeper colors
because of my warmer complexion. Plus, who doesn't love a deep red or purple to warm up these cold
winter days.

     One of my all-time favorites has been Rebel by MAC. It is a deep berry purple with the slightest
blue undertone. I have yet to find an outfit it doesn't compliment. It has a very smooth consistency that
does not chap lips and its stay quality is impeccable. Even after all my coffee and all the transfer, the
color always fades beautifully into a lighter version. I line my lips with MAC's Vino lip pencil for extra
stay, and it also provides a deeper color.

Face Masks Galore

As what happens with everything in my life, I've become OBSESSED with face masks. There are periods of time that I have enough face masks to supply a small village. Face masks are a great way to hydrate, purify, cleanse, or exfoliate your skin. There is a face mask for everything! I usually purchase Lush's fresh face masks like BB Seaweed or one of my favorites Mask of Magniminty, but lately when I stop at Walmart I buy tons of the single face masks. I enjoy trying different types of masks, exfoliators, and hydration serums and these are actually pretty great. I haven't liked all of them, but thats the fun of buying a variety. Another great plus to these single face mask is the fact that they are so cheap ! Each are probably around 2 dollars. Yes it adds up after a while, but your getting a taste of so many different mask instead of one single type. I learnt not to buy my masks in such big quantities because of it drying out, or me getting tired of the same one after a while. Face masks is a fun way of relaxation, while treating your face nice at the same time.

August Birchbox

  For all that are not familiar with Birchbox it's a monthly subscription beauty and lifestyle box. Every month the box has a theme and has samples of high-end beauty products and extra treats on special months. Birchbox is only 10$/mnth, pretty cheap on the spectrum of monthly subscriptions.
  This month I opened my beauty school themed Birchbox and was disappointed at first. Then after I looked at everything and tried a couple of the products I was extremely pleased!

In this months box I received :

Eye Rock : single-use stick-on eyeliner strips (4 different designs)

Sample size of Juicy Couture's new perfume Viva La Fleur

theBalm cosmetics: Stainiac in Beauty Queen (lip stain)

Yu-Be : A best-selling moisturizing skin cream

Extra: newest Schick hydro silk razor

- I have tried all the products except the razor. I LOVE the products so far. My favorite are the stick on eyeliner and the lip stain (I will post pictures of them soon with individual reviews).

Essie : Boxer Shorts

This summer my love for nail polishes went into boom. Normally I gravitated to neon colors because it always compliments a good tan, but I could not resist this periwinkle color by Essie while at Walgreens. I've already received multiple compliments on it, and two people already knew it was Essie. Just shows the brands constant reliability on catching the eye.
