This is a perfect fall color. It is Saucy Mauve Coloure Riche by L'Oreal. It is so creamy and beautiful. I love this color for the season.

Easy and Effective Skin Care Routine

Smile every chance you get.  Not because life has been easy, perfect, or exactly as you had anticipated, but because you choose to be happy and grateful for 
all the good things you do have and all the problems
 you know you don't have. 
I do this routine every day minus a couple of things that I only use once a week. This is a very quick and easy skin care routine that I have found to be very effective throughout the years and really make a difference in the health of my skin.

1. I like to start off by using Ponds Luminous clean face cleaner. It's a very gentle yet effective face cleanser that really focuses on pulling on of the makeup out of your pores and leaving your face looking bright and fresh. I use my Okay effects vibrating brush head with it to really get the cleanser down in deep to my pores and massage every thing in while mildly exfoliating.

This step is optional for days that I may be taking a lot of photos or will just be wearing makeup for a long time out and about and won't be able to touch up. This Olay shine shine go away is a cleanser that puts a Matte finish on your skin and so once you are out of the shower the oils your skin produces are absorbed and don't make your face oily. 

2. The next step is using my blemish control apricot scrub. It I identical to the St. Ives apricot scrub and has all of the benefits. It is paraben free which means less harmful chemicals. This scrub helps prevent and get rid of break out and also gently exfoliates the skin leaving is soft and clean. 

3. I use this about once a week. It is a paper face mask from Freemam using rise water and this really just helps put nutrients back in your skin preventing the dull look and makes it look bright and fresh again.

4. Then I use my cover girl clean eye makeup remover to get rid of whatever excess makeup that may still be on my eyes using a cotton round and gently take it off.

5. Then I use my Biore restoring skin boosting serum helping it look fresh and awake.

6. Then I take my Benefit eye potent cream and put it on under my eyes to help get rid of dark circles and fine line and really just hydrate my under eyes.

7. And finally I take my Ulta Skincare face lotion to help hydrated it and help prevent  fine lines and get rid of the uneven skin tone.

Fall Lip Colors


I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected
it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far
 more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just
happened to me without my ever seeking it.
Audrey Hepburn

         

The first is Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance 12 hour Lip Stick in the color Playful Purple Rose. It goes on incredibly smooth and is very hydrating. It stays on very well with the exceptional lip touch up. This is the perfect Mauve color for fall that gives a more noticeable color. 

Next is Loreals Colour Riche in the color Saucy Mauve. This is extremely pigmented and is true to color. While it doesn't stay on very long it is very hydrating and smooth. This is a more subtle mauve and is very natural for fall. 
 
The third is the Tarte Glamazon pue performance 12 hour Lipstick in the color Wild (Cool Red). This is the same line as the first color and has all of the same benefits. However this color is more of a in your face color. It is the classic red lip only fall addition with the blue undertones. This is perfect for fall.
 
The final product is the Milani Color Statement Lipstick in the color Raspberry Rush. This product truly feels so amazing on your lips and nourishes them while you wear. This color is the perfect Berry color for the fall season. The color goes on very bold as well and is good for this seasons look.

Sebastian Volupt Volume Shampoo & "Holy Grail"



Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it,  and sometimes even travel 

around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in  the manifestations of your own blessings. 
And once you have achieved a state of happiness,


 you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to 
keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.
 

The Sebastian Volupt Shampoo:
"Achieve great hair heights with Volupt Shampoo by Sebastian. Revolutionary cushioning particles construct your harmony of soft volume, shielding-in the lightness and enhancing your style with weightless micro-lite technology." 


This shampoo has quickly become my favorite shampoo I have ever tried. Before I get started on how well it works I just want to say how good it smells! It isn't some fruity, it is very clean and purfumey. The reason why I tried this product is because I have very thin and fine hair which causes my hair to look extremely lifeless. I search and searched for shampoos that helped fine hair and this one really stood out. It not only leaves my hair feeling so weightless and giving it good volume, but it leaves it feeling very clean feeling and has no oily residue some conditioners tend to leave.

5 Drugstore Mascaras That Actually Work!

Drug store mascaras are honestly some of the best around. And who can argue with the price compared to some of the higher end lines. These are my favorite mascaras that work amazingly and are worth a shot:
Physicians formula: 100% natural ingredients. Very buildable and create thick dramatic looking lashes that don't flake. Because of the natural ingredients it helps keep your lashes conditioned and doesn't damage them.  

Revlon lash potion: Has strengthening proteins that gives your lashes a lush and voluminous look. Triple groove wand combs through lashes for a clump free length. Only one coat is needed for a look. 
Almay get up and grow: Has lash conditioning powers that makes your lashes grow stronger every day. All day clump free wear. 


Wet n wild mega volume water proof 
mascara: This is a good volumizing mascara that doesn't flake or clump and works very well for the price. 
Maybelline  Colossal Volume Express: 
Provides a clump free look that has collagen that helps plump up the look up your lashes even further.

Coastal Scents Metal Mania Eye Shadow Palette

This palette is the most versatile palette I have come across yet. I love it so much and I just had to share it with you!

Facts!:
It is only $12.99! That is so cheap and think about it, most little quads you get from the drug store are around 5-8 dollars with brings me to my next point.

There are 88 colors in here. That is so many for such an inexpensive product.

The color range is amazing. It has your light colors that can be use for highlighters to crazy pinks and greens and blues to more smokey colors like purple and deeper colors to dark grays, browns and blacks. 

This is not a matte eye shadow palette. There is shimmer so this definitely brightens up your eyes. But because of that there is some fall out. 

If you want to order this palette just go to the link below and I promise it won't disappoint!

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

The Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer has become a favorite of mine. First off lets talk about how easy to use it is. All you have to do is twist the applicator and the product will dispense up onto the spongy tip and then you can apply it to your problem areas directly. It has amazing coverage and wears incredibly well. It really doesn't crease up on me and doesn't fade and feels pretty light. It was definitely a good price for this product. 

The only complaint I have about this product is that since you need to twist the applicator to dispense the product, which in turn pushes down on a little thing on the inside of the tube that dispenses the product up through the tube, a lot of product gets left behind in the tube which is in reachable. So I guess if I want it ill have to some how break it open to get it. Cause it really is a lot of product left behind!

But other than that I love this product and will continue to buy it if it isn't to hard or messy reaching the rest of the product! 

By the way it is about $8 at your local drugstore! 

Bath and Body Works + Victorias Secret Haul

So everyone knows that Bath and Body works had their store wide sale where everything was 75% off and the candles were only $10. So I stopped and grabbed a few things. Plus I also got one Victoria's Secret pink body mist. Did you know the two were sister stores?!?!

So first was the Expresso bar candle for $10 and omg this thing smells so amazing! I had to get it. I was with my friend and she was like that's a no brainer! 


Next I got the wall flowers in Peach Bellini, I have this scent for my car and love it so much I had to get it for me room. It came in a pack of 2 for only $6!


Then I got the Wild Peach Poppies body lotion and holy cow this thing is amazing. It just smells so freakish good! I wear this the time now and get so many compliments. It's so girly smelling! I got it for seriously like $3.


Then I picked up another air freshener for my car. I was going to get my mom one of the cheaper plastic ones there but this was 75% off and so cute so I got it for myself and gave my mom mine. I love it! It was like $3 again. 


Then I went to Victoria's Secret because I figured since they are sister stores they would have a sale too and they were! Everything was 65% off or more which is amazing! So I picked the Pink Surf Party body mist up for like $6 which is a great deal. It's a really fresh scent and I just can't get over it!

Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid Powered Contour Cleansing System


This kit is meant to give you the ability to fit the contours of your face and deep clean around the T-zone and other heard to teach areas for a full face cleansing. It is supposed to take dirt, oil and makeup out if your pores and reveal a healthy looking glow. 

So here is what comes in the kit. 

Both of these items can be used together are separate. However you prefer to clean your face.

So lets start off with the brush tool. 
The brush is shaped so that it has the ability to fit all the grooves of your face. The bristles on it are made of soft little pieces of rubber I think and those vibrate when the brush is turned on. It is a very gentle vibrate and feels really good on the skin while at the same time you can tell it is really worked the face wash down in to your skin. It is super easy to clean too. What I do is just take a little bit of soap and run it through and then rinse it out. What I like about this took is it runs off battery and can be kept up in maintenance so easily. Also if you don't like the scrub that comes with it you can use your own that you really love and take it to the next level with this cleansing tool. 



Next is the face wash. It is the Olay Fresh Effects Shine Shine go away face wash. It is a shine minimizing cleanser that is meant to be out directly on the the head of the brush and worked into the skin. It honestly smells really good. It has a clean fresh smell and feels really good on my face. I could tell a difference right after my shower cause my face just seemed dryer. And not in a dry skin way but like it took all the extra oils out of my skin and left it soft and smooth. 

I really recommend this product so far however time tells all and we will see how well it continues to work for me in the future.
