My August Favs!!

Figured I would post my favorites products of the month that I love and would recommend that you guys try! I'm going to start from left to right:

1. NYC Lipstick in Caramel ~I am just getting into the drugstore brands and I'm loving this lipstick!! It's a great neutral shade that I think anyone can wear and it feels great!

2. Victoria Secret High Definition Mascara in Blackest Black ~I picked this up during the semi-annual sale and I'm in love! It came in a box with another mascara but I like this one the best. It really gives my lashes length, doesn't clump and comes off easy at the end of the day. I hope this isn't being discontinued cause I'm definitely going to be repurchasing this one!!

3. Make Facial Primer~ I got in this in one of my Birchboxes and I really like it. I love that it has SPF in it and goes on smooth. It can also worn alone. Your makeup stays on all day and is just an overall great product!

4. Victoria Secret Mega Glow Bronzer~Also picked this up during the semi-annual sale. The only bronzer I ever used was by MAC and I love this one just as much. It really gives you a nice glow and makes you looked sun kissed.

5. Korres Pomegranate Balancing Cream-Gel Moisturizer ~ The employees at Sephora are so helpful and knowledgeable. I'm always in there for different products. My face tends to act funny with moisturizers. My forehead gets oily and most moisturizers make it worse or the rest of my skin gets dry. Korres works really we'll with my skin. My forehead is not so oily and it keeps my skin smooth and moisturized during the day.

6. Sukiface Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser with Lemongrass Extract and Natural Sugar~ Got this product in a Birchbox and it's amazing. Before you apply it to your face, it feels like a scrub but once you start to wash your face it foams up. It's really gentle and not too harsh. It leaves my skin feeling smooth. I'll have to post about my homemade scrub soon!

7. Stila Tinted Moisturizer in Deep ~I haven't had luck with finding a BB cream that matched my skintone. I've tried Maybelline and L'oreal and they were too light. I went into Sephora one day and I was so happy to find this!! It matches me perfectly, very lightweight and is just wonderful. I look like I have a nice glow and just natural looking. It's great when I don't feel like wearing foundation and it was especially great during the summer!

8. Wet N Wild Lipstick in Light Beige Frost~ I've always been afraid of lipsticks that out of my comfort zone of colors to wear. I saw this and decided to take a chance and I love it!! It's like a neutral pink against my complexion and looks great. I've been missing out of these drugstore brands and I'm glad I'm exploring them now!!

9. Almay Liquid Lip Balm in Truffle Kiss~I got a coupon from Target for 2.50 off of this product and decided to give it a try. Of course I went with a safe color but I love it. It goes on smooth, not sticky and stays on for a good while. And it doesn't dry you lips at all!!

We'll that's my August Favorites, I will have September ones soon!! Hope you guys enjoyed and try out those products!!

Taking a break.......

On Tuesday I did mention that I had some exciting news to share. I have been working part time for a while and searching like crazy for full time work. I was starting to get a little frustrated but never gave up. Well a full time opportunity came up at my current job and I am now full time status!!! I was just so overjoyed and thankful. I will have a more stable income, I can go back to school and start to make some moves. Then I started to get a little overwhelmed. How was I going to juggle being a full-time working mom, grad student, blogger and balance everything else. It has been a while since I had a full time schedule and based my blogging schedule around my days off during the week. I start my full time hours next week and just need to take a small break away from Naturalle Drea. I really didn't want to because I love this so much but I need to see how to handle everything. I will most likely change my blogging schedule around. Thank you to those who have been encouraging to...

Make Beauty Review*

Happy Friday beauty lovers! I hope you have been enjoying Winter again lol! I hope Mother Nature gets it together soon lol. Today I am bringing you another review powered by BrandBacker! *I was sent these products for testing purposes and this is my opinion after using. Let's get into the reviews! *Powered By BrandBacker* I was pretty excited when I was picked for this campaign. I have tried a Make Beauty eyeshadow before and loved it. Honestly, I was expecting the samples to be a little bigger. I was a little disappointed in the lipstick sample, it was hard to use. It kept breaking when I was trying to apply it. Make Beauty is a very new company to me that I was introduced to through Birchbox.  They have just about everything from eyeshadows to contour kits. They also have a line for skincare as well. Alabaster Eyeshadow This shadow on the Make Beauty site is described as a soft eggshell with peach undertones. This shadow is a matte and can be used as a brow ...

No Buy is Officially Over!!

Yay!! I survived 2 months without a single makeup purchase!! I am so proud of myself and knew I had the will power to do it!! It really helped me staying out of Sephora, Ulta and Mac, the usual places that get me in trouble lol! When I went into Target or Walmart, I wouldn't even go near the makeup section. Funny thing is, I haven't run to the store yet to purchase anything on my wish list yet but I will soon. You can see what is on my wish list here.  After organizing my makeup, I realized I have a lot of products that I don't use and need to try out soon. I'm going to try to really shop my stash before running out and buying something new. Maybe next time, I will go for a 3 month no buy!! Have you successfully completed a no buy? What is currently on your wish list? Comment below and let me know!! ~** Drea Notes**~ We went to the beach today and I'm so glad we did! It was such a fun day with the family!! I'm trying to get back to working out lol!  ...
