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!!

Sometimes its hard.....

You know when you keep thinking of something and you just feel like you have to get it out? That was me before sitting down to write this post. I had something else planned to write but I kept thinking...sometimes its hard and it just evolved from there. We all heard the sayings, life isn't fair, life is hard and so on. Sometimes life can be hard but we don't experience it for long. There are so many things that I want to do but I know I can't do a million things at once. I can't just pick and go anymore, I'm someone's parent now. There are times I want to but I know things have to be planned out now. I will get to those place I want to go, just have to be patient and plan it out. It seems like we focus so much on what is hard about life that we forget about the easy stuff. We forget sometimes about all the good things that happen and to be grateful for getting through those rough patches. You may not like your living situation but you have a roof over

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
