Beauty Crown Awards- Week 2~ Facial Care Products







The Beauty Crown Awards are a yearly favorites collaborative effort including beauty bloggers around the globe. The Beauty Crown Awards were created by Lily from Beauty with Lily Liz from My Pretty Obsessions, Jackie from Five Two Certified, and Shalunya from Shalunya & Boyet. We felt that a collaborative effort from a large number of beauty bloggers would be much more interesting to our readers and would garner more attention. The Beauty Crown Awards are a 5 week event with each week covering types of products.

Week 1 - Personal Care Products - Dec 2 - Dec 8, 2013
Week 2 - Facial Products - Dec 9 - Dec 15, 2013
Week 3 - Lip & Nail Products - Dec 16 - Dec 22, 2013
Week 4 - Eye & Misc Products - Dec 23 - Dec 29, 2013
Week 5 - Facial Care Products & Tools - Dec 30 - Jan 4, 2014


Week 2 of the Beauty Crown Awards covers Face Products. Below are my Week 2 selections:

FACE
Primer- Benefit The Porefessional and Too Faced Primed & Poreless
I couldn't just choose one primer because to me, these are both the same! I've been using both of the these primers and they both hide my pores, gives my foundation a flawless look and keep my make-up in place! 

BB Cream- Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream
I've been looking high and low for a BB Cream that matched my complexion and so glad I found this one. It matches me perfectly! I use this as an everyday wear for work and on the weekends. It gives me a great coverage and just looks natural.

Foundation- MAC Studio Fix Fluid
This is my go to liquid foundation when I need full coverage. I still need to explore the drugstore foundations but my complexion is uneven and like to try to see if it will be a match. Hopefully I will find one soon but I love this foundation!!

Powder- Makeup Forever Pro-Finish
One of my friends uses this foundation and I decided to give this a try. I love the way it has a nice, flawless, glowing look to my face and it has great coverage. I would love to try the liquid foundation from Makeup Forever soon!

Concealer- MAC Pro Longwear Concealer
I just started wearing concealer a few months and I've tried a few before trying this one from MAC and I fell in love!! This concealer really brightens the area under my eyes and hides my tired, little sleep looking eyes lol. I just love this concealer so much!! 

Brightener- I honestly have no clue what a brightener is lol but I'm welcome to suggestions and what a brightener is!

Blush- MAC Archie's Girl Prom Princess Blush
I've always been scared to try colors other than brown or peaches on my cheeks but this color looks so pretty against my complexion. Its not too bright and clownish looking like I thought it was going to be. I'm happy I stepped out of my comfort zone.

Bronzer- Too Faced Chocolate Soliel Matte Bronzer in Medium/Deep
I've never tried matte bronzer before and this bronzer is amazing. I love the glowy,look it gives and it smells like chocolate!!


Highlighter- MAC Iridescent Loose Powder in Golden Bronze
One of my good friends works at MAC (hence all the MAC products I own lol) and she recommended this a highlight and it is amazing. A little bit of this powder goes a long way and it really gives a great highlight . I mainly use this on the tops of my cheeks.


Palette- I don't own a face pallet but would like to at some point.

    I enjoyed reading your picks Andrea! The Maybelline BB Cream is a favorite of mine too! I was using it all summer and then towards the end of summer, my face started to get really oily and so I stopped using it. I can't wait for spring and early summer to get here so I can wear it again! Your blush and bronzer choices are beautiful too! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! xx

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

On a personal note....Update on Blogging and Personal Goals

Happy Football Sunday!! I hope everyone has been enjoying the weekend and getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving!! I can't believe it is this week! I can't wait to spend time with family! I thought about giving an update to the personal and blogging goals I set for myself last year with the Resolute Beauty Blogger series. You can check out my results post  HERE!!  I completed this in May of this year so let's see how I've been doing since then. Blogging Goals 1. Attend A Blogging Event- Since then I have not attended another event. I was so happy when I did find my one event to attend. I have been keeping in contact with those bloggers I met and reading their blogs. I have been finding events but there are scheduling conflicts. I hope to find another one very soon. 2. Set A Blogging Schedule- I am still sticking to my Sunday, Thursday and every other Friday schedule. It has been really working with my hectic schedule I already have. 3. Change Up Current Style-

Fall Fashion Trends 2017

I keep saying it but I'm going to speak it into existence, I'm going to New York Fashion Week one of these days. It has always been a dream of mine to go and I always miss when it is or have a conflicting schedule but I'm determined to get there. Speaking of fashion, I wanted to share some of my favorites Fall Fashions trends I've seen floating around.  Plaid Image taken from the web I feel like plaid is one of those classic patterns that is always in style. It may not be in the forefront but you always see it. I love plaid, I don't wear it often but I just love how you can dress it up or down, be casual or dressy with it. I would normally wear a plaid button up shirt but would like to venture into different pieces. Sleepwear  When I first saw people doing this, I wasn't a fan but the more I saw different versions, I started to like it. I like this trend when it is done right. I feel like this can be worn on a night out, something you
