November Favorites

This month has been absolutely hectic and I have been crazy busy with the two jobs I started this month but I decided it was time to sit down and write another post for you all. I had forgotten how much I love doing this and need to keep this up. So without further ado, let me share with you all what I have been loving!

Not a lot has stood out to me except these four exceptional and essential items.

 

 

 

 

 

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask:

Absolutely amazing product! I use it around my eyes for my dry skin and it has

helped a lot with my dry skin which is what I wanted it for. I have the

travel size but I mainly use this as an intensive eye cream

so it will last for ages!

 

 

 

Lancôme Hypnose Star Mascara:

I have had this one for a while and just keep

putting it away but it is absolutely amazing

and gives me length, volume and definition. What more

could I ask for? Even the packaging is glamorous.

 

 

 

Michael Kors watch:

I have no idea what model it is, it was a gift a long time ago.

It is absolutely beautiful. It has rhinestones and Mother of Pearl inlay.

Gorgeous.

 

 

 

Becca Matte Skin Shine Proof Foundation in Nude:

Possibly my new holy grail foundation. I am obsessed.

The color matches me to perfection and it keeps my skin matte.

This month I have really been looking for good products and I have found

just that in this foundation. I also love the Primer but only have a sample

at the moment.

 

 

And that you guys are my monthly favorites. Not that many this month but these are all amazing products and I have been enjoying them!

 

 

Let me know what your favorite products are!

A Sort of Weird Obsession...

Sorry I have been M.I.A everyone! I have started working two jobs and have been quite busy but never the less, I am back with another riveting blog post.

I am fortunate enough to be working for Sephora. Yes I absolutely love it and although it is Seasonal/Temporary, I love it nonetheless.

Recently at our Holiday meeting we were all given these amazing Sephora VIB totes that all the VIB's got during their sale and there were some left over so our managers gave each of us a tote.



Let me tell you guys, it is freaken adorable. I love the print but I especially love the shape and size! Most tote bags that company's give out are those weird shaped ones that you take to the grocery store but this tote bag is in the shape of an actual tote bag or a 'Shopper' as some brands call them. Absolutely cute and it carries a good amount of stuff. I especially love it for like papers and binders and everything for my other job. It adds some interesting flare.

I promise to post more regularly and am already drafting my next post.

 

I hope you guys had a lovely Holiday!

Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream Review

While everyone and there mother has heard of BB Creams and has tried one at some point be it from the drugstore or the department store, let's just say that I am one of those crazy ass people.

I bought this BB cream a while ago at the beginning of summer and was so excited after doing my research and looking up reviews, swatches you name it. So when I was finally ready to purchase my very own BB cream, I just had to get the Smashbox one because it sounded amazing and all the reviews were pretty fantastic.

To say the least, I only have one thing that bothers me about it. I hate the color range or I just simply hate the color I have. The product itself is fantastic and I believe everything it says on the bottle is correct. It says it is a 5-in-1 BB Cream that primes, perfects, protects, hydrates and controls oil. The last part is amazing because I have quite oily skin and every other BB cream that has been reviewed has been said to be quite oily and more for dryer skins because of the hydrating qualities. Needless to say, I did not want to try them.

Now, my problem with this particular BB Cream is that it is so orange on my face!! I am of a medium skin tone with yellow undertones, I do not like products that make me look orange because I am not that dark. I have that problem with a lot of foundations actually, it's just something I have to deal with. Either they are too light or too orange.

This particualrt product makes me look very orange which is disapointing because I do not want to look like an oompa loompa!! And when I got it I thought this was the closest match because the shade in Light was way too light and Medium was too dark so I thought, YES! Finally my perfect shade but sadly I was dissapointed.

Every now and then I pull it out of my drawer and think maybe it will work today but I am disapointed each time.

So my final thoughts are:

It's a great product

Good coverage for those days you dont want heavy foundation

Light-weight and non-greasy

Poor color range

Makes me look orange

Great sleek packaging

Let me know if you guys have tried it and what you think or what your favorite light weight foundation, BB Cream or CC Creams are.
