Beauty | Monthly Favorites | September

That time of the month has arrived again! I haven't been posting my monthly faves for the past two months, but I have a legit reason for that. I didn't want to put up a monthly faves that would have been a repeat of the previous month. I have been sticking to the same routine for the last few months, it was difficult to pull new monthly favorites out. So I postponed the monthly faves until I got the nerve to try something different. 

September was that month I went into my make up collection and pulled out different products that I had sitting there. Let's get into what I loved in the month of September.

Beauty | L'oreal Ideal Moisture Review/First Impression

The long awaited moisturizer review has arrived! I picked this up at my local grocery store when I was just browsing the make-up/skin care isle. It caught my eye for numerous reasons, one its a new product (new at least to myself), two it claims to have hydration power lasting for 48 hours, three it has SPF. 

I have been looking for a drugstore moisturizer for a long time that can handle my patchy dry spots but not make me look like a disco ball. ;) 

Beauty | Montly Favorites | June

Its that time of the month again ladies! Its time for me to share my favorites for the month of June. As you will see, there are a couple of items that made it on the list for the 2nd time and quite a few new ones to add. Keep reading to find out more about why I love each of these products! 

Bath & Body Works Haul

 

Last weekend I decided to stop by Bath and Body Works because I was running low on hand soap. Boy, am I glad I did, they were having one of their semi-annual sales! If you aren't familiar with Bath and Body Works and their semi-annual sales, let me explain a little. :) Basically Bath and Body Works sells smelly good items for your home and body. They sell candles, body wash, hand soap, lotions, hand sanitizers, etc. and can range anywhere from $1.75 to $22. Now the semi-annual sales happens twice a year, mainly after major season transitions. So in the sale all items that were from last season that have been lingering around are 50-75 % off, plus they have sales on the other items! How can you pass that up!  Well once I walked in and saw the sale, I went crazy and bought up some stuff, let's just say my husband and I will have enough hand soap to last a while, considering we still haven't used up all the hand soap I had in back stock! Haha :) 

 

Beauty | Monthly Favorites | May

Alright ladies, its that time of the month again! No, not the dreaded (for some of us, thankful, but can go away) time of the month. hehe ;) It's the monthly favorites time of the month! 

For this month, I didn't have too many new items and a couple of items didn't change either. For most of the month, I stayed pretty neutral and didn't have many days where I used a lot of make up, so this list of makeup favorites is going to be pretty small. 

Beauty | Simple EOTD

#EOTD | Eyes of the Day 

Trust me when I say this is beyond simple. If you read my Liebster Award post (if not, click here), you would remeber the question asked if I prefer eyeliner or mascara. I answered the question basically stating that I prefer mascara over eyeliner. My everyday eye look is long natural lashes with mascara and that is it.

 

Some days, like today, I feel like adding a little pazazz (if that is even how you spell that word). I do that by adding a winged liner. Okay nothing fancy, nothing too crazy, but I love it for work and it is still keeping it simple.

 

 Products Used:

• My two holy grail mascaras combined (Click Here for detailed post)
• Maybelline Line Stilletto Liquid Liner in Blackest Black
• Too faced Perfect Eyes Eyeliner in Perfect Black
• Lorac Pro Palette| Tan Eyeshadow (substitute for any flesh tone e/s)

 

Those four (technically five) products are all I use. I simply use the Tan e/s from the Lorac Pro Palette and sweep that all over the lid. This creates an even canvas and covers any discoloration. Then I take the Too Faced eyeliner and tightline my upper lashline. I also take this above the lashes to create a (not perfect) line to use as a guideline for my liquid liner. Lets be honest, I am not perfect at making winged liner and using the pencil liner first makes it easier to create. Then, you guessed it, I use the Maybelline liquid liner and create that wing/cat-eye. I usually follow the line I created with the pencil liner and towards the end create that wing. After that, I simply do my mascara combo. That is it. Not too much to it, but it makes it look like you took some time to do your make up.

 

Let me know what you guys think, & if you would like to see more EOTD posts. Also, share your EOTDs with me! :)

 

Until Next Time,

Avie T. 



 

Beauty | April Faves 2014

April has come and gone, in what feels like such little time, & then comes May. Since April has officially said it's good bye for the year, I thought I would start sharing my monthly favorites. This month mainly consists of all things beauty, but I do not plan to limit it to beauty products. With all that said let's get into my April favorites. :) 

Beauty | My Holy Grail Mascara Combo

So recently I was nominated for the Liebster Award (Click Here For More Info) and one of the questions I answered was asking whether I prefer mascara or eyeliner. Of course I chose mascara, it is a must have, and if I don't wear anything else, I have mascara on. So it sparked the idea for me to share my holy grail mascara products with you all. :)
