December Ipsy Bag

Here is the December Ipsy Bag I received! Seriously $10 a month for a makeup bag with 4-5 beauty products you can't beat! Go sign up! It's like Christmas every month! 

This months little black back! Cute diamond embossed bag!

I received the following in my bag:

Julie G's textured nail polish in Sugar Plum Fairy. I think I'll really like this polish! Purple is my favorite color!

POP beauty Eye Shadow Trio in Smokin' Hot. Cute little trip, but wouldn't have Ben my choice of colors. The white does make a good highlight shade though. 

At dell Natural Lashes in 120- Demi. I've heard great things about these lashes & can't wait to try them out! 

Be a Bombshell The One Stick in Sunset. It's a blush but could easily be used as lip stick or eyeshadow as well.  Never used anything like this so I'm excited to try it. The color is a deep coral, looks really pretty. 

Lastly, NYX lipstick in LSS638 Sunflower. I've tried their lipsticks before and love them. Cannot wait to try this color!

Here are swatches of the lip stick, one stick, and eye shadows. 

Thanks for reading!

Get your feet Winter ready!

Hi lovelies!

The past few years I have suffered from the worst dry skin on my heels. I've tried everything from foot scrubs, to pumice stones, even the Listerine Pinterest pin. You name it ,I've tried it. Nothing's worked until now! I stumbles across this product at my local Walmart a few weeks ago. I try and remember to use it every night, but that doesn't always happen. This has made my heels so much more hydrated! It has a wonderful cooling feeling from the peppermint in it! I figured this would be a great product to feature since the colder weather is amongst us!

It is the Earth Therapeutics Intensive Heel Repair. It was only $4.97!! 

Thanks for reading!

Friday's Fabulous Finds

Hi there!

Back with another Friday's Fabulous Finds. The products I'm going to mention today are things I've had for a while and have been finding myself reaching for them a lot lately! 

First product is the Rimmel Natural Bronzer in 021 Sun Light. I use this to contour and warm up my face! As you can see I've hit pan so I must love it, huh?

Next is a Maybelline Eyeshadow Quad in 40Q Designer Chocolates. It has the perfect colors for fall; a cranberry color and chocolate brown! Not to mention a great cream highlight shade! 

Next is another great eyeshadow. It's Wet N Wild's single eyeshadow in C251A Brûlée. Another perfect matte highlight shade and blending shade. 

Next is a new product I've been using for a few weeks now and I love the natural look it gives my eyebrows. Milani Easy Brow in Dark Brown. I was hesitant at first since it is a pencil but just use a light hand and you'll be good to go! Not to mention it has a decent brow comb on the opposite end! 

Last but not least is Smashbox Limitless Eye Liner in Onyx. It is such a creamy eyeliner and it glides right on and stays on all day. Everything you look for in a great black liner!

Thank you for reading and Happy Friday!!

XOXO,

How to Clean Your Hair Brushes

Hi lovelies!

You're probably thinking clean your hair brush? Yes. Your hair brushes are usually used on clean hair so why would you want to use a dirty brush on it, right?

All you're gonna need is:

Apple Cider Vinegar 

Baking Soda

Old Toothbrush

Hair brushes

First you will want to get all the hair out of the brushes. You can use a comb to comb out the hair in your brush to get all the hard to reach hairs!

Then fill a bowl or sink with pretty warm water. Add in baking soda and vinegar. Amounts will depend on how big of a bowl/sink you are using.  

Then let your brushes soak in the bowl/sink for a few minutes. Next you're going to take your old toothbrush and scrub your brushes. You will be amazed at how much build up comes off of them.

Here's a before & after. (Kind of hard to tell since the vinegar tints the water)

Before:

After:

Once you're done with all your brushes, rinse them, and lay paddle facing down on a towel!

Happy Hair brush cleaning!! 

XOXO
