Mahogany Smoke | Get The Look

Hey Ya'll!!  

So today I'm doing a post on this eye look. (Obvi lol)

I kind of just threw it together by mistake and ended up loving it so I wanted to share! :)

All of the other face products I used will be listed below, but since this post is focusing on the eyes that info is what will be most detailed. 

I mostly used the Morphe 35o palette for this look, so starting with that...

1. Mixing some of 1 & 2 on a fluffy blending brush, apply that into your crease & upward in windshield wiper motions until completely blended.  

2. Mix 3 & 4 on a pointed crease brush and apply into your crease, further defining it.  Starting in the center of your crease and going outward to the corner of your eye.  Pick up more product on your brush as needed and then blend from center in towards your inner corner. 

*Be sure to leave the very center of your lid clean for a different shadow you'll apply later.

* Do this as much as needed to darken it to your desired shade.

3. Take a clean, soft blending brush and blend out all of the edges of the shadow you just applied in your crease.

4. With a liner brush- take a mix of 4 & 5 and apply it to your lower lash line, and then smudge it out.

5. Apply L'Oreal "Iced Latte" in the center of your lid with a soft shader brush. 

6. Take the shade "Summer" from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Sun Dipped Glow Kit and apply it on top of "Iced Latte" for an extra POP!

(This palette is seriously so GORG!! If you don't have it you need to get it like last week.)

7. Then also apply "Summer" to your brow bone & inner corner. 

(After I apply my brow highlight I always go back and blend the line between where my crease color ends & my brow bone highlight begin.)

8. Apply your mascara and you're done! 

 (I used L'Oreal Carbon Black & Maybelline Push-Up Drama)

Other Face Products Used:

-Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

-Garnier BB Cream for Oily to Combo Skin

-Clinique Stay-Matte Foundation

-Garnier Anti Dark Circle Eye Roller

-Maybelline Dream Lumi Highlighting Concealer

-Maybelline Master Fix Loose Powder to set my t-zone

-NYX Retractable Eyeliner in "White"

-Benefit Cheekathon Palette "Hoola" to contour, and "Coralista" blush with "Rockateur" on top.

-Anastasia Beverly Hills Sun Dipped Glow Kit "Summer" & "Moonstone" for my cheekbone hilight

-Rimmel London "Eastend Snob" Lip Liner

-NYX Liquid Lingerie Liquid Lipstick in "Lace Detail"

I hope y'all liked this post!  

Let me know in the comments anything else you'd like to see in future posts.

Summer Beauty Must-Haves ☀️

Hey ya'll!

Today I'm sharing all of my must-have beauty/makeup items for this

ridiculously humid Summer we're having.

With my combo to oily skin, in humidity, I'm an instant grease ball so I'm always trying to combat the oil in the Summer months!

My first absolute NEED is a true to it's word, matte foundation.

For me, that's Clinique Stay-Matte.

I'm usually more of a BB cream person, but I'm just so impressed by

the mattifying power of this foundation.

The consistency of it is pretty thick and difficult to apply with a beauty blender, so I usually mix a little of my Garnier BB Cream into it so that it's easier to work with.

This foundation keeps me pretty matte ALL day even out in the humidity.

CLICK HERE to shop this item

(Mine is in the shade Sand)

Next is my favorite setting powder & the same powder I use throughout the day for touch-ups. 

The Neutrogena Shine Control powder is amazing!

It says it has rice protein, and while I'm not totally sure what that is, I think it must work wonders.

By far the best powder I've tried for controlling oil.

CLICK HERE to shop this item

One of my all-time favorite, year round, eye shadows is L'Oreal Infallible in Iced Latte.  

I use this all year round, but it's particularly gorgeous in the Summer with a tan!

It's also a near perfect dupe for Stila Kitten. ;-)

CLICK HERE to shop this item

With all of Maybelline's new product releases, the Color Tattoo Chrome eye shadows have quickly become a favorite.

My go-to shade is Beige Luster.

The staying powder of this eye shadow is AMAZING..  Even when you're ready to take it off, it's not ready.  Lol

I apply this with the wand, super easy. 

It dries almost immediately, and lasts ALL day & probably night too.

I don't keep this in my purse because knowing me, I'd mistakingly apply it as lipgloss.  LOL

CLICK HERE to shop this item

It's my opinion that everyone needs a HiLight that beams into the heavens on a daily basis, but especially during the Summer months!

I recently discovered the Revolution brand in Ulta and am utterly obsessed with their Vivid Baked Highlighter in Golden Lights.

I have used it every time I do my makeup since I bought it.

It's gorgeous alone or on top of 1 or 2 other highlighters.

Lol.

CLICK HERE to shop this item

My go to lipstick lately was something I originally had mixed feelings about.

NYX Liquid Lipstick in Lace Detail.

I bought this in the winter and just wasn't really feeling it with my pale skin, but now that I am more tan, I think it's the perfect summer nude for me.

Definitely a great product if you don't want to worry about touch-ups.

 CLICK HERE to shop this item

A favorite for a good all-over body glow is Hawaiian Tropic After Sun lotion with Shimmer Effect.

I've been using this for years and it never disappoints. 

It smells great and doesn't leave any color transfer on clothing.

CLICK HERE

(I can't find this specific one, but I linked a similar item.)

A new, happy discovery this year has been this amazing product from Million Dollar Tan.

Their "All That Shimmers" dry oil is AHHHMAZING.

Literally life changing.

It isn't a "fake tan", but a temporary bronzer that'll wash off when you shower.

I love applying this to my legs.  I mix it with my lotion so that it isn't too over-powering since it is fairly dark.

My Sun-Tanning Routine + How I Stay Hydrated in the Heat

Hey Y'all!  

Today I wanted to share my tips & tricks to getting that perfect Summer time tan as well as how I stay cool & hydrated while out in the heat. 

It's important to take care of your skin & stay hydrated especially when you're tanning as the sun dries your skin out.

My Sun-Tanning Routine:

The most important part of my routine is exfoliating and moisturizing!  Moisturized skin ALWAYS tans/ holds tan better than dry skin.  I dry brush every other day (minimum), I use my go-to sugar scrub in the shower at least once a week, and I moisturize daily after showering with either raw organic coconut oil or Vaseline cocoa radiant lotion (sometimes both LOL).

When I am laying out, I always apply at least a 30 SPF to my face & neck to help protect my skin and face.  

My favorite tanning oil for sun-tanning is the Australian Gold Bronzing Dry Oil Intensifier!

This oil doesn't leave you greasy, and it has instant bronzer in it for immediate color.

While I'm laying out, I also like to fill a spray bottle up with pool water and continuously spray myself down.  It helps you stay cool, and the chlorine in the water helps you tan.

Staying Hydrated:

When being out in the heat it's super important to stay good and hydrated to avoid getting over heated or dehydrated.

My favorite way to keep cool & hydrated is infused water 

I'm addicted!

I keep an infuser pitcher full of water in my fridge (got mine at Bed, Bath, and Beyond).

I like to fill the infuser with lemon, cucumber, and mint.

When I am getting ready for the pool, I fill my cup up with ice & water and throw in a few extra wedges of lemon in.

Easy Peasy!

My favorite cup to use is from Starbucks, because it's my favorite color (obvi) and because the metal lining & straw keep my drink cold for longer than similar cups I own.

Not only does infused water taste yummy, but it also has some pretty cool benefits for you!!

It can help bloating, digestion, detox your body, and help your skin depending on what you choose to infuse your water with.

:-)

I think that about wraps this post up.

I hope you guys enjoy.

Have a hot and bronze Summer!!

Coconut Oil: Worth The Hype?

So I'm sure by now we've all seen the ever so talked about Coconut Oil trend.  

After seeing it mentioned on various social media outlets and hearing people rave about what a miracle product it is, I was convinced I needed to try it.

I researched the type you want to get for multi-purpose uses (Organic & Unrefined) and headed to Target! 

I bought the Simply Balanced Organic Unrefined Virgin Coconut Oil, I'll link it below.

Click HERE -$6.99

Simply Balanced is a Target brand and I don't believe can be found anywhere else.

So now that I am finished with my first jar and have repurchased another I feel I'm experienced enough to share my opinion.  Basically, I'm obsessed.

This stuff is AMAZING! 

Everyone needs it in their house, bathroom, bedroom, EVERYWHERE!

It's a solid, but melts at 75 degrees and/or with your body temp.

There's a faint smell, it reminds me of an Almond Joy candy bar, but after a while you don't even notice it.

A few of my favorite ways to use it...  Moisturizer!  It absorbs after a bit and doesn't leave you greasy like most oils would.  I've also used it to relieve a sunburn recently and it helped a ton! 

It's also said to help cellulite.

I tend to get texture under my eyes and when wearing makeup, my concealer clings to it for dear life, but not anymore!  I either apply some before bed, or a tiny tiny bit under my eyes after moisturizing but prior to applying makeup.  Seriously works wonders!

I have swapped this for my Bio Oil (which I have loved for years).  I apply it to my bikini area to soothe the skin after shaving, keep the area moisturized, and to prevent ingrown hairs.

It works just as well as Bio Oil, but better in my opinion and it's organic!  So it's more save to apply to those "delicate" areas.

I apply this to my lips when they're dry or cracked and it heals them up almost immediately.

I also use a little bit on my face from time to time to treat dry patches, and even a dry itchy nose from allergies.  I have combo to oily skin that tends to be very sensitive to new products ESPECIALLY oily ones, but this doesn't bother me AT ALL.  Maybe because it's organic??

I also briefly tried "oil pulling" which is the process of swishing this stuff around in your mouth for about 20 minutes; however, it gave me a migraine, which is common.  

Coconut Oil combined with Dry Brushing (my other newest obsession) are total game changers in my opinion!

(If you'd like a blog on Dry Brushing, let me know!)

Other Suggested Ways To Use Coconut Oil:

-Cooking (replaces unhealthy fats and is a more natural cooking oil)

-Shaving/ Shaving Cream

-Sexual Lubricant (reduces chances of UTIs and various issues caused by regular lubricants due to it being completely organic.)

-Hair Treatment

-Eat 1-2 tablespoon a day to improve digestion, balance hormones, balance blood sugar, improves energy, burns fat, and helps lower cholesterol.

-Coffee Creamer/ Sweetener

Overall, I say Coconut Oil is a must in every household!

There's so many uses and benefits of this stuff.

Why waste money on so many products when you can wipe them all out with 1?!?!

It doesn't get any better than that, guys!

If you want more information, checkout this awesome article I found,

77 Coconut Oil Uses and Cures.

This post ended up being a bit longer than I originally intended, but it's because I am just utterly obsessed and wanted to share all of the awesomeness!!! 

Lol

Hope y'all enjoyed!

My Go-To Spring & Summer Nail Polishes💅🏽

Hey Y'all!!

So with Summer quickly approaching, today I'm going to be sharing my favorite nail polishes for Spring & Summer months.

For polish, staying power is #1 for me and #2 is a good color POP.

I always apply 2 coats of whichever shade I am using to ensure the color is strong and not streaky.

I love mints, corals, and peaches for Summer.

For me, they just scream Summer Time and look fab with a tan!

I'm pretty much addicted to buying nail polishes, I pick up at least 1 every time I go shopping, so I wanted to share my all time faves for Summer!

:-)

(All products mentioned will be listed below)

^Without Flash

^Without Flash

^With Flash

(Left to Right- Wet N Wild "I need a RefreshMINT", Essie "Mint Candy Apple", Julie G "Bikini", Salon Perfect "Tickled Pink", Salon Perfect "Georgia Peach", Sally Hansen "Big Shiny Top Coat".

The Wet N Wild polish is one of my holy grails!  I own multiple polishes from this line and they all are super pigmented, apply easily & even, and last at least a week and a half without chipping.

(Price: Approx $3)

Essie MCA is a gorgeous shade.  Essie polishes aren't the best quality in my opinion especially for the price, but some of their shades are just irresistible, like this one!

(Price: Approx $9)

This Julie G polish is a beautiful neon coral shade with an adorable name, but sadly it chips VERY easily.  For the price point, it's lasting power isn't a huge disappointment and I can deal with it.

(Price: Approx $2)

Salon Perfect makes some super cute shades and lots of neons for Summer.  Tickled Pink is an everyday bright pink shade.

Georgia Peach is a new one I just picked up.  It's interesting because it appears different depending on lighting, but ultimately is a pretty & light neon peach shade.  SP polishes are a lacquer, which in my opinion, are stronger than a typical polish and are twice as hard to remove.

(Price: Approx $4)

I wanted to mention the SH Big Shiny Top Coat because it's my go-to top coat whenever applying polish.  It makes any color just really POP & shine while also speeding up the drying time.

(Price: Approx $4)

^With Flash

(Left To Right: SH Miracle Gel "Bare Dare", SH Miracle Gel "TopCoat", SH Miracle Gel "Get Mod", SH Miracle Gel "Tidal Blue".

I separated these 4 from the others because they're all the same brand.  I enjoy the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polishes and have quite a few of them.  Tidal Blue is probably my all time favorite from this line because it's the prettiest cobalt blue I've ever laid my eyes on.  These polishes last pretty well and apply great.  For the price, I think they're a good quality polish and live up to the hype.  Without the miracle gel top coat, I have found that they chip much easier and don't last as long compared to when applied with the suggested top coat.

(Price: Approx $8)

Well...

That pretty much wraps up this post.

I hope you guys enjoyed!!

As always, please feel free to drop any questions/ suggestions in the comments or in a private message (located in the NAV bar).

If you decide to try out any of these polishes, send me pics!

Also, let me know if y'all would like to see a polish organization post!
