Curlipops 1 1/4" Ceramic Curling Wand | Review

Hey Hey Everybody!!

So recently I had to bite the bullet and get a new curling 
wand with a bigger barrel since my hair is longer now and I don't
 always have an hour + to invest in curling my hair. 

I browsed the Ulta website a bit, read some reviews, and decided

this was the 1 for me...

I've used it a few times so far and figured I'd share my thoughts

with ya'll.

This is the Bed Head Curlipops 1 1/4" Curling Wand

it retails for $29.99 and can be found HERE

So... What do I think??

Well, at first glance once I got home with it I

was a little annoyed when I discovered it doesn't have

a temperature control.  My own mistake for not

inspecting it better...  Still annoying though.

It claims to heat up to 400 degrees- I'm curious how long

you have to let it marinate in order for it to reach that temp 
because it definitely doesn't seem as hot as my Conair wand

that I usually use on 400... So.. There's that.

Obviously the curls are much looser with this; 

which I don't mind and did expect.

But I also have found that the curls don't last all day

where as with my other wand they'll last DAYS. 

Yes, days, plural... Dry shampoo is my bff.

So.  My thoughts?  I don't hate it.
I kind of wish I had just gotten the 1" though since my hair
isn't extremely long.  I am curious why the curl falls out so fast though.
Not sure if it's to do with the iron itself or the size.
I really like the style and look it gives once I've done
my whole head.  

Overall- I guess I'll keep it.  I like the curl/ wave style it 
gives I just wish it would last better.
While I still love my smaller Conair wand I would totally recommend
this 1 by Bed Head to someone who wants to curl quickly and run.
I think the loose wave look is super cute and "in" right now.

My Results 👇🏼

Hope this helps any of y'all in the market for a big wand! (HA)

High End Makeup | Is It Worth It?

Hey Hey Everybody!  
Hope you're all having a fabulous & frisky Friday!

I get a lot of messages on social media & even asked in
person about my makeup.

A lot of people assume I am using extremely expensive products 
to achieve "glam" looks or even my everyday look.

So I am here ladies and gents to give you all the run down and break

the glorious news that majority of my favorite items are drugstore

goodies that are super affordable.

You can find said items featured in a lot of my previous posts- 

which I will link here 👇🏼

Drugstore Favorites

Flawless Face Products

Quick + Easy Everyday Makeup Routine

So what are the items I will splurge on???

I am here to tell ya'll!

While I love makeup- there's a limited group of items that
I will splurge on.  

$30 mascaras are not a part of my journey.

Neither are $30+ lipsticks.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying some of these items
aren't great I just feel you generally get the same result and there's 
more affordable options for these products. 

Things I will splurge on: 
eyeshadows, blush,
highlighters, facial sprays,

contour powders/ creams, skin care,
and a limited amount of

lip products. 

The reason I will splurge on these items is simply because

I don't think any drugstore brands have items in these categories

that compare to the quality of their higher end counterparts.

 Simple as that! 

Now... For the good stuff!

Have I built up enough anticipation?? LOL 😂

-Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel 
-Click HERE to Shop-

I love this because it helps control my oil 
in the summer months

and is great under makeup.

-Urban Decay B6 Facial Spray -Click HERE to Shop-

I love this for plumping & prepping 
my skin before makeup.

-Mac Studio Fix+ -Click HERE to Shop-

I mainly use this on my brushes 
before applying a shimmer shadow

or highlight.  It really makes them POP!

-Clinique Stay Matte Foundation -Click HERE to Shop-

I mix this in with my Garnier BB cream
in the summer months to

control my grease ball skin. 
AMAZING for controlling shine.

-Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Bronzer -Click HERE to Shop-

UGH. Just amazing.  
Such a gorgeous bronzer. 
No words. Buy it.

-NARS "Orgasm" Blush (to die for) -Click HERE to Shop-

Gorgeous buildable shade with a sheen 
that gives you a glow from within look.
A summer time fave.

-Benefit Cosmetics "Cheekathon" Palette 
(the 1 I have was limited edition😩)

*Similar linked here... -Click HERE to Shop-

I prefer their cheek palettes because 
they are FULL SIZE pans that you

would get buying them individually
 but for major BANG for your buck$

-Benefit Cosmetics "Hoola" Quickie Contour Stick
 -Click HERE to Shop-

I really enjoy this.  
It's actually my only cream contour product.

Unfortunately there's only 1 shade
but it works year round for me.

-Anastasia Beverly Hils x Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit 
(limited edition 😩)

Seriously GORG.  
Plus I love Nicole so I had to support. 
It's tragically not 

available right now but I have seen it sporadically 
come back so keep your eyes peeled.

-Anastasia Beverly Hills "Sun Dipped" Glow Kit 
-Click HERE to Shop-

Super gorgeous too!  
4 shades compared to Nicole's 6 but larger pans.

-NARS "Wanted" Eyeshadow Palette -Click HERE to Shop-

Seriously ya'll.  Go get it now.  
Possibly the most buttery & pigmented eyeshadows

that I have ever encountered.  
Worth the money!!!

-Urban Decay "Naked 1" Palette 
(specifically the NAKED & BUCK shades)

-Click HERE to Shop-

My first high-end product/ palette.  
Forever a love of mine with very pretty shades.

I've hit pan on "buck" & "naked" they are just the most 
perfect transition shades.

-Stila "Kitten" Eyeshadow -Click HERE to Shop-

Oh me oh my! SO pretty & smooth.  
Amazing as eyeshadow, highlight 
or to bathe in.  Whatever.  Lol

-Buxom "White Russian" Lip Polish -Click HERE to Shop-

Possibly 1 of the only high-end lip products 
I'd repurchase over and over.

I love the intense tingle/ chilly feeling.  
Strangely it can soothe my anxiety

(I think it's the pepperminty smell) and will even help 
cool you off in warmer climates. 

Or I could be hallucinating all of those things to justify my
 love for this product..  
I feel confident that the above is true though. 

And that's all folks!

I hope this answered some of your burning questions

or helps assist you in deciding what to spend your hard earned money on!

As always feel free to drop me any questions or suggestions for 

future posts.

The Dream Team | How I Achieve Flawless Skin in the Winter

Hey Ya'll!  Happy New Year!!

So I'm sure with all of this crazy weather I'm not the only one who's skin

is freaking out.  

Sooo with smooth skin in mind- I wanted to share my secret to

getting my makeup to look flawless during the winter months when I'm dry

as the Sahara.  

Not today Satan, not today.

First things first- all products will be listed below and the

names are clickable links to said product.  😉

The first thing I do before applying any makeup is put on a generous amount of

my facial moisturizer, Garnier Gel Cream, and I let that soak into my skin

really good before moving onto anything else. 

I also like to fan my face after applying this because it makes my skin feel

really cold, and I like it.  I'm weird like that.

Next up I put 2 drops of the Palmer's Face Oil on my 

Real Techniques Foundation Brush then I apply that to my face.

Starting at my nose, chin, forehead, and under-eyes (my driest spots) 

then working it outward onto the rest of my face.  

Again, give that time to absorb and sink in good.

Once I've done those steps I squeeze about a quarter size amount of

my Garnier BB Cream onto my Real Techniques Sponge and then dab

it all over my face (forehead, cheeks, chin, nose) then slowly pat it into

my skin and all over my face.  

No- I don't experience any issues with it breaking up or looking funky.

I do set my t-zone with a pressed powder (Neutrogena is my fave) and it

works like a charm!

If I didn't do this my makeup would cling and have so much texture.  Gross

I hope this helps any of you struggling with the winter dryness.
