Current Favorites | Beauty + Skin Care


1. Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Quickie Contour Stick 
-Obsessed! This is my first cream contour product.  It's precise and blends like a dream!

2. Morphe Brushes "MB5" 
-This is my favorite brush for blending the hoola contour stick.  Super smooth and flawless finish.

3. Real Techniques Contour Sponge
-This cute little sponge is great for blending the hoola contour stick (although it gives a less noticeable look, because the sponge sucks up a lot of the product) but it's also great for liquid highlighters.

4. Ulta Brand Clear Brow Gel
-My favorite brow gel!  Literally gorilla glue for your brows.  It locks them in place all day & night!  Let's be real, it would probably lock them in for a week but I haven't tried that out... Yet. lol

5. L'Oreal Balm in "Nourishing Nude"
-Such a subtle pretty color & it truly is nourishing.  Definitely a must to keep in your bag.

6. Buxom Plumping Gloss in "White Russian"
-There's no words for this beaut.  Perfect by alone or on top of other lippie products.  I love the cooling tingle feeling it gives.  Can't wait to use it in the Summer.  
I think it'll totally keep you cool in warmer months.

7. Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Serum
-I've been giving this a try for about a month now.  It's a winner in my book!  Half the price of comparable products on the market and it works!  
It's reduced my "11s" and forehead wrinkles and gives a slight plump to the skin. 

8. Anastasia Beverly Hills x Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit
-I am such a die hard fan of Nicole that I completely intended on buying it before I even seen swatches.  Once swatches went live on social media that was it!  
Heart palpitations.  Had to have it!
Such a great purchase!  It's SO pigmented, by far my favorite highlighters to date.  
Personally I think this formula is better than their other glow kits.
It's everything.
Simple.

9. Simply Balanced Unrefined Virgin Coconut Oil
-Coconut Oil..  Enough said.  
This is just my go to brand.  It's affordable and it gets the job done.
I use this for everything!  Skin care, hair care, face, shaving, etc!
Coconut oil is just the answer to any problem you have in life and it's a must to have on hand.




That's all for products I'm currently obsessed with. 
I wanted to keep it as short and simple as possible without going off on too much of a tangent on each product.
I hope you loved it!

As usual if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions feel free to drop them in the comments.

First Impressions | Benefit, Neutrogena, Essence, ABH x Nicole Guerriero, and Gifted Shirts

Hey Y'all!
Today's post is going to be all about some new products I picked up & have been trying.
Some of them I'm sure you've seen on Social Media and some you may not have heard about, but you should have!
So let's jump right in...

1. Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Quickie Contour Stick:  
1 word.  Obsessed.  I've never really dabbled with cream Contour products but this little magic stick (is that what she said?) makes life so beautiful and easy.  
I really want to say this is easier to work with than most powders I've tried.  The consistency is so buttery it glides on and is precise.  
I think it blends out better with a brush, with a beauty sponge I just feel like the sponge steals too much of the product off your face and it isn't as noticeable.  
This is just a must even for a beginner.  Super easy.
As far as I know it's an Ulta exclusive. No word if it's limited edition or not so grab it up like yesterday.


2. Anastasia Beverly Hills x Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit:  
You guys!  Oh. My. God.
This glow kit sent me into cardiac arrest.  It's just pure beauty. I have no words.  
Nicole & the Anastasia brand definitely outdid themselves!  
These shades are so smooth and universal!  The pigmentation is more satisfying than sex.  
It's just amazing.  Buy it.  Without it you'll never know your full potential. 


3. Essence Clear Brow Gel: 
I picked this up on my last unnecessary trip to Ulta.  For $2.99, why not?  
I've heard great things about the Essence brand and this is the first thing I've tried from them.  I like it, but I will say I'm more a fan of my clear brow Gel from the Ulta collection.  
The Ulta brand gel is just like Gorilla Glue for your brows while this 1 is a bit more tame.  
It's definitely a great alternative though and the price point is awesome.


4. Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Serum:
So I bought this because I make entirely too many uncontrollable facial expressions. *eyeroll
I must say I'm really loving it so far!  
I have the 11s (little wrinkles between my brows), and a few forehead wrinkles- because instead of resting bitch face I have resting angry face. 
I've been applying it to freshly cleansed skin before moisturizer and using it once daily for about 4 days now in the areas I need help.  
I can already tell a noticeable difference! Like.. What?!  
It has a slight warming feeling and definitely makes the area it's applied to feel a bit tighter.
I decided to give it a try because it has great reviews.  This is definitely a more affordable option compared to some other products I've looked into for wrinkle repair and I think it works great!

5. Gifted Shirts (Sloth Shirts on Etsy):
You guys!  I am obsessed with this company. 
I love tees with funny/ sarcastic sayings, and these are my new go to!
I have a couple shirts from them now and they're super soft and comfy.
  They literally have something for everyone- any and everything you can imagine!
Their shirts are just freakin awesome you guys!
I'll insert a link to their website below.  I wear a size Small for reference.
Their Etsy Storefront- click here



I really don't have anything negative to say about any of these. Lol
I've been super lucky lately that majority of the things I've picked up I LOVE.
I'll keep this post updated if anything changes, but so far they're all wins in my book.

I hope you enjoyed this post.
Feel free to leave any questions, comments, or suggestions in the comments below- per usual.
