My Daily Shower Routine

These are a few things that I absolutely love and use on a daily bases. I am a total sucker for Aveeno products and they just don't fail me. I have used many shampoos and conditioners but for the size and price I really do enjoy Tresseme and the line I am currently using by them is the Anti-breakage one which I think is pretty great. I was a blonde about maybe a year ago and decided that I need to dye my hair back to a dark color which I am so happy I did. I rarely change what I like a whole lot in the shower the older I have gotten I have stopped buying body washes at VS, BBW, etc I been over whelmed by the smells if anyone knows what I mean. Well I just wanted to share a small look enjoy what I use daily in my shower. If anyone has questions or comments leave them below. Enjoy your friday and stay positive no matter what!

Yes...Monistat Chafing Powder Gel as a Facial Primer

This is something I have known about for almost two years. I had heard about but never really paid too much mind. I was just testing a few primers I had and wasn't really liking them as much as I thought I had anymore. I was having issues with dryness on my face so I changed my facial cleanser but my foundation was not going on as smooth. So I got on Google which by the way is my favorite search engine and Monistat popped up and I thought what the hell it's less then $7.00 bucks. Let me tell you that those were the best 7.00 bucks I have ever spent. I applied it and thought there is no way this is going to work and OMG my face was Matte the whole night.

Monistat is made from Dimethicone which has 3 great benefits:

• It locks in your moisturizer under your makeup to keep your skin moisturized.
• The dimethicone does not let the oils from your skin from breaking through to your foundation.
•  Dimethicone stops oil from getting out and your foundation won't getting in. This means that your skin will not absorb your makeup, so your makeup looks great all day, even on hot summer days. 

This is truly a un-talked about product in the beauty community. I say give it a try if you like a Matte face. Everyone will have their own opinion, this is only my opinion and experience with this product. 

Party Night

Hi My Loves...I wanted to share a recent picture of myself with you guys and share the look and just brake it down for those that might be interested.

Hair: I curled it with my Cortex 4 in 1 clipless curling iron (best thing ever)

Outfit: black dress from Forever21, Madden Girl pumps in velvet black, Micheal Kors wrislet, earrings are from Forever21 a very long time ago, gold bracelets and my Express tan jacket

Makeup: I went with simple makeup I didn't want to over do my face.
I used monistat chaffing powder gel as a primer...if you haven't it's AMAZING!!!, True Match foundation in W5,   Rimmel translucent matte powder, Physicians Formula bronzer in light/medium, on my cheeks I used elf studio bronzer blush combo & elf fushsa fusion blush , for my lips I used maybellinelipstick in a mauve color with mac posh it up on top, on my eyes I used Retrospeck by Mac and winged my eyes with Physicians Formula liquid eyeliner in black.

Sorry for the brief description it was a few days ago and I was trying to remember what I used. I hope you guys liked it and if so leave me your comments and questions below and I might consider doing more of face of the night or face of the day and maybe outfits.

Thanks for reading my blog,

Aveeno Creamy Oil

Hi Everyone...Once again I want to thank you guys for stopping by I love reading the feed back and experience with the products I post.

Aveeno Creamy Moisturizing Oil: 
My journey begins with trying to find a body lotion that wasn't to heavy in scent the older I have gotten. I have noticed that I don't like strong have scented smells like I use too. So I went to Target to purchase a facial was which is another winter journey which I will be posting about also. Well  I was looking threw the aisle and shelves and remembered that my best friend mentioned Aveeno body products to me and I have only really used 3 of there facial products before and really enjoyed that experience. So I am looking at the Aveeno lotion's and saw this it say oil on it all I could think about was a greased up chicken or me looking like I was going to go into a pan...lol Then I proceed to read some more and see that it is non-greasy so I went for it and I am totally in love with this product for the winter. My body normally gets really dry in the winter and itchy which is uncomfortable. I had been using bath and body lotions or VS body butters which I still love but I felt like I needed something more moisturizing. They also had other types of lotions that can suit you.

Aveeno Status:

•  Helps to leave a protective barrier 
• Which prevents water loss to help maintain moisture all day long 
• The AVEENO oatmeal formulas are also known to soothe and moisturize itchy, extra dry skin

Mabelline Master Precise by Eye Studio

Black Eyeliner

Maybelline-Eye Studio Master Precise Eyeliner: If you want to line your eyes with a dollar store marker you have just found your match!!! This Maybelline product is one of their worst. I dislike this product not only is the black not intense but the tip of the eyeliner sucks. I gave this product a total1 out of 5. I brought it at Walgreens for $7.99 not on sale (Silly me). I will try to use it again, but I think I am truly better off using my other eyeliners then this. I might just use it for my son's projects...lol

Maybelline States:

•  Exclusive felt tip. Never dries.
•  Never skips. 
• Ultra-thin 0.4mm brush supplies smooth, even lines.  
• No mess or excess.

Base and Top Coat

These are my current base and top coat. I was searching for a while for a great base coat and came across Orly rubberized base coat and I have to say that it's been one of the best base coats I have tried. The top coat I normally use is the 3 in 1 by Sally Hasen. I have used the top coat forever but I got bored and decided to venture out. So I purchased Borghese quick drying top coat. It was ten bucks and it does the job but nothing special. I want to try another quick drying top coat. Any suggestions? Leave me a comment below.

Urban Decay Primers

Left to Right: Greed, Original, and Sin

These are the Urban Decay Primers I own and use on a regular bases. A few years back I had no idea what were primers and what it was used for and when people were raving about it I really didn't fall right into the trend, should we say I didn't run to Sephora or Ulta and going to buy these primers. I was curious to see if concealer would do the trick and boy was I wrong. I received one as a X-mas present from a friend and the rest was history!!! I think that these are really are great they make your eyeshadow last longer and definitely not crease. I want to purchase the matte one very single time I go to Sephora it is sold out. I normally use them as they are meant for but Greed and Sin I can put them on if I am in a rush in the morning or going to do something where my making up needs to be quick and effortless. I have yet to try another brand besides Mac's painterly paint pot which is okay but I think it's a bit over hyped and over rated. That is only my opinion and everyone will feel different about it.

Thanks again for reading my post and please feel free to leave a comment or suggestions below and tell me your experience with the UD Primers.

I Am Going To Attempt To Cut My Own Hair!

Conair Barber Shears

 

I am going to make the attempt to cut my own hair. I saw a few videos on YouTube that peaked my interest and I wanted to see if I can really do it. I am very picky with my hair I really never go to hair salons. They either cut my own hair wrong or blow dry to it smells burnt. So I only go to get a trim and leave. I really love doing things on my own when it comes to beauty related things on myself. Plus it's a learning experience and you save money in the process. I am not saying it's for everyone and that everyone should try it. It's my own opinion on myself. So if you cut your own hair and it turns out horrible don't blame me...lol

What do you guys think? Should I be that daring and cut my hair or should I go to a hair salon instead. I want feed back so leave your comments and questions below.

All The Things I Use To Play Up My Eyes

Hello My Beauty Loves...I have had the two bottom products for a while now and the Miliani Eye Tech in Brown 02 was just purchased about a week ago. I am constantly changing my eye routine. I love to explore new and old products and also combine products to see what works best.

Miliani Eye Tech 02 Brown: Is a precise felt tip liquid eyeliner that gives you the control to line your eye to your liking. The color is a rich milk chocolate when applied and dries to a matte dark brown finish. The only downside to the product is it reminds me of the Maybelline Stiello Eyeliner which I wasn't to fawned of. I will give this product a 3 1/2  out of 5. It was a great buy at under $3.00.

Cover Girl Mascaras: These mascaras when applied are my favorite if I am going for a natural long length look. I would normally wear these mascaras alone but me being me I decided to use them together and I was instantly in love and wondering why hadn't I tried this a long time ago. First I use the fusion mascara and coat my top lashes covering the top and bottom of my top eye lashes. Next I use the length on top and go through the lashes a few times. I definitely give this combo and complete 5 there earned it! 

Maybelline Master Shape for Eyebrows: Maybelline has definitely stepped up the bar with this eyebrow pencil. I am a avid user of Mac eyebrow pencil in Spiked (Dark Brown). These blew me away I had purchased the Maybelline eyebrow pencil in medium brown in the (Green pencil) and I was totally disappointed with the result. It just wasn't dark enough and they don't offer a darker shade. If I had to rate this product I give it a 10!!! it's worth trying.

Thanks again for reading my blog

OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender

OPI nail polish in Lucky Lucky Lavender caught my eye right away. It is a soft neutral with a hint of spring that's how I would describe it. It is very opaque in color you also can get away with one stroke of the color. I don't have many OPI nail polishes but for some reason this nail polish just reminded me of cotton candy. I wore it and it last me 3 to 4 days with a base coat and a top coat. The drying time was fast with this nail polish. I normally do one coat and let that dry for about 10 minutes and then add the next wait another 10 minutes to the nail polish is fully dried and then apply my top coat. two tips on keeping your nails white soak your nails in lemon juice or use whitening denture tablets and soak your finger nail. I hope this was helpful! Again thank you for stopping in and reading my blog.

Revlon Top Speed Nail Polish

Hi Everyone...I purchased these nail polishes at Target on sale. I was browsing through some aisles and came across these nail polishes and thought I would give them a shot. I already tired both nail polishes and they are great quailty.They dry quick which I love because I have no patience for drying time especially with my busy schedule. They usually go for about $5.00 and I got them on sale for $2.95 I think don't quote me on that. Over all they were a good buy for the price and the colors I purchased were 840 Espresso and 830 Golden. On the normal third to fourth day my nails were chipping but nail polish isn't meant to last forever. I am thinking of purchasing more coloring and also I would love to try there new colorstay nail polishes that are being advertised. Leave me any questions on comments below. Thanks for coming by!

Vita Coco Coconut Water with Pineapple

This has become one of my favorite drinks. I normally enjoy Diet Coke or Powerade but I was getting bored of drinking the same thing all the time. I also wanted to cut out soda period! I tried this a few weeks back and thought to myself who would drink this but I decided to give it a another chance and I am truly happy I did. It will naturally hydrate you more then the leading sport drinks that have eletrolytes. It has more potassium then 2 bananas and the potassium keeps your body properly hydrated and also prevents from cramping. It has no fat, no cholesterol, and the best part it is low in calories. The bottle is usually 1.7 fl oz and is advertsed as never made from concentrate. I had one last night, I placed it in the freezer and let it chill to got a little frozen and it was to die for it was a little sweet and a little tangy from the pineapple in it. The bottle contains 2 servings at 60 calories per serving, the sodium is 30 mg, potassium is 515 mg, total carbs is 16g, sugar is 16g. Vita Coco with Pineapple is made with coconut water, pineapple and coconut puree, and vitamin C. It is also great for your skin, nails, and hair...that's a plus for me! Thanks for reading guys I hope I incouraged you to try something new. It doesn't always mean that the first time you will like it but keep giving things a try and just maybe the second time around you will love it!

Thanks for reading,

Nikk
