Who doesn't love their makeup to have an invisible feel with maximum coverage? Urban Decay has created just that with their new Powder Foundation and Naked Skin concealer. The foundation is long-lasting and works both wet AND dry. This weightless demi-matte formula diffuses light, and blurs lines and wrinkles (again, who doesn't need that?). They've also launched a new weightless concealer to apply under your powder foundation which contains Matrixyl 3000 an anti-wrinkle peptide and Litchiderm that protects against dehydration.

I had the pleasure of reviewing a full-size 5 oz bottle of the company’s Cellulite Cream. The company promotes that it’s a “powerful solution that tightens and tones the skin so you can achieve a smooth, supple appearance”. The key ingredients include: Caffeine, Retinol, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Vitamin C and Vitamin B5. The Caffeine works by toning and tightening, while Retinol repairs and restores, so you can obtain long-lasting results for a firm and supple appearance.

No longer do we need a professional to style our hair to perfection! Instantly create beautiful, long-lasting curls with just the touch of a button with the KISS InstaWave, a fully automatic tangle-free curler.

Everyone has something they want to change. It could be that freckle in a weird spot or you’d rather have curly than straight hair, be blonde rather than brunette. The list can go on and on. One of my ‘wish it was different’ things was my smile. Not the way I smiled, but my teeth and how white they are. It’s no secret that soda, tea and our diets can change the whiteness in our enamel and we all need some help time to time to restore that.

I’ve had dental cleanings, brushed twice a day and even tried the whitening strips from the store. Nothing resulted in much of a change. My dentist told me, “That’s just the color of your teeth.” I didn’t like that answer. Then Smile Brilliant sent me their newest at home kit and asked me to give it a try.

I've been told by quite a few that they wanted to know what I used on my brows and how I did it so I decided to film a Eyebrow Routine.  This was filmed just before I went into the tailspin known as 32 Weeks & 8 Hours in Labor & Delivery!  At least my brows looked good...right?  haha Enjoy!

A few weeks ago I was at an event to support another blogger when I met a lovely YOUNIQUE sales representative named Miriam.  I can't lie, her makeup looked wonderful and she complimented mine as well so we hit it off.  After talking with her a little I found out she worked with YOUNIQUE, this is a fairly new product line ranging from their famous mascara that I'll have a review on below as well as lip glosses and foundation products.

 
I know that when I started to wear makeup, I was so overwhelmed by everything and didn’t know where to start. Here I write the “order” in which I personally started, and perhaps can be a guideline for you too; as well as some of my personal product recommendations, so you hopefully don’t have to have as many “trial and errors” as I did!

I've been asked a lot recently to do a video like this or talk about no makeup makeup.  I don't always have 30 minutes to play around and put my face on so sometimes it's just the bare essentials!

 

Over the past 2 weeks I've hit up Target, CVS and Charming Charlie for everything from beauty products to clothing and accessories!  Check out what I got in my newest haul video!

I love this look for Valentine's Day.  It's probably what I'll wear on Valentine's Date Night with the hubby!  I love all these products too so stay tuned and watch to see how I created this look!

Hello December! It's the month of crazy holiday shopping, pictures with Santa, happiness and joy!

To be honest I've never really had much luck with mineral based makeup.  I did try Bare Minerals years ago but their concealer in Summer Bisque is about the only thing I ever liked.  When yourMinerals asked me to try out some of their products I was excited to see if my opinions on mineral makeup had changed and they have!

A couple weeks ago I posted about my Ipsy Glam Bag and how it's the only subscription service that I've kept over the years but I think I found a new one I'll have to add to the list!  Wantable is a subscription box service like any other but you actually get quality products for the cost of $36/month or $40 for a single box.  They even have boxes for accessories and intimates!
