Give me 5 minutes!

-Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara 
-Prestige white eyeliner (to make brows stand out)
-Revlon lipstick in Crimson

Favorite Nude Lip!

NYX soft matte lip cream in Abu Dhabi

Actually, the whole NYX soft mattle lip cream line is amazing when it comes to matte lip products. The texture is not drying as opposed to other matte lipsticks. Instead, the texture is similar to a lip balm but with the appearance of a matte lipstick. Love it.

 The color looks so natural!

Catch up, & February Favorites!

I'm quite embarrassed by the amount of time it has been since I have made my last blog post. Over month is a long time! Here of some pictures I have taken throughout the last month I haven't posted!

Homemade thin mints I made via this recipe.

Pandora bracelet my mother got me; now her and I both have one ^_^.

Thank goodness I have a week off of school. School has been so crazy that I barely have any downtime. Since I will be transferring to a school out-of-state in about a year (when I'm married), I am cramming classes like crazy so that by the time I transfer to the new school I will have my pre-reqs covered. I have about eight more classes to take until I am finished with my AA for pre-nursing. I have yet to take my Anatomy and Physiology I (A&PI) and A&PII. Which I'm sure will take up a lot of my time when I get to that point!

Anyway, onto my February Favorites:

 From left to right:

 1. c. Booth Tea Tree Therapeutic Toner- Since I live in Florida, the weather here is already pretty hot. This is great if you have combination/oily skin. I have been using this about 2 or 3 times as my toner when I don't use my Proactiv Toner (the best toner ever!..at least in my opinion)

2. HydraPixel- I cannot live without this product. I think of this product as the American version of a BB cream. Although it doesn't have the same consistency as a BB cream (the consistency of the HydraPixel is like that of a primer), it still carries some of the similar effects. I love love love this product. I mainly use it as a primer, or some days I'll use the HydraPixel over my moisturizer and that's it. It has a matte finish. I should probably do a blog post dedicated to this. I'll note that.

3. Essence Silky Touch Blush- This blush was under four dollars and last ALL day. Enough said.
4. NYX Blush in Sand- LOVE this as a bronzer.



I know I haven't made as many blog posts as I would like! But I promise I will make more!
