I just wanted to ramble on a bit and share a bit of beauty related pics from my Instagram feed. First off, HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all of you mothers that visit my site. What a fun day to treat that special lady in your life or even get spoiled by your own fantastic families. I hope that you all make the most of this beautiful Sunday!
After I took a shower this morning my power went out directly afterwards… :/ I wanted to do my hair and look cute (for the first time in weeks) but apparently the electricity-gods didn’t want that. So my hair went up in a bun. While I was sitting in my bathroom in the dark I started looking at the mess that has accumulated on the side of my vanity sink. I started thinking, “Wow… I never talk about any of this stuff but I use it just about daily.” I want to list out for you today some things that are my dailies that don’t get mentioned.
Sephora Tweezers – I have had these tweezers for years… like at least 4 years. They are still perfectly sharp and never fail when I need them. These are the slanted ones but I also have a needle nose pair that rarely get used because they are kind of scary.
Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer – This stuff is a miracle. It covers ANYTHING I need it to. I have no other words for it really except AMAZING.
YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick – It is such a pretty color and I attempt to wear it all the time but it is very very bright so I never actually go through with it. I keep it out though to remind me to try it everyday until I convince myself to wear it! LOL
Cotton Pads – I remove my makeup with these, clean up during makeup application, you name it. I am constantly repurchasing these things. I don’t ever really think about how VITAL they are to my beauty routine but I think it would be like having my hands cut off if I were to have to go without them.
Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream – Skin PERFECTER! No joke. I love this stuff. I finally wrote my review on it a few days back so feel free to go read that for my full opinion. Heaven sent!
Benefit Stay Don’t Stray – This is a small sample that I got a LOOOONG time ago but this little guy hasn’t given out yet. It is pretty fantastic stuff as far as lid primer goes. I have been doing very minimalistic looks but it really makes the discoloration on my eyelids neutralized so that the actual colors I put on my lids show through! Good stuff!
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion – I actually really love this stuff and I am a long, long time user. I have had great skin since becoming pregnant but my laziness/feeling ill in the most recent weeks have left me falling asleep with makeup on and not taking care of my face like I should. I started having breakouts that are completely my fault recently and this stuff is my go-to blemish control! If you haven’t tried anything from Mario Badescu and you have acne: USE THIS!! It will turn you onto the brand as a whole.
There are a few more things but I wont get into those. The ones I mentioned are always sitting around like that and are all worth trying.
Julep Zelda is gorgeous. I did my nails with them late last night and I am amazed. I got it in my May Julep Maven box and I never actually did a post or wore them until now but the entire box was amazing. In fact… I kinda want to go and play with the lipsticks that came in my box now! :D The polish called Zelda (pictured above) looks almost exactly like another polish I have from Chanel called Delight. It was limited edition from last year’s summer collection (link to my post on it found here)!
If you weren’t able to get your hands on it try to pick up the Julep shade. Here is my referral link if you want to sign up for Julep under me. You can get your first box for free and after the initial box you can chose to get your box or skip it each month.
My Mother’s Day Face Of The Day is really my basic FOTD!
