My Staple Beauty Products!







So I decided to write up this post because of one of the amazing nail polishes that I spotted in a past Instagram picture. This nail polish inspired me to remember all of these amazing things that I have loved for what seems like FOREVER! I hope you guys enjoy this post! lets get started with these Antiques!

Bath and Body works Honey Sweetheart Body Mist

This is a body spray that I picked up in 2013. It was a part of the Valentines collection at Bath and body works. I am not sure if it is a permanent fragrance, but I do know you can purchase it on Amazon! 
This body mist is SWEET! Literally, its scent is one of the sweetest I have ever smelled. Some people do not favor this, as i LOVE it! That is the pretty much only way I have to describe it! But it smells amazing for all year round. I also picked up the body wash, and enjoyed every bit of it. I never really use up products but I did with this fragrance and would defiantly repurchase! 

Pink Body Spray Fresh and Clean

I received this as a gift in a set for the past Christmas, and I actually love it! The only way I have to describe it is that it is very musky, and sometimes I am worried that it may smell a bit manly.. but other than that, I wear it on a day-to-day bases to school and when I am just going out during the day. I know this is very different from the previous, so that is why I wanted to include it for the people that aren't such sweet lovers.

Neutrogena Clear Pore Toner

I have went through at least 3 bottles of this. It last about 6 months, give or take a month. I have honestly never used any other toner. and I Defiantly recommend this for someone with normal to oily skin like me! 

Nicel Daily Repair Cream

I found this stuff at big lots and it rocks! Its so light but has kept my skin so clear and nice the past few months and I know I will use this for a very long time. It also smells great and soaks into the skin very quickly and nicely! 

Revlon Perfumie Nail Polishes in African Rose Tea and Apricot Nectar

I have raved about these nail polishes many times, and its because I love the colors and formulation. I only wish they had a longer lasting time. I continue to paint my nails with these because of the beautiful colors I have and defiantly will grab a few more soon! 

Flower Nail polish in May Flowers 

I have loved this polish since the day I got it a few months ago. Its such a nice nude-pink, that is a little more pink so it shows I am wearing polish without being to bold. It also has a decent lasting power and only takes about 2 coats! Very affordable! 

Broadway Nail polish in Stripped

My mom picked up this polish at the Dollar General for my and I was not expecting much at all. Well this is now the color that gave me this blog post idea! so thank you pretty pretty nude nail polish! This color is super pigmented for a nude, which are usually sheer. 2 coats and you should be good to go! And if you want to get crazy add a matte top coat! 

Equate Beauty Original Clean Makeup Removing Wipes

Yes, I have tried the Ponds version and still continue to love these more. They're Half the price and get the job done perfectly. Why switch?

My Guess glasses in the Mint and Tortoise Shell

Other than needing these to see, i feel like the go well with many outfits and really make my face look slimmer. Example  

BH Cosmetics Pop Art Brush set

I just received these brushes a few days ago. I picked them up on sale for the 4th of July sale.
I am really enjoying these and would recommend them if you're in the need for a full set of brushes! Check them out at BHcosmetics.com 

Revlon Light Up Makeup Mirror

Not just a random mirror selfie, actually something to talk about

If you are into doing your makeup, and do not have a vanity you should at least try to pick up one of these double sided mirrors. I believe one side is x10 and the other is normal. I use this every day for all my makeup application because with out my glasses I can not see into my vanity mirror very clearly. LOL 

Nivea Lip Balm In Milk & Honey 

I Remember using this in the 8th grade, a little over a year and a half ago. It was my stress reliever during finals - reapplying every 60 seconds. 
TMI? anyway, this stuff smells so good... Slightly like the Lush store. But just amazing and is so smoothing! Recommended! 


Whats been up? 

Well, I have been transitioning to my new camera, and I recently saw my Childhood idol and Crush? Austin Mahone! Little teasers on my Instagram and here. The experience was amazing and so was he! I might to a blog post of just the many Pictures I took of him? Would anyone like that or be Interested? 

I also will be hopefully getting my own Makeup room! this will make storage and blogging so much easier! Maybe even a storage/makeup collection video on my youtube channel? 

speaking of that I did make a YouTube video.. The audio is screwed up because of YouTubes uploader, but if you can get past that, you can watch it here! Click the picture below

Lorac Pro 2 Palette Swatches + Review







Pigmentation and Texture

As you can see from the swatched photos, these shadows transfer on the the skin amazingly! The only shadow that is harder to see is Buff. From personal uses of this shadow, I know that it is very pigmented on the eye. Also, these colors feel like butter, so smooth that they just glide onto the lid. Don't you just want to stick your finger in them?! or is that just me... 
With about 30 seconds and a blending brush these shadows blend like a dream! All in All I think the pigmentation of these shadows is perfect! 

Fallout 

From these shadows I have seen the UNSEEABLE when it comes to these pro palettes. Everyone claims that the first pro palette, along with its newer generation, have no fallout. When I swirl a tapered blending brush into the shadows, I do see a small amount of fallout in the pan. But once these shadows are on the eye their is nothing! it is amazing! So if you are new to this palette don't be scared of pan fallout when you first pick them up because it does not transfer! 

Color Variety

I told myself that I must stop buying neutral palettes because that is all I own.. Anyone with me? So that stopped me from buying the original Lorac Pro Palette. But once the second one was released with the beautiful navy, green, and purples, I knew this was for me! The variety of colors in this palette are wonderful for someone who isn't ready for the Urban Decay Electric palette yet or just someone wanted to keep it on the natural side. It has brown, gray/black, navy, emerald, and plum hues. A Wonderful Variety. 

Is it worth the price? 

This palette again along with the first retail for $42 at Ulta. 
I believe that this palette is very much worth it. You get 16 shadows, totalling each one for around $2.50. Also included is a deluxe sample of Loracs Behind the scenes eye primer! Compared to the naked palettes, you are getting 4 more shadows for $12 dollars cheaper. Do not get me wrong I am a huge fan of Urban Decays Naked Palettes, but I actually rather the Lorac eyeshadows over the Urban decay ones. 





Sorry I have not been posting as recently, but i have actually created my first youtube video! For some reason youtube messed up the audio, but if you can get passed that check it out! Click the picture below!



Thank for reading and I hope you enjoyed! For some reason i have been buying way too much lately from Stila, BH cosmetics, Ulta, Nyx and much more so comment if you want to see something with those things!
