Glitter All Day, Everyday

Hi friends!

I received this amazing package from Coloured Raine Cosmetics and wanted to share the amazing glitter shadows they offer. The names are so cute and all the glitters are soo stunning! My mind is going crazy with all of the sparkly looks I want to make using these bad boys. 

They are originally $11.99 a piece but if you go over they are on the site for $10.14 right now. 

You can purchase glitter adhesive thats safe for the eyes from Sally's Beauty or you can purchase the Glitz Fix from their site that will lock in your glitter. I'm going to try and get all the amazing lipsticks up soon!

Enjoy the pictures my loves.

Although I know that people wont be purchasing all these glitters at once, I narrowed it down to 3 that I LOVE and ones that would be great to start with! Just pop a little matte brown or black shadow in the crease with any of these glitters on the lid and you have a glam look instantly. Get it gurl.

MAC Pro + Inglot Haul

 

Happy happy Friday!!

How are you!? I hope this week has been amazing for you lovely readers. I'm trying to pay attention and write this post while listening to JT's new album. *focus girl* Ok so, on Monday, We took a day trip to SF and did some major damage on goodies to add to my kit. I went with my sister Kati, my cousin Carissa and our friend Emily. We literally dedicated the whole day to purchasing makeup. It was amazing, especially for makeup junkies like ourselves. I had a list together of things I needed to add to my kit but mainly it was all at MAC Pro. Long story short, we did A LOT of shopping and had the best time. Since I already had my kit together, these are just odds and ends I needed to add to it to update it a little. I have a wedding on Saturday and I cant wait to put all these new babies to work with the rest of my kit. Oh and we went to Inglot, I died and went to heaven. I couldn't believe how amazing all of their products were. I will for sure be going back to buy their glitter pigments and concealers. If you have any questions about the products pictured below or want prices or anything feel free to ask.

Happy Friday!

Do you have anything fun planned for this weekend? I'm looking forward to a mellow couple days. Going shopping and for dinner with my cousin who is getting married in May. So excited. Me + Mall = turns out bad thats why I try not to go. (Well, it turns out bad for my husband hah) $$.

I was so excited getting glammed up today and using my new NuMe Titan 3inOne curling wand!! I always have used curling irons with the clamp and was so excited to finally try a clamp-less wand on my hair. Afraid I was going to burn my fingers off, I was so happy to find that they include a safety glove for you to use along with it. My hair came out so fab today. To get the look I did today, I just curled all my hair with the 32mm barrel, teased the back and sides of my head and then pinned my bangs back. It's a new fave hairstyle for spring now. Lol. I promised you on IG I would share with you all the products on my face today so here it is. :) Enjoy my lovelies.

Nightly Skincare Routine

Hi!
Last night I posted on IG the products I use nightly and seemed like a lot of you were interested in seeing what my nightly skincare routine is. Yes, I wear a lot of makeup and LOVE wearing makeup, it's my way of expressing myself and it makes me happy. But in order for your skin to look great with makeup on it's more important to take really good care of your skin. It is your largest organ after all, (i think lol). No matter how tired I am or how late it is, I always always always remove my makeup every single night. There have been night or 2 where I am so tired that I will just skip my whole nightly face routine but I never sleep with makeup on. For #1 its gross, #2 you end up letting all the product, dirt, oil and bacteria that you accumulated during the day soak into your face and clog your precious little pores and #3 it will dry out your face and cause your skin to age prematurely. We don't want that.

First, I remove my false lashes, then I gently remove the makeup from my face and neck. Next, in a circular motion on my eyes I remove the mascara, shadow liner and anything else I have in that area. Going in a slow circular motion will help get the makeup off faster and prevent you from tugging and pulling at the sensitive skin around the eye that tends to wrinkle easily because it is so thin. I use Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Wipes in the purple package. They claim the lavender is supposed to calm and relax you so you can get a good nights sleep but its going to take more than that to get me to relax. Lol. Besides that I love them.
They cost $6.99 and I get mine at Target. (or any drugstore)

I use a Clarisonic Mia2 once a day to deep clean my face. It does cost a pretty penny but in my opinion soo worth it. I use it with the Nuetrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash with it. Basically what the Clarisonic does is it is it removes makeup and dirt six times better than with your hands or wipes. It controls oil and breakouts. It has improved the texture of my skin, my face feels smoother and softer. I use it at night because it removes all of the extra makeup I have hiding on my face that I couldn't remove with the wipes. I haven't had any huge breakouts since using this baby. Hopefully it will keep my skin youthful and keep my pores small forever. :)

Clarisonic is $149.00

Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash is $5.49

Toner is next up on my routine and I use Clinique Clarifying Lotion #2, I just add a little bit to a cotton round and apply it all over my face. It clears away any dead skin cells or oil and preps my face to soak in the moisturizer that I use next. The tingling this toner leaves on my face is so refreshing and clean. A good toner is important mostly to people with oily skin or acne prone skin. From what I read it can dry out people with dry-skin types and isn't necessary for everyone.

Clinique Clarifying Lotion is $22.50

I finish off my skin routine with Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, but since I have been out of it I have been using Lubriderm Daily Moisture for Sensitive Skin.

Clinique DDML is $25.00

Lubriderm is $8.49

When I am all done with my skin, I brush my teeth and take out my contacts and lastly brush this little pen on my teeth and let it dry for 1 minute and go to sleep with it on. I brush it off when I wake up the next morning. Haven't really experienced any sensitivity or pain with it at all. 

Pen is $79.00

My mom got me addicted to this Extra Emollient Night Cream from Mary Kay. She uses it on her face because she has dry skin, but I only use it on my lips at night and wake up the next morning with soft moisturized lips. It's a really heavy cream so if you have dry skin this thing works wonders. If I used it on my face I would wake up looking like a oily disco ball. 

Thanks for reading!

*if you have any questions or recommendations on skin care products let me know I love trying out new things!*

Dial A Smile Review

Hi! :)

How is your Tuesday going!? I hope amazing. Mine is okay, been a super long day today.

I finally got a chance to use my Dial-A-Smile kit from Whitening Lighting. This has turned into a life saver because I literally have become addicted to Dr Pepper and Starbucks, which is bad because dark anything can stain your teeth if you drink it a lot. No one really wants stained teeth, at least I don't! I love this kit so much because it's so simple and so much fun to use the UV light. Lol. A couple years ago, I tried using the crest white strips and found that it kept leaving my teeth super sensitive and when I would do the treatments it tasted so bad. Plus, I never really noticed any dramatic results like I had expected. So I was so happy to get sent the Dial-A-Smile kit. I found that the steps were so simple and in 20 minutes you did get a dramatic difference. I didn't get 4-7 shades whiter, I would say about 3. Which is still a huge difference. The DAS kit includes: Whitening Wheel (teeth shades so you can see your whitening progress), Teeth Cleaning Wipes, A Mini paint brush, Q Tips with protectant vitamins (to protect lips and gums), Syringe like tool that has all of the whitening gel and lastly a UV Light. 

First I started off by cleaning my teeth with the Cleaning teeth wipes, then I added the little q-tip of protectant on my gums and lips. I painted on the teeth whitening gel with my mini paint brush and then used the UV light to brighten my teeth. Only took 20 minutes. I would say this whole process with prep include takes about 30 mins. But so worth it. My teeth came out to be about 3 shades whiter than they were and I didn't notice really any sensitivity or pain.

 I took some before and after pictures but by the time my 20 minutes was over, the lighting was darker because I did it in the late afternoon, so in my next treatment I will do it in the early afternoon so I can have the natural lighting to show you the difference. The box says its good for 3 treatments, but I think you can get a lot more uses out of it which is a plus as well!

Use code: GORGEOUS70 for 70% off your order. :)
