<3 DONT FORGET TO ENTER IN MY GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!
Just going to give ya some insight on what my daily face routine looks like. This is just going to be what I apply on my face, does not include eye makeup, or lippy stuff! It's a handful alone what goes on my face, let alone everything else! Haha!

Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Ponds Dry Skin Cream Bobbie Brown Moisture Rich Foundation SPF 15 in Warm Natural 4.5 Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Benefit Erase Paste in Medium E.L.F Blush in Peachy Keen Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer in Tan MAC Blush in Dollymix MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in Medium Dark

1. Moisturize
2. LM Foundation Primer (all over face) this primer is very moisturizing - GREAT for my dry skin
3. Erase Paste (under eyes) it is a peachy color that reduces the minor dark circles I have under my eyes - remember dark circles are covered with peachy/red concealors & redness  is covered with greenish concealors and blend blend blend!
4. Glamoflauge Concealor (under my eyes over the Erase Paste, on my eyelids, and in areas I feel I need more coverage - typically my cheeks because I have slight redness and considering this concealor is "heavy duty" it really covers me up!
5. Bobbi Brown Foundation (all over my face including my eyelids and past my jaw line) blend blend blend is the key! I use the ELF FLAT TOP Foundation Brush to apply this!
6. Soleil Tan De Chanel (all over cheekbone, temples, and forehead line) I do this to contour my face and reduce larger areas of my face that I want to "hide" - contouring is a major part to adding dimension and angles to your face that you dont normally have without makeup!
7. MAC MSF Powder (all over face) - remember whenever you apply something wet to your face, you must seal it with something dry! Using a big puffy brush to apply this is perfect!
8. E.L.F Blush (on cheek bone) I apply this first because it has alittle highlight color to it. It's just perfect for what I need everyday. I apply it as a base before I add my MAC Blush.
9. MAC Blush (on cheek bone) I apply this right on my cheekbone over the E.L.F Blush. It gives it a more pigmented look after 1 brush stroke and I love that!

Hey Babes!

Within the first week of every month I will be posting a favorites post for the previous month! I always find it helpful when I read other blogs and find out all the juicy gossip on what people are loving! I suppose you all will love it too!

Here are my July Favs!!

Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Swatch

I have heard awesome reviews about this and I had to have it! After realizing there is no wrong way to use this product, I fell in love! How can you not? It's the perfect color to give you that bronze, sun kissed look! It is a mousse-like texture and very creamy! I have not had any breakouts from it! It blends perfectly! You can apply this after foundation or without foundation! A MUST BUY! USA Cost @ Macys is $48.00.

Top: Mac Satin Lipstick Siss Bottom: Revlon Lip Gloss in Pink Pop

These two lip products are a match made in heaven! The Mac Satin Lipstick line is extraordinary! The lipstick just glides onto your lips and for me, always stays on so well! I haven't used a lipstick from them I didnt love! Siss is a nude color, satin finish and creamy. I am fair skinned so in the winter this may not look too good on me, but in the summer when I am tan it literally matches my skin tone and lip tone!

Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara in Black

This mascara BLEW ME AWAY! I did a post a few months ago on how I was trying to find a dupe for DiorShow Mascara, and I had finally came across Benefit BadGal Lash! Okay.. so I went from paying $24.50, to $19.00, to $7.99 AND this infamous $7.99 product helps my lashes grow... when the other two expensive products DID NOT! UHM BEAT THAT GOOD DEAL! I absolutely LOVE this mascara because it is literally THE SAME BRUSH as DIORSHOW -& BADGAL LASH! I compared them all side by side and tested the bristles! YUP, same ones! They even fit inside eachothers tubes! We all know what makes the mascara is the brush, lets be real here. The product inside, yes, can vary and sometimes even dry out quicker. Although, with these three, they compare in all those categories, THE SAME! - As far as lashes growing... I have been using this product for about 4 months now and I have seen a significant growth in my lashes and even thickness. I always used to joke on my posts how I have 10 lashes on each eye... I literally have like 25 lashes on each eye now. haha ok, not literally because I dont count them, but I am saying they have almost tripled in amount! I wont stop using this product, and I hope you all start! Let me know how you love it!

Benefit Erase Paste in Medium

Hi Dolls!

I just wanted to let you know (if you hadn't already noticed) I put up some pages at the top of my blog. I added some new photos, a blog roll, an inside look to who I am (under My Story), contact information, and soon to come my Wishlist. I have so much on my wishlist - I just havent really had the chance to write them all down.. it's coming soon!

This is a much needed announced E.L.F Haul. I purchased quite a few things from E.L.F about a month or so ago and then I decided I wanted to try out MORE things, so I just waited on blogging about them until I had everything together and I tested most of the things.

I had no idea that E.L.F had such awesome products until after reading quite a few blogs and checkin' out some Vlogs, had I decided to try it out for myself and see if its true! And it is! E.L.F rocks! They have some super inexpensive products that work fantabulously and I'm kinda sad I didnt hear about them sooner!

I'm not kidding when I say I practically bought the company out. I purchased so many things!

Warm Bronzer High Definition Powder Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

I absolutely love the warm bronzer. It's got a super light sparkle to it, but nothing crazy. It's perfect for my skin tone even when I use self tanner. I havent used the HD Powder yet, but I have heard it compares to the MUFE HD Powder, and if that's the case then it's going to be perfect! The Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder is kinda dark for me right now. The blush in the pic (sorry about that) looks very pale, but it's very similar to Nars Orgasm. I'm not too crazy about the blush right now but I know in the Spring and Summer I'll definitely be putting it to use!

Eyeliner & Shadow Stick in Black and Smoke Defining Eye Brush Professional Eye Shadow Brush Professional Lip Defining Brush (2) Eye Shadow "C" Brushes Powder Brush

I haven't used the Eyeliner & Shadow Stick, but when I do I'll let you know how it turned out for me! The rest of the brushes are FAB! The 5 brushes in the center all work great! I was really hesitant. I typically use MAC brushes and I wasn't sure how these would compare, but they are really great. I use the Lip Defining Brush for my lip balms (so I dont have to use my fingers) and the bristles dont clump or fall out and it applies just the amount I want/need. I use the "C" brushes for cream eye shadows and I have had no problem with them! The last brush is one of my ultimate favorites! I heard so much good stuff about it, that I had to have it! It's a powder brush that can be used with liquid foundation too! I use it to apply my Bobby Brown Moisture Rich Foundation and it's applies it so flawlessly, I'm in love! I have the Sigma Flat Top Kabuki that I also use and they are veryyy similar. I will do a review on that in another post, but this brush is simply perfect! These are all simple and easy to clean and are really excellent quality.

Blue Mist Fuchsia Purple Pleasure Mango Madness Lilac

Blue Mist Fuchsia Purple Pleasure Mango Madness Lilac

I just swatched these colors for you quickly. I really havent worn any of these colors for more then 2 minutes. I can tell you that they are very pigmented. I absolutely loved the way they looked on me even with how I applied them. My favories are the last two: Mango Madness and Lilac. I will be painting my nails this week a new color and one of them will hit the top spot. I'll keep you updated!

Conditioning Lip Balm SPF 15 in Mellow Melon

Love this lip balm! Smells yummy and tastes yummy! If you have read my posts you know that I love to lick my gloss off. Haha So I always taste and comment on everything I put on my lips! It goes on smooth and like I said, tastes fab! It's a peachy color and just cute to throw on when you're on the go!

Hypershine Gloss in Vixen Therapeutic Conditioning Balm in Strawberry Cream Super Glossy Lip Shine in Clear

Therapeutic Conditioning Balm in Strawberry Cream Hypershine Gloss in Vixen Super Glossy Lip Shine in Clear

I do not like the conditioning balm in Strawberry Cream. Yuck! It tastes miserable! It just reminds me of the times I accidentally get my hair conditioner in my mouth when I'm showering. (I know it sounds weird, but it happens. lol) It just has these super gross taste and it looks bad on my lips too! Bad buy! The gloss in Vixen, tastes fab and goes on cute too! Very pigmented gloss and does come up like an orange/red color. I love it! And the gloss in Clear was just for a quick pick me up if I'm on the go or if I am wearing a matte lipstick that needs some lovin'. It's super glossy and alittle sticky, but I dont mind that. I actually love glosses that way because I dont lick them off as quick! hahaha

Tinted Moisturizer in Honey Tinted Moisturizer in Apricot Beige Tone Correcting Concealer in Apricot Beige

I initially purchased the TM in Apricot Beige and it was just the perfect color of my face. I dont really mind if I am just trying to hide my rosacea, but I do want some color if I am leaving the house with just tinted moisturizer on so I purchased it in Honey. It gives me alittle more color without overdoing me. Its nothing special but it does the trick and I cant complain. I use a Sephora brand TM and their's is more pigmented and lasts longer, but c'mon this was a buck! I'm really not complaining. As you can see I havent opened the concealer. I use a MAC concealer presently and just havent had the opportunity to play around with this yet. I will eventually and keep you updated!
