Product Share





One of my favorite things about having friends and being a girl is trying new things and sharing what you like. So for today's post I thought it would only be appropriate to share some of the things I have tried and absolutely love.

This is the Maybeline Colossal Volume mascara and it is wonderful. It cleans right off, it goes on smooth and gives you incredible volume. I must attribute this most convenient find to my BFF, Thanks Beccs. Although I usually don't stray from my "Grocery Store" makeup pick, Cover Girl, I must say, if you stray, go towards Maybeline. It is the only acceptable alternative IMO.


This is the Privo shoe. I was first introduced to these, 130$ Retail, fashionably forward, and heavenly comfortable shoe line last year when my sister and I went shoe shopping for Paris. Although Julie never got to wear them in Paris because of an unfortunate baggage claim debacle, she has just raved about them since she got home and finally got her most beloved footwear back. They are so comfortable and I scored at Marshals on super sale for 20$.




Love this Plum mint lip gloss. Shiny gloss, natural lip color, and lip moisturizer all in one. I am really into natural colored lips these days. This gloss pick is the perfect color to achieve this new fetish of mine.
***Make up tip from Me: You always get neutral colored lips automatically after applying your face makeup. To revive your lips and pull out those natural red pigments, take a baby wipe or a moist toilette wipe and rub the makeup off your lips before applying lip gloss or lip stick. It doesn't matter what color you are applying, lipstick always looks better on natural color.




This is amazing foundation. I am one sold client of cover girl. They are always coming out with the most fresh, convenient, and beautiful products in makeup. I absolutely love how this literally matches to my skin tone creating a soft and evenly distributed palette to apply the rest of my makeup.







Please forgive my obvious idiosyncrasies. I am somewhat apt to attract myself to pretty bottles and "moth to a flame-like" marketing hence stumbling on all that is Smart Water. Then I started doing some research and learned that this seemingly simple bottle of water is actually enhanced with electrolytes. Which is really cool as I detest Gatorade and Powerade, or any energy drink for that matter. With all of the toxins that go in and out of our bodies each day. We all know that some drinks which claim to refresh you are actually natural diuretics for your system, I think it's cool that we have tasteless water enhanced with electrolytes to restore the levels in our bodies and help us not become dehydrated.





I think I have a somewhat unorthodox process for a morning routine. I have a facial mirror, my makeup, my hair products and all cosmetic necessities available a my fingertips on my bed. Doing all of this on my bed makes it difficult if I get makeup on my hands, to touch anything else. So I use these fresh towelettes to stay on top of messy makeup hands. They work wonders.



These are so good. They are filling, refreshing, and so much fun. The Strawberries Wild is my favorite. Try one please, you'll love it. Albertson's has them.

So I took your advice and tried the Colossal Mascara. I like it... but not to use just by itself. Maybeline also make a mascara that is my absolute favorite! It is called a "Lash Stylist". It allows you to make your eyelashes perfect and long and dries really quick... so i have been putting on the Colossal first, and then going over it with my lash stylist mascara second which gives a really clean, full and long look. :)
