Favorites

It's been awhile since I shared some of my recent obsessions so I thought I'd share them with you right now!

Nars Gentle Cream Cleanser

Foams up so good, removes everything and smells like an orange creamsicle.  I use it with my Clarisonic and it is the greatest. 

Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Fresh Powder

It's a loose powder foundation that is 20% water and gives the skin such a fresh and natural look.  Makes your skin look so healthy and luminous. You can use it alone or over your regular foundation. 

Josie Maran Argan Oil Illuminizer 

Ultra light skin brightener that gives skin a lit from within glow all day.  I use it just about every day under my foundation and it makes your skin look amazing!  Feels so nice on the face too.

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H Foundation 

Speaking of foundation....holy amazing foundation Batman!  This is Lancome's newest foundation and I'm OBSESSED.  It's so creamy and feels so natural.  It lays on the skin beautifully!  It's re-touch free for 24 hours and you know how annoying it is when you're blowing your nose and your foundation rubs off?  Or when you give someone a hug and you give them some of your make up back on their shirt?  EW...this does NOT DO THAT AT ALL.  I'm amazed and in love.

YSL Voile de Blush Gel Blush 

I love a good cream/liquid/gel blush and this is one of the best ones I've ever found.  Goes on so smooth and blends beautifully.  These types of blushes are my favorite to use in the winter for a healthy natural glow.  

Lancome 5 Pan Palette "Lavender Grace" 

I think I've mentioned how obsessed I am with these palettes before right?  Well we just got a bunch of new colors in and I'm in love with this one.  The colors are to DIE for and the texture is amazing.  

Lancome Artliner liquid eyeliner 

The best liquid liner I've ever used.  I'm not biased...it's just simply the best.

Lancome Rouge In Love Lipstick "Roses In Love"

I've never really been a lipstick wear-er but I'm in love (see what I did there?).  It's so lightweight but it's a 6 hour wear which is amazing.  Roses In Love is my favorite shade that I wear EVERY day but the rest are gorgeous as well.

Essie Luxeffects Top Coat "A Cut Above" 

The most gorgeous top coat for nail polish.  Just the right amount of sparkle.

Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish 

LOVE LOVE LOVE It's a gentle exfoliating product for the body.  It's so nice to have during these DRY winter months.  I love this stuff.

St. Ives Soothing Oatmeal and Shea Butter Lotion 

This is my favorite lotion right now.  It immediately soothes dry skin without burning or irritation.  My skin looks better after ONE time using it.  I have been lathering it all over lately.  Love it. 

I can't even express how obsessed I am with this show....

Bought the first 2 seasons of this.  Can't stop watching.  It was such a good show.

Favorite candy of all time.  If you want to be my friend....send me one of these.  If you want to be my best friend...send me 5.

Anything you're currently obsessed with and want to share with me??

pinterest

awhile back I joined from what here on out will be referred to as "time vortex" but formally known as

for those who aren't enlighted pinterest aka the time vortex is a site where you can "pin" things from the world wide web that you like for others to see.  There are some amazing DIYs, for the home items, and recipes!

The problem that I have with it is this: each time I get on the time vortex I leave feeling one of these three things...
1. extreme hunger
2. the unstoppable urge to shop
3. a deep need to redecorate my room/move/buy a mansion

Plus I will start looking at 10 am and when I'm done....it's getting dark out (hence the time vortex)

let me give you some examples...
after spending a lot of some time on the site this evening I came to the following conclusions...

I absolutely must make these homemade twix bars as soon as humanly possible or I will never eat anything ever again!

(I won't even get started on the thousands upon thousands of pumpkin recipes starting to appear....or the number of times I've almost licked my computer screen)

buying this dress and this coat and these shoes will change my life and make it undeniably perfect and I will never have any problems!

And lastly I will have to start packing immediately so I can live in this house

 with these wonderful things inside...

and my children will have an amazing life too because they'll have this

so to sum it all up...the time vortex nee pinterest will make you want to get an entirely different life.

*just a precautionary tale...a person pinned a picture of an  Asian baby on Pinterest with the caption "want" and pinned it to their "For the Home" board...Who are the proper authorities to alert about this?

5 Things

I know it's rare for me to post on a Saturday but usually I'm working the day away but in a lucky and rare turn of events I was off work by 2:00 today!  I've never known what a real Saturday afternoon looks like!  I'm here to tell you that they are beautiful!  In honor of this lovely Saturday of freedom which I love....I thought I'd share some other things that I currently LOVE

"Yes To" is an amazing line of natural products which I will be blogging more in depth about next week but I thought I'd share these first.  "Yes to Blueberries" Moist Facial Towlettes.  Remove dirt and make up and are 99% natural and paraban free!  It's nice knowing that you're using apple, lemon, and blueberry to clean your face instead of chemicals.  So excited to share my other great finds from this line....
P.S. And added bonus...they only cost $7.99 at Target!

I don't know what exactly it is about summertime that makes me listen to country music on an endless loop but I'm obsessed.
