My January favorites | 2014

 

Here are a few of my favorite Beauty products for January!

One product not shown is the Milani nude eye primer. I love this primer as much as the urban decay primer potion.

What are some of your monthly beauty favorites? What products did you find yourself using over and over? I'd love to hear your favorites as well!

My new nail polish blog is up!

 

Hey everyone! I finally decided to start my nail blog. Yes I know I could have incorporated it with this one. But I just wanted a new baby and sort of separate the two. I did some hard research. In doing my research I came across some interesting things in blogging. It also helped me to see why this blog became stagnant! Consistency and dedication is the key. So I have now out myself on a schedule for both blogs along with my YouTube channel.

 

I will not forget about this blog because I have some upcoming bridal trials and weddings to share with you all! Thanks for reading and if you are interested I. My nail rumblings please feel free to check out my nail blog.

Here is a lil vanity tour I did last week. My makeup room is stil under construction though! :(.

I'm in the process of getting storage to house my addiction but its costly when you are on a serious budget. But I know once I get my room the way I want it , I will be pleased!

 

Rimmel Stay Matte Primer

 

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was very relaxing. I managed to hit up Walgreens and CVS this weekend and last week.

 

While in Walgreens I saw the display for the Rimmel stay matte foundation and primer. Unfortunately there were not a huge shade selection in the foundation collection but I did pick up the primer. I had also picked up the new covergirl primer as well(I will have a seperate review of that later). Why did I buy two different primers? I have no idea! Lol. I'm just always on a hunt for a great primer for my oily combination skin and really anything to combat a little sweat here and there. But can I tell you all that this primer right here is a winner!!

 

I wanted to wait until I did my haul video to brag on this product but I could not hold my excitement in any longer! Of course the day after buying it I had to give it a go! Immediately I liked the texture of it and could tell by the feel of it that it would pretty much do what it described to do. I will be honest and say that I thought initially it would only hold up for about five hours. Can I tell you that I know I got at least nine full, long hairdresser hours out of this! OMG! Normally during the day I get oily in my T-zone and on a busy day my forehead may sweat and my foundation begins to slip. Well honey, let me tell you!!.....I'm going through my day as normal and around let's say my six hour after putting this on, I was at work and had finally got a break and looked in the mirror and I couldn't believe what I saw. My makeup looked as it did when I put it on first thing that morning! I started to touch my face just to be sure I wasn't crazy...lol and yes it was still in place! I was like WHOA! I really couldn't believe it! I thought about what I had did different to my routine. I had also picked up some of the B6 spray by Urban Decay last week and had spritzed my face with that prior to my moisturizer, the rimmel primer and foundation. So I assumed the combo must have did the job. Well I wanted to see if this was really the case. The following day I used the primer again and my regular moisturizer's(I've been mixing 2.) and the same result. Actually I wore my foundation longer this particular day and didnt take it off till I was ready for bed. I normally take my foundation/makeup off as soon as I get home.

 

I'm really considering going all of them off the shelf before they're gone! I'm just joking! But I do think I need to go get a back up!

 

Price: $4.99 ($1.00 coupon at Walgreens )

Long lasting

I have no cons for this product! I hope they keep it in stock and keep it as a regular item!

Have you tried this primer? If so tell me your experience! If you haven't tried it and your an oily girl like myself don't walk but run to your Walgreens!

 

Fall/winter Bride

 

I'm a little late posting this beautiful bride. At any rate , I had the pleasure of making over this beautiful bride in October of 2013. I really wanted to wait to get the final pics from my bride but decided to post anyway.

 

Products used:

Foundation: Mac prolong wear concealer in nc50 &nc45

Blush:Mac Raisin

Eyes: (all mac unless other wise stated)... Naked lunch, fig 1, embark and uninterrupted

Lips: jordana lip pencil in coco loco and Varneesh lip gloss by MAC(discontinued)

I set her face using MAC MSF in dark

I also did her hair as well and the hair for mostly everyone in the bridal party. Makeup for her bridal party was done by me and my assistant. My assistant and I had to get through a marathon that was happening that same day but made it happen and got the bride and party finished in time with out a delay on her big day! This was by far one of the best brides I'd ever worked with! All my brides are usually easy to work with but she was definitely a pleasure!
