Philosophy Sale!

Hey guys! So Philosophy is having a sale with a special discount code and I wanted to share it!

Highlighters/Luminizers

I wanted to share with you guys some of the highlighters I own and kind of talk about each of them. It can be hard to choose a highlighter because you want a nice glow without chunky glitter. Not to mention you want to choose a highlighter with the right undertone for you skin.

Lime Green Cut-Crease

This look is just a bright lime-green cut-crease look.  I felt like going bright because the lime green matches our food truck that we own and we had an event the night I created the look :)

Tea Tree Oil and it's Many Uses

Lately one of my favorite things (besides my new Tarte palette!) is Tea Tree Oil! It's such a small and simple item but it has sooo many uses that I just can't get enough of it!

Tarte Rainforest After Dark Palette Look #2!

As I said before, I'm lovvvving this palette so here's another look created with it!

Tarte Rainforest After Dark Palette

So I'm loving the new Tarte Rainforest After Dark Palette so naturally I had to create a look using it!

About Me :)

I love anything and everything beauty related.  I think makeup can be a great form of self expression and is something that is fun.  I don't see makeup as a way for people to hide their true self but to bring that forward! I consider makeup an art form and therefore however you choose to wear your makeup, is great! 

I never went to school for beauty so everything I'm sharing with you guys is just my own personal thoughts and opinions.  I am a very positive person so even if there's a product that I'm not the biggest fan of I try to say at least one thing I like about it just because I know there's people out there that will probably love the product while I didn't.

I also talk about skin care and organic treatments.  By no means am I a doctor or anything even close! lol I just like to share my thoughts and opinions with you guys, especially if I find something that works for me. 

I do have a section related to hair and I can tell you guys right now, I suck at doing my own hair!  I'm going to try to work on coming up with new styles and try to post more in the "hair" category because I know that's probably something you guys are interested in! 

If you have any questions or suggestions for reviews, products, looks, anything at all, let me know below! :) 

Classic Pin-Up

This looks is a classic pin-up makeup look.  I love pin-up make-up becuase it's so feminie with a focus on winged liner and bright red lips, it never goes out of style! 

Red Lips

  Here's a look at some of my favorite red lipsticks :) Also short reviews on the lipstick!

1. Becca Ultimate Matte Lip Colour-Aurora 

   My favorite red out of them all! Love this 

   candy apply red color and how it leans more 

   orange than blue.

Extensions!

Extensions are a great way to change up your hair! They give you thicker hair, longer hair, and now you can even play with color by getting hombre extensions.  For me, I use extensions for thickness and length.  My hair is very fine, and even though it's long, it thins out on the fragile ends so that's why I love to wear extensions.  They give me the thickness I'm looking for while slightly lengthening my hair.  My hair also doesn't hold a curl very well but the extensions do so they also help my hair stay curly while I wear them.

Makeup Brushes: Sedona Lace

Hey everyone so today I'm going to give you my thoughts on Sedona Lace's Brushes!  I will say that I have tried several different brands of brushes however these do not include Mac or Sigma because  I was on a budget at the time I purchased my brushes.

How I Treated My Eczema Organically

I want to share with you guys how I organically treated my eczema. I know everyone may not be able to relate to this post because not everyone has eczema, psoriasis, or other skin issues, however this may be able to help you if you get a rash, a bug bite, poison ivy etc. because the 

stuff I used is pretty universal for skin care.  These products can help solve many issues and if they can solve the toughest of skin problems (my eczema) then I'm sure they'll also be able to help with less severe problems.  (I'm not claiming that this will treat your eczema or other skin conditions, I'm just sharing what worked for me).  

252 Ultimate Palette

Continuing with the reviews on the affordable products, we're going to take a look at the Coastal Scents 252 Ultimate Palette.  I wanted to give you guys my thoughts on this palette because it offers so many eyeshadows at a really great price.  But of course we want to know, is it worth it and how are the quality of the eyeshadows.  

My Current Hair Care Routine

Hey everyone so today I'm gonna share with you the products that I use for my hair.I want to start off by saying that I

have very oily hair and usually have to wash it everyday if I'm going to be styling it.  However with some of these products I've found that it keeps the shine away for an extra day which I've never had before. Also want to add that all product I use are free of sulfated and parabens.

My Skin Care Routine (Organic)

During pregnancy I switched over to a completely natural and organic skin care routine.  I am now 4 months Post Partum and I would never go back to what I was doing before! 

Matte Obsessed!

One of my obsessions has to be matte eyeshadows.  I think they are so classic and can be used in any situation from a daytime natural look to a smokey, sultry nighttime look.  I like that they tend to look airbrushed because there's no chunky glitter and they almost give a soft focus effect to your eyes! So I just wanted to share with you some of my eye shadow palettes that are either all matte or have lots of mattes in them.     (Tarte Top, Urban Decay Bottom) 

BH Cosmetics Take Me to Rio Palette

This is the second palette I wanted to review that's at a more affordable price.  It's the BH Cosmetics Take Me to Rio Palette and it retails on BH for $19.95 (but is often on sale for under $10!)

The Palette comes with 30 eyeshadows both matte and shimmer.  They are all bright colors with a pearly highlight shade and an eyeliner shade on the bottom.  

First what I like about this palette is the packaging and the colors.  The front of the palette has an awesome "carnival" type theme to it and it just looks pretty in my collection! (has anyone ever been suckered into buying just because of the packaging?? Happens to me all the time! ) The palette is sturdy and has a magnetic closure.  I love the variety of colors in this palette and the variety of finishes.  For every color of the rainbow there's a matte and shimmer finish which offers great versatility.  

BH Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Palette

So I wanted to do some reviews for you guys on some affordable eye shadow palettes.  We're going to start of with the BH Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Palette.  

This palette comes with 18 different shades each named after something space related (sun, earth, mercury, comet etc).  The eye shadows are baked eyeshadows with multiple colors in each shadow making each shade very unique.

All Coral Everything!

Again this look is inspired by summer and its bright colors! I used all coral products on the eyes cheeks and lips. Loving this lip color by Illamasqua! 

Bronze, Glowy Summer Makeup

For this summer look I kept things pretty light as far as foundation and eye makeup go....I bronzed it up with my favorite bronzer and added some extra highlighter for and even brighter summertime glow! (I used an eyeshadow as a highlight!) :) 

Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer Review

Hey guys so I want to review the Tarte Maracuja Creaseless concealer for you.  This concealer is def my HG concealer! I couldn't live without this stuff because it hides my dark circles perfectly.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Full Coverage Foundation Review

This is one of my favorite foundations!  Basically I'm going to explain to you guys why I love this stuff and why it has been an HG product for me. (Can't you tell, I've squeezed the life out of that tube!)

1. The coverage:  it's build-able!  I  have freckles and I can still see my freckles when I apply this lightly. If I'm going for a more full coverage look you can easily build it up without it looking cakey at all.
