Archive for the ‘Favorites’ Category

Another month, another excuse to shop so I can make an awesome favorites video! I gotta admit, this may be my favorite kind of video to make, because feel I like it justifies my shopping habit. Nothing quiets a shopping killjoy better than saying “hey man, it’s for my job!” Really though, I don’t shop for pleasure, I shop to keep my readers and viewers informed. It’s more like a labor of love, really. Not convinced, huh? Ya, neither was anyone else hahaha.

In any case, here’s what I loved for the month of April!

Products Mentioned:
Aveeno POSITIVELY RADIANT Intensive Night Cream $16.99
CoverFX Mattifying Primer with Anti-Acne Treatment $38
Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo Metal 24 Hour Cream Gel Eye Shadow- Inked in Pink, Gold Rush – $6.99
Aqualillies for Tarte Amazonian clay waterproof eye and cheek palette $38
NYX Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencil- Peacock $4.99
NYX Glam Liner Aqua Luz Collection – Glam Azure $5.50
L’Oreal Infallible 24 Hour Eyeshadow – Smoldering Plum, Midnight Blue $7.95

I’ve been splurging a little more than usual lately, hence the abundance of MAC products in my favorites this month. I don’t feel too bad, since I tend to only splurge once or twice a season. Plus it’s just way too much fun!
Check out the video below to see all the good stuff I got, in addition to some new Olay facial towelettes that are so rough I’d rather use them to scrub my sink than wash my face.

Hello my darlings!

I know I’ve been absent for a bit, but this flu season has struck me with a vengeance so it’s been hard to keep up with my beauty blogging duties. I’m back to 100% now, so expect an onslaught of posts in the coming weeks as I get caught up on the pile of products that has taken over an entire corner of my already teeny apartment. Up first, however, is the matter of my favorite products for the month of January. A few of these will come as no surprise to you as I’ve been raving about them incessantly (L’oreal Total Repair 5, perhaps?), so check out the video below and see what made the cut!

Happy New Year my darling readers! I’m in the midst of getting ready for the big night tonight but had to post a last video to cap off 2012. I originally planned on doing a NYE tutorial but decided it would be more beneficial to you all if I did a video on my favorite beauty products of the year instead. I figure since I test sooooo many new products every month you guys might wanna see what has made it into my permanent roster, what I still hate and what I think is worth your money.

I meant to post this blog a few days ago but had to hold off due to complications caused by my ultra-fail editing skills. But now, after three uploads it is here, my lovely readers! This month the focus was mainly on hair products since I’ve been so concerned with the health of my hair curls lately, but I had to throw a few fun make-up items as well to keep things interesting.

As always, I will list the products, prices and where you can get them below. I don’t if I’m being helpful, or a shopping enabler but either way I love you <3
