Empties

Over the past several months I have used various products up-makeup all the way to food....

Here is what I'm digging at the moment.....

Makeup:

Can't get enough of Covergirl's- Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation.  I have purchased this product a few times over and talked about it a few times. I'm in the shade Classic Ivory.  This is by far the best foundation out there. It provides the best coverage ever. (covers up dark spots).   I love the fact that it has a pump-for easy application.  The only downfall to this product, is that there is always product that is still left in the bottle, that won't pump out.

Tip: Use a Beauty Blender to apply






Marc Jacobs Lip Lock in Makeout is a great moisturizing balm. I purchased this product at Sephora twice now.  However, the second one that I purchased online has a weird texture and it's almost like it had melted once.  I will be purchasing it again, since the first one I had was just fine. It has very sleek packaging and doesn't even feel that it's just a balm.  Totally worth the money!








I have VERY long days at work and always want my makeup lasting the entire day, if not even longer.  I have been using Urban Decay's All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray for over a year now and couldn't be happier with the results.  It feels light enough on your face that you don't feel you are adding an extra layer. I haven't found any other brands who have comparable products. I recently picked up a duo set at Ulta of a full size bottle and a travel size one.  It was a great value.

Now what do I use to get rid of all that makeup at night???  Clean & Clears-Night Calming Makeup Remover Wipes.   Now when I first saw these advertised I thought, I don't have acne, I don't need to use Clean & Clear products.  Boy was I wrong!  I am completely obsessed with these wipes. Not only do they make my face feeling clean, they actually take a away almost all, if not ALL of my face makeup. This is another product that I'll be buying for a long, long time.

Just like you, I try out a lot of different shower gels.  While watching oodles amount of Youtube videos I came across the brand-Love & Toast.  This brand can be found at Ulta.  They have the best shower gel by far.  My favorite scent and actually the only one that I have tired is- Sugar Grapefruit. Another added bonus from this product is the cute packaging.








Health:

I will have to admit I'm not the healthiest person in the world.  With that being said at age 30, I decided to start taking a multi vitamin and what could be better than incorporating gummy like candy into that!  I picked up the Vita Fusion brand at Target and couldn't be more pleased with how they taste.  I have also notice my energy level during the day pick up.....so they actually do work :)










Junk Food: Now that's fitting after the health section :)

I"m a sucker for a good cookie and when I saw these two cookies in the store I knew I had to try them.  Now, the mint one wasn't as good as I thought it would be, but still fab.  However, the Peanut Butter Cup Oreo is amazing!  My only suggestion would be to use the actual peanut butter that they use in the peanut butter cups. Both are still fab and would repurchase in a heart beat.






Hope you enjoyed my favorite empties.  What kind of products have you guys been loving?  Any suggestions?

Sephora Haul

I've been stuck with the winter blues recently, so I decided to do a little beauty online shopping spree to prepare for spring (if it ever gets here!).


I stuck with some favorite brands and products and then also purchased a few new ones. I normally don't go this crazy with online shopping, but it actually felt good to get some new things and treat myself.


One item that I re-purchased was the Marc Jacobs Lip Lock Moisture Balm.  This has been my holy grail product this winter. I cannot say enough about this balm. It gives great protection, without having your lips feel greasy.  I guess the only downfall, is that there isn't too much product in the tube, so it makes it seem like you use it pretty fast.  It's well worth it though.  I keep mine at home, on my vanity.  It's too pricey to throw in my purse. http://bit.ly/1bX64me 

Did I really need a new Beauty Blender?  No, but how could I pass up one in the color of the year!  It seems to have a different feel to it, than the original.  However when submerged under water it still doubles it size.  Can't wait to use it! http://bit.ly/1dgJn7b

Anti-Aging??  Come on! I'm only 30!  Yes, I broke down and picked up the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Anti-Aging. I've been lucky to not show too many signs of aging yet. However, I want to be pro-active.  When I twisted the cap off, I expected to have a wand to apply the product, but it looks like you just apply with your finger tip.  Not the cleanest way to do it, but hopefully it will do the trick! http://bit.ly/1fIS6zT

I normally don't spend a lot on nail polish, however last year I splurged on some Deborah Lippmann polish and decided it was time to purchase another one.  I love her polish and I'm a little bummed out, because I didn't take into consideration that I had already purchased a blue hue one from her. Oh well!  I wanted a great color for spring.  I picked up the shade-Blue Orchid. http://bit.ly/1fk0niC

Finally the last product that I picked up was a hair brush.  I've heard a lot of people talking about the "Wet Brush", however I couldn't find it anywhere around where I live, so I just decided to search for one on Sephora.  The original version didn't come up in the results, however the brand DryBar has one called "Lemon Drop".  This brush is amazing!  It can be used on both wet and dry hair.  Just the perfect detangler brush. http://bit.ly/1jY6pHS

I would have to say this was a very successful online shopping experience. I also got universal atomizer, make that 2 in fact!  Originally they are $16 or so.  These were on clearance for $7 each.  Unfortunately, I think they are sold out of the one in clearance, but still have the full price one in pink. http://bit.ly/1nX0Tm0


Let me know what beauty items you are picking up this spring.  Remember to always Treat Yo Self!
