March 2014 Favorites

Today's post are my favorite beauty, accessories and fashion picks for the month of March. All of these things I have been wearing a lot during this month and I wanted to share them with you. :)

                                                      BEAUTY FAVORITES:

Nyx Blush in angel~ This blush gives the perfect neutral flush to the cheeks
Mac Cremesheen Lipstick in Morning Rose~ This has been a favorite ever since I bought it! It is a great no brainer, throw on and go lipstick! For swatches see my post HERE
Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette~ So many looks can come from this little palette! For swatches check out my review HERE 

                                                   ACCESSORY FAVORITES:

My boyfriend gave me this watch at the end of December as a birthday present and I have been wearing it a ton since then, especially this month. The weather has been off and on between nice warm days and cold days so I have been able to show off this cute little Michael Kors watch on the warmer days. If you read my Snap
shot Sunday's posts then you have probably seen this watch. Its in pretty much every post.

                                                         FASHION FAVORITES:

Leggings!!! I have been obsessed with leggings and long shirts all month long! My 3 favorite ones are my solid fleece lined black leggings on the colder days, my brown leggings for when I get bored of black and my cosmic leggings to add a little pizazz to my legs. :)

So there you have it, my March favorites! Lets see if I'm still using and wearing the same stuff for April.
What are you favorites?

Valentines Day look

I came up with a very subtle look for Valentines Day. Ive never been big on extremely heavy makeup on special days like this because you want your date to see you and how pretty you can be. Not every situation calls for a smokey black club look ya know, plus some guys HATE all of that eye makeup! All you need to complete this makeup is a cute little white dress with a pink blazer or cardigan on top and some nude,pink or white pumps :). If its a more casual date a pair of skinnys, brown or tan boots and a cream sweater with a pastel floral scarf around your neck would be cute too :) The third photo down shows how I would wear my hair with both of those outfits I just mentioned.

SEPTEMBER FAVORITES
This month has been a little crazy with school and my puppy but I was finally able to take some pictures and do a few post or two so here's what I liked in September:

                                         MAKE-UP

NYX Nude on Nude pallet- This has been my go to pallet of the month, It has some wonderful browns and golds that I can play around with. One day I can do a real subdle look and the next a smokey sexy look. Great buy :)

BENEFIT Creaseless cream shadow/liner-color RSVP. I use this shimmery neutral color as a base for other shadows or I put it all over my lid with a little liner on lazy days

URBAN DECAY Shadow-color STRIP. I have used this one for years it seems to make my hazel eyes pop paired with lots of black eyeliner.

Urban Decay- strip
Benefit- rsvp

MAC BEAUTY POWDER BLUSH- color EVERSUN. This blush has been a few posts that I have done but, I just like it so much. Its a light golden bronze that goes on sheer and can be built up to the perfect shade.

                                                                HAIR

(left to right)

PAUL MITCHELL Hot off the press spray- This is a thermal protector that I have used every time I curled my hair. It smells amazing and leaves my hair feeling soft and the curls stay for a long time!

AVEDA Clove shampoo- This is a shampoo made for brown hair. It enhances warm tones in the hair and has a wonderful earthy clove smell.

                                                      BODY YUMMIES



(Left to Right)

 ALBA BODY CREAM- Scent KAKUI NUT. Very moisturizing and the nutty smell reminds me of fall. It can be slightly greasy if used on hands but as an all over body cream its great

AVEDA OIL- BEAUTIFYING. This oil absorbs into the skin super fast, locks in moisture and has a slight lavender scent. I like to use this after I shave to keep the smoothness or Ill put a few drops into a bath for extra moisture. It also works great all over the body whether its alone or mixed with body cream or lotion.

                                                             FRAGRANCE

AMAZING GRACE- I have no idea how to describe this scent other that its awesome and everyone should own it. It is just a great scent to throw on and run out the door. The smell lasts all day and it is not over powering.

                                                            SHOES

ETNIES CALLI CUT-  They might have discontinued this style. I have had these shoes for years and never really wore them because they are wide and I feel like I look 5inches shorter when I have them on but, when I asked my boyfriend to grab some shoes for me as I was getting Lola ready for the dog park he busts out these. At first I was like really, but I put them on and I forgot how comfy these are and ever since that day I have been trying to find jeans that look right with them because they are that comfortable.

                                                    K-CUP

DONUT HOUSE COFFEE- This is a regular flavor that isn't to strong and goes well with all my different creamer choices I decide on.

                                                      HOME SMELLY

MARSHMALLOW FIRESIDE-  from Bath and Body Works smells like fire roasted marshmallows. Awesome fall scent and when its burning in the cute little owl candle holder its even better. :)

                                              LOLA'S FAVORITE

WOOF WOOF I'm Lola and I'm a spoiled puppy that has been loving this tire toy. I like to stick my arms through the tire hole so I can get a better grip while I chew on the green ropes. WOOF WOOF
