Nykki's mane blog #QWED

HIIII Im here again with the wonderful Question Wednesday blog hop from Nykki's mane blog
This post is all about lips...I couldn't pass this one up being a Lipgloss Junkie and all. ;)





1. Lipstick or Lipgloss?
Lipgloss is what I reach for the most. You can slather it on without looking in a mirror (in most cases). Its finding the right one for you that takes the most time. Some can be sticky.
2. Favorite Lipstick Brand && Why?

I love the NYX Matte lipcreams. They seem to last forever and have great color payoff. I also like clinique lipsticks. They have some pretty colors.
3. How often do you wear lipstick?

A few times a week depending on my makeup look. I'm loving neutral eyes and bright lips :)
4. Must have lip product{s}:

a nice chapstick is always a must. I like the babylips ones because they are a little bit glossy and they do not feel waxy, I also love the Aveda lip saver lip treatment to keep my lips smooth. exfoliating your lips really helps with lipstick to stay on. I usually just use my toothbrush but I have used the Lush bubblegum lip scrub in the past. It works lovely.
5. Current favorite lipstick?

Ive been wearing Aveda Star Coral alot lately, so that would be my favorite for right now. It'll change soon, I'm sure.

Nykki's mane blog Qwed- Eyes!

                                    Question Wednesday

                                                Eyes!!

 
My third question Wednesday from Nykki @Nykki's Mane Blog. Don't forget to check her blog out and join in on this great weekly blog hop! Each Wednesday is a different topic. :)

1. What color are your eyes? If you could choose what color they were what color would that be?
 
My eyes are a mix of brown/green/grey. They change colors on my mood. If i could choose another color I would want to have the color of my moms. She had the most beautiful green eyes.
 
2. Bold Eyeliner, Light Eyeliner, or no eyeliner?
 
Bold for going out at night, light for daytime to add some depth and no liner for days I want a minimal makeup look.

3. What is your go to eye look?
 
I usually stick to taupe and browns for everyday sometimes a little purple. Doing the basic light shade on the lid, darker one in the crease and a highlight. I tend to do a little more highlight in the inner corners because I have really dark circles around that area and I need something to brighten it up though.

4. What brand makes your favorite eyeshadows?
 
Urban Decay has great shadows and the makeup geek ones are great also :)

5. What are your must have eye products?

Mac painterly paint pot or Too faced shadow insurance, mascara, my z-palette full of my favorite shadows of the moment
 
                          Until next week, bye bye
 
 

Lavender Dress

Outfit post from a few weeks ago.

I have been really into clothes that are versatile and that you can just throw on and not have to worry about, another reason why I love wearing dresses so much. You don't have to think about what goes with this top or with this pair of pants, yadda, yadda,yadda, Its already an outfit! Ive noticed that Target has some great dresses and with me being in a pastel faze I picked this lavender one up for $18 USD. oh, and right now they have them on sale for $15USD. There are 12 colors to choose from,if your local target has all of them, if not all colors are online. 

This is a simple little dress that can be great over a bathing suit or you can dress it up and wear it out to dinner.

I wore mine out shopping with a friend that came to visit me from Ohio. I didn't wear anything special with it because I knew I would be taking it on and off while trying on clothes.



The silver bracelet in the top left part of the photo was a gift from my sister in law when I was in her wedding and the beaded bracelets I made with Swarovski Crystals. :) The shoes are pastel pink with butterflies in the middle. Ive had them forever and do not remember the price but know they are from Burlington Coat Factory.

Beach photo from the condo. Was not a sunny day on the beach day, hence the reason for going shopping. :)

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Befine food skin care, Gentle Cleanser

 I have been loving all of the products in my April birchbox  and one of the samples in that box was 2 packets of  Befine food skin care gentle cleanser. With my birchbox points I was able to get the full size for free!!!
                                                        
                                                  Stated on Befine site:
"Benefits: Gently cleanses while invigorating skin and improving circulation.Prevents premature aging as it supports skins collagen and elastin Smooths wrinkles and tightens skin Helps retain moisture leaving skin renewed and refreshed."


When I first opened the packet, I squirted it onto my hand thinking it was more of a cream or gel consistency, well its not, its watery and I ended up squirting half the packet into my hand making it drip down the side of my hand and all over the sink. Wonderful! :/ When I got myself situated and had just a little bit of the product on my hands I began to rub it all over my damp face. The product lathers up great and has a natural mint smell. After rubbing it around my face for about 30seconds or so I rinsed it off and pat dried my face. When I looked in the mirror every ounce of makeup that was on my face before was gone, and my skin felt fresh and clean.
I was really pleased with how well this cleanser worked. I did not have any allergic reactions to it or any over drying or tightening feeling (I hate ones that make your face tight, so I was a bit bumed when it said that it tightens the skin).



Ingredient List
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
They also do not test on animals and the gentle cleanser is good for all skin types

Befine product extracts come from plants and minerals so there are no fillers, artificial colors or fragrances. They are also paraben free.
