January favorites

Hello my beauties. This is my first monthly favorites on the blog and there will hopefully be more to come. A short review of everything and why I loved it will be included. Hope its helpful... So to start off I will begin with my elf primer. This stuff was $6 at target. I had seen on pinterest that it is a close dupe for the smashbox. I would not say it is an exact but it is a great primer for daily use. It has a herbal scent at first but goes away after application. Its great for helping my makeup last a bit longer in the tzone but it does not make my pores completely disappear. Overall great for daily use.   Up next is the fresh sugar lip scrub. I received this as a sample with a Sephora order. I dislike the smell but it is very moisturizing. I just wish it had a better scent. The little grains help plump the lips up a bit and get rid of that dry skin. My lips know they need that badly especially in this cold dry weather. This bb cream by rimmel london is amazin

My Brush Routine...easy and affordable.

        Hey ladies, so I wanted you make your life a little easier and affordable when it come to the chore of brush cleaning. Ughhh we all hate that one right!? If not you might be that one strange one out of the bunch. Those darn dirty brushes can take up a lot of time. I have tried a couple of things but I found these products I am about to tell you about, to have cut that time in half.   First off the products: Save yourself those $30 you would have spent on the sigma matt for a cheaper matt. (A pot holder matt to be exact). I got mines at Walmart for $3. But if you don't have a Walmart nearby or just can not find one there here is an alternative I found on Amazon  (click the link). This little gem has ridges to help the product come off easier. I have had no fall out from my brushes. None of my brushes have been ruined, and I do not need to use a heavy hand.         I have also found this amazing soap by Dr. Bronners .

Too Faced unicorn tears lipstick

      My first too faced lipstick. The price always pushes me away me from buying. But this specific lipstick had me frantically searching my local Ulta and Sephora. I got lucky at Ulta. For a $22 lipstick this is beautiful and totally worth it. At first glance you expect it would go on light blue right? Wrong! You can not even tell it will be a metallic lipstick or that you will even get some pink from it.             When I first saw swatches on instagram I knew I needed this baby in my life. I love unique lipsticks. It goes on a light pink tint topped with metallic blue with a little bit of purple shimmer.  The shine on this baby is unexplainable. Its a lipstick that screams futuristic, artistic and girly all at once in my opinion. I love it. You can not feel the shimmer even after it begins to fade. You even forget your wearing a lipstick.              I just really recommend exfoliating and prepping your lips before so that it applies smoot

New Maybelline vivid matte liquid lipsticks

Soooo I saw these constantly pop up on my instagram feed and many ladies had mixed reviews. I personally like to try products out myself even if I have seen a few bad reviews. We are all different and what someone might not like or find to not work for them can have the opposite effect with you. I'll start off by letting you ladies know where to find them. I have only found them at target, rite aid and walgreens. I picked these two up at rite aid for $7.99 and got lucky because they were having a BOGO half off. Great time to stock up. These are small and packaging is see through, which I appreciate because you get to see what color exactly you are buying.   The two colors that I picked up were berry boost on the left and nude thrill to the right. Nude thrill applied very well but I did find berry boost a little patchy and more difficult to apply. On the lips they feel like butter. You wont get that harsh dryness like you would with some other lippies. Berry boost had ju
