Everyday Lips!

I hope everyone had great holidays! A happy New Year to you too! I had a wonderful Christmas with my awesome family in Indiana, went too fast for sure!! Most of the time we spend up in Indiana is eating and chatting around the kitchen table as well as reading up on tons of magazines! So since I got stuck over the holidays reading TONS of magazines so I pretty much went through every single magazine and made a list of magazine makeup suggestions sold in drugstores. I started first with a lip liner and gloss. I am always looking for a perfect, glossy lip that really pops. I like a natural pop most of the time. Natural pop to me is a nice neutral liner with a pretty, shiny, sheer gloss and I think I've found it!! The lip liner I tried was L'Oreal Infallible Lip Liner in Rose. The liner is great because it's one of those liners that you just twist instead of sharpen which I really love! The liner goes on really smooth and creamy so that means you will get a flawless liner and no mess-ups! I really like the color I think it will be really universal for everyone and any color you use!! It's only around $7.00 you definitely need to go out and get it!!! I paired it with the Rimmel Stay Gloss in Non-Stop Glamour. It'll set you back about $8.00. It goes on so creamy and not sticky at all!! I hate goopy, sticky gloss....gross!!! This one is a beautiful neutral gloss with a tiny splash of color and lots of shimmer which I love!!! I feel like the gloss has a multi-faceted look like there are bits of shimmer throughout the gloss so that really makes your lips pop without looking like you're trying too hard. This is my recipe for a neutral pop-slightly darker than lip color lip liner and a nice shimmery lip gloss and viola!! Try these two out together as a pair they are amazing!!!

Hair Raising Secrets!

Hi!! Ok I want to write about hair! Here are a few little supplements and treatments I do to keep my hair strong. I really love long, beautiful, strong hair and that's what I want myself so here are a few little tips and tricks.

Phyto Phytophanere Dietary Supplements-These little beauties will help fortify your hair. Two of these little natural elements will provide you with nourishing vitamins, essential fatty acids and antioxidants to help your hair grow, strengthen nails, help your skin look radiant, and lengthen your lashes! Not only do these pills add density and shine to your hair, but your overall health will be great!
These little babies you take once a day and I truly believe these have helped my hair a ton! I take two in the morning as well as taking folic acid. Now, I have no idea if folic acid really helps your hair but my grandpa, Pops, takes folic acid every day he told me if I wanted thick, strong hair when I get older then I needed to take folic acid every day. So, like I said I don't know if it does anything but my grandpa has an amazing head of hair so I'm going to take it! Not to mention, if it doesn't really help your hair who cares it's still good for your health! So I take those 2 in the morning. I also take a swig of Carlson's Cod Liver Oil. I get the lemon flavored because let's be honest, you just need to cover up the cod liver oil flavor. So I take a very small sip of that, that's all you need anyways.Cod Liver Oil gives a ton of health benefits as well as gives you great skin and hair. At night I take Biotin which is really great for your hair as well. I think these supplements really help keep your hair and skin tip-top.

Another thing I do is use Phyto's Phytoplleine Universal Elixir. This is a blend of 100% essential oils that will help stimulate and purify the scalp. This blend of essential oils will help energize the hair and will balance your scalp so I truly believe this product is great for everyone. If you have oily hair, this will balance the oil production in your hair, dry hair-this will help produce more oil to balance, itchy, dry scalp-it helps for that, this product helps with it all! This product also helps with thinning hair if that's what you're worried about! All you have to do is put this in your hair, which this bottle has a very easy applicator, leave it on for 20 minutes and then wash your hair like normal. Your hair will smell amazing as well!!!

The good and the bad, in products that is

It has been a while since I have written. The holiday season just rolled up so quickly and I haven't had a moment to even relax and breathe let alone blog! But-I have been trying products out the whole time even though I haven't been blogging lately. Lately I've tried a few things here are two, one is great one is not so great. We will start off with the not so great one so we can end the blog on a positive note!--i dont know what i did to make this blue and underlined!!! oy!

I usually use a yellow concealer to help lighten the dark circles and redness around my nose. I have tried and LOVED the Cover Girl Simply Ageless Anti-aging yellow corrector. I really love it! But it can be a little pricey for drug store brands, it usually runs around $10 or so. But it goes on really creamy and smooth and doesn't dry out your skin and really gives a flawless look to your makeup application. I ran out so I went without the yellow corrector for quite a while but I realized I really needed the yellow corrector. I just didn't have that flawless complexion that I was going for without it. So-I tried this one out: Maybelline Cover Stick Concealer in Yellow. It's about $3.50 and it's really not that great. :( I wish a $3.50 concealer stick was amazing but it's just too drying. I have to do a lot of maneuvering to make my application not look too drying. I really like a flawless finish on the concealer and foundation and this does not cover, conceal or give an even finish that I like. So pass on this one! The concealer that I do use is amazing though! I have written about it before it's the Maybelline Fit Concealer. It is amazing!!!

The other product I tried out lately was the N.Y.C. brow powder and gel. It's called Browser Brush-on Brow kit and it's only about $3.95. It has the brow powder and a gel to hold your brows in place and the color looks amazing on and the gel keeps everything in place.

I have tired a few different brow pencils and I just can't do pencils. I am too heavy-handed and the brows don't look natural. I think it is so much easier to use a brow powder, I know it seems like it's more intimidating to use a powder over a pencil but it's so much easier! Powders last a lot longer and it gives more of a natural brow look! A lot of the other colors I use drugstore brand or higher-end brands are hard to find a good color to match your brows but this one isn't too red or orange and it really is a beautiful natural look! Try it out it's so cheap, will last a long time, give you the pop you need for your face and will keep your brows in place!
