CoverGirl TruBlend Primer

Hey Guys!


Today I wanted to discuss covergirl primer. I have combo skin that can be more on the dryer side during the colder months but I didn't want the one for dry skin to make my face get oily after a full day. This primer feels like a lotion but not as wet which makes it easy to apply and soak into the skin. For being a drug store primer I was so shocked that I ended up liking it as much as I do. I mean this is just an all around good primer that even beats out some of the higher end ones that I have used in the past.


This primer helps with the longevity of my foundation that I am currently using without making my face get oily after a long day. I still do set this foundation but I do that on days I have gone without this primer and I can tell a big difference. Primer is a step that I don't think I can live without doing after seeing how great my make up looks and last throughout the day. Since it is a full drug store routine I have been doing recently I am loving the results.

Lush

Hey Guys!


Today I wanted to talk about some products I bought at Lush. This is one of my favorite stores to get my bath products. They make everything fresh with no animal testing which is great.



This lotion has been a life saver since the cold weather had been making my skin extra dry. The smell is very fresh and not overpowering. 


I have been using this scrub for years. It is amazing to exfoliate your body and is mental enough to use on your face. It does not make the skin feel dry like most scrubs do but instead it leaves the skin fresh and moisturized. 


Lastly I couldn't leave without getting a bath bomb. They are amazing for those nights when you want to pamper yourself. Leaving your skin feeling like you just put lotion I love treating myself to a lush bath every now and than.

Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation

Hey Guys!


I know two Maybelline post in one week! I had to give dream velvet foundation a review because I have been using it on a daily basis!! I went to Ulta a few weeks ago and once I tried this foundation I knew that I had found my new favorite drug store foundation. This is big for me because I am a HUGE high end foundation girl. With that being said I still love to try out new products but nothing has ever blow me away from the drug store. Until this one! I have tried using it with my hands, beauty blender and my foundation brush and I have found that my It Cosmetics 106 brush gives me that flawless look. The coverage can be built to more full coverage and it does so without making the face look caked on. By the end of the day my face still looks nice and is not oily.



With Valentines Day coming up I have thought about the look I will be going for and I know that this foundation will be my go to. Let me know what is yours in the comments below.

Maybelline Master Conceal

Hey Guys!


Hope you are having a great start to your week. Today I wanted to talk about this new concealer that I got about three weeks ago. It is maybelline master concealer and it has been used every day! I know that I am late on trying this product. This is amazing drug store or not. I would compare this to my NARS concealer. This does not crease after a full day as long as I set this with power. Even without setting it I love the coverage that this has and how it makes my face looks.




All in all this concealer is a must have for everyone. The price tag makes it even better! Recently I have been buying a lot of drug store products and so far I haven't really been let down. Let me know in a comment what drug store products you have been loving.

Valentines Day For Him

Hey Guys!


Hope you're having a great week! Valentines Day is coming up faster than we know it and this post I am going to talk about some gift ideas for that special guy in your life.

For a small gift you can not go wrong with a swell bottle; this is perfect for everyone in the family. This would be perfect for that guy that has a long drive to work and likes to drink coffee. This will keep it hot for longer.

Every man needs a nice wach that they can wear on special occasions. Normally men will get us that special piece of jewelry and this year I have decided that I will be doing the same for my boyfriend. We will be going on a cruise this summer and I think this will be perfect for the evenings.

These earbuds are perfect for that guy who loves to go to the gym. They are small enough and have no cord to get in the way when working out. They also stay in your ear better than the traditional earbuds and are not huge like the over the ear ones.

I think some of the best gifts are the ones that you make yourself. Scrap book is a very meaningful gift and I know anyone would appreciate the time and energy you have put into the gift.

What ever you do this Valentines Day I hope you have an amazing day full of love and chocolate ;)

Valentines Day For Her

Hey Guys!

Hope your week is starting off well! I will be talking about some gift ideas for Valentines Day for that special women in your life. Whether this is for your mom, sister, girlfriend or wife I have some ideas that she will love.

Hunter Rain Boots: These are on my wish list. They are perfect for any girl in your life. I would recommend boot socks, they give them a more unique look and of course make them more comfortable.

Bose Speaker: I got this for Christmas this year and I have been using it every day since. It is perfect for the house and even if you have your own office at work and want to listen to some music. It is very light weight so it is very easy to travel with.

Swell Bottle: I cannot say enough good things about this bottle! I was amazed when I first got it; it really does keep your drink cold for 24 hours. Best part is it doesn't condensate so it is perfect for work so I do not ruin my computer. I even keep one on my nightstand and I am able to wake up and have a ice cold drink of water without having to go to the kitchen. This bottle is the best!

Tiffany and Co ring: I love how simple this ring is yet shows that special someone how you feel. I don't think you can beat the price for this adorable ring. You can even add a special touch and get the inside engraved with your initials or anniversary.


No matter how you spend your Valentines Day I hope it is filled with love (and chocolate ;)).
