April Favorites

Hey guys!

Hope you all enjoyed the month of April! The weather in Eugene has been quite unpredictable and cold, but with the blooming flowers, campus has never looked so beautiful! Enough about the weather and Eugene, let’s get to the good stuff. Earlier this month a few friends and I went to the local Walmart. I have only been to Walmart a few times and never really bought anything. This time I went crazy in the beauty department. They have really low prices and products you may not find everywhere. I may not have mentioned this yet, but most of the items I feature will be drugstore products that I find to be high quality. I want to make sure that the everything is affordable and worth the purchase. If I  share some high end products it’s only because I feel it is completely worth it. Now lets get into my favorites for this month.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation:

This product has completely changed my life! It is my all time favorite foundation because it’s really light and looks natural on the skin. When I wear this I feel like my skin is glowing and the best part is that it lasts all day, even after I workout. The only downside is that Rimmel doesn't sell this product in the U.S as far as I know. In fact, a good friend of mine purchased my bottle during her trip to London. Have no fear though, this item can be purchased online on asos.com. It is a little bit more expansive online, but it is totally worth it! I’m sure that I  will be using this foundation forever!

NYX Eye Shadow Base:

I

Have any of you applied eyeliner to your upper eyelid and later noticed that it had rubbed off on the crease of your eyelid? Or has your eyeshadow faded or separated into chunks after a while? This was common problem for me before I found this product. I always had to check my makeup to make sure it didn't melt off or spread. The NYX Eyeshadow Base is a primer that you apply on your eyes before applying eyeshadow and or liner. It not only brings out the color of the shadow, but it makes sure that the shadow stays all day without creasing. It also helps to eyeliner to stay on without spreading. This product lasts forever and can be found at any ULTA store.

Wet and Wild: Walking on Eggshells palette 380B:

This is a perfect basic palette! This is my go to when I'm running late and just want a natural look. I also love how it tells you exactly where to apply each shadow. Every girl needs this! It’s affordable, easy to use and looks beautiful with every eye color. I honestly can't say anything more other than to tell you  to go buy this palette right now!

Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal :

This mascara just came out this month, so I thought I would try it out. This is a good everyday mascara. It adds length to lashes and really brings out each individual lash. I call it a everyday mascara because it doesn't make lashes look artificial and overly full, which I usually aim for during the weekend when I'm going out. I also enjoyed the brush on this because it was big and good for really getting every lash. Also this mascara doesn't flake throughout the day which I appreciate and it comes right out when I wash it off at night, without losing all of my lashes.

Nude by Rihanna:

I bought the Rihanna Nude body spray for $8.00 at Walmart! It smells incredible, it’s very sophisticated and light. With it’s floral hints and a touch of amber it’s the perfect scent for summer!. Like any body spray it doesn't last for long periods of time so it is completely appropriate to spray excessively. Luckily the scent isn't suffocating and can be worn both day and night. Rihanna gets a A+ on this one AND $8.00 for a 8 fl oz bottle?! Who can say no to that.

Ed Sheeran Sing:

Also this month I am loving Ed Sheeran's new song “Sing”! This is a little different than his previous music style, but I love it. This song will definitely be on replay this term. Enjoy!

March Favorites!

Hey guys!

I am very excited (to tell you all about my March favorites.) I absolutely love the month of march because not only was it my birthday month, but it was also the Persian New Year and the official arrival of spring! I know that many of you are thinking it isn't even March anymore, but I just couldn't skip my favorite month :(.  I want to share with you all some new products I tried out and loved. These are products I've used over the years that I always come back to them because they are that amazing. So let’s begin!

Maybelline Baby Lips Dr Rescue:

I've heard so many great things about Maybelline's Baby Lips, but just haven't tried it until recently. I got this for my birthday this year in the color 40 Pink Me Up. This product is not only super hydrating, but it also comes in really cute colors! If you aren’t feeling bold enough for bright colors there is no need to worry with this product. I have to say don't let the bright colors fool you, it actually appears really light on your lips. I will say though the Dr Rescue collection doesn't smell fruity like the others it smells similar to Carmax to me, but it is still one of my favorite hydrating lip balms this month.

Philosophy Beach Party Lip Gloss:

I'm not a huge lipstick kind of girl, so most of the time you will see me with just a clear gloss on. Philosophy is one of my favorite brands for lip gloss. It goes on clear and is really sticky, it stays on my lips for a while. The thickness of the gloss definitely makes my lips feel more plump. The best part is each one comes with a cute Philosophy on it! Not only does this product come in array of colors, it also tastes yummy too! I wouldn't recommend just eating it though! This item is great for when you are just going out and want a little extra vavoom added to your makeup. Oh did I mention this product lasts FOREVER! It's incredible I still have the first one I ever purchased two years ago and still love it!

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner:

A good friend of mine introduced me to this product. I personally have really thick hair and my ends are super dry. I use this product religiously because of my hair type. Every time I shower I put a fair amount of this on my ends and wait 3 minutes to wash it out. This product is truly a miracle!! My hair instantly feels nourished and smooth after using it. I would recommend this to everyone who suffers with dry damaged hair. For those who may not have  damaged  hair like I do I would recommend using it just 1-2 a week. Just a tip for any kind of conditioner, try to avoid using it on your roots, because it will make your hair oily and dry up your scalp.

Vince Camuto Travel Size Perfume:

This perfume was a gift I got for my birthday and I'm loving it! I can’ t get enough of travel size perfumes. Not only is it cheaper, but I can afford to buy all my favorite scents. If you are like me and get sick of scents quickly this will be a good trick to use. The Vince Camuto scent is my favorite right now because it has strong floral scent similar to Flower Bomb. The bottle is small and fits perfectly into my handbag and I can travel with it without a worry.

Loreal Voluminous Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara:

I have an obsession with good mascara, I think it is the most important part of completing a look. I'm always trying out new mascaras and this is one of few I keep coming back to. This lengthens my lashes and makes them look really full! This mascara just glides on and has a few clumps. I only use non waterproof mascara because I find it is easier to wash of at the end of the day and doesn't pull out my lashes. I recommend this for everyone, I'm from rainy Oregon and have no serious trouble with my mascara coming off.

First Post!!!

Hey Guys! 
I'm excited to finally start my own blog. As many of you know I've wanted to do this for a long time, but have been a little apprehensive. I've settled into college and now have a little bit more time on my hands to keep up with this blog. My goal with this blog is to share some of my favorite beauty products and trends with you guys. From a young age I developed a strong fascination with makeup, I was often the girl begging her friends to let her give them a makeover. Now my friends come to me for the latest trends in beauty and fashion, which honestly is so humbling and exciting. I absolutely love it! Now my friends and really anyone can check out the products I'm loving each month. Even though I will be mostly posting about beauty products, I will also be updating on other things in my life as well a favorite song or movie who knows I'm might even share something exciting that happened that month or is coming up. I will post my favorites of each month and little updates if I can find the time. Who knows where the direction of my blog will go I just hope you guys enjoy it and find it helpful. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you will come back and even subscribe!
