Ok Ladies so I know all of us have a Vanity of Lotions and Potions but are we really getting the benefits or are they just looking pretty there.
Some of My items on my Vanity:
Note the Purple Tray from my Naked Palette Packaging! It Perfectly Organizes All my Bottles and the Side for my Garnier Fructis Roller Ball
Some of my Foundations:
Most of you recognize the Makeup Forever and Mac Studio Fix Fluid
My Shade in MUFE is #127 but I think I wasn't matched correctly too light I think . I also found that in Pictures I get a White Cast and see a significant difference between my neck and Face not good!
Mac Shade NC40 I like the coverage but not the Breakouts. I first was exposed to Mac Foundations for my wedding and this was my face after makeup:
I loved the Finish but the little breakouts I had the next day weren't worth it to me.
My mekeup Artist was Amazing overall but not having luck with Mac face products.
Here are the Drugstore Foundations I am in love with right now:
Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation and Neutrogena HealthySkin
My Bare Minerals Matte ( Obviously not Drugstore but forgot to include before)
I really Like how these foundations feel , Blend and the Coverage is awesome. And so far No Breakouts!
My Neutrogena Shade
Wearing Neutrogena Today!
My Rimmel Shade Looks really Dark but I assure you matches completely!
I use this on a daily basis for a quick get up and go and I love the flawless Finish
Now some of my Holy Grail Skincare Items. Recently I became familiar My Pretty Pink Box and I recieved a few of these Items in the Box and they are AMAZING!!!
This is an Amazing Lip Butter. Super Creamy and makes my Lips soooo Soft. This was in my Pretty Pink Box and the company is called Derma Allay

The Next 2 products I use Every Morning and Evening after washing my Face:
Info about this Lotion:
This Luxurious and mild lotion is so mild on your skin we had to classify it as baby lotion. This gentle formulation contains aloe vera, grape seed oil, and coconut oil. Use it every day. Use it everywhere. Works well with all skin types. As this formulation is unscented, it is extremely popular with people who have sensitive skin, allergies, and especially for those who do not want their moisturizer to clash with their perfume.

" If you can't Put it in your Body don't put it on your Body" !!
This Next item was also in my Pretty Pink Box and Has Helped my Skin Significantly:
It has a serum type of feel to it and I put it on right before my Neckid Lotion.

This Bad boy is my got to Pimple Gadget. It administers heat directly to the pimple area. If I use it the minute I feel a pimple coming by the next morning it is virtually gone!
Ok so for some Sad news. My Mac Brush Cleaner:
Ok so I use this to spot clean my brushes as I am using them daily and I find that it doesn't work so well with White Brushes
After several attempts with my Black Eyeshadow :-(
What actually did work thanks to my buddy and fellow Beauty Blogger
www.abrilliantbrunette.com
All White and Completely Spotless. Granted I did wash it and wasn't expecting my Mac Brush Cleaner to be a " Miracle cleaner but no matter how many times I washed it with baby shampoo never would come out!
This is sort of hard to get your hands on because they are based out of London.
I like the Color Selection however you really have to dig in the pans to get the color:
Last but not Least some Hair Treatments and Products I am Loving:
Moroccan Oil aka Argan Oil has been a Godsend for this Curly Head
This priduct smells amazing. It has helped tame my frizz. I had been a Gel and Hairspray girl for nearly 10-12 years. Nothing tamed these locks. Ever since I began using these I cant remember the last time I purchased and Gel or Hairspray! Seriously this is all I put in my Hair!
This is the Deep Repair Mask
It is Incredibly thick and a little goes a very long way. It is a bit more pricey than the average argan oil products. This bad boy will run from $35-$60 so do your research to get a good deal!
See how thick even upside down doesn't run or drip!
Hoping this helps you all Let me know what you would like to see or any advice welcomed!
You look beautiful and I'm sure you'll steel the crowns eyes on your wedding day! I love BE makeup.
Blog hopping around, thought I'd say hi. Hope you'll pop over to my blog as well.
Cheers!
Thanks so much . I am following your Blog I am a " Wife behind the Badge" as well looking forward to reading more!
My skin hates MAC foundations, they always make me breakout!
Youre very beautiful!
I hope you find one that you really like.After years of being a makeup artist. The rule stands true. There are no rules to makeup, only rules of thumb. Nothing called "too anything".I disagree with telling anyone how to wear their foundation/blush/powder/eyeliner/eyeshadow. Makeup is subjective. Everyone has their own makeup style. Many light people tend to go light/lighter or mix it with a luminzer to make themselves brighter/radiant/porcelin like. A great example of this would be dita von teese, who even stays out the sun to maintain her light skintone and wears light foundation. SOme people prefer paler, others darker and sunkissed. But you do what you like and stay beautiful :)
nothing called too anything! i dont know why americans wanna be darker than they are!!! it looks muddy
