February Favorites

Hi guys,

     Since February is such a short month I had a hard time finding time to sit down and write an actual blog post. So I have made a pact with myself that this month I will blog at least twice a week even if its short and completely pointless. Well on that note now on to my favorite product of this month....


Beauty: 







     I was wandering around Target and I was looking for a new foundation. I had heard quite a lot about this foundation from many of my friends (and all the beauty gurus putting their two sense in didn't hurt either) who can't stop talking about this foundation. I absolutely adore this foundation it is so pigmented but isn't to thick and leaves my skin looking dewy but in a good way. This covers my hyper pigmentation pretty well and blends beautifully into my skin. When wearing this foundation I get so many compliments from people telling me that my skin looks so good. If you would like to see my everyday makeup routine with this foundation leave a comment down below.

Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional






     I have always struggled with gigantic pores as long as I can remember. This makes my makeup look so unflattering on my face when I don't were a primer because the makeup sinks inside my pores and just doesn't look pretty. When trying out this product the first time I was not very impressed because after applying my foundation I still had gigantic pores and it looked no different than if I had not used a primer. But the second times a charm, after watching a helpful YouTube video and finding out I should pat the primer on instead of rub it on face it left my face with an almost flawless looking face. I highly recommend any body with problematic pores to invest in this product.

NYX Cosmetics Butter Gloss






     After many of my favorite beauty gurus raving about this lip gloss I finally caved in and bought it. I love this lip gloss it is such a pretty petal pink nude. This lip gloss is very creamy and pigmented but not  heavy and uncomfortable. This lip gloss is the perfect everyday lip gloss. Plus this lip gloss is so cheap retailing for just $4.99. 

Skin Care:

Olay Fresh Effects {Bright on Schedule} Eye Awakening Cream






     While wondering around the skincare section in Target I stumbled upon this little wonder. This eye cream contains white tea, cucumber, honeysuckle, and a metal tri-ball roller at the tip. This tri-ball metal roller leaves the eyes depuffed because of its cool feeling and the moisturizer rubbed in. This is a great product for mornings when you need to get out the door fast.
     


     I have been a fan of EOS products for many years now and this is just another one of their products I can't seem to stop raving about. First, of the price is great this retails for only $1.99 which is so cheap. Second, this hand cream contains shea butter, oats, aloe, and antioxidants making it super moisturizing. Did I also mention this cream is also paraben-free too? Third, the actual reason I use this hand cream over any other, it isn't greasy and absorbs into my hands so fast.

Tea:

Numi Tea

      I had heard a little bit about Numi Tea before and was always curious to try it but never had the chance to. When my mom came home the other day with a giant envelope filled with Numi Tea from her bosses I was ecstatic. My favorite out of the bunch I have tried so far is the Jasmine Green tea. I love Jasmine tea to begin with because it is very light just like Chamomile but this particular tea is amazing because while being light it contains a very refreshing flavor to it that is delightful. If you enjoy Jasmine tea this is the one you need to try out. 

Stash Tea

     While walking around a Business Center Costco this month I found a six pack of Stash Tea. I was over the moon happy when I found this because a. the boxes had 30 bags of tea in it instead of the usual 20 and b. it was so cheap for 6 boxes of tea I just couldn't resist. The six flavors I got were Green, Chamomile, Chai, Peppermint, Earl Grey, and Black Tea the standard tea flavors. But who say classics aren't fantastic? I have loved every one of the teas in the rotation except for the peppermint which I have never really been a fan of and later gave the box to a friend. Stash teas are a great affordable tea and have many flavor options out there for anyones liking.


Band / Music Group:


     Okay so I have to admit that I am a complete nerd when it comes to all things vocal. I have been studying vocal music for the last 7 years now and it is something I absolutely could not imagine me not doing. The most amazing thing about singing is knowing that everything you sing is coming from your mouth, your body is creating that sweet melody you are hearing. Pentatonix is an A Capella group that started on the Sing Off in 2011, and they recently went on tour and I was lucky enough to see them live. As secretary of my school's A Capella Club and qualified choir dweeb I was so excited to see them. It honestly didn't process into my head that I had seen them until a couple of days after the concert. They are all absolutely amazing vocalist and great performers and I am just so lucky to have seen them. If you would like to check them out click on the link above. 


XOXO,
