My Beauty Favorites!

I have been so excited about this post I could almost burst! These are things beauty wise (hair, face, and make up) that I have been loving lately!

Make up:

First of all i would like to talk about my long time favorites which have been Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer and Urban Decay's Naked Palette.
The eyeshadow primer s literally the BEST eyeshadow primer I have ever used. My makeup can stay on for days (yes, I have tried it and yes I know its bad). There is literally no smudges or creases in your eye makeup when you wear this. I can sweat and my eye make up will still be on. It is beautiful. You can find this here for $20. I use the original one.
The Naked Palette. Now this is the greatest eyeshadow palette in my opinion. I have used my palette for about 3 years and I still use the same one to this day. I have tried other eyeshadow palettes but nothing honestly compares to Urban Decay's eyeshadow. My favorite colors out of this palette are Virgin (which I use for highlights), Sin and Sidecar (which I use all over my lid), and Buck (I use this for my crease). They also have Gunmetal and Creep that are great for a smoky eye!! Overall I have been loving this palette for years and I recommend it to anyone who wants a good eyeshadow palette and willing to drop the money. You can find it here, Ulta, and Sephora for $54. Sometimes Ulta has a coupon or something you can use so look out for that!

Another make up product I have been absolutely in love with lately has been the Benefit They're Real mascara. I ditched Urban Decay's Lush Lash for this stuff and I LOVE IT!!! It makes my lashes so long and full! I also love the UD mascara but this doesn't clump as bad which is always a good thing. The application is really smooth and I really like it! You can get it here, Ulta, and Sephora for $23 dollars.

Hair:

A hair product I absolutely love is Its a 10 leave-in conditioner. It makes my hair SO soft and it also works as a great detangler and heat protectant.  I have really thick and really fine hair and so sometimes I find my hair really hard to brush out. With this stuff I never have an issue. They sell this at Target and Ulta.  It ranges from $18-$36. You can view it here.

Beauty:

FACE WASH! I cannot tell you about how much I love washing my face! Anyway I find myself changing my face wash often. I recently found one I love and have been using a ton! Its Biore Deep Charcoal Cleanser.  You can find this at almost any drugstore. I love this stuff so much! It draws out the deep oils so my face literally never gets oily! My forehead is where I mostly get the most oily and now I don't have that problem! I also love the tingly feeling it gives after you rinse it off! Its such a great cleanser and I have turned many people on to it.  It's the cheapest at Target being $6.

So I hope some of you enjoyed this! If you have any comments or anything else just leave them in the comments section and I'll make sure to answer your questions, comments, etc. I know most of my products are expensive but they honestly last a while and are totally worth the money. I'm a baller on a budget so when I need any kind of expensive product I make sure its good and will last me a while.

You are all beautiful! c:

So what exactly is going to be posted on this blog and a little bit about me!

First of all I need some people to have an interest in this, but I feel like if some people decide that they love this blog that they will tell their friends and so on...
I feel like I need a plan for this blog. If I don't have a plan and set whatever is going to be on it and when stuff is going to be on it, then it will not be successful or I will be negligent to post. Anyway, this is how its going to work for now.
At the end of the month I will post a favorites post. What my favorites have been for the month etc.
I will try at least once every week to post a review on something new I am trying or have tried. I will rate it and talk about it and also post prices and where to buy it if I like it.
Through out the month I will be posting little random things that I find cool or something encouraging. Everyone always needs some encouragement, am I right?
I may also eventually post hauls etc.
If I also find some super cool sales I will post about them here too!


So know that I've kinda laid out what is going to be posted on this blog, I will let you know a little about myself. I am a 20 y/o college student at the University of Memphis and I am part of the Alpha Gamma Delta sisterhood. I really love art, fashion, and make up/beauty. I also have a bit of a shopping addiction. I love all things cute and glittery. I am also into helping people and making people feel good and confident about themselves.  Everyone is awesome in their own individual way and I just want everyone to know that.
I also have a cat named Mowgli who is SO incredibly spoiled. (I may have lil posts about him to, because he's just too adorable not to post!!!!!)
I'm also very bad at talking about myself. So I guess this wraps it up!

Even if people don't like this blog, it is something for me to do and something I've kinda always wanted to do since I was in middle school. I just didn't think anyone would read it or like it. I hope the people that do read this blog enjoy it and maybe find it helpful or encouraging!

So I've always wanted to do this....

Literally since people ask me sometimes like what I use on my hair or what make up I use etc. I thought I would make a little blog about it. It usually changes a lot because I love trying new things for beauty products and just other products in general. I don't really consider myself a beauty guru, but I do know my stuff! Well at least I would like to think I do since some people ask me advice. I will also be posting other things on here. I don't know, this is honestly just giving me something to do.
