Glo Minerals Look & Review

Happy November everyone! Glo Minerals was kind enough to send me their new Cream Stay Shadow Sticks and Precise Micro Browliner last month, and let me tell you they are not playing games! These shadow sticks last ALL DAY LONG! They don't crease and look amazing even after a full day of running around and being in the FL heat. I am thoroughly impressed with the pigment and sheen of these beautiful shadows! The shadow sticks are great to take from day to night as the shadow is buildable and easily taken to the next level. These are the perfect addition to my makeup bag for the fall and winter months!

Below is a look I created using the shades Gold Blush and Beam, hope you enjoy!

Getting Sassy with KRZA by Krystle Dawn

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I'm already ready for this weekend and it's only the end of this weekend! Sometimes I feel like I'm living for the weekend, but what can you do, right? So about a week ago I became a Fall Rep for KRZA by Krystle Dawn, I'm already enjoying her products! Krystle makes these fabulous contemporary head bands, that are super comfortable and chic! I love that these pieces give an extra bit of sass to any outfit whether more of a going out look or a laid back one, her pieces step up your style just that much more!

Fall Inspired Make-up Look

Sticking with my recent fall theme, I wanted to share my make-up look from my latest fashion post! I've been getting a lot of questions about what products I use as well as how did I achieve this warm smokey look. Below I will be sharing a kind of step by step of how to get this look as well as the products my best friend and I used to achieve this look! 

First things first-

You moisturize my face as well as prime it. Then apply foundation and concealer as well as fill in your brows.

Next start working on those smoldering golden smokey eyes by applying a goldish tone to the crease and working it up towards the brow, blend, blend, blend.

Still building on the eyes take a more orange based color and blend that into the crease as well, blending and starting to blow it out, still leaving your lids bare.

Now to take those colors to the lid. Apply those more goldy tones to the lids. Then go in with a darker brown and working on the outer v of your eyes giving a winged shadow affect. Take those colors to your bottom lash line as well and really blend it to give the shadow a blown out look.

Finally apply a thick cat eye with your blackest liquid liner, coat your lashes with mascara, and if your feeling bold apply some falsies! Give your inner corners a little bit of highlight as well!

Once that is all done go in with a natural looking contour and blush to keep the rest of your face natural since the eye and lip are a main focus. Completely finish the look by lining the lips, then go in with a cranberry or deep burgundy liquid lipstick!

Review: Valentia Night Revive Retinol Serum

I have an awesome new product to tell you all about! I have been testing out the Night Revive Retinol Serum from Valentia. I must admit I have very sensitive skin so I am always skeptical to try new things on my face, however this product did not let me down. Everything is attests that is will do it does. This serum is to help diminish wrinkles, stimulate collagen, improve skin tone, manage breakouts, and condition skin. I'm in my early 20's and these things are important to me, I want to age gracefully and great skin care is one of the best ways to do that! Growing up I dealt with a lot of skin issues. I of course had blemishes and also fought with my skin as it was prone to severe breakouts and sensitivity as well as having combination skin so the struggle is real! This product from Valentia is great and I recommend it to anyone struggling with any of the issues above, you won't regret taking a chance and trying out this product no matter what skin type you have!

Check out Valentia!

Review: Target Beauty Box

Target Beauty Box! Yes our favorite store has jumped on the subscription beauty box craze and let me tell you it does not disappoint! The September box came with 7 products, three of which were full size products and the rest deluxe samples! This is already worth the $10, as well as every product was great! Below is the list of products found in this month's box and what I thought!

OGX- Renewing Coconut Milk Conditioner

This is a great everyday conditioner. It leaves hair feeling hydrated and smooth, smells wonderful as well! 

S.W. Basics- Organic Lip Balm

I don't usually wear lip balm but this is great and feels nice on your lips. I put it on before bed and it helps moisturize and heal my lips!

Maybelline- The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara

This mascara is absolutely awesome! The name speaks for itself, lashes look long and fluffy and it gives drama to your eyes without looking overdone.

Rimmel- The Only 1 Lipstick in Best of the Best

I love Rimmel lipstick and this one is no different. Lip products that have a harsh smell aren't my favorite, this one has a wonderful scent that is subtle and smells yummy. The color is vibrant and I love that is is smooth and creamy!

EDEN BodyWorks- JojOba Deep Conditioner

This is a great conditioner for when your hair needs extra care and attention. I love deep conditioning my hair every few weeks to give my hair an extra boost. This deep conditioner helps revitalize and repair your hair and is amazing!

Laneige- Water Bank Moisture Cream

Believe me when I say you must go out and buy this right now! I have been putting this cream on my face right before bed and it does wonders! I wake up with clearer and more moisturized skin, without feeling oily. This is now a staple in my skin care routine.

Biore- Baking Soda Cleanser

Biore has never done me wrong and this product is no exception. This cleanser leaves your face feeling clean and fresh. I noticed it helps calm my skin and redness without being harsh. This is a great product!

Labor Day Haul!

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! I am so grateful for all the fun times and memories I made this weekend with some awesome friends of mine! Of course holidays are not all about the sales that are happening but I must admit that is one of my favorite parts, are all the holiday sales going on! I love me a great deal and I found quite a few of them this weekend.

Let's start with Old Navy, they killed it in the sale department this weekend! Almost everything was half off so I snagged 2 pairs of jeans for the price of 1 that alone made me super happy! While I was there I also grabbed some cute tops that were supper discounted as well! Next stop was Bath & Body Works, because let's be real fall is coming and I need some pumpkin candles and soap in my life! Candles were half off and soaps were a steal also so I definitely grabbed some of these for my apartment! Lastly in the beauty department...my favorite brand, Colour Pop Cosmetics, was having a great deal with a purchase you had the chance to receive a free new fall liquid lip that hasn't been released yet. So I purchased some new fall shades as well as some basic essentials to make sure I got that freebie. Next, Ulta was having 20% off your purchase so I grabbed some new products there to test out including some NYX and Palladio products, which I am super excited to review! My last beauty purchase were some Gerard Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lipsticks as I have only heard great things about these and again there were on major sale at half off, I could not go wrong and I have been dying to test them out! Well that's it for my labor day haul, I hope y'all enjoy! Please comment below and let me know what great deals you found last weekend!
