BODY BUTTER

Sharing my most used body butters! Body butters in a nutshell are thick repairing lotions you can use to give your skin extra lovin!

Tree Hut Hawaiian Kukui Body Butter:

Thick consistency, smells amazing almost like cocoa butter and flowers had baby! It is organic; made with shea and cocoa butter. Designed to seal in moisture, repair and retain your skins natural moisture. Available at Ulta.

Boots Extracts Brazilian Nut Body Butter:

Less thick consistency, almost a clay like feeling. Has a cocoa-nutty scent. It leaves skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated. It is available at Target, so it's easy to come by and totally worth it! 

Victoria's Secret True Escape Deep Softening Body Butter:

Thickest consistency. A little goes a long way. Made with shea and jojoba butters plus antioxidant vitamin E. Has a fresh jasmine scent. Leaves skin baby smooth!

I would recommend these to anyone. With the fall just around the corner dry skin is ahead! Prevent it with these body butters :)

*a good time to apply these is after you shower when skin is fresh and clean so skin can fully benefit.

EOS!

I have to share with you my obsession:

These are the EOS (evolution of smooth) lip blams! 

These little guys are:

95% Organic 

100% Natural

Infused with Shea butter & vitamin E

Gluten-free

Paraben-free

Petrolatum-free

Phthalate-free (plastics)

My favorite thing about them is they are obviously in a ball shape! So they are adorable! The balm goes on CLEAR. They SMELL GREAT. I haven't smelled a bad scent yet. LONG LASTING on lips. Goes on SMOOTH. Easy TWIST off cap.

I have noticed a HUGE difference in my lips.

ALSO they last VERY LONG. I tend to switch up scents and use them a few times a day and they have lasted me months!

The scents I have are:

RED: Summer Fruit

PINK: Strawberry Sorbet

GREEN: Honeysuckle Honeydew

ORANGE: Medicated Tangerine

BLUE: Sweet Mint

*my boyfriend has the YELLOW: lemon ;)

BUY EOS HERE!

*also availble at ULTA, Target & Walmart (limited scents)

MILANI

Got a few Milani nail polishes for my birthday, did a test run!

L to R: Disco Lights, Pretty In Porcelain, & (JEWEL FX) Lavendar

Disco Lights is a sheer top coat like pink glitter. I would recommend pairing it with a light pink base first.

Pretty in Porcelain is a gorgeous coral pink. Goes on fully pigmented, even with one coat!

Lavender is a part of the Jewel FX line, it's a larger glitter polish. I like that it is bigger and stands out on your nail. I feel you need a few coats to actually get every spot of your nail "glitterfied."

Final Thoughts: For about 5 bucks they are worth a try. I don't think they have the staying power of China Glaze or OPI, but they go on smooth, dry fairly quick, and with the right top coat they can stay on your nails longer!

NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss

Review on NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss:

L to R: Sweetheart, Beige, Gold Mauve, Frosted Beige, Pink Frost, Cosmo

I find these glosses pretty good value. The prices are reasonable for about $5 a piece. I got a few sets off Hautelook.com for discounted price.

They are not sticky feeling. A little on the thicker side, but go on smooth. They keep lips moist and are good on their own, or as toppers!

SWATCHES:

I would recommend these lip glosses to anyone wanting to try something new :)

MAC HAUL!

Found a new love...

My lovely friend Holli recommended some pretty colors to me. I am not a big MAC person, I only have gotten a few products in the past. (Their perfume Turquatic is my all time favorite scent.) But now, I can see what I was missing!

This is Vagabondage nail polish. By far my favorite nail color of all time. I don't usually rate a nail polish but I am in LOVE with this color. It is similar to lipsticks I tend to favor, it's the prettiest pink ever.

These are Mac Tinted Lipglass, very smooth application and they stay on your lips, no need to reapply as often as some brands. They go on lips true to the color they are. Not sticky!

The MAC lipsticks come in different finishes. Snob is a satin (creamy) finish and Saint Germain is amplified (bright). The color pay off in both is amazing. Long lasting lipstick and not drying on your lips.

SWATCHES:

L to R: Good Times, Oyster Girl, Snob, & Saint Germain

Toes!

My birthday is Thursday, so I styled my toes after my party dress!

Used 3 colors: Sally Hansen "hard as nails xtreme wear" in 13 Celeb City, China Glaze in Love's a Beach, & another Sally polish in 28 Black Out

The final product:

It's always fun to create something all your own :)

Smooth Like Butter

Sharing my love of the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters!

These balms are so creamy and pigmented they are perfect for day or night! They leave a high shine and glossy color. Here are a few I have:

055 Cupcake: a pretty fuchsia pink

005 Sugar Frosting: perfect nude pink color

060 Gumpdrop: my favorite, lovely lilac color that compliments natural pink lip color

045 Cotton Candy: a soft pink

I reach for these lip butters on a daily basis. If you don't want to be applying your lipstick and gloss, go for a butter, its the best of both worlds! 

Plus they actually benefit your lips by hydrating them and making them softer! *muah*

SWATCHES:

L to R: Cupcake, Sugar Frosting, Gumpdrop, & Cotton Candy
