2015 is in full swing and I already have some new favorite beauty products. I am always on the hunt for more products to add to my beauty repertoire. I am constantly to trying improve myself physically, mentally, and spiritually. Growth is essential to squeezing the juice out of life.
Don’t be complacent in your beauty routine, let it evolve with this new year that is upon us. In the same fashion, it’s always great to set personal goals and continuously set them throughout the year. For example, I have a “late problem.” Somehow, I am late ALLLLL the time, so I am trying to work on that… I have been working on this goal for years, so I don’t really know when this goal will be accomplished haha. My time management skills have been lackluster in the past, but I am attempting to get them in order. 🙂 Regardless, it is better to arrive late than ugly, so when push comes to shove… I will be late if necessary. No sense being on time at the expense of looking like something the cat dragged in.
I think we get stuck in our ways and although we may not be totally satisfied with certain attributes or character flaws, our complacency is passively condoning the behavior. So instead of a “New Years Resolution,” I propose we all set deliberate goals that become an ongoing theme in our lives.
And now, some goodies for the face:
I am wearing all of these products in the photo above 🙂
“Cruella” Velvet Matte Lip Pencil by Nars
Love, love, LOVE this product. It really does feel like velvet on the lips. It is a great red for a variety of skin tones and that’s what I’m all about. God made us in so many different wonderful colors, I love when makeup is versatile. This color reminds of “The Devil Wears Prada.” Literally, I feel like a “Girl Boss” when I wear this. This color makes you look like you are ready to run the world, but do it effortless in stilettos and flawless makeup. That’s every girl’s dream right?
“Deep Profound” Wonder Stick by NYX
So, my friends all know I am VERY passionate about contouring and I truly feel its a “must.” You want a smaller nose? BOOM! Contour that baby and you’ll have cute button nose in seconds. Your face is a bit rounder than you would like? Contour the edges of your face and say goodbye to that baby fat. Want high cheekbones? The list is literally endless. Anyone and EVERYONE can and will look better with proper contouring. Some of my friends love the concept of contouring, but are little gun-shy when it comes to putting it into practice. This product does all the work for you. Literally, the above diagram is on the box and it tells you where to put the concealer. Moreover, it is double sided giving you both highlighting AND contouring in a single concealer stick. It comes in three different natural looking shades for a beautiful and subtle everyday contouring look. The one I use is called “Deep Profound.”
NAKED Skin by Urban Decay
This product is great for a variety of reasons: its extremely lightweight, buildable, etc. However, what makes this product the “Holy Grail” in my book is the color matching! On their website or in stores (Ulta, Sephora,etc), they have actual pictures that correspond to the foundation colors. They have warm tones and cool tones, making it effortless to match your skin tone. We all know the stress of trying new foundation. In high school, I tried some foundation and it was the wrong color, but looked okay in the store (I know we’ve all been there!). When I used it at home, my dad said my face looked like chalk (My dad, Mr. Encouraging over hereeee)…so yeah, we don’t want that! Let’s keep the chalk on the chalkboard, people. 🙂
Voluminous Million Lashes by L’oreal
Last but not least…Pretty straightforward and a bargain buy! Long, full lashes at a drugstore price.
Start 2015 in a glamorous fashion. Work on YOU, inside and out!
