e.l.f. Complexion Brush

Sometimes I just have to review my favorite bargain finds. My sister has been raving about this powder brush by e.l.f. So I had to see what all of the fuss was about. I have an amazing powder brush that I use on a daily basis, but this brush is so pricey, I’m often reluctant to throw it in my purse for touch ups on the go. I’ve lost so many brushes this way. You would think I would realize when a brush is falling out of my bag, but after losing a $60 MAC brush, I put an end to throwing my expensive brushes in my handbag. This brush by e.l.f. is perfect! It is super soft, the size is perfect for touching up your powder and best of all, it’s only $3! Yep. You can’t buy too many things for less than $3, especially a powder brush. Trust me when I say you will want to pick up this brush asap. (maybe pick up three just in case!) Just because a product is inexpensive doesn’t mean it isn’t great. This has become one of my favorite staples and I use it every day. Thanks e.l.f. for making my life more affordable-

DUO Latex Free Brush On Adhesive

I have tried almost every strip lash adhesive under the sun. I used to love DUO adhesive back in the day until I developed a horrible allergy to latex. Which might I add is in SO MANY lash adhesives. It has become slightly easier over the years to find latex free glue, but there have not been many that really impressed me. I was at Sephora the other day and ran across this DUO brush on adhesive that is latex and formaldehyde free. I usually prefer to use black adhesive but they only had this in clear. I quickly snatched it up and have been loving it ever since. Only a small amount is needed to keep my lashes in place for hours and it’s also super easy to remove and does not pull out my real lashes, which is a huge plus!

Wet n’ Wild Wild Shine Nail Polish in French White Creme

I sometimes get things stuck in my head! I had an obsession this week about wanting to paint my nails white. So on a quick drugstore outing, I spotted this white polish by Wet n’ Wild in French White Creme. Since it was only 99 cents, I thought I couldn’t possibly go wrong. I have so may nail polishes and I will say some of my favorites are by Wet n’ Wild. In my opinion, it’s all about the preparation of your nails and the perfect top coat that makes any manicure look top notch. This polish is perfect! I’ve had it on for a few days now and it still looks great. I love how it makes my nails pop. The color is so bright and crisp, it will be perfect for spring and way into summer. Hallelujah!

Milani Bella Eyes Gel Powder Shadow in Navy

I must admit, some of the drugstore brands of cosmetics have become my absolute favorites! This definitely goes for Milani. The entire palette of the Bella Eyes collection is simply amazing. The colors are super pigmented and absolutely gorgeous. What I love about these little gems is the ability to use them wet or dry. I simply dip the tip of my brush into a small amount of water and then run it across my shadow and the color and saturation become even more pigmented. I LOVE the Bella Navy for doing a twist on a traditional smokey eye. The cool navy tone paired with a classic brownish/grey shadow, creates the perfect smokey eye that just screams elegance. I love to wear my favorite nude lipstick by Dolce & Gabbana with this type of eye, but a darker, richer color would also work beautifully. Think of applying a deep wine lipstick with this ultra standout look. The combination would be drop dead GORGEOUS! Welcome to the weekend…

KISS Design Perfection

I LOVE the look of all of those great geometric patterns on nails that I’m constantly seeing all over the pages of fashion magazines. But, if you’re like me and in no position to spend $80 and up for a manicure, I’ve found a way to achieve that same salon look for just a few dollars! KISS has come out with these stickers called Design Perfection that you place on your nails as a sort of template. What I love about this idea, is that you no longer have to try and have a perfectly steady hand and freehand the pattern you want on your nails. The key to getting the perfect salon look, is making sure your base coat is completely dry before applying the contrasting color. I first started with my favorite Dolce and Gabbana polish in Pure Nude and then paired it with my Wet n Wild black creme polish as the accent color. As we speak, I have been rocking this manicure for eight days and it’s just now starting to chip. I believe the key to a long lasting manicure is applying a top coat like Out The Door, which is my absolute favorite. Overall, I LOVE these decals. It’s a brilliant product that allows us girls the ability to have a fabulous manicure even if we can’t afford spend hundreds of dollars at the salon. Thanks KISS!
