Hello friends and Happy November,

I’ve been testing out a lot of skincare products recently because my skin has been out of control. I’ve been trying prestige and drugstore skincare products and I want to do a special spotlight on these fruity skincare finds. First up:

Fresh’s Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash

This face scrub is something I had my eye on all summer. When I finally bought it, I couldn’t wait to try it. The consistency is a gel form with sugar and strawberry looking seeds within it. The scrub is fairly light but feels extremely cleansing. You get a little bit of a tingle to your skin in mis use that feels like the product is doing its job. I feel that Fresh’s scrub has given my skin great improvement and I highly suggest, ESPECIALLY if you love strawberries and the scent like me.

MK I’m

Clean & Clear Lemon Juice Toner

The other fruity themed skincare item is this lemon scented toner. My skincare routine has been lacking a toner for a while and I must say, I’m certainly glad to be back using one again. I LOVE the smell of lemons and using this product is so refreshing and it works wonders. It’s ridiculous how much extra dirt it gets off your face after you remove makeup AND wash it. This product is a must have if you’re in need of a great toner for a low price.

Purchase either of those products here!

I’m so about a fruit scented skincare item, what about you? Let me know what kind of skincare you’d like to scented like your favorite fruit!

Go-To Tuesday

Here it is friends, my homage to summer coming to an end. I’m sharing with you my go-to ice cream flavor. Who are we kidding, I’m still gonna eat ice cream all year long because chocolate chip cookie dough is just way too good to skip out on! Haha BUT I’m here to share with you the reasons why I love it. First off, if I could, I’m the type of person that could eat a whole stick of raw cookie, anybody else? So to be able to eat cookie dough that is safe to eat AND with ice cream, how could anyone be unhappy with life? In addition, I love chewy chocolate chip cookies so eating the cookie dough is like the best of both worlds. If you got this far into this blog, then good for you because it’s literally just a blog about how damn good chocolate chip Cookie dough ice cream is. Share with me below your favorite ice cream flavor!

Hello friends,

It’s that time of year again where Ulta has their 21 Days of Beauty sale! This is a perfect time to stock up on those favorite prestige items or finally try that $30 bronzer you’ve had your eye on. Either way, you don’t want to miss out on this sale PLUS it lasts for 21 days!!! Here’s the catch, there are certain days that certain prestige items go on sale. For example, tomorrow (Sept. 1st) is the first day of the sale and Benefit’s Porefessional Primer is 50% off. BUT, it’s only on sale Sept. 1st, get it? I figured you would! You can easily find the calendar online or in the app and I’ll feature it at the bottom of my blog for you to check it out. Let’s get started:

• Tarte Lights Camera Lashes 4 in 1 Mascara: I’ve been using this mascara for the last couple of months and I love how light it is on my lashes.

What I Want:

Hello friends,

This past week, I featured my newest bag that I added to my collection. This purse is the one featured in the picture above. It is a Louis Vuitton Pochette dupe and I’m obsessed with it. I’ve been scouring amazon for it for months now and finally found it for a great price! When it comes to amazon and their dupes, you have to be very diligent with looking at their prices. Most of these purses are not worth anything more than $100. I featured a few on here that much or a little more and that’s only to give you options. Overall, it’s your money and your choice. My personal preference and advice would be to wait it out and see if the price goes down (because it usually does). Alrighty, let’s jump into it:

The Dupes:

Two sided (White & Black) GG Fanny Pack
Black LV Pochette
Black LV Zip Wallet
Rhinestone GG Broach
Light Pink LV Crossbody
White LV Makeup Bag
Red Velvet Large GG purse
White LV belt
Brown LV belt
Brown LV Pochette (I own this and ADORE it, its in great quality and looks legit.)
Brown LV Zip Wallet
Black YSL Quilted Bag
Brown LV Hobo Bag
Brown LV Zip Wallet with wristlet
Black Quilted Chanel Shoulder Bag
Red LV Monogramed Neverfull
Brown (and white) LV Neverfull with matching wristlet
LV iWatch Band
LV iPhone Case
LV Checkered iWatch Band
Clear LV iPhone Case
Gold Rhinestone GG Belt

And that concludes today’s edition of Amazon dupes! Let me know if you liked this post and if you’re looking for something in particular. Also, comment below if you want me to do more of these!

GO-TO TUESDAY

It’s that time of year again, back to school! Whether you’re are a Mom, student, or just a gal (like me) that loves back to school shopping then this is a post you’re gonna want to read about. I’m sharing my Go-to Pens with you, the Crayola Washable Gel Pens. What I love most about these are the multiple colors offered within the pack. I’m the type of person that likes to color code my planner and different projects I work on. So this pack of pens was perfect for me. I also love that the pens glide so easily onto the paper. They are easy to use and super smooth to write with. In addition to that, these pens come with 14 different colors in a pack included black and dark blue. I love the variety included within the pack and the price is great for the amount they offer. They are offered on prime and you can order them and get them just in time for school starting. Click the photo above for the link to these colorful and fun pens!

Well hello,

Do you ever notice yourself always grabbing the same color lipsticks over and over again? Cause, same! Then, I’ll make a conscious effort to try one of my other millions I own and then usually regret it. So I figured I’d share with you my top 5 lipsticks that I’m always using. Let’s get started:

The Lipsticks:

(Links to products are connected to the photos and hyperlinks.)

Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint in “Uncuffed” : This gorgeous mauve-y pink is perfect for day to night transition. It’s such a stunning lip color on because it’s not your typical bubble gum girly pink. It’s quite a sophisticated pink and would look great on women of many ages.
Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in “Ruler” : If you follow along with my Go-To Tuesday’s, you would know that this is my go-to red lipstick! I’m so obsessed with it and don’t know what I’ll do when this color is discontinued. Up until this point, there were only a few red lipsticks that looked good on me but they always smeared so quickly. In that case, you have to worry about applying powder to your lipstick and constantly be check on it and making sure it isn’t all over your face. BUT, I don’t have to worry one bit about this matte lip ink. This lipstick stays on ALL DAY and barely needs reapplication. The formula that Maybelline has come up with is truly incredible and I highly suggest it to anyone!
Ciaté London Glitter Flip Lip in “Infamous” : Glitter Flip has been around for a couple of years now (which is why mine doesn’t have the logo on it anymore). I’m a big fan of anything that is shiny and glittery which is why I wanted to originally try this out a few years ago. This color it’s also a mauve but after two minutes, you press your lips together and glitter appears. This glitter in the lipstick is not a look that everybody loves for themselves, but if you do, this is the one for you! In addition, it’s currently on sale on Sephora for $9.50 in most of the colors.
NYX Slip Tease in “I Woke Up Like This” : If you’re in need of an amazing nude, satin lipsticks then look no further. This is my lipstick that looks great with anything I’m wearing. It looks very natural while still giving a slightly dramatic vibe. I hate the look of a nude lipstick that makes me look dehydrated so that’s why I love this lip. Its dark enough that you can see it in pictures and far away but subtle enough as well. Overall, it’s a solid nude lip choice.
Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick in “Trendsetter” – Sometimes, when applying lipsticks, that pink and red simply won’t do. That’s where my Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lip in “Trendsetter” comes in handy. This lipstick is a brown nude with a little orange undertone. You can tell by the swatches that it’s similar to the NYX lipstick but still darker. This is definitely a lipstick I use when I’m in search for a more dramatic look. This liquid lip stays on for a good while too. Definitely a great choice!

Swatches:

And that’s it! Share with me below what’s your absolute favorite lipstick, I’m not opposed to adding more to my list. 😉

Welcome/Welcome back friends,

It’s another edition of “What’s in my Bag?” And we are focusing on my every day purse. The past couple WIMB posts have been for vacations and trips but this one is dedicated to my every day bag that I grab and go. Occasionally, I change out the bag and carry it around for months or so and this is my current every day bag. It’s a leather quilted Vera Bradley handbag and it’s one of my favorites I own. So, let’s get to it:

Go-To Tuesday

I’m very excited to share with you all my go-to face wash today. Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea Cleansing Gel has been my favorite face wash for the last 6 months. Since I’ve been using it, none of the others I’ve tried have compared. I’ve tried others while using this (usually samples I’ve received) and I always find myself reaching for Tarte’s again. The Cleansing Gel comes in a bottle that you pump the product out of. This makes using it very easy and saves you from using too much of the product at once. Usually one pump will be perfect for a full face wash. I have had this current bottle since April and I have only used about half of it. This product retails for $25 but is so forth the price. A lot of times, if you purchase it on Tarte’s website, you can find a discount code online. If you click this link below, it will take you to a link that will give you a 15% off coupon once you enter your email address.
