INGREDIENTS TO AVOID FOR ACNE!

This is a list of ingredients to avoid for acne or in general. Most of the ingredients I will be listing are carcinogenic. Most of these ingredients are also stored in fat cells which are released in our bloodstream in times of stress, perspiration and nutritional deficiencies. If possible write them down and keep them handy when you are shopping for skincare, hair and makeup products. If possible try to go as natural as possible. I will be doing a post soon on how to detoxify your skin and body to get rid of acne. I will have to toss alot of my skincare products out, because most of them have one or more of these ingredients. I will be researching all natural skincare products that don't cause allergic reactions as some do. Stay tuned!

Perfect nude lip from the drug store

I have been on a mission to find the perfect lip liner and lipstick combo to create the perfect nude lip. My mission took me to the my favorite drugstore CVS. I love CVS and now they even have Beauty Advisers. My Beauty Advisor from my local CVS is a doll. She really knows her stuff. Her names Reva and she is great at letting you know what there are deals on and always has coupons for my favorite stuff. To make a long story short, I have found the perfect nude lip combo. The lip liner is Rimmels 1000 Kisses Lip liner and the lipstick is Revlon's Color Stay lipstick in Smooth Nude. There the perfect light nude pink color, like your natural lip color only better. You could even use the lip liner alone to fill in your lips. This pair is my new favorite combo. Check it out. Some CVS drugstores don't carry the Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip liner, so try Walmart or Ulta. These stores usually carry the full line of Rimmel products. What is your favorite nude lip combo?

My Wedding Day!

Here are some pics of my wedding day. That was the best day of my life besides my babies being born. I also posted a pic of the precious suprise in my tummy we got three years later! My baby boy!

Megan Fox's Allure Magazine Cover

Has anyone seen the new Allure Magazine Cover of Megan Fox? She looks gorgeous! I am not a fan of hers, but there is something about her makeup on this cover that pops out at you. Her lip and cheek color are what stand out the most. The color is so flattering, it's like a rosy vibrant watermelon color. I am on a quest to find a lip and cheek color as similiar as possible. It's a great color for summer too. Her eyes are very understated which is perfect paired with the vibrant lip and cheek color. The cheek color brings out her great bone structure. I am really impressed with this look and will let you know if I find something similiar. What do you think of this look? The June issue is on stands now, check it out!

Products I'm Really Loving!!!!

I have found some products that I'm really getting giddy over. The first product is NYC's Smoothing Bronzing Powder, I think this is the best bronzer I have ever tried and it's 3.00, go figure. It glides on so smoothly and is the perfect color. It doesn't turn orange which is really important to me. I went to CVS yesterday and bought 5 of them, I never do that. Next is Revlons Colorstay eyeshadow quad in Steel Impressions. Every eyeshadow is beautiful in this quad. I use all four eye shadows everyday. The highlight is a soft shimmery vanilla, the green is a shimmery emerald green, the light gray shadow is to die for and the sparkly black is great for the outer corners. There Coffee Bean quad use to be my favorite but steel impressions has taken it place. I am in love with a new eye cream from Kinerase called Restructure Firming Eye Cream. I got a sample at Sephora and I am blown away by the results I have gotten. I was given a generous sample and I only use a pea size if less on my eyes everyday. My eye area has never looked better. Its firmed, refreshed, hydrated and lifted my eye area. I am going this week to purchase it, the price is $55.00, to me its worth every penny! Your eye makeup goes on super smooth, so to me its a great primer. Go to sephora and ask for a sample, you will love it! My last but not least product is a set of Joico Hair products I got from Ulta. The set comes with a shampoo, condition and moisturizing hair mask treatment, all for 24.00 but if you use your ulta coupon for 20% off you get it for 20.00. It's worth it! My hair is color treated and is usually on the dry dull side. Since using it my hair color is richer and shinier. My hair also feels so much softer and bouncy and I haven't seen my hair like that since my twenties. So there you have it. These products are really good quality and have really impressed me. The bronzer is $3.00, the eyeshadow is $6.00 but CVS always has buy one get one free so you can get Coffee Bean which is a lovely smokey brown quad. As for the eye cream I suggest you get a sample of it at Sephora, ask for three samples, that is what your allowed. The Joico hair products are a fantastic deal being each product usually sells for about $20.00 each. Ulta usually sends 20% off coupons or 5.00 so that's even extra savings. What products are you loving right now? I would love to know! I live for it!
