May Favorites
1. EOS lip balm sweet mint, love this stuff, I keep it in my bag at all times.
2. elf eyelid primer, I find that this $1 primer is a dupe for some of the more expensive eyelid primers out there.
3. Naked palettes, this month I’ve pretty much only used these two palettes. If you are a neutral eye fan, these palettes are worth the money.
4. elf flat liner brush, this brush was included...

April Favorites
1. Cetaphil lotion: I LOVE this stuff! I have very sensitive skin and this moisturizer has never irritated my skin in any way. I’ve been using it for a few years now and it never fails me. Lately I have been mixing some of my concealer with the lotion creating my own tinted moisturizer, which is great for summer. This lotion can be a little pricey around $15-20 depending on the size but to...

Macademia natural oil deep repair mask review
I just used this repair mask today for the first time.
I have had my eye on it for a while but kept putting off buying it because of the price. It costs 30 dollars and to me that just seemed like too much. However I was able to find it on Amazon for $17 and I also had an amazon gift card so I figured I should finally go ahead and buy it. Recently I have started highlighting my hair and that...

A couple of reviews
Hi guys so I thought I would talk about two products I picked up.
The first is the revlon lip butter in creme brulee.
I really didn’t expect much out of this product. But I was surprised by how much I like it. Its very moisturizing, more so than maybellines baby lips. and gives you great color pay off. I really like this nude color, but I would like to try one of the pinks as well.

Lets talk rollers & L'oreal Elnett hair spray...
I have found myself addicted to rollers lately, I have a set of hot rollers and jumbo Velcro ones. I love the Velcro rollers because of the volume they give, but my hair is so straight and flat that I need a good amount of time to let them set.
So when I’m in a hurry I use my trusty conair hot rollers.
Today I used my rollers and thought I would share with you guys how I use them.
