Mac "Honour" Frost Powder Blush







A blush I recently purchased was the Mac "Honour" powder blush...it is a super cute, frost blush that is not really pigmented, but has golden glitter/sparkles in it. Since the days are getting warmer and summer is almost here, I purchased this so I could swatch it over my blush to give it that golden, shimmery look. It is gorgeous and is good to use if you want that golden sheen, which is perfect for summer time! :)

Mac "Love Thing" Mineralize Blush...my favorite!!!







One of my favorite blushes is the "Love Thing" mineralize blush because it is such a beautiful deep red color! I love blushes that have pink/red tones and this one is by far my favorite! I was intimidated when I first saw it because it is really pigmented compared to other blushes, but a few months ago I decided to take the risk and buy it. I'm glad I did because it is one blush that I reach for the most. It is super pigmented, therefore a little goes a long way because if you grab too much of the product in your brush, then it will definitely be too much. Lol! For this blush I use the Mac 188 small duo fibre face brush in order to not grab so much product and to be able to buff it out well. It is gorgeous and beautiful. I am not really light complected and have like a medium skin tone complexion, and I think it looks ok on me, and I always get complements. I think anyone with any skin tone can pull this one off! Lol! It is also mineralized, which is a good thing, and it is shimmery. :)

Cute Nicole by OPI Nail Polish "One Less Lonely Glitter"




I recently purchased a nail polish from the "One Less Lonely Girl" collection by Nicole (OPI). I am not really a big fan of Justin Bieber, but when I saw the nail polish at my local drugstore, I fell in love. I love glittery nail polishes and this one is really sparkly and has small & large silver/purple glitter. It is a cute polish to wear no matter what age, I guess! Lol! :) In the picture above, I just wore the purple glitter polish "One Less Lonely Glitter" over a navy blue nail polish. It looks cute and you can wear this polish alone or on top of other nail polish coats. Please excuse my nails, the polish is chipping, sorry...

Clean & Clear Deep Cleaning Astringent for Sensitive Skin


A product that I have been using a lot (up to twice daily!) is the Clean & Clear Deep Cleaning Astringent for Sensitive skin...it is amazing at cleaning your skin and for treating any breakouts. I rarely breakout but I like to use this product after I cleanse my face to remove dirt and oil, especially prior to putting on my makeup. I like the sensitive skin astringent over the one for normal skin because it doesn't burn my face and it doesn't dry it out as well. It is a great product and very inexpensive...plus you don't need to use much of it, just enough to dampen a cotton ball! Lol! :)

Neutrogena Age Shield Face Sunblock Lotion SPF 110


So far, one of my favorite, must have, daily products has been the Neutrogena Age Shield Face Sunblock Lotion because it is non-greasy (unlike regular sunblock lotions!) and it doesn't have an odd smell to it. It is excellent for putting on prior to using foundation/makeup. I love it and what's great about it is that it has an SPF of 110! Perfect to protect your face from sun damage and protect from wrinkles! Lol! :)
