January Beauty Wishlist

Hello Lovelies!
I've been trying to come up with some new blog post ideas and I know that I really want to add in some more beauty related posts. So I think I want to start doing a monthly beauty wishlist. I want to share with you some of the new products that I'm loving and lusting over!

So here's what I'm loving this month!
I actually tested the moisturizer last month while I was in Sephora and I can't quit thinking about it! It smelled so GOOD and a little goes a long way, I could smell it on the back of my hand for hours! I like this little set because it has a lip balm and my lips are always chapped no matter what. I'm definitely ordering this next payday if I have enough money!

While we were in Ulta my best friend showed me this and I tested it on the back of my hand and fell in love! It's so soft and I really wanna buy some and see how it does with my foundation! If I don't like it I'll give her the rest. I've only tried a face primer once before, but it was a drugstore primer and it failed to impress.

This is one of those palettes where I thought it was pretty online, but when I saw it in store I fell in love. I have a birthday coming up, so one can dream, and I'm dreaming of this palette!

I love a good neutral palette and the colors in this one are so pretty and it looks like it would be easy to travel with.

I really need to invest in more face products, I don't own any highlight or contour products, but I really want to learn. I feel like the colors in this palette would be perfect for me!

I've actually tried a sample of this mask and I love it. I do think the name is a little misleading though, because if you wanted to you could use this as a normal moisturizer. I even wore this under makeup and loved the way it felt. I definitely want to buy the full size because during the winter my combo/oily skin tends to get dry on my upper cheeks.

The only Too Faced product I've used is their mascara, I haven't tried any off their eye-shadows, but this one is really pretty.

I have a sample of this and I'm in love!

What's on your beauty wishlist? Anything you think I would like? What products do you recommend for contouring beginners?

Pinterest Finds

Hello lovelies!
I hope you all had a great weekend! I had a really good weekend, Saturday I got to catch up on some sleep, and I spent Sunday working and with family. This week I have a few things in store for you, tomorrow I'll be posting a product review. Wednesday I still haven't decided on, I have a few ideas, but I'm not sure which one I want to do this week.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great week, here's this month's Pinterest Finds!

I think pretty much every girl who wears makeup has dropped and broken an eyeshadow or blush before, so save this link and next time you won't have to throw it out.

Number 1 and 5 are my favorites to do when I have a headache.

I'm in love with these sandals!!!!

Good advice and definitely something to think about.

5. Get Organized.
Check out my new Get Organized Pinterest board, I just started it yesterday, but if you're having trouble getting organized you might want to check it out!

That's it for today, what have you been loving on Pinterest? Let me know below!

Pinterest Finds

Hello lovelies!
Honestly I haven't been using Pinterest much lately, I go through phases with it where I really love and then there's times where I don't go on it for days. I think my current disinterest has to do with the fact that my internet sucks and I can't spend much time on the website before I lose my connection.

My mom and I are going tomorrow to see if we can find a new internet provider. Hopefully by the end of the month I'll have better internet coverage, but till then I hope you can make do with links to a few pins I've been loving!

Ulta Haul + Mini Reviews

Hello lovelies!
Over the past month I've bought a lot of new goodies and today I wanted to share them with you, along with my thoughts on them!

 Last month I placed two orders from Ulta and I'm planning on placing a new order this week! Out of everything that I bought I only had two products that disappointed me, but I'll explain that more down below!



Maybelline FaceStudio Master Prime Blur + Redness Control Primer $9.99
This is the first primer I've ever used so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I really do love this product and once it runs out I plan on repurchasing.

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation $7.99
I was nervous about trying this foundation because it's new and there aren't that many reviews on it yet, but it was a gamble that paid off well. I love the formula of this foundation, it stays on all day and the color doesn't oxidize.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer $8.99
 I had seen reviews on this concealer for years and I finally decided to try it. So far I really like this concealer, the coverage is buildable, it doesn't crease, it feels really good and it doesn't irritate the sensitive skin around my eyes.

Urban Decay Naked 24/7 Glide-On Double-Ended Eye Pencil $16.00
Honestly,this was probably the one I was most excited about and it's also the biggest disappointment. I was expecting great things from this eyeliner and I do love it, the formula is great and it lasts all day, I just don't like that there's not much product and I seem to be going through it really fast.

Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Mascara $6.99
So far I've only used this once, but I really like it and I can't wait to keep using it. The only downside is that I wasn't paying attention when I bought it and so I ended up getting the one that isn't waterproof.

Nivea Lip Butter Vanilla & Macadamia Kiss $2.99
I love Nivea lip products, I own all of their lip balms, but this is the first lip butter I've bought and I really love it.

Nivea Kiss Of Olive Oil & Lemon Lip Care $2.99
Like I said I love Nivea lip products, I have 5 tubes of the yellow one. I heard about this one a few months ago when MakeupByTiffanyD mentioned it in a video and I'd been searching for it since then and I couldn't find it anywhere, it seems like Ulta is the only place that sells it. Honestly I think I might like this one better than the yellow one, it stays on my lips for hours and my lips feel really soft when I'm using it.

Batiste Dry Shampoo Original $7.99
For years I had put off buying this because I didn't believe the hype, but I finally broke down and bought it and I'm in love! This is hands down the BEST dry shampoo I've ever used.

AG Hair Hair Moisture & Shine Fast Food Sulfate-Free Shampoo $20.00-$50.00
I bought this after trying the AG Fast Food leave-on conditioner, I like that it's sulfate free, but it still lathers up and it's easy to work with, I would definitely repurchase this shampoo.
For some reason I couldn't get the travel size picture to clip to Polyvore, so I had to use the big one, but that's okay cause I'll be placing a new order this week and I'm definitely buying the big one!

AG Hair Travel Size Moisture & Shine Fast Food Leave On Conditioner $3.98
I actually bought this first and I loved it so much I had to try the shampoo too! I love the smell of this stuff and it makes my hair feel so soft, I love it, I'm going to be placing an order for the full size for this one too!

Conair You Style & Protect Hair Dryer $24.99
I bought this at Ulta last month, but for some reason it's now unavailable, but I did find it on Amazon, so I put the link in for that, it's the same price.

Freeman's Charcoal & Black Sugar Facial Polishing Scrub $4.29
I forgot to put this one in my Polyvore collage, but it was a part of my first order. When I got this I was really excited to try it, but if you follow me on Instagram, then you know it did not end well at all. I had been wanting to try it for months and so I tried it out the night I got it, big mistake! When I bought this scrub I didn't take the time to look at the ingredients list, if I had I would have seen that it has coconut in, which I am allergic to. So sadly this one didn't work out for me, and unfortunately I won't be able to use any other Freeman products because they all have coconut in them.

That's it for today, I hope you all enjoyed this haul! I plan on doing full reviews of some of the products mentioned above, I just wanted to give you my opinion so far on some of them!
XoXo,
Lori

Links to Love

Hello Lovelies,
Welcome to my new series, I'm so happy to finally be starting something new! This week wasn't the greatest and yesterday was the first day in a week that wasn't awful. I mentioned earlier this week I was sick, and so that was a big contributor to this week not being the best.

But I'm finally feeling better, I'm getting my energy back, and I'm ready to start working on some new projects!
Happy New Year everyone, I hope your year is off to a great start!
XoXo,
Lori
