The list of on trend beauty products is growing seriously fast lately. With brands releasing more products than ever before, it can be hard to keep up with which ones are worth buying and which aren’t. With the new year here, I’ve found a handy selection of products that might be worth investing in for your 2015 beauty, fashion and style. Beauty Some of the top beauty products for 2014 have been absolutely amazing buys for me this year.

Top Beauty Product Favorites 2014

Beauty•Hair•Makeup•Skincare

It has been a long time since I’ve done a YouTube video, but it is a new year and I’m ready to try to get more video content put together! Starting off this year by recapping my favorite beauty products from 2014! Here is a list of all the products mentioned in order from the video. Also, sorry for the quality, I am trying to find a new area/setup in our apartment and will hopefully get it figured out soon…. and sorry about the end of the video, my camera just shut off for some reason! If you want...

Youth Express Eye Serum & Eye Gel Review

Beauty•Skincare

InstaNatural is a brand I have recently tried, focusing on the eye area, as I feel it is the area I am already starting to see some aging (hello crow’s feet, etc.) I have only been using the Youth Express Eye Serum and Eye Gel for a week but am already loving the results! I was a little worried when I first started using the eye serum, it is jam packed with Vitamin C, hence the orange color – and I have never placed anything orange on my face, except maybe a mud mask that looks a little orange....

This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser. #WalgreensBeauty #CollectiveBias Does anyone else feel like it’s been the longest winter ever?!

Luckily there is a way to highlight your natural beauty this winter with affordable drugstore products from Walgreens! Let’s face it, most of us can’t completely...

Beauty Oils for Winter Skin

Beauty

I wasn’t too sold on the idea of oils for skin for the longest time, mostly because I’ve battled combination/oily and acne-prone skin for close to 9 years. Why would I want to add more oil to my skin? Won’t it cause break outs? Well I am SO glad I have gotten over this and actually started using oils for my skin because the results have been amazing. Here are a few ways I’ve been using different oils in my beauty routine: Josie Argan Oil: I talked about this oil in my 2013 Beauty Favorites video, and I continue...

Sephora Picks

Beauty

So I got a little excited during Sephora’s VIB sale last week and was originally on the site to buy new Tarte blush. When I saw the VIB sale was going on for 20% off everything, I decided it was time to make a few more purchases. I ordered the YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat foundation and YSL Touche Eclat as I have heard amazing things about both. I needed new foundation and while I really like Loreal LUMI True Match foundation, I was looking for something with a similar texture/application, but that lasts all day. I tried the...

Ipsy June Glam Bag

Beauty•Shopping

I remember how excited I was for Ipsy’s May Glam Bag (see the review here). Well I was even more EXCITED about the June Glam Bag… as soon as I saw some of the products that would be coming in a super adorable leopard print bag, I was waiting for the pretty little pink package to come to my door. Majorly impressed by Ipsy this month…. I am seriously going to use each and every one of these products (and already have used some before even taking photos)! Let’s review what I got in detail: J.Cat Sparkling Cream Palette  (in...

Ipsy May Glam Bag

Beauty

If you are a beauty junkie like me, I have to say I LOVE this. I did a lot of reading up on Glossybox, Birch Box and Ipsy, and Ipsy seemed to fit my needs best. I like getting samples, but if I’m paying $10 a month for something, I also thought it would be nice to get at least one full-sized product. I got two full-sized products, the lipstick and nail polish, and the clear brow gel is a pretty good size for being “mini.” Glossy Box looks nice, but I just don’t know that I can justify $21 a month,...

How to Get Glowing Skin

Beauty

I have been asked a couple times about how my skin looks so glowing, etc. so I thought I’d put together a post about some of the products I use outside of my everyday beauty routine. I don’t have a ton of secrets, just a few things I use on a regular basis to give me a glow. I am always very curious when it comes to beauty products, so about 6 months ago I ordered the full sample of Cindy Crawford’s Meaningful Beauty line. I actually really liked it all, but I particularly love the day lotion, which I use...
