Last Minute Beauty Drugstore Favorites!

Hey Guys!

I forgot to write yesterday.  I’ve been so good about blogging every day this month! So, today I’ll be posting twice. Today I will share with you some of my favorite drugstore beauty products that you could use as last minute stocking fillers, or just to buy some new things for yourself!

 

 

Loreal Diamonds Collection. This collection has some beautiful nail polishes, lip glosses, pigmented shadows and mascara for winter! The lip glosses stay on for hours! The mascara is one I would buy again , and the nail polishes are really fun sparkly colors for winter!

False Lashes. Katy Perry has a new line out that has pops of color! The black lashes have purple throughout them, but it’s very subtle. These are great for a night out or something festive.

NYX Lipliners. I LOVE nyx lipliners…they’re amazing and inexpensive.

Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Nailpolish. This is one of the best nail polishes from the drugstore I’ve ever used. It’s one of the longest lasting out there.

Milani Liquifeye Eyeliner. This stuff is amazing, richly pigmented, long lasting and great for the waterline!

 

If you wanted to make some of these products a gift, I’d suggest buying a cute clutch or small purse and putting a few beauty products inside!!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Talk to you soon.

Love,

Lauren

 

 

My Favorite Beauty Picks from December and Gift Ideas for you!

Hey Guys,

I have a special treat tonight.  I am going to give you an inside scoop into my most used products from the past month! These are all beauty/health related items that I have been using almost everyday for a while now. I figured they would all make great gifts or stocking stuffers if they are things I love enough to use everyday!

Philip B. Peppermint & Avacado Volumizing & Clarifying Shampoo. I LOVE this stuff. I don’t know if I’ve ever actually used a clarifying shampoo, or if it’s just that I’ve never used one this good. After using this , my hair feels so soft, clean, and full of volume!! I love the way the peppermint tingles the scalp and has such a refreshing smell!

Josie Maran Argan Cleansing Oil.  This cleansing oil takes off makeup effortlessly, keeps my skin feeling hydrated, and has the neatest warming sensation when you first apply it. It warms up as you put in on your face, and smells like sweet apricots. It’s amazing. I’m hooked.

Pevonia Botanica Ligne Nyphea Dry Oil Body Moisturizer. I am also in LOVE with this dry oil body moisturizer. I have had the driest skin I’ve ever had this season. My body constantly has been seeking moisture. This is an easy spray on body oil that smells absolutely amazing and leaves your skin soft and hydrated!

Pattern Citris Moisturzing Body Wash. This smells so invigorating and fresh and feels so creamy and nice on your skin! Again, with my dry skin, I’ve been seeking the best products for my skin. Pattern body washes contain no parabens, no artificial fragrances, colors or dyes. They leave my skin feeling moisturized instead of dry. Also, these come in some great scents!! I encourage you to check them out.

Scunci Knotted Ponytailers. These are a brand new product for scunci. They keep ponytails in place without creating the dent or crease in your hair. They are definitely my favorite style ponytail holder. They come in fun colors and you can find them right now at CVS. The middle picture here are the knotted ponytail holders. 

 Eyeko Skinny Liquid liner. This is my GO TO liquid liner right now. I love them!! They are richly pigmented, easy, simple, and have the perfect marker thickness for drawing on your liner whether you want it thick or thin. These are sold at Sephora and I will recommend them to everyone! 

Zaggora Hot Pants!!!!!! These are just the BEST! The absolute BEST! I cannot rave enough about how much I love these workout pants. They squeeze you in and make you burn up to 4x the calories. They help reduce cellulite and by making you sweat more. 84 % of women say that they’re skin was smoother after using these for 4 weeks. Need I say more? I would love to get more of the Zaggora gear!

To be continued tomorrow….I will be back with some more of my favorite and most used products!! 

Love,

Lauren

Beauty for Men? Fragrance and Skincare Gifts for Guys…

Hey Guys!

My Husband is a lucky guy. He gets to try out beauty products sometimes also in attempts to help me with my reviews and thoughts about male beauty products.

Over the past couple of weeks he has tried several things out including fragrance, skin and hair care products. Here are all of my “husband approved products” for guy gifts if your man is into grooming. 

Turo Skin Starter Kit.   ” For the Active Lifestyle of Today’s Man” $80 This kit included a daily moisturizing lotion + sunscreen, a 3 in 1 shower cleanser and a multi-active shave product. All three products are full size and are hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested.

The name is product pomade for hair. This is an organic and plant derived pomade for hair that smells great and helps to condition, soften, texturize, defrizz and makes hair glisten. I have been using this on photoshoots for fly aways and minor fixes. This product is great for both men and women’s hair.

Jack Black Well-Stocked Bar.  $59 This is a fragrance set of 3. It’s perfect if you don’t know what kind of cologne your man likes. Comes with Blue Mark a clean crisp smelling scent, JB which is a very distinctive masculine scent, and Black Mark which is a warm earthy sensual scent.

Lacoste Eau De Lacoste L.12.12 Rouge. 3.3 0z $62  Red is meant to evoke energy, vitality and masculine power. The red edition is a triple blend of spices, ginger, black pepper and cardamom, contrasted with a sparkling iced red tea note. This is my husbands favorite fragrance of ALL he’s tried this holiday season!

Nautica Aqua Rush. 1.7 oz $49.  This light and airy fragrance opens with a brisk note of Sea Breeze accord and splashed with Yuzu and a twist of spicy-sweet Corlander. It’s infused with watermint, Clary Sage Absolute and Violet Leaves. This is my favorite men’s fragrance I have tried all year! It’s very cool and refreshing.

Hope you all enjoyed this! I will be doing part 2 of my men’s gift guide tomorrow. I hope you will subscribe to this blog to make sure you catch it! Also, check out my Facebook Page for even more updates! 

Love,

Lauren

Gift Items to Splurge on from Sephora!

Hey Guys,

I went to Sephora today to look around at some of the Holiday gift sets. Of course, most of the sets I had my eye on were makeup related. Here are some you definitely should take a look at if you find yourself shopping at Sephora!!

The Vice Palette from Urban Decay. $59  This palette is one of the top on my list for the next I have to have. It has 20 GORGEOUS never before seen colors from Urban Decay that are vibrant and highly pigmented. These colors are just those “fun” colors that you may not just wear for the average day, but a special event. I also think this palette would work amazing on Darker skin tones since there are some beautiful jewel tones, and these are so pigmented.

Cinderella Collection Palette from Sephora. $55 OK, I admit. This is another one on the top of my list. As a little girl, this was my all time favorite movie/fairy tail. I must have watched this movie over 1,000 times. So, this limited edition palette pretty much HAS TO BE mine. I LOVE it. The colors are beautiful, and the quality is actually REALLY amazing. I was VERY impressed with the color pay off and creamy texture of this palette.

L’OCCITANE Hand Cream Bouquet $50.  I  absolutely love this hand cream and this set comes with 6 different fragrances and designs. This would be a perfect set to buy if you wanted to split them up if you had multiple people to give gifts too. I also love the packaging and box this set comes in!

Lorac Pro Palette $42. This is the absolute most perfect eye shadow palette I have seen in a long time. It is so versatile. 9 matte neutral shadows ranging from white to black and 9 shimmery colors you can wear alone or with the matte shadows. I LOVE this palette and have to have it as an artist. The shadows are buttery smooth, and it is a great value!

Talk to you all tomorrow! Don’t forget to subscribe to see every gift guide post this month!

Lovelo Picks- Lip Sets and Collections for Holiday 2012

Hey Guys!

I feel like lip gloss is one of those things that women can never get enough of. We always have a million, and we tend to carry a million with us, for those “just in  case” moments. I know I’m guilty. I carry a red, pink, coral, clear, plumping, and hydrating gloss just because they all serve different purposes and I never know which I’m going to “need”. Here are some holiday lip sets worth checking out!!

Kisses On My List Lip Set by Anastasia Beverly Hills.  ($30) A set of 6 high shine matte and shimmery glosses. I can’t say enough good things about these glosses. They are beautiful, hydrating, feel good on your lips, plump, and the applicator is a spatula type that makes application really easy. I LOVE this set, and think it is a great value!

Mally 10 Piece Slimline Lip Gloss Library.  ($44) This set is available on QVC and is AMAZING quality and variety of colors if you can get your hands on it through the holiday. They are liquid lipsticks, so they have great color pay off , are super smooth and creamy and have very high shine. Plus, an added bonus is,  they smell like sweet tarts! <3

Luxe Lip Gloss Collection from Napoleon Perdis. ($39) These glosses feel as luxurious as they look. These are a very lightweight gloss and smell like brown sugar. This set comes in a variety of 5 great shades!

LuMesh  Lip Plumping Vitamin E Therapy Set.  LuMesh Lip glosses are actually one of my favorite glosses of all time. My favorite shade is Min. These feel amazing on your lips. They contain vitamin E and lip plumping properties. They are free of paraben, phthalates, sulfates and synthetic fragrances. Usually these retail at $24 a piece, but for limited time you can find sets of 3 for only $16.97. That is an amazing deal!!!

Hope you guys enjoyed this! Stay tuned for another post tomorrow. Remember, I’m going to be blogging everyday in December! If you don’t want to miss out on any posts, subscribe to the blog and check out my Facebook Page. 

Love, LAUREN
