Ulta Beauty Haul March 2013

Hey Guys!

I’ve been dying to make more videos but haven’t been feeling all the best. I managed to film one this week but I was still feeling sorta sick. I figured it’d be pretty easy to show you guys what I got from Ulta. If you haven’t noticed already, I sorta go there frequently. The main reason is , I can usually always find good deals, and they have almost all the basics I need for jobs. They have a mix of high end and drug store priced makeup , so I love to look!

I hope you guys enjoy this video. I dressed in green , sort of in theme for St. Patricks Day coming up on the 17th. After all, I am irish. 

Enjoy my Ulta Haul…let me know if you have video requests.

Hope you will subscribe to my Youtube Channel and Check out my FACEBOOK page.

Love,

Lauren

Letting Go of Perfection: A Happy and Healthy New Year!

Hey Guys,

It’s been a while. I took quite a bit longer off from blogging than I planned. But it’s the new year, and I’m back and am going to be going to be blogging and video blogging at least a couple times a week! So, be sure you are subscribed to my blog, youtube channel and  Facebook Page so you don’t miss anything! 

Today I made a video on the topic of “perfection.” The obsession with being perfect. Since it is a new year, and everyone’s making resolutions and goals I wanted to have some input on this topic. Hope you enjoy the video! I can’t wait to share more with you guys this year.

Ecclesiastes 7:20- There is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins

1 Samuel 16:7 – …….the lord sees not as man sees; man looks at the outward appearance but the lord looks at the heart.

Love, Lauren

Fragrance and Skincare Gifts for Guys…Continued

I’d like to continue telling you guys about some fragrances for Men today that have been both approved by my husband and I.  If you’re looking for a fragrance for your guy for Christmas, one of these might just be a good choice!

James Bond 007. $30-40  With the new release of the movie Skyfall, this fragrance is sure to get your attention if you like James Bond Movies. The bottle is very cool, black and jagged. It smells very rich and musky, but in a good way. It almost reminds me of the classic Abercrombie and Fitch smell.

Hugo Boss Sport. $67  This fragrance is very fresh and citrus like. It has notes of grapefruit, yuzu zest and pink peppercorn to help increase the mind and body’s reflexes. It also contains lavender and cardamom. It definitely smells rich and manly but also citrus like and fresh at the same time. The bottle is pretty classic looking, very sturdy.

Guess Seduction. $65 3.4 oz This scent is described as a sophisticated scent for the modern man.  Notes of citrus caviar, blue coral aquaspace, cardamom and black pepper. The bottle is very sturdy and masculine looking.

Hope you all enjoyed this. Stay tuned for tomorrows gift guide post!! Everyday until Christmas there will be a new feature! Go check out my Facebook PAGE for constant updates on all my blogs and photos. 

Love,

Lauren

My Jewelry Secrets and Fashion Fixes…

Hey Guys!

Besides for makeup, jewelry is the other thing I LOVE to collect. There’s something about putting on a special piece of jewelry that makes you feel more glam or sophisticated.  However, the thing I’ve realized with jewelry is that  my taste changes frequently, so it’s hard to invest money in expensive pieces when I don’t know if it’s something I’ll love forever.

I like to play around with styles or necklaces, bracelets and earrings…and can’t afford expensive pieces. So, I’ve found a few tips along the way to find less expensive jewelry deals.

The first place I like to look is Ebay. Yes, believe it or not…I can find some really great deals on Ebay for jewelry, and I think it’s fun to bid on things and win if you get a really good deal. Everything I’ve gotten on ebay I’ve paid around $3 or less for. All you do is type in the search bar what you are looking for such as “rose gold bracelet”, then under the sort by tab, click “time ending soonest.” That way you can get your bids in right before it’s about to close, and be closer to winning!

Another place that I sometimes find great deals is Target. And, there’s a little secret to those clearance stickers. If the price on the sticker ends in “8″ , you can wait because that item will get lowered again. If the price ends in “4″ , that is the lowest the price is going, and you should snatch it up!

Lastly, do you ever find a ring that you love, but is too large, or earrings that are too heavy for your ears?? Well, the solution can be Blingguard. They have two different products, the blingdots are little sticky dots that go on the back of earrings and help the earring sit up on your ear, and prevent it from weighing down your ear. I LOVE these, because over the years of wearing heavy earrings, now I can wear them without worrying about them pulling my ear down. 

The other product is bling wraps which help to size your ring perfectly to your finger and keep it on your finger straight without turning and twisting around your finger. Comes with 30 disposable strips for $14.99

‘

These would be great stocking stuffers for a jewelry lover, with the holidays coming up!

My Favorite Drugstore Mascara and Eyeliners

 

Hi Everyone!

I get asked a lot about what type of eyeliner and mascara I prefer. Honestly, I’ve tried high end and drugstore, and I really think drugstore eyeliners and mascaras have come a long way and you can almost NEVER tell the difference between high end and some drug store mascara and eyeliners.

Here are my favorites:

These happen to be my favorite drugstore mascara and liners, but I would actually recommend these over high end they’re so good!!

1. Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-2 lash boosting felt tip eyeliner + Serum. This product is pretty new, I saw that it’s a felt tip black eyeliner with lash boosting serum in it?! For me, I love this because the thick marker is easy to use and draws a liquid line quickly, plus it goes on super black. I haven’t noticed that much of a difference in my lashes , but just knowing that it has serum that is supposed to help the thickness of your lashes has made me want to re-purchase this product!!!

2. Milani Liquif’eye Eyeliner in Black.  This eyeliner is best for lining the inner rim of your eye. It goes on dark and black, and is super smooth and creamy. It’s my favorite for the “inner rim” of your eye.  Plus, it’s under $10.

3. Cover Girl Lash Blast in Very Black. Honestly, I had heard about how GREAT this mascara was by tons of beauty gurus and blogs and I always put off trying it because I thought I had found the best. Well, this stuff is amazing! It gives good definition without clumps and lenthens and thickens. It’s my new favorite for sure!!!
