February Beauty Favorites

So today I wanted to share my February favorites! This is my favorite thing to watch on You tube and read about on blogs so I am going to try and make it a point to post this every month :)

Naked 3 Palette $52: At first I was very skeptical about this product because the hype was so high and I was unsure how much I really enjoyed it. There is a bit of fall out on some of the shadows but the color payoff and staying power is worth it! I'm slowly becoming a huge fan, for some reason its just taking me a while.

Nars Translucent Powder $35: I accidentally bought the loose version of this and wanted to buy the compacted version but I am so glad I got this one. It is the perfect setting powder for your concealer. It makes your skin feel velvety smooth.

Estee Lauder Double Wear $37: This foundation is very full coverage and matte. I only like to wear this foundation with the Loreal Magic Lumi because it makes my skin have a luminous feel mixed with full coverage foundation. If you follow me on Instagram you will know how much I am in love with this product!

Mac Prep and Prime $25: This orange primer I use under my eyes before I put on concealer to conceal my dark undereyes. I have always had dark blue under eye circles and the orange in this product counteracts the blue. It also keeps my concealer on all day long.

Lorac Front of the line Pro liner $25: I received this as the free gift with the Lorac palette and it makes winged eyeliner so simple. I have had this liner for months now and the felt tip has yet to become even the least bit dry.

Loreal Butterfly mascara $9: I have mentioned this in my drugstore mascara review but I had to include it in my monthly favorites. This is my new go to mascara for work. It makes my lashes so long and full, seriously go out and buy it! The wand is not like most and a little scary at first but its easy to get used to.


Mario Badescu facial spray $7: Heaven! This facial spray is made to even out the tones on your skin and I do think it calms down on redness. I use this nightly after I wash my face. I am in love with the rose smell and the way it makes my skin look.


That's all for this month. Hope you guys enjoy!

Hugs,
Tara

WOW WEDNESDAY | BUXOM LIP CREAM



I'm finally back with a Wow Wednesday!! I have been overwhelming busy the month of February with work, packing, trying to find a house, our honeymoon and just life in general so please understand the lack of posts. 

On this beautiful Wednesday I decided I would look back in my archive pictures (with moving I was in no mood to find the camera and charger and take new pictures) and see what product I wanted to use for my "wow-ness." Buxom was a product I knew nothing about until the lovely Jaclyn Hill talked about it in one of her videos. 

I decided to pick up the color "White Russian" which at first I thought would be a more mauve color than it really is. It gives any lip color you put on the perfect amount of sheen and makes your lips look plump and gorgeous! I have contemplated many times running out and buying every color in the line but with my beauty budget I need to think more realistic. I have owned this lip cream for about 4 months now and I truly love this product and one day I will own more :)



Hope you guys enjoy this short and to the point Wow Wednesday, I promise once we move I will be back on track with regular weekly updates.

Leave me a comment below on what you would like to maybe see a review on or any ideas you would like me to write about. I love writing for your enjoyment :)

Hugs,
Tara
