Top 5 Mac lipsticks

1.Myth
This is the PERFECT light nude color. I use it on top of another color I want to mute out a little of the color. So it doesn't look so bold. i never use it alone just because its too light for me and makes me look kind of sick. But I absolutely LOVE to use Myth on top of Honeylove to get the perfect nude lip ♥. 

2.Honeylove
Honeylove is this beyond BEAUTIFUL nude matte color. I can use this color alone or I love to use it with myth just because it gives a light ombre nude color. if that makes any sense. I never bought two of lipsticks of the same color but this one is a must have. ♥ 

3.Diva
MUST HAVE lipstick in your collection. this is most worn dark lipstick. I wore this all winter long. its so beautiful, and not too much. I use this with a lipliner from MAC called "Nightmoth". ♥♥ It actually darkens the color and makes it look more of a purple color. So beautiful I promise you. *Picture below has Diva alone on the top and then Diva with Nightmoth underneath it on the bottom.

4.Riri Woo
This lipstick is a lot like "Ruby Woo" by MAC but this color came out with Rihanna's line from MAC, and I have to say I love it a lot better. Its a lot more matte color to me and more of a blue undertone making your teeth look super white. Best RED Lipstick to own in your lipstick collection.

5.Kinda Sexy
This is my newest favorite lipstick. I back to mac this lipstick about a month ago and I have to say it's my number one color to use right now, I love it so much it has been on my lips ever since I got it. It's a peachy/pink matte color, and to me it's not as drying as a lot of reviews had said. I think it's the perfect pink nude. I also used it with Myth and it works together beautifully. ♥

*Myth, Honeylove, Diva, Riri Woo, Kinda Sexy ♥

Much Love

A little more update on everything, I had my ultrasound appointment to measure the baby and see how she's growing. I had that appointment on Friday July 11, and I guess they couldn't get all the pictures they needed because my bladder wasn't as full because I drank the water before my appointment instead of an hour before so they called me in for a second ultrasound on Monday July 21, and I did drink the water an hour before and the appointment went good. They got all the pictures needed. But OMG it was so hard to hold in that pee all that time well there pushing on I my bladder for the ultrasound.  Hard to do but I did it lol I know TMI right sorry :). But after that everything was okay. So now I'm waiting for my next doctor's visit the first week of August to get results. Super exciting, also this will be my last month visit I will be starting my every two weeks doctors appointments. Yay the time is going by so fast. ♥
Much Love

Although I am a little late in this I wanted to come on here and do my monthly favorites. I will try to do more monthly favorites but not sure as all my favorites are usually the same thing.
So starting off with my favorites

Lips

1. Baby Lips Dr Rescue Soothing Sorbet- I love the scent of this lip balm and the color payoff of the lip balm it’s so pretty and gives your lips a pretty pink shine. AMAZING…
2. Wet and Wild 902c Bare it all- I love all wet and wild lipsticks I think there so pretty but this color is my favorite by far it’s the prettiest nude I have. I use this all over my lips and use Mac lipstick in Myth over is and it is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL…
3. MAC Myth- Myth is one of my favorites from Mac just because it goes so pretty with so many other color lipsticks. It’s really a beautiful Nude with pink undertone.
4. MAC Diva-MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE dark lipstick it is a must have lipstick for the fall. Its dark purple, black cherry so flattering. LOVE LOVE LOVE
5. Mac Lip liner Night moth- This lip liner is so pretty with dark lips to make the lipstick a little darker. My go to lip is night moth with Diva on top…

Face

1. No7 Photo Fix Wrinkle Filler and Primer- My niece gave this to me from her job and I have to say I love it. It works really well as a primer I notice my foundation has lasted about 12 hours.
2. Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder 020 Nude Beige- I love my Mac powder but I wanted a powder that didn’t cost me $30 so I bought this and I have to say I love it. It works really well and I get a lot of people asking about my makeup. It does keep me matte most of the time.
3. Nyc Bronzing Face Powder 720A Sunny-This bronzer is really good for the price it’s amazing. I love it not to orangey and gives you a nice tan looking bronze.
4. MAC Mineralize Skin finish Natural Give Me Sun!- This bronzer is a must I love it works so well and love the bronze it gives me I use this one over the NYC in sunny. Love it together.
5. Mac Blush Buff-I love this blush it gives a light pink tone to your cheeks very pretty.

Brows

1. E.L.F Crème eyeliner Coffee-I started using this for my eyebrows and works sooo well I love it and the best part is it is only $3.00. My favorite right now.
2. E.L.F Brow Gloss- I thought I give this a try and I love it. It sets my eyebrows keeps them from being all over the place. Works amazing and only a dollar.

Eyes

1. Urban Decay Naked Basics –I used this palette a lot this month it has all the neutral colors I want on my eyes so it is my go to palette. I love it.
2. Mac eye shadow Embark & Brown Script - Love these two eye shadows combined. Embark is a dark brown very pretty for a Smokey eye, and Brown Script is a really pretty copper looking color I use for my crease area. Love them very pretty.
3. Ardell Glamour Lashes Wispies-My all-time FAVORITE lashes. These lashes are so beautiful. I use these on the daily.

Nails

1. NYC nail polish Manhattan- I’ve been into the dark purples for fall and this is a really pretty dark not so dark like black because you can see the purple but it’s a deep purple I love it.
2. China Glaze Nail polish Evening Seduction- my favorite polish for the fall. Very pretty dark purple. During the day you can see the purple but at night it looks like black. Very pretty.
So those are my monthly favorites for November hope you enjoyed it and until next time …

Naked Basics

I recently purchased the "Naked Basics by Urban Decay" and fell in love. I'm the type to carry my makeup with me so I can do touch ups when ever needed, so I would prefer to have my makeup in my bag. That's why I was considering the Naked Basics because of how compact it is, but I had heard that it wasn't that special if you already have the Naked or the Naked 2 it would be a waste of money. I so do not agree.
I decided to go out and buy it and I love it more the my Naked palette if that's even possible. :) On the first Naked palette there are a lot of shimmery colors which I do like but I prefer to use my neutrals almost every day and I gotta say the Basics has it all I love it. On an everyday basis I used the three colors "Venus, W.O.S, Naked2" with a light pink lip and I'm ready for the day. I love that they are pigmented and so pretty and basic, also small enough to throw in your purse for touch ups.
The Naked Palette is priced $27 and there 6 eye shadows they are
Venus which is my favorite highlight its off-white demi-matte color to it,
Foxy its a light yellow/white matte color,
Walk of Shame" I use on my lid its a light nude matte color,
Naked2 a beautiful taupe matte color used in my crease,
Faint a dusty brown matte color
Crave its deepest, darkest brown/black matte color


Hope you enjoyed this review. This review is based on my personal opinion and it was purchase with my own money. Till next time

10. Maybelline Define a Brow –Light Brown

-I love this eyebrow pencil it has a fine tip and makes my brows amazing. I go with a light color as I love my brows lighter and it just looks really good.



So that’s my 10 products I will repurchase if anything happens to them. Tell me what your favorites are I would love to see them.

Review on Proclaim Argan Oil Intense Hydrating Masque

Hey Lovely’s I decided to do my first product review on the Proclaim Argan Oil Intense Hydrating Masque. I’ve had this product for about a month and I use it every other day or two as kind of my conditioner and I absolutely LOVE this product. Everything about it is amazing. The packing is really nice I love that it comes in a jar and you just scoop it up with your fingers. The smell is awesome I love it I can smell it all day, but to me I find that the scent doesn’t last on your hair all day no big deal but I would have loved it 20x more lol. The first time using the product I washed my hair then applied the masque on my hair waited almost 10 minutes and washed it out. I let my hair air dry and I can just feel the smoothness and my hair didn’t feel dead on the ends to be honest lol. Then I read some reviews on how others use it and so I tried what some people said they did and it was to put in on your hair and put a bag and some heat to it. I found that worked really well and once a week I put in on and would sleep with it over night. The next day I felt my hair was so soft and felt more flexible and alive. It’s a very good product in my view and I will definitely buy this again. It’s affordable and works amazing, Sally’s Beauty Supply sells it for $5.99. I don’t know how long that sale will last so hurry and get yours. Hope you enjoy my review and let me know what you think about the Proclaim Argan Oil Intense Hydrating Masque, or any other Masque you find works amazing. I love trying new things. Until next time stay beautiful

Price: $5.99-7.99

Size: 16 oz.

Pros: Gives shine, Moisturizes hair, removes frizz, smells amazing, see results on the first try

Cons: Nothing

Saturday's Look

On Saturday I went with a little eyeshadow. As lately I've been just with just eyeliner, and since then i used it everyday i just love it so much lol. The eyeshadows I used were all Mac shadows on my eye lids I have Embark, in the crease I used cork and under my eyebrow I used Blanco type ... On my lips are a mix of my two favorite Mac Lipsticks one is Myth and the other is Snob. This has been my go to look for a couple days now and I just love the combination of them both ..
Hope you Enjoy ... Until next time
