NYX Simply Nude Lip Cream

I just found this NYX Lip Cream at CVS and I love it! I had to do a review of it so I could share with everyone how great it is. I am showing 3 colors from the Simply Nude line. The other two nude colors in the collection I am missing are the two lightest ones, which I didn't buy because those tend to be too light for my skin tone. 

These lip creams are very light weight on your lips, you can barely notice that they are on. They are super easy to apply and I fell in love right when I put it on. They last a long time and don't crack on your lips, I love them!!

The first color is Sable. Sable is the darkest color in the simply nude collection. It is a red/brown color and is so beautiful. It is perfect for fall and winter. It is very creamy, matte, and light on my lips, I love it!

This color is called Exposed. Exposed the second darkest in the simply nude collection and is probably my favorite one on me. It is more orange/brown and is also very creamy, matte, and light weight on my lips.  It is also perfect for fall!

This last color is called Disrobed. It is the color in between the lightest and darkest in the collection. It has more of a shine to it than the others, which makes it crack a little more on my lips than the other two (still not a lot). This color is a perfect everyday color!

You can also buy them at your local CVS (the sticks tend to break easily, so buying them in the store may be a better option than ordering online)

Lotus Shampoo & Conditioner

Lotus Rx Hair Solution shampoo and conditioner helps with a dry scalp and nourishing hair. It is sulfate and salt free, which is way better for hydrating your hair and safe for colored hair!

I tried it and after 3 days I noticed a difference in my hair. My scalp is not dry all the time (on and off), but recently my hair was very damaged from coloring and heat tools. After using this my hair felt SO soft! It also felt lighter and cleaner. Almost like I had chemicals that were weighing my hair down before and this product washed those away. This shampoo and conditioner made my hair feel a lot healthier.

If you suffer from dandruff and color your hair, you have got to try this. There is no other product on the market like it.

Dress up Your Casual Look

The lipstick I am wearing is Kylie Cosmetics. It is part of the KKW nude lip set. Color Kimmie is the one I am wearing, which is my favorite one from the set. 
All of the liquid lipsticks are gorgeous! They are wet on your lips and shiny. They do not dry out your lips and they are very pigmented. They do come off very easily though, if you drink water or eat. And they do not stay on too long, you have to reapply quite a bit. But I love the colors and the look, so it is worth it!

My Favorite Eyeshadow Palettes!

I am showing you guys my favorite eyeshadow palettes and why I love them! The two I am holding in the first picture are my favorite ones and the ones I wear the most. I will go through each of them below. :) 

Here are all of my favorite palettes to use! Naked 3, Tarteist pro, Naked 2 Basics, and Kyshadow. 

The Naked3 Palette is probably the palette I use the most and is my absolute favorite! The main reason is because I love pink, and all of the colors are a hue of pink or go with pink. There is also a mixer of matte, shimmer, and sparkles in it, which is great. The color goes on easily and lasts all day! I like this palette because the colors look more natural, they add something extra, but nothing too extreme. If you are a pink lover, I would highly recommend this palette!

My next favorite palette is this Tarte one, tarteist pro Amazonian clay palette. These colors are bold and bright! If you love to wear bold colors, this is the palette for you. The eyeshadow goes on really well, you don't need to get a lot of it on your brush in order for it to show. The pigmentation is amazing, better than Urban Decay (Naked) in that area. To add an extra bonus, it also has a great scent!

The Naked2 Basics is a great eyeshadow to wear if you are in a rush and don't have time to decide what color to put on. Or, if want to wear something basic and natural. It is nice to have the small one with just the necessary colors, I don't need anymore than what this one provides. The pigmentation is good, same as Naked3, goes on very well!

Lastly, is this little palette I bought from Kylie Cosmetics as part of the Valentines Day special, so it is not available anymore. I got this small one so I could try out what the Kyshadows are like, before spending money on a whole palette. And I can tell you that these two eyeshadows are great. The pigmentation is very good, goes on easily and smoothly!

Nilotic Skincare

         This is an anti age creme that helps to hydrate your skin! I have suffered from dry and sensitive skin, as well as eczema, and have been searching for a product that will actually work. And this product did! I didn't have any bad reaction to it and it went on my face so smoothly. Also, a little goes a long way because it will spread on your face as time goes on, so you don't need to purchase a new product all the time. It has some serious hydrating abilities!!

        You can use this on your face, body, or lips! I was so shocked when one product could be used on all 3. It a natural gift from the Nile that Ugandans have been using for years! This creme works for all skin types, because there are no chemicals or toxins.

     

ALSO! When you purchase a product you pay for 3 weeks of school fees for a disadvantaged child in Uganda. And, you help to fund the planting of 3 trees in the West Nile region of Uganda. So many benefits from purchasing this product, I would highly recommend!

You can see a barcode on the side of the package, if you scan this, you can view the details of the child you helped!

Marc Jacobs Coconut Gel Highlighter

I never was one to use highlighter because I didn't think you really needed it. I like to look natural and wear only a minimal amount of makeup in order to look the way I want. BUT I got this free product from Influenster and Marc Jacobs Beauty, so I tried it out. I ended up loving it! It added a nice glow to my complexion while still looking subtle, which is what I like. You can add more or less depending on your preference but I thought it added a lot to my face by just adding a small amount! It worked well on my pale skin, which I was worried about when it looked orange in the package, and it smelled great! I highly recommend this product and I will definitely be using highlighter from now on. #coconutglow
