Hello Beauties!
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to attend MAC's Passport to Style - Styleseeker event held at my local Belk. The purpose of the event was to showcase the new Styleseeker Collection now available at MAC, which includes a palette of beautiful fall colors. The event included a live model, makeup consultations and the opportunity to have your picture taken.

Hello Beauties!
I recently noticed that many other bloggers are incorporating their favorite beauty products into their blogs to share. I wanted to do the same! These are just a few products that I love!
[From LEFT to RIGHT...]
1. MAC Eyebrow Pencil -- Eyebrow pencils had always been in my "drugstore shopping list." It wasn't until I read another blogger talking about this pencil and I decided to give it a try. O-M-G! Not only does it go on smooth, but it literally lasts all day! Love, love, love!
2. Make Up For Ever Full Cover Concealer -- Lately, I have begun branching out and trying new products. In talking to a beauty advisor at Sephora, this product was recommended. Let me just say... I can say hands down that this is the BEST concealer I have EVER used! I say this because I can put this concealer on and not only does it cover up undereye circles, but I can wear it alone without anything else and appear to have flawless skin. A must have!
3. Bare Minerals Flawless Definition Mascara -- This little treat came in a Sephora gift I recently received. I'm one of those people that are very picky with mascara because I desire volume and length. This little baby gives me both. I have never really been a Bare Minerals fan before, but I could see myself purchasing this because it makes my lashes beautiful.
4. Milani Lip Flash -- I believe everyone knows that I'm a big fan of long lasting lip color. With all I have to do in a day, I need it! This little baby reminds me a lot of the Sephora lip pencils that I mentioned in a previous blog, which you can find HERE. They do not last as long but for half the price, I'll say it's a major keeper!
5. MAC "Straight to the Head" Lipgelee -- Hands down, THIS is my favorite lip gloss of all time. MAC packaged awesomeness in a container with this. If you're a fan of shimmer and nudes, this is your baby right here. It's sort of a copper, champagne-ish type of color that I can literally wear with anything. If you're a fan of lip gloss, this is a must have for your collection.

Hello Fashionistas...
...or maybe this time I should say Beauties!
I bet you all didn't think I'd be back so soon, did you? I told you I was back in action. I'm coming at you with my TOP five, favorite beauty products. New beauty products are constantly being introduced on the scene. I love to try new products. Four of these products are new products (for me at least) that I really have fallen in love with while one is a constant fave of mine. Let me show you what I'm talking about...
1. Aveeno Ultra Calming Moisturizing Cream Cleanser ($7)
*If anyone has any questions on these products, feel free to comment or e-mail me. As always, God bless!

| [L-R: Aveeno Ultra Calming Moisturizing Cream Cleanser, Clinique All About Eyes Cream, Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover Pads, MAC Prep & Prime, & E.L.F Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths] |
- I found this cream in Target a few weeks ago on clearance as you can see. I was in the market for a good cleanser to use on my face AFTER makeup removal. I found this as I was browsing around. I've always thought highly of Aveeno because quite frankly, I like their products. I decided to give it a whirl and I will admit... I really like this. It's very moisturizing. It feels good to my skin after a long day. Sometimes your face can feel somewhat dry after removing makeup. This cleanses and adds moisture. This may be because it doesn't contain soap. Ah ha!
- [FYI: This is only the sample size.]
- Can I just say that I love this? You all do NOT understand. This cream is awesome. I started using this cream because I noticed when I add concealer under my eyes, it was beginning to look cakey. It was recommended to use a heavier cream under the eye. OMG... This is so moisturizing. My eyes look smoother and brighter. I use this DAILY.
- Ladies, ladies, ladies... If you are not using these, please get these in your life. I use these daily. These pads are so gentle but effective. I just wet them a little with warm water and it takes all the makeup off both eyes...even waterproof. It's so gentle on your eyes.
- I believe that if you really want to have good makeup application, you ALWAYS need to use primer. I absolutely love this primer. It's thick so it gives a moisturizing feel but also, it's GREAT for people with combination/oily skin like myself. It reduces the amount of oil on my face.
- As you all may know from a previous blog, I'm a big E.L.F fan. I love affordable yet GOOD products. E.L.F always delivers! I take my makeup off daily with these cloths. They get all the makeup off with one sheet. I think next time I order these online [because I haven't seen them in stores], I will buy them in bulk. Definitely worth it!

Hello Fashionistas!
I hope that you all enjoyed your Christmas! :-)
Now that Christmas is coming to a close, I know that many of you are getting ready for New Year's Eve. By New Year's Eve being on a Friday this year, I can only imagine the events you all have to attend! Well, don't worry because I'm here to provide another tip on how to sparkle throughout this holiday season and trust me, this tip will add some sexiness to complete your New Year's Eve look.
Now... Anyone who knows me, knows I love...L-O-V-E...red lipstick. I love bright red all the way to deep red, matte to shiny. I have always thought of red as a beautiful color for all skin tones. Red is not only timeless and classic, but sophisticated. A red lip can truly complete your look AND make your smile appear whiter. [There's been studies on this fashionistas!] Red lipstick is a beauty must-have!
I have several red lipsticks and glosses on my vanity, but I have chosen three of my favorites to share with you all. I have chosen these three because they are not only long lasting, but also easily accessible and not too expensive. I also have taken a few photos of them on my lips so you can get a feel for them. [Note: My flash was on.]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Revlon Matte Lipstick - Strawberry Suede ($7)
[Rite Aid or Any Local Drugstore]
I recently purchased this lipstick during a BOGO event. I am in love with this lipstick! Not only is it affordable, but it lasts a long time on your lips. The matte texture allows it to adhere and stay longer on your lips. Also, this is not a shockingly bright red. Due to the flash, it came off as a pinkish color. In natural lighting, it's a lighter red. This can be worn to the office or out. [Note: I recommend applying lip balm before this lipstick.]
2. mark Gloss Gorgeous Stay On Lip Stain - Lolli ($9)
[Local Avon Representative OR http://www.avon.com/]
Before purchasing this lip stain, I had never really used a lip stain before. I had seen several commercials for lip stains, but never really tried them because they appeared to be dry on the lips. I saw this advertised in a Mark by Avon book and was intrigued by the description. The description stated that the lip stain starts out glossy and then turns into a long lasting stain. I decided to give it a whirl and I'm glad I did. This lip stain is awesome! It does exactly like I described and it's won many beauty awards from magazines. This lipstick is perfect for when you're on the go and don't have time to constantly re-apply lipstick. Plus, it's very soothing to the lips...something we ALL need in winter! Can be worn to the office or out. [Note: Due to the flash, it appears to have more of a pink hue, but it's more of a lighter red and becomes darker as the gloss fades.]
3. MAC Dare to Wear LipGlass - Bold & Brash (Varies)
[No longer available through MAC -- Try http://www.ebay.com/]
Now you all KNOW I loves me some MAC! Yes! I have been a MAC fan since early college and that's because MAC has some of the best products! One thing I've always loved about MAC are their lipglasses. Talk about AWESOMENESS! I was introduced to this little tube in particular back in August. The formula of this is supposed to be like a lip gloss; however, it's thicker so it lasts longer. This lip gloss is simply gorgeous and I've never seen any red like this before. This red is more of a deeper color with sparkles. The sparkles are not frosty so it's very wearable without being too bright. This lipstick is perfect for going out or date night. Not very suitable for the office.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If any of you all are wondering, I did not use a lip pencil for any of the photos. I usually don't use one, but if I do, I use MAC's lip pencil in Redd. [Not a typo, haha!]
