Battle of the BB Creams

You might have guessed because of the title but I will be comparing two different BB Creams. Not American BB Creams but Korean BB Creams. Korean BB Creams are the real deal when it comes to light weight natural coverage foundations. BB stands for Beauty Balm because the products have added benefits in skin care that really foundations don't have. A lot of people think that BB Creams are glorified tinted moisturizers. They honestly are not Korean BB Creams have light to medium coverage and really can be used a foundation I chose to use my BB Creams any day over my Covergirl Outlast.

Recommendation Monday!

So this is part of a new series that I am calling Recommendation Monday. Where I make recommendations on books, movies, makeup, youtubers, snacks, apps etc. Comment down below if you have any recommendations that you would like to share.

Media.

1. Mary and Max
• So this week I have been loving me some netflix.  I watched some really good movies in the past couple of days. My favorite was a great claymation movie called Mary and Max. It was really well done and beautiful. The art was amazing I couldn't believe the attention to detail was put into this movie. It's instant go watch it. 
2. Tiny Tower (app)
• This is a really cute game, where you create an apartment building. It reminds me of a less sophisticated zoo tycoon. It is 8-bit animation and just so adorable. It you like games where it takes no skill or strategy then this is the game for you. 
3. Bloglovin (app/website) 
• Bloglovin a website where you can have a dashboard of all your favorite blogs. It makes it really easy to stay up to date because everything is all in one place. They have an app for the iphone which I'm always on (second to tumblr). 
4. 8tracks (app/website) 
1. 8tracks is a free music player where you can type in a mood or a genre of music and a playlists will pop up for your listening pleasure. I think this is a great app if you have wifi and you are sick of your own itunes library. It's a perfect mix of pandora and spotify.

Products

1. Revlon Matte Blams 
• I have been wearing them for a few weeks and I am in love with them. So smooth and amazing color. I have two colors a rose and a purple. 
2. Cerave Hydrating Cleanser 
• This is my all time favorite cleanser it so gentle and never makes my skin feel tight and dry. It doesn't lather it's just a clear cream and removes makeup and dirt. You can get it at the drugstore, the best part t it is not overpriced like some drugstore cleansers. It is a great winter cleanser, I just ran out a week and ago and repurchased a new bottle. I forgot how much I loved it until I my skin started to have dry patches because of the weather. Side-note it also works as a good brusher cleanser. 
3. 12 Hr Made to Last Eyeshadow Pencil in Continuous Almond 
• I have been using this as a base under my eyeshadows so they have something to stick to and it works pretty well. It doesn't prevent creasing (wear a primer under) but it does give a good base and makes the colors on top of it pop. 

Food 

1. Nature Valley Granola Thins Crispy Squares Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter 
• These little squares are my new snack obsession. They are soooooo good. I love dark chocolate and peanut-butter it is my favorite food combination. These are great breakfast food or mid meal snack because they are only 80 calories. I literally almost ate the entire box in one sitting but, I wouldn't recommend that. 
2. Yogi Mayan Cocoa Spice Tea
• This is one of the rare teas that tastes as good as it smells. It is a blend of chai spices with cocoa powder. I am obsessed. It is a bitter tea so I like to put sugar (stevia) in it and milk. I recently have been paring it with hazelnut creamer and it is AMAZING. 

I hope that this blog post was interesting. Again put your own recommendation in the comments and tell me whether you would like to see another of these next monday.

NARS Guy Bourdin Holiday Collection Limited Edition One Night Stand Cheek Palette

I have always lusted over NARS products especially their blushes. They are known for being so pigmented, smooth and just overall amazing. I love NARS but I'm not a huge fan of their prices, they are one of the most expensive high end brands (but not as bad as Dior). Around the holiday times NARS usually comes out with pallets that have multiple products for a great price (considering the individual price of their products). So I wanted blushes, and guess what NARS came out with an amazing blush palette with their two best sellers Orgasim (blush) and Laguna (bronzer).

Easy Eyes With Maybelline Color Tattoos

School has started I no longer have 30 minutes to leisurely my makeup anymore. I know, sad faces all around. Taking my time, and doing my makeup is so relaxing for me. Just to sit down at my desk, pay attention to my face, and apply products is very cathartic. But, when I am rushing to get to school I need quick makeup fixes to get me out of the door. So here is my quick and easy eye look, it should take you just a few minutes to do, and the best part NO brushes needed!

Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque (review)

Like all Shea Moisturize products it is free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, paraffin, gluten, propylene glycol, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance, PABA, synthetic color, DEA, animal ingredients.
