Products that make my day!

There are numerous products out there that I love but there are only a few that I reach for on a daily basis. It’s like having a cup of Joe in the morning in order to function for the remaining of your day. Here is a list of my all time go to products that I cannot bare to part with. I use them on a daily basis to make me feel Ooooh La-La!



Khiels Almond and milk honey scrub- Hands down this scrub is absolutely AWESOME! It reminds me of some type of butter cream. It’s thick and rich and I just LOVE how it feels on my face and skin. Just looking at it makes me go YUM! It leaves your skin feeling soft and subtle. Definitely a 10!

L’Oreal Volumous Mascara- Ahh my holy grail as I would like to call it. This is my far the BEST mascara. I am a mascara whore. I love mascara. I feel absolutely naked without it. I have tried so many but I always remain faithful to my L’Oreal.

YSL Touché Éclat- This brightener was a great investment. For the hefty bucks it cost I was very much pleased. It glides on super smooth. Leaving no lines. Leaving no heavy or sticky feeling. This is a great little splurge to carry. I definitely recommend it to everyone.

Laura Mercier tinted Moisturizer (sand)- I have dry sensitive skin. I love this product in the spring/summer because its very light weight. It keeps my face hydrated at the same time with a little coverage. It does not give a made up feeling at all.


St.Ives Invigorating Sugar body polish- When I bought this product the first time. I ran out the very next day and bought 3 more jars. This scrub is amazing and it smells soooooo good. It has a light fruity scent like a jar of melons. I absolutely LOVE this scrub. You know like how some scrubs can feel really hard on your skin because of the coarseness of the salt/sugar. Well this scrub is not harsh at all. It is very hard to find in the stores so your best bet is trying online. But if you happen to be in your drug store and you have to come across this product definitely grab a jar. You will be glad that you did.

NYC 2010 Mkup Show

Hey there fellow beauty bloggers! Hope everyone had a FAB weekend, my weekend was certainly eventful and exciting for the most part. I had the opportunity to attend the NYC makeup show again this year. I got there bright and early (8 AM to be exact). I was only able to spend about 5 hrs there which may seem like a good amount of time but another moment spent would have literally burnt a hole in my pocket. There were just so many things to see and so many great deals!!! It was all too tempting. Nonetheless, I was able to get my hands on some pretty good stuff. I had the pleasure of not only meeting Eve Pearl but I was lucky enough to get a make over. She plopped me on the chair and began to work her magic. I have read so many great reviews on her makeup line that I was eager to try her stuff out. She was totally amazing and she is great at what she does. A little of her product creates a total transformation. Second stop was over to the Makeup 4ever booth. It was like a mob scene. As always they had some great deals that people were just loving. Unfortunately I had my mind on O.C.C. I didn’t visit the booth just once. I went 3 times!! I just couldn’t help myself. I absolutely LOVE their products. I find not only are they so rich and pigmented but they are super easy to work with. I was def. a happy shopper this year. I can’t wait to get my hands dirty with all the goodies. Here are all the things that I got this year:

Back For Good!

Happy New Year All!! I can’t believe that we are in 2010. Seems like just yesterday I was enjoying a warm summer day. Nonetheless, this year I made a resolution to focus hardcore on my blog. There are many products that I am excited to talk about and a few that we’ve experimented with that completely have me head over heels. Before I go on and on I have to state this important disclaimer once again. I am an aspiring makeup artist. Everything that I blog about and the topics that I will discuss is solely based off of my personal experience, my thoughts, what I am feeling about something and my likes and dislikes. I don’t believe in taking someone else’s ideas or work and making it my own. There are many inspirational artists out there that work really hard to do what they do and I respect that. I might go off topic here and there but this blog is an insight to who I am and what makes me…ME!

So let the blog roll!!

~Mica Bella Mineral Pigments~

My darling husband was sweet enough to surprise me with the following mineral pigments. The colors are so pigmented with a touch of sheen that makes it so vibrant and lustrous. I haven't had a chance to play with these yet but I'm sure that's not a problem at all for me. Soon enough! :) I will most definitely most the pics of the colors once I get the chance to. I'm not a big fan of mineral eye shadows but some brands that carries pigments are not bad. I need to research this line further.

~YSL~

I went to check out the new YSL fall makeup collection @ Bergdorf Goodman the other day and I wasn't as thrilled as I thought I would have been about the collection. However, I was excited about this one product that I just had to have. Other than the mini make over by Inca a lovely Russian makeup artist, I also received an awesome gift in a cute box with a nice silver ribbon adding a classic touch. A trail size foundation, eye cream and facial moisturizer. What I truly loved about this experience was Inca didn't promote the products like most sales clerks do but she used various products from the makeup line that suited my needs. I absolutely fell in love with the TOUCHE ECLAT radiant touch conceal or. This acts as a highlighter that adds light to dark areas such as under the eyes, around the nose and the chin area. It goes on velvety smooth and it looks and feels amazing. It doesn't cake as most foundation concealers tend to that I've noticed and this is why I love this product. I also snagged a great voluminous mascara in burgundy. Its definitely a bit pricey but use it sparingly and a little sure goes a long way. Check it out!

FAB Lashes

So today I received my box of lashes and I am so EXCITED!!! I bought in bulk because lashes go really fast. My favorites are the Ardell Accents # 305 in black also aka the half doll lashes. I find that they look more natural and it enhances your eyes along the outer edge of your lashline. I will definately post the before and after pics soon.Promise!
