A Beauty Recap

I've mentioned this before but I'm going to say it again, makeup and beauty supplies make me a lot happier than clothes or bags.

Here are my latest obsessions...

So remember seeing and hearing all about those Revlon Lip Butters and how amazing they are? Well, all that hype you heard was right. I purchased my first Lip Butter from Ulta the other night and absolutely love it. It's so creamy but offers a great color all in one little tube. I purchased the Berry Smoothie color which looks like a slightly darker pink and I thought would be a different change for my typical lip color (if I wear color at all it's usually in the light pink color) however I discovered that it's really not that much darker than my natural lip color so it looks really pretty on but really not that different. Another color I was looking at getting was the Strawberry Shortcake color because the pink is just so beautiful but since I already have a few lipsticks that color I wanted to try something new. I also really want to get the Cherry Tart which is a true vibrant red but the whole red lip thing is a little intimidating. What do you think? Should I try it?



I've also been obsessed with highlighting/contouring my cheeks lately with Benefit Cosmetics. I'm not sure what the product is actually called because I got it awhile ago (and the writing on the bottom is in a foreign language?) but here is a picture of it. 


It definitely slenderizes your face and adds some depths. Kandee offers a few other options for highlighting and how to do it correctly here and here.

I've also been tuning into Veronika's Blushing a lot for her makeup and beauty routine tips. I love that she doesn't wash her hair everyday (because it's not healthy AND a pain in the ass) and reviews products that I love. Also she has a great knack for sale shopping.

I love this post about her typical hair routine and this one about how to look effortlessly amazing 90% of the time.

Okay, I think that's it for my latest beauty round-up.

Have a great Super Bowl Sunday!

Love&Luck
