e.l.f's BB Cream is one of the heaviest coverage BB Creams I had ever tried. The product is thick and creamy, and can easily pass for a foundation. Even with the heavy consistency, it still blends into the skin beautifully.  RELATED POST:  BB Cream: Lumene Bright Now Vitamin C BB Cream SPF 20 It is a bit on the oilier end, so it is perfect for those with dry skin. Unfortunately I have oily combination skin, so I do need to set this with a powder, and even then I would need to blot my face with a blotting paper half-way through the day. Even so, I do enjoy how this product looks on my skin. The coverage is beautiful, dewy and not heavy.

This is a perfect look for the New Year Celebration to come. It's bright, metallic and eye catching, but still mellow enough for those that enjoy looks more on the subtle-side throughout the year.  This look is created by using Kat Von D's New Limited Edition Eyeshadow Palette called "Innerstellar" . You can find this palette at Sephora, at $46.00. You can find my full review of this palette here, but in this post, I will be sharing with you on how I achieved this eye look, and which products I used.

Today I present to you, Kat Von D New Limited Edition Eyeshadow Palette. Isn't it beautiful! The moment I saw this come available at Sephora for VIB and Rouge members, I immediately placed an order.  After playing around with it a couple times, I have a few opinions formed about it and I would like to share it with you as well as swatches of each eyeshadow. 

Another look from the beloved Urban Decay Vice 3 Palette and this time I came up with a look that fits the holidays perfectly. There's something about the cranberry or berry colors that screams Holiday appropriate, so I knew I had to use the berry column (column #4) in the Vice 3 palette to do a Festive Themed look.

Happy Holidays everyone! Today I will be sharing with you a gift I made for someone special in my life. One of the greatest things in life is not only the people in your life, but the memories you share with them. So I decided to enclose a few photo memories into a clear ornament as a gift of treasured moments.

"THE ORIGINAL.THE BEST. AND STILL YOUR FAVORITE."                                                                                           -BURT'S BEES- THIS QUOTE SAYS IT ALL ABOUT HOW I FEEL ABOUT BURT'S BEES' "ORIGINAL" BEESWAX LIP BALM. I HAVE TIRED THE OTHER SCENTS/FLAVORS THAT BURT'S BEES HAVE TO OFFER BUT I COULD NEVER STRAY TOO FAR FROM THE ORIGINAL FOR LONG.

I am absolutely in love with the way this tree came out! It is just so beautiful, and it screams "White Christmas". I have it on display right now in my living room with a few tiny presents, white reindeers, and a nutcracker. Everytime I look in that general area, it just brings a smile to my face. 

I first heard about this mascara from a fellow YouTuber, Lauren Curtis, and she raved on and on about it, that of course, I just had to see what the fuss was all about and since it was only $2.99, it didn't hurt the wallet.  And let me tell you, I LOVE THIS MASCARA!  This definitely made its way to my top five of Drugstore mascara. 

It still amazes me on how my skin changes with the season. I enjoy winter because of the Holidays, but I do not enjoy the bitter cold (as if the Bay Area gets extremely cold to began with...*sarcasm*) because cold weather means dry skin. The dry skin hasn't been too bad on my face the past couple of years, since I have my skincare routine down, but for my hands...it is truly brutal. Luckily, I have found some products that helped me along these harsh times, and today I would like to share them with you, as well as, other products I have been loving for the past few weeks. 

Beautiful, beautiful combination. It is seriously the perfect holiday-nailcolor. In order for me to get this color, I had to layer two nail polishes together. **My sincere apologies about the state of my nails. The nails were ruined within a hour after application due to the fact I never give enough time for the polish to dry completely and I thought it was a great idea to do the dishes, but seriously, who has time to sit around for a few hours?**

Freeze is definitely the most unique shadow in the Vice3 palette for me. I just love how it is this shimmery, muted cloudy-gray blue. The color reminds me of how the sky looks through a stormy cloud. So I figured a shadow like this deserves something more than the usual looks I usually do...so I settled on a more dramatic look. So this is what I came up with.

It's that time of the year again, when I do not like the weather very much because the cold weather makes my hands and cuticles all chapped! Sometimes there is nothing worst than a handful of painful hangnails or random cuts on your hands due to extremely dry hands. Also, for a person who has the worst memory to remember to put on moisturizer every night before bed (most of the time its due to laziness), having a winter condition like this is the worst thing ever! Luckily I have the best body lotion with me for this winter! I know it's a "body" lotion and not a "hand" cream, but it works just as great as a hand cream, and it is the Yes to Carrots Body Moisturizing Lotion. I have been a huge fan of this lotion ever since it came out. I remember those days working at Walgreens, and being all excited about this new line coming in. The company gave the store this Body Moisturizer as a tester, and I remembered using it every time I worked because I just love ...
