This is an $18.00 face brush from CVS ...$18.00! I swear, prices just keep going up with these new brands! Makeup Academy (MUA) is actually a company from England, and they are known to be extremely affordable, like e.l.f (eyeslipsface) prices and recently, they teamed up with CVS and created an entire line sold exclusively to CVS drugstores. So you will not be finding this brand at Target or Walgreens. RELATED BLOGPOST: MUA "Extreme Shimmer" Lipsticks Review For the most the MUA line (which consist of lip products, eyelashes, and brushes), prices are pretty reasonable, around $5.00-$10.00. So for this brush being a whopping $18.00, my expectations of this brush was up there.

I have a feeling that production of new "Nude Palettes" are not going slow down anytime soon and to be perfectly honest, I'm not mad about it, and I know for a fact I will keep buying them, even though I have enough to last me five lifetimes...I can't help it, I'm addicted! And here is my newest "Nude Palette" to add to my collection! The Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette, priced at $46.00 and can only be found at Sephora ( online and in-stores). 

Another new Matte Foundation and Powder for 2015! I'm not complaining, because I love a Matte look, and I am not complaining about Maybelline's take in their Matte line. I am also loving the fact that they decided to add this in their Fit Me! Line, which means more color selections, and that means a greater chance of finding a shade that fits your skintone! Right on the packaging it states that it is a "Matte" and "Pore-less" product. Two magical words that most of us, especially the oily-skin types, want from a foundation and a powder. "Matte" to keep us from looking shiny and helps control our oils, and "Pore-less" to give us a flawless complexion. Now who does not want that?

This is seriously "THE" perfect Spring Scent.  It is a beautiful combination of Fruit and Floral scents with Top Notes of Sun-kissed Apples, Dewy Pears, and Sparkling Cassis.  I have noticed that I am drawn to fragrances with the scent of Apples and Pears in them. There are something refreshing about the smell apples and pears, and it is also not too sweet. The fact that Beautiful Day has both of these scents in them makes it one of my favorite fragrances of all time (in Bath&Body Works Charts). I actually bought this on a whim when I was at the Bath&Body Works store, restocking on their hand sanitizers (they are amazing). Since I also had a coupon, I thought why not try a new Signature Fragrance. To be honest, the packaging was what drew me in. The Cover of the Box, Isn't it Beautiful!? The beautiful, brightly colored box called out my name, and who doesn't need a pretty box in their life? Luckily the scent was also heavenly nice. (Her...

This beautiful 10-pan eyeshadow palette is inspired by designer's "Must Haves" and of course, neutrals are on the list of desires! Who doesn't like a good neutral palette! And this is exactly what L'oreal created; two neutral, everyday wearable eyeshadow palette. These palettes are priced at $19.99 and are available in two different sets. Set 1 is called Nude 1; full of bronzy, warm tone shadows, and Set 2 is called Nude 2; where you will find the cool taupes and purples. They are set up very much like the Urban Decay Naked and Naked2 palettes. So I used the UD palettes as my reference on which one to buy, and since I like the Naked2 palette a lot more, I bought the L'oreal La Palette Nude2 .

It's hard to stick to a beauty regime when there are so many steps that you need to do every single day. You need to moisturize, tone, scrub, bath, and the list keeps on going. That is why...well in my case...I would skip a step or two every other day and applying body lotion is number one of the list. So when I heard about this in-shower conditioner or lotion that Nivea came out with, I thought, problem solved! Even Nivea claims that it is designed to be a more convenient way to moisturize. You don't have to step out of the shower. After cleansing your body with your usual soap or body wash, just slather this on. The water activates the lotion to immediately moisturize your skin, and voila, you are done.
