First Impression: Coconut Oil as Moisturizer

source

So I got this idea from the wonderful Niomi Smart, but for the past 3 days I've been using this on my arms and legs as my moisturizer. Can I say I've already noticed a difference too! My skin is just so soft and it looks and  feels a whole lot healthier too! 

First Impressions: Nars Skin

I've been using this nighttime treatment for a little over a week now & I already see a difference in my skin. It's so much more hydrated and healthier looking! It is a little oily when first applied but it soaks in pretty quickly. So far so good!

Wedding Bells

So my nephew Tyler & his new bride Raven were married last night & it was a bitter sweet moment! So excited that hes found such a wonderful lady to spend the rest of his life with, its just sad because it makes you realize how much time flies. Tyler and I are 5 years apart and were raised more like brother and sister & its such a hard thing to grasp that were all adults now.  Cannot wait to see what the future holds for them!

Beauty Blender

Can I just say I love these little squishy things. I find they work amazing. I love how they apply my foundation & their so easy to clean. I always felt like I was using them wrong. So I had found this chart and it explains what each one is used for. I'll post it below because maybe some of you aren't sure what their each for either.

Happy Birthday Matt

Mac Foundation First Impression

As I mentioned in my last blog post about my foundation dilemma.  I started using Mac Matchmaster Foundation 2 days ago and so far I'm loving it. It has a medium coverage and it stays in place all day. Also another thing I like is that if I touch my face, my make up doesn't come off. Which is always a plus. Hopefully I'll have another positive review for it in month or so.

You know how when you find that one perfect foundation you love and then one day you look and suddenly its not there anymore. Its a horrible feeling to describe, and my husband just cannot understand it. I always used Nars Sheer Matte Foundation and I loved it to pieces. About a month ago I ran out and I looked on Sephora to reorder it and Nars Sheer Matte was no where to be found, what so ever. So I then went to the store & they also had taken their display out and the ladies that work there could not tell me if it was discontinued or not. I even checked Nars website and its again no where to be found. *insert pouty face here*

So they recommended Nars Sheer Glow and I told the lady I cannot use that one because I have oily skin and that foundation makes it a lot worse. So then she pointed our Nars had another new foundation called All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation, so I figured why not give it a shot. Boy was I wrong. 

I find for my skin type it just doesn't work. Like the Sheer Glow it makes my skin so much more oily and it supposed to be a long wear foundation and I find by the end of the day it looked spotted and I would described it and giving you a chipped make up look. It wasn't smooth and blending as it was when I left my house. Also I find that it rubs off so easily. So all in all defiantly not my favorite. It may do better on someone else, but for me it just didn't work out. 

So recently I purchased Mac Matchmaster Foundation & hopefully I will find another foundation I love!!
