Beautyblender
has done it again, these mini bundles of joy will truly change your life. Made
of the same great open cell structure, water absorbing, soft and spongey
quality material that doubles in size (just like its much bigger sister) that
allows you to apply your favorite products in tighter places. Since size
matters, believe me when I say being little in this case is a good thing, it
fits perfectly in any cosmetic bag making it ideal for touch ups.

This
lipstick applies very well as it is super creamy. And of course a yummy scent
of sweet vanilla always helps. This is one of those colors you’d see Barbie
wearing, fun loving summer pastel pink with a unique twist. The formula is
perfect in my opinion long wearing without drying your lips or staining which
seems to happen with a lot of long wear colors.

The
cream itself is not greasy or oily in any way and instantly made my skin feel
so much softer to the touch. Overnight as it worked its magic I woke up to soft
supple radiant skin fully feeling moisturized and ready for the morning sun.
This is one of those magic in a jar potions that anyone with sensitive skin or
concerns of moisture loss would highly benefit from.

When it comes to switching colors this nifty tool has so far beat any
wipe or cleaner with no wait time to dry. As the dirty bristles come into
contact with the sponge and are agitated back and forth you can see a little
cloud rising to makeup heaven, oh we will miss you colorful particles!

12 Wants of Christmas!
Trying to find that right shade of lip color can be overly
complicated. So with this week’s wants I looked beyond the drugstore counter
and found three I would love to find in my stocking this year!
Luscious lip products:
1.
Gerard Cosmetics Buttercup Lipstick
This lipstick apparently not only leaves an
easy to apply nude color but has a distinct “creamsicle scent” that anyone
would love. Jacklyn Hll, beauty guru and YouTube star, had a hand in creating
this specific color as she has teamed up with Gerard Cosmetics and has her own
line with them.
2.
Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture
YSL has been an iconic name in the fashion
and beauty industry for decades. I came across this lipstick and fell in love
with #10 Beige Tribute. Highlights to this designer lipstick are; “stay-true
color”, “all day” wearability, and a “radiant satin finish”. Having so many shades you will find one you love as well!
3.
Jeffree Star – I’m Royalty
What more could you ask for if you are a
Diva?! I don’t know…THIS LIQUID LIPSTICK!! Truly one color that will make a
statement. “100% vegan & cruelty free” are great selling points but the
best ones to me are it being “paraben” free as well!

12 Wants of Christmas!
For this week’s wants I thought about
products that are for the face. Of course a foundation made the list but the
other two are focused on skin care.
Flaunting face products:
1. Mario Badescu Facial Spray – Aloe,
Herbs, and Rosewater
$7 - $12 www.mariobadescu.com
“A refreshing hydrating mist to
use anywhere, anytime. Simply formulated with fragrant herbal extracts and rosewater
for a pleasant pick me up for dehydrated, tight and uncomfortable skin. Spray
your day and night creams for boost of hydration or use it to set makeup.“
2.
MAC Studio FIX Fluid – NW10
“A modern foundation that
combines a natural matte finish and medium buildable coverage with broad
spectrum uva /uvb spf 15 protection. Applies, builds and blends easily and
evenly. Comfortable and long-wearing, helps minimize the appearance of pores
and imperfections, giving skin a smoother more flawless look and finish.”
3.
Lush – Mask of Magnaminty
$12.95 - $24.95 www.lushusa.com
This is a deep-cleansing face and
body mask made from China clay and fresh peppermint. Giving you that delightful
tingly-clean sensation knowing the mint is working. Lush adds loads of aduki
beans to exfoliate flaky dry skin, vanilla absolute to calm redness and honey
to soothe. “This formula has been expertly rebalanced so there’s no need to add
any synthetic preservatives- it’s completely self- persevering.”

12 Wants of Christmas!
For this week’s wants I thought about
products that are focused around keeping fresh and clean. So here are my Come
Clean Top Three wants!
Keep It Clean
1. Philosophy Pink Marshmallow
Buttercream
$24 + shipping www.sephora.com/pink-marshmallow-buttercream-trio-P389065
Indulge in a marshmallow
buttercream scent with this trio including; shampoo shower gel & bubble
bath, body lotion, and high gloss high-flavor lip shine. The moisturizing
formula leaves skin and hair feeling soft, while the sweet creamy scent wraps
you in this holiday delight.
2.
Sigma Spa Brush Cleaning Glove
$35 + shipping www.sigmabeauty.com/Brush_Care_s/177.htm
The Sigma Spa Brush Glove was
specifically designed as a quick, easy, and effective way to deep clean your
makeup brush collection! This revolutionary device offers a variety of
necessary textured surfaces for removing all the makeup from the bristles while
only using a small amount of cleaning solution.
3.
Makeup Eraser
$19.97 + shipping www.makeupearaser.com
This cloth seems like a
no-brainer as we all have to remove makeup from our faces. The Makeup Eraser is
100% machine washable and REUSABLE! Why buy makeup removing wipes that have
chemicals? The Makeup Eraser uses no chemicals to remove products that include
waterproof, smear-proof, and mascara.

Like last year, December’s posts will all be my
most coveted makeup and beauty wants. These are products I have not yet tried

smudge-free brows. Use with brush #12 for a completely effortless application.
2.

purple shadow or combine it with a black base to reveal a completely different
shade!
3.
NYX
Doll Eye Mascara
$9.50 www.nyxcosmetics.com
Hello doll-face! For irresistibly fluttery eyelashes try this mascara on
for size. Doll Eye mascara uses a unique blend of natural oils, vitamin E, and
nylon fibers to extend eyelashes to almost faux proportions. Choose from
lengthening, volumizing, or waterproof versions.
