This year when my hubby asked what I wanted I immediately said, "MAC!" hahaha...so there are a few things that I already know that I want for sure but then there are a few that I haven't decided on. My question for all of you is this....

What are some MAC or even non MAC beauty or cosmetics or beauty things that I should ask for? Perferably MAC though!

I am Thankful that my dad was able to visit and spend Thanksgiving with me at my house this year. There were a lot more people at the house then I actually thought would be, and we had lots of food and sugary goodies haha! I made pumpkin spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, and I made pumpkin pie! Below is the tutorial I did for the pie.

MAC and Sephora Haul

Last Wednesday I was super excited because I had the opportunity to actually go to MAC and Sephora instead of only shopping online! I don't live close to either store so of course I had to stop by when I was literally right beside them haha! I was in town to go to David's Bridal and get sized for my bridesmaids dress for a friend's wedding. Anyways.... I was really excited and so I wanted to share with you guys what I picked up on my mini trip there lol.

Night Face Routine For Dry Skin

Hey guys...so I just uploaded my newest video and thought it would be really helpful! A lot of people have their face routines that they share and I wanted to do the same. I get really dry skin, and after searching forever and trying all different brands and products I finally found something that really works and I want to share it with all of you! So here is my nightime face washing routine!!

Enjoy!

Bad Baby Washes!!

Recently there were ingredients found in probably America's most trusted baby care line, "Johnson & Johnson"! I couldn't believe it when I heard it myself! Don't fear though...it's not in all of their products, I have only found it in their regular baby shampoo and baby wash! I have heard that it is in others also but I have a few different ones and neither of the ingredients are in any of the others that I own, just the regular wash and shampoo!! The ingredients are not only harmful to us but especially our little ones.

Call me crazy but now I am frantically searching the ingredients on all the products I am buying for my baby. Not only that but not too long before I heard about all of this craziness with Johnson & Johnson the Dr. told us that the lil rash Elizabeth had was baby eczema, and get this....apparently the ingredients found are said to cause eczema as well! Soooo crazy!
Thankfully it's not in all the products though. I currently have switched my baby shampoo to the Natural Care line that they have!

I don't like the way their lotion smells but surprisingly I really like how the shampoo smells! Since my lil angel has eczema we use a different wash other than the Natural Care. I use Cetaphil brand for her wash. I don't know yet how well she is going to do with the Cetaphil considering I used it on her for the first time tonight, but it's what her pediatrician recommended for her so let's pray it does good for her!! I have looked at a few other brands as well and haven't spotted the ingredients in any of them either thankfully. So next time you are out shopping check those ingredients for quaternium-15 which releases  formaldehyde (eeeew gross)! The second ingredients to look out for is 1,4-dioxane, which is considered a carcinogen!

Lip Trends for Fall

This fall the number one makeup trend seems to be a bold lip! I love this, and I have always kinda been the one to not really care if it's "in season" or not haha... I just feel like if you love it then wear it! There are a few steps to follow in order to pick out your perfect shade and then to pull it off.

STEP 1: Figure out your undertone! If you don't know for sure whether you have cool or warm undertones a cool trick is to put your hair up in a white towel and wrap a white towel around you, if your skin looks bluish then you have cool undertones and if it looks yellowish then you have warm undertones!!

STEP 2: Prep your lips by exfoliating once a week. Also, apply a lipbalm a few minutes before applying any other products to your lips, this will help prevent flaky lips!

HOT SHADE NO. 1: Merlot or Burgandy shades are perfect for fall! For fair skin if the dark contrast is too much for your skin tone then go for a gloss!!
If your skin is more medium and you have cool tones go for a blue red shade. If your skin is more warm go for an orange based color!!
If your skin is darker go for a deeper shade with a glossy finish! Darker skin tones can pull off darker lips!!
HOT SHADE NO. 2:  BERRY!! For fair skin choose something a little brighter but pinky. Medium skin pick shades with a true berry hue. Lastly, for darker skin tones pick a deep berry color!
HOT SHADE NO. 3: Next up is Fuchsia!! For those fair and medium skinned go for a bright true fuchsia shade... For darker tones go for maybe a magenta shade.
HOT SHADE NO. 4: NEXT WE HAVE METALLICS, BE SURE TO CHOOSE THESE VERY CAREFULLY FOR YOUR SKIN TONES THOUGH!
HOT SHADE NO. 5: I feel like this next one is a no brainer haha... BRICK RED!! If you have fair skin choose a color with a matte finish! For medium tones find a shade with an orangey rust to it... and for darker tones go for a true brown red!!

NOW TO GET A PERFECT APPLICATION WITH GREAT STAYING POWER DON'T FORGET TO USE A LIPLINER!!

bold red lips and fun fuchsias,

Super Fast Curls

I just uploaded a new tutorial for some really fast curls! It doesn't take hardly any time, and it's really natural looking! I got into a big hurry one morning because I was running late and this was a lot quicker than flat ironing my hair haha...

Best Drugstore Mascara

I recently became a new fan to a drugstore mascara! I have used all different types over the years, everything from Maybelline to Chanel... and for so so long I used the L'oreal double extend tubes and was such a huge huge fan. Once again L'oreal has done it, they make so many great products and I am always raving about them. I decided to try their Voluminous Million Lashes mascara and it is AMAZING!!! I am loving it! I think until I find something that makes my lashes look this good I will definitely be sticking to it as far as drugstore mascaras go haha...

This is the double extend tubes, I do still like it but it doesn't do half of the amazingness as the Voluminous haha!

This is my new favorite AWESOME drugstore find hehe!! I really recommend this to anyone wanting to try a new drugstore mascara! I didn't think I would like it but I really do!

mascaras galore and long lashes,

Amanda Bynes Inspired Makeup

First off please pray for my mom, she is having surgery right now! I just pray that it all goes smoothly and recovers really well!! This is definitely on my mind a lot since she has a heart problem and has a pacemaker and defibilator....so please keep her in your prayers today!

So I was searching online for celebrity makeup looks and decided to try this one out!

I have always loved Amanda Bynes, and she is just too funny!

For this look the first thing I did was primed my eyelids with soft ochre paint pot from MAC, then I used Polyester Bride from the Ammo palette from Urban Decay, as well as virgin, smog, and sin from the Urban Decay NAKED palette... I used MAC's carbon shadow for the lashline and charcoal brown from MAC for my eyebrows, and L'oreal voluminous mascara!

On my cheeks I used peachykeen from MAC..

And for my lips I used a lipliner from MAC called pink treat, then I used captive lipstick from MAC and went over them with electro lush lipglass! After I filmed it I toned my lips down just a bit just for everyday wear by using a little bit of Fabby lipstick from MAC!

Hope you guys all enjoy this video!

How to: Ghoulish Goodies part 2!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!! I told you all that I would do a video making all the lil goodies for the Halloween party, but unfortunately I didn't get the chance to... I ended up running around like crazy trying to hurry and things were getting done at the last minute! However, I did film a little bit... so here it is!
