Rediscovered Favorite #1: Too Faced Palette

In the beauty world we are always looking for the latest and greatest products to try. Often great products are forgotten about until one day when we see them in the back of our drawer. Then we remember how much we loved that product and fall in love with it all over again. That rediscovered loved product is what this new series is all about.

My first rediscovered favorite is the Natural Eye palette by Too Faced. I bought this palette a couple of years ago and used the heck out of it. 

I even did a tutorial using it. (Check it out here.)

There are 4 out of the 9 colors that I am absolutely obsessed with: Heaven, Silk teddy, Push-up, and Honey Pot. They are all very soft and shimmery. All the eye shadows are super pigmented.

My favorite one is Push-up as you can see by the indentation. It is perfect as an all over color and as a crease color.

I don’t use Velvet Revolver, Expresso, Erotica, and Cocoa Puff  because they are just too dark for me.

I don’t use Nude Beach very often because the glitter is super chunky and it can irritate my eyes.

Mascara Showdown!

 I have been trying a lot of new mascaras over the last several months and I thought that I would give you little reviews of each one in one place (I know this has been a long time coming).

Loreal Butterfly

This mascara was okay. I could not do more than one coat without it starting to clump. It did make my lashes look very dramatic though. 

It’s not something I would recommend for an everyday look because it did not last very long. I found it was perfect for a night on the town.

Covergirl LashBlast Fusion

This has been my everyday go to mascara. I have loved almost every version of the Lashblast line but I think this one is my favorite. One coat gives my lashes a very natural look. Two coats makes them stand out a little.

If you are looking for a dramatic difference I would not recommend this mascara. This is more for giving your lashes a little boost.

Rimmel Retro 

I love Rimmel but I really do not like their mascaras. I have tried at least three different ones now and have had very similar experiences with all three. They clump like crazy! They do lengthen and fill out your lashes but in a spidery way. This mascara also flakes really bad for me. After only about an hour I will have little black flakes on my cheek. 

I don’t like to waste products and just throw them away so I figured out a way to make this mascara work for me. I would do one coat of the Rimmel mascara and one coat of the CoverGirl mascara. It seemed to get rid of most of the spideryness at least.

Benefit BadGal Lash

This is my new favorite mascara! To see why check out this video. 

Have you tried any of these mascaras? What did you think of them? What is your favorite mascara?

Holiday Memories: Christmas Day

Yesterday I told you about my favorite Christmas Eve memory and today since it's Christmas I thought I would share my favorite Christmas memory. =)

I think every kid has written a letter to Santa Claus but how many have had Santa write them a letter back? Well, in my house Santa always did and I loved it! I recently found some of the letters and posted one on Twitter and Instagram and I will post it below. 

What is your favorite Christmas Memory?

P.S. Santa also wrote letters to my parents too! ;-)
