My first coil-out!

I wore a finger coil for a week and decided to untwist it for a few days. I loved it and plan to make it my signature style.

Let me know a few styles you like.

PS...this picture was taken on my HTC Inspire and isn't the best.



Love and hugs,

July Favorites

I don't normally post favorites, but I found a few items that I fell in LOVE with this this month. Make sure to drop me a note if you've tried any of these items.

Maybelline Line Stiletto eyeliner - I've fallen in love with this liquid liner especially for winged looks.
essence smokey lash mascara - my lashes have never looked so good...I get great length and volume with a couple coated. The price point is also great at a womping $3.99!

Equate facial moisturizer - I bought this a while ago and didn't use it until my cetaphil moisturizer had a meltdown. This works really well and has my face feeling.extremely soft.

St. Ives Green Tea facial scrub - I bought a sample size of this.and fell in love with it. It keeps my face exfoliated daily and helps with my random pimples.

Revlon Lilac Lipgloss - this product is love in a lipgloss bottle...it gives perfect color and goes with everything. I think I need to run out and get backups!

Clinique makeup remover - this is the best removed I've used thus far. It removes EVERYTHING and then some. I was so happy to find this at the CCO and save a few $$$!

Let me know if you've tried any of these products and how they work for you .

Happy reading,
Jae

Link Love::8 Clever Makeup Tips You Haven't Heard Before

Last night I was browsing Bella Sugar and came across an interest article that I had to share. This morning I decided to use the tip of adding aloe to my foundation and it came out beautiful. I have a dewy glow that has not needed touching up all day! This time around I decided to use a pea size of my Clinique Perfectly Real liquid foundation (which is a little on the heavy side to me...although its one of my favorites!) mixed with a pea size of aloe and it turned into a nice light coverage foundation. I was able to use far less product than I normally do and my skin looks great. I can't wait to try out additional tips on  the list.
