December Favorites!
First I will start with beauty products:
Beauty!
The Urban Decay Primer Potion for eyes.  This stuff has been raved before by many people because it is so great.  All you need is a little and it lets your eye shadow stay on all day!  I recommend using this before any type of eyeshadow look becuase it wil literally stay all day, and the packaging is soo cute!

Two-Faced Chochlate Soleil Bronzer.  This bronzer is so nice!  It doesn't make you ornage, it gives you a nice sunkissed bronzey glow.  You only need a little on your brush becuase it goes along way.
The Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabucki Brush.  This brush is great for putting foundations on.  The top britsles are soo soft, it feels like silk gliding across your face and the covereage it gives is great!

OPI Do you Lilac it? I defintly love it! :) The color is so rich and is just a beautful shade of purple, one of my favorite nail colors ever!
FASHION
I bought these earings from Lulus.com, i bought the silver ones and they are just the most adorable earings.  They are so edgy but sweet at the same time.  I wear them all the time because they go great with everything!
I got these bracelets from Delias and they are so freakin cute! The colors are great and they go with everything!  I can wear them casual or if i feel like dressin it up.
I'm a huge fan of off the shoulder tops and this one if super comfy and so cute!  I love to wear it with skinny jeans and my ankle booties.  I got it from delias!
The last thing is this amazing spinng make-up organiztion system.  I bought it at QVC.com.  It's so convienient.  It takes the mess out of just having your make-up laying around everywhere, theres a spot for everything!

NAKED

No it's not what you're thinking! Get your mind out of the gutter fools! The type of naked I am going to be talking about is the Urban Decay Naked Palette.
This palette is amazing! Kind of on the pricey side but so worth it.  It comes with 12 incredibly pigmented shades that are absolutely beautiful! You can wear the shades alone or make tons of smokey eye looks with the different colors.  The names are so charming too! Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, and Gunmetal.  How Cute!  My favorite ones to use are Naked, and Sidecar.  When I do a brown smokey eye I like to use Sidecar and then smoke it out with Toasted.  You can use this palette to make a combination of looks, its amazing! Go get NAKED! ;)

Urban Decay Naked Palette-Ulta or Spehora- $45

Favorite Beauty Products

Here is a list of my favorite beauty prodcuts that I use almost on an everyday basis.


First thing is the Softsoap Nutriserum Body Wash. This stuff is amazing and it smells incredible!  It really does it what it says in making your skin really soft.


The next producta are the L'oreal EverPure Sulfate Free system.  Becuase it has no harsh sulfates and parebens in it it really really makes your hair feel freakin amazing! The only bad thing about these shampoos and conditioners is that they smell really minty, no tlike peppermint like the actual mint plant.  Not a fan of the smell but a huge fan of the way they work.


Next product is the Dove heat protectant spray.  I use this spray everytime I blow dry my hair! It really protects against the heat of the blow dryer and it smells really good.  It's super inexpensive to, i beleive its only about 4 or 5 dollars and it lasts a long time.  I've had it about 5 months now and I stilll have quite a bit.

Next item is the CHI Thermal Spray.  It has ceramic in it which really protects against the flat iron heat.  The spray also I feel makes my hair feel thicker.  Maybe it's just me but I feel it makes it seem thicker lol.

This is one of the Hot Tools curling irons.  I have a few and they are by far the best curling irons out there. They don't get rusty like some cheap ones  I've had in the past, the part they you hold with your fingers will never come off, ive had that happen before and i wasn't able to use the curling anymore becuase i couldn't find anything to protect my fingers.  I highly recommend purchasing these curling irons for people who like to do their hair a lot.  AMAZING!
This Benefit concealer is really nice.  It's super creamy and blends really easily and it's full coverage.  It really hides my dark undereye circles really nicely.  It's kind of on the pricey side, it's 18 dollars but it's worth it   and it lasts a long time.  I've had it about 2 or 3 months and I haven't it the bottom yet.  It will probably last me at least another year for such a small container it holds a lot.
This primer is really nice.  It feels really creamy going on and it does make your makeup stay put all day.  It's the only primer I've used so i can't really compare it to any other ones, anyone have a suggestion for another primer?

This color wheel is really amazing.  It gives a really nice color where you don't look orange or not natural.  All the colors mixed in are really great and its sueperinexpensive.

I hope this blog was helpful!

Hope everyone had a christmas as fabulous as mine was! I got some really great stuff but my favorite things I got would have to be the Guess watch and my Aldo bag!<333 Love them!

I'm sad christmas is over, now there isn't anything to be excited about except for New Years, and then after that..NOTHING! How many months til Summer? :)
