But, we shall see what 2019 has in store!! So as you read, this is all about yearly favorites! There's been so many releases and so many bomb products I've tried out over this year. But since I have a ton of products, I will break this up into parts, so this one is strictly about the face products I've loved this year! So if you're interested, then just keep on  reading! MAC Prep & Prime Fix + : this was such a classic back in the day, but it took MAC now being carried at Ulta for me to finally pull the trigger and pick it up. But I absolutely loved this! It made my skin feel nourished and hydrated and my makeup seemed to last a long time! Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Foundation---"450" : this was in everyone's favorites LAST year lo...

Hola, beautiful ones!! Welcome back & if you're new here,welcome! Once again, we've reached the end on yet another month, which means monthly favorites time! 31 days......31 whole days left ,then goodbye 2018. It high key doesn't feel real that this year flew by so fast!! Nonetheless, I have some really good stuff that I've been loving, so if you guys wanna know about my favorites for November, then just keep on  reading! SKINCARE Skinfood Lettuce & Cucumber Watery Emulsion : though I have combo skin, every fall/winter season, my skin gets a lot drier and flakier (gross, I know). So I shift my skincare to mainly focus on hydrating my skin. I stumbled upon this at Marshalls  a few months ago, and have been in love ever since!! I apply after my serums, but before my moisturizer or sleeping mask, and my texture has decreased so much since using this!  B&BW A Thousand Wishes Body Lotion : literally the holidays in a lotion form!! I just picture happy fam...

Hola, beautiful ones!! Welcome back & if you're new here,welcome! Once again, we've reached the end on yet another month, which means monthly favorites time! Folks, we have 61 days left in 2018. I'm so shocked that this year flew by so fast!! But I've been making it my mission to really try out some things this past month, and  I have quite a bit that I've been loving, so if you guys wanna know about my favorites for October, then just keep on  reading! HAIR As I Am Cleansing Pudding : this is a perfect hybrid of a shampoo and co wash! It cleans my hair and scalp of all the product build up and dirt like a shampoo would, but leaves my hair feeling hydrated and soft like a co wash!! It's also pretty thick, so I actually have to store it upside down so it comes out the bottle easier. So, I do wish the bottle came with a pump for easier dispensing of the product, otherwise it's amazing! The Mane Choice Crystal Orchid Biotin Infused Styling Gel : I...

Hola, beautiful ones!! Welcome back & if you're new here,welcome! Once again, we've reached the end on yet another month, which means monthly favorites time! We are 75% done with this year...75 freaking percent. It blows me away the more I think about it! like October and fall are official. Nonetheless, I have some really good stuff that I've been loving, so if you guys wanna know about my favorites for September, then just keep on  reading! Makeup (items that are in bold are no longer available) No7 Beautifully Matte Makeup Base: I love how matte this keeps me throughout super hot or super long days! I've worn makeup for up to 10+ hours, and whenever I use this, everything looks pretty fresh still! This was a great affordable option to the Evermatte primer from Becca if you didn't want to fork out the bucks for that or couldn't find the travel size of that one. No7, bring this back because it's amazing!!!! Benefit Porefessional Primer : everyti...

Hola, beautiful ones!! Welcome back & if you're new here, welcome! So, this post will be all about the products that I regret purchasing. Now, I'm in NO way, shape or form bashing the brands---these things just either didn't wow me in the way I expected or flat out just did not work. So if you're interested in all the products I regret buying, then keep on reading!! Jordana QuickBrow Micro Pencil (retails $2.99) I was so upset at how little product this pencil offers! I used it up in about 4-5 uses ---though the formula was nice. Most of my brow pencils last me wayyyyyy longer, and this just dropped the ball for me big time. Eden BodyWorks Natural Leave In Conditioner (retails $8.59) I'm a sucker for a bomb leave in conditioner, but this was just god awful. My hair just felt stiff and detangling was just a task and a half. HARD PASS FOR ME. Hard Candy Bake, Brighten & Set Loose Finishing Powder in Banana (retails $6.00) I've...

Hola, beautiful ones!! Welcome back & if you're new here,welcome! Once again, we've reached the end on yet another month, which means monthly favorites! Guys, we're officially 2/3 through 2018!! Crazy that just in 4 short months, it will be 2019!! Slow down, time!! Nonetheless, I have some really good stuff that I've been loving, so if you guys wanna know about my favorites for August, then just keep on  reading! Makeup Colourpop Element of Surprise palette : this is probably one of the most unique palettes I own! When I first saw it, I had no interest in picking it up, but when I saw it in Ulta & swatched the shade Rayon, (metallic dark coral with blue-green duochrome) I fell in love!! I never thought I'd love this palette, but I'm pleasantly surprised! Colourpop x KathleenLights Dream St. Palette :  another great option for a few pops of color + neutral shades! Unlike the Element of Surprise, this one is more a warm toned color scheme .  Also, I...

Hey, beauties & welcome back! If you're new to the blog, I welcome you! So, today as you see the title, we're talking about all the products Juicyjas made me buy! Inspired by the "Youtube made me buy it" tag, I was debating on which Youtuber I would model this after aside from popular choices like Jaclyn Hill or KathleenLights and thought she was perfect! I love her videos and the fact that we share the same name, the same birthday and live in the same region of states makes me and even bigger fan of her! So , if y'all want to find out what items I own because of her & what I think of them, just keep reading!   NYX Slide on Glide on lip liners:  She talks about the colors Sugar Glass and Nude Suede Shoes in many of her videos, and I knew I had to try these. Let me say, I love these!! They remind me a lot of the Colourpop lippie pencils (easy to glide on the lips and long lasting). My personal favorite one is definitely Urban Cafe, a perfect chocolate...

Only small gripes I have with this palette: 1) I wish there was a mirror, and 2) I wish the packaging wasn't white. Wet n ...

MAKEUP Wet N Wild P72 brush : I absolutely love this for blush and bronzer!! It's dense enough to apply the color, but fluffy enough to blend it out without leaving it streaky! Wet N Wild P65 brush :  if you love the Contour brush from Real Techniques , but was upset that you couldn't buy that individually, this is the next best thing! It blends out my contour & my concealer, as well as apply my setting powders perfectly! Morphe M441 : another bomb , affordable blending brush!! some days, I will do a one or two matte eyeshadow look with just...
