The Lowdown on Ellis Faas Mascara [In Our Makep Bag]
Ellis Faas is a beauty brand from Europe that stands apart with their packaging. “All products will come in similar shaped pens that hold the liquid colours. Right from when Ellis started developing her first ideas about the brand, she wanted the pens to be inspired by bullets.” Bullets, eh? You’ve caught my attention!
CC Beauty Live: Custom Nail Solutions
When I was in high school, acrylic nails were the big thing. Everyone had them, and then when I got to college I realized that my mom was no longer going to take me to get my nails done every few weeks.

In Our Makeup Bag: Clarins Instant Light Blush
As part of Clarins Spring launch, they’ve introduced a new liquid blush formula to their Instant Light line. Now, we all know I’m a huge fan of the Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors, so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this blush!
CC Beauty Live: Quick & Dirty-Free Your Mane
I’ve introduced you all to a lot of products throughout CC Beauty Live, hair products in particular. We’ve done a few hair oils and what not, but I have to tell you that Free Your Mane really impressed me. I absolutely adore products that aim to be chemical free, and this company has made that its mission and keep things affordable at the same time.
In Our Makeup Bag: Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick
Bite Beauty is a super unique brand that I’m happy to see getting recognition in the blogosphere! Each of their Luminous Creme Lipsticks “delivers super antioxidant resveratrol, which fights free radicals with potent long-term anti-aging benefits. Each lipstick contains the amount of resveratrol found in five glasses of red wine.” That’s definitely a neat concept.
Beauty on a Budget: Pantene Pro-V Moisturizing Hydrater
As I’ve mentioned in other posts, my hair tends to be more on the dry side and totally frizzy if left untreated. So, needless to say, I was on the hunt for a hydrating hair mask to bring more moisture and life into my hair. I’ve been using Pantene Pro-V Moisturizing Hydrater for just that purpose for about two years now, and I absolutely love it. Best of all, it only costs about $4 a bottle.

In Our Makeup Bag: theBalm Nude ‘tude Palette
Most makeup junkies I know love neutral eyeshadows. Sure, brights are fun, but neutrals are definitely more “everyday” and appropriate in every situation. Every makeup lover needs a palette full of neutral shades that’s great for a quick daytime look and traveling. theBalm is obviously one of my favorite brands and I’m thrilled that they have finally decided to bring us a neutral palette!
Beauty on a Budget: L’Oreal Magic Souffle Foundation
As they say, variety is the spice of life, so I like to keep several different beauty products on hand and switch it up occasionally. I have been a powder foundation fan for quite some time but I recently found a new foundation to add to my rotation: L’Oreal’s Magic Souffle Foundation.

In Our Makeup Bag: Burberry Lip Cover Lipstick
Recently, I’ve been moving into the land of luxury beauty products and Burberry has been my go-to brand. Known for high-end clothing and accessories, they spared no expense when it came to creating a beauty collection as iconic as the Burberry check.
Beauty on a Budget: John Frieda Frizz-Ease Curl Reviver Styling Mousse
While I love getting dolled up, I’m a total sucker for beauty shortcuts – a cute up-do to cut down on primp time, a tinted moisturizer to get bronzed and moisturized in one step, a quick highlight shadow under your eyebrows to give them better shape when you’re due for a wax. So on days when I just don’t have the time or energy to do my hair, I let it be curly.
CC Beauty Live: Quick & Dirty Ponytail
Are y’all hooked on Netflix? Because I sure am. And I’ve been watching Gossip Girl for the past three weeks. I finally finished season 4 and am dying to start on season 5 when I can. Anyway, I’ve been total inspired by all of the fabulous hair on the show.
