Sock Bun
NAKED by UD
I don't like the feeling of having makeup caked on, I always feel like I'm going to melt, so this foundation is perfect. It looks natural and gives your skin a natural beautiful glow while covering all the imperfections you may have. The price is not bad either, $38 for a 1oz bottle, totally worth it, you need about 1 pump to cover your face.
Buy at:
UrbanDecay.com
Sephora.com
or a sephora store.

Mariah Carey & OPI
The OPI Mariah Carey Collection for Spring 2013(limited edition) will be available in January, both collections are inspired & hand-picked by the one and only Mariah Carey, they are sparkly, feminine & bold. ( I mean what else would you expect from Mariah Carey) my favorite ones that I cant wait to get my hands on are the shades which are formulated with a new OPI Liquid Sand technology, they give you a unique, matte texture with reflective sparkle that really looks and feels like fine sand!
Here is the collection:
- A Butterfly Moment: A shimmery, nude pink; I really love this shade and I think it’s quite unique! I think I’ll be wearing this cute, feminine shade a lot this spring.
- Sprung: A warm, shimmery copper. This one was the least pigmented out of them all, but the final result is quite nice!
- Anti-Bleak: A deep, creamy purple; the only cream polish in the collection! Pretty- but not too unique.
- Pink Yet Lavender: A clear base with pink glitter and lavender shimmer; very pale, and looks stunning on top of a deeper color.
- Stay The Night: A matte black Liquid Sand base with red glitter; deep and vampy!
- Get Your Number: A matte blue Liquid Sand base with multi-color sparkle; I don’t know what it is about this one but I love it! It reminds me of icicles!
- Can’t Let Go: A matte purple Liquid Sand base with multi-color sparkle; another really beautiful shade. I found the texture to be a little more flat than the others.
- The Impossible: A matte fuchsia Liquid Sand base with multi-dimensional sparkle and star confetti; I have to admit, I thought this one was going to look awful- but I quite like it! It’s fun and playful with the star confetti.

Traveling tip: traveling with makeup
Holidays for most of us means traveling, whether its by plane or car. My least favorite thing about traveling…PACKING!
Its such a hassle, I tend to over pack every time, and my old saving space trick was putting my makeup in zip lock bags. It saved space BUT also created a mess, my liquid foundation or primer would magically open and make a mess everywhere! And that’s the last thing anyone wants when they are traveling, to clean up a mess that could have been avoided. Well I came across this really helpful tip that will still save space and protect your makeup from spilling everywhere, use a Chinese take out container! Who would’ve thought, well these little containers lock tight, and prevent those awful spills, and also making it easy to store once you’ve arrived to your destination. I will be using about 3-4 containers.
XOXO

Coconut oil face scrub..
I have recently started breaking out, and my face wash wasn’t exactly helping, so I decide to Try something different, I have been using coconut oil & baking soda 3 times a week, and it’s working!, I was a bit skeptical since my skin can get really oily, but after doing a little research and trying it out, it doesn’t make my skin disgusting oily, see oil actually dissolves oil, and your skin needs natural oils.
Its good to detox your skin, from all the pollutants in the air, facial washes, moisturizers, ect. And by using natural ingredients you are allowing your skin to be clean, and to breathe, and to be able to do its job. Baking soda is a soft natural abrasive that gently exfoliate your skin while absorbing excess oil and contaminants that are hidden in your skin, while coconut oil is a very light, anti-microbial oil loaded with vitamin E and omega 3's which your skin will absorb well and will allow your pores to breathe. Making it a perfect combination for your skin.
What you need:
¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
½ tablespoon Coconut oil
Warm Water
cloth
Directions:
Put a warm towel over your face to open up your pores, Mix the teaspoon and coconut oil, as you rub the oil in your hands it will become liquid and rub gently all over your face
(If you scrub hard, your skin will over-produce more oils almost immediately.) let it sit for a few minutes then rinse with warm water.
Your skin will feel sooo soft
