BATTLE OF: Mascara (video)

To say that I’m a mascara hoarder would be an understatement.  I’m too afraid to actually go into my beauty closet and COUNT all of the mascara that I’ve hoarded over the years because, yeah, it might be a little bit scary.  In this BATTLE OF video, I compare two similar mascaras from Benefit and Tarte to see which one works best for me.  Check it out.

Benefit They’re Real Mascara

Tarte Cosmetics Lights, Camera, Flashes Mascara

Travel Essentials!

I’m heading to New York this morning (yay!) for my cousin’s wedding…annnnd, I’m super excited.  I haven’t been back since Christmas and good god, I really miss my nephew (and sure, the rest of my family too).  Since I’ve been slowly packing, and I do mean SLOWLY, I figured that I’d make a quick video on my beauty product “to-go bag” for travel.  I keep this baby packed and ready to leave at a moment’s notice.  Let me know what you think!

VIDEO: Under 5 Minute Makeup Routine

Here’s a weird fact: I really only started wearing makeup toward the end of college.  Ok, with the exception that I did, occasionally  wear the super classy white eyeliner on my eyelids during high school.  Oh yeah, I did that.  So sure…now that I actually DO have to wear makeup, my routine is usually under five minutes…mostly because I’m lazy and always running late.  In this video, I show you my not-so-secret under five minute routine (FOUR minutes, to be exact!) that will give you the bare minimum as far as coverage, and not looking like a beast.

In the video:

COVERGIRL and Olay Simply Ageless Serum

Clinique Even Better Foundation SPF 15

Urban Decay Naked Palette

Urban Decay 24-7 Glide-On Eyeliner Pencil

COVERGIRL Lash Blast Clump Crusher Mascara

Physician’s Formula Happy Boost Bronzer

May favorites

It’s time for May Favorites!  Truthfully, I still have a LOT to learn about making YouTube videos, but I genuinely do enjoy making my monthly favorites videos.  Ha, my manager would be so proud!  It’s not that I’m uncomfortable in front of the camera (quite the opposite, actually), but I have absolutely no eye for editing and/or filming.  So there’s that.  I’d much rather be in my pajamas, hair in pony tail, zit cream on face, writing a blog post.  Truth.  With that said, I digress, and present to you…my favorite things for May!

1. Bath & Body Works Rome Honey Suckle Amore 2-in-1 Superfruit Body Scrub and Wash: I’m a sucker for anything Italy…and clearly, a scrub and body wash in one is kind of awesome.

2. Kiehl’s Skin Tone Correcting and Beautifying BB Cream SPF 50: I’m obsessed with all things Kiehl’s so I was pretty excited that they came out with a BB Cream…with SPF 50, obviously.

3. Man Up by Ross Mathews: You need to read this.  Enough said.

4. Black Box wine: I’m late to the box wine party but guys, this stuff is GOOD.  A perfect summer staple.

5. Blow out by Mika Fowler: I love a good blow out and I’m so excited for the amazing stylist, Mika Fowler, who recently went to the Kim Vo salon.
