Summer Fun

See as I now have a 4 month old, going to the beach this year was out of the question. I told my husband that we would have to have our own beach in our back yard, because I definitely started having withdraws. Especially, after I purchased this black floppy hat a couple weeks ago. My mom was on the hunt for a floppy hat for her Hawaii trip, and I think we found the perfect one. And of course, I had to get a matching one for myself. 
 
So, this will be me all summer long; just lounging in my blow up pool with a drink in hand and the sun and sand in my mind.
 
Outfit Details:
Floppy Hat (J.Crew Factory $14)
Swim Suit (Old Navy $20)
Total: $34

Jaclyn Hill & Becca; Champagne Collection Face Palette

Did anyone else jump online the moment this collection was released? No, just me then?
I have been looking forward to the release of this collection from the moment Jaclyn hinted about it months ago. I've been a fan of Jaclyn's YouTube channel since she had only 4,000 subscribers, so basically since the beginning of time. LOL
I can't begin to say enough good things about her and how much I've learned since watching her channel. I honestly feel like I know her personally and I'm so happy and proud of the milestones she's hit through YouTube. 
Ok, now that my fan girl moment is over, lets move on. Shall we?!
 
 
This beautiful palette comes with 3 new blushes in Amaretto (matte toasted almond), Pamplemousse (matte warm coral pink), a luminous Blush in Rosé Spritz (soft peachy pink with pale gold shimmer) and 2 highlighters; Champagne Pop (soft white gold with pinky peach undertones) and finally the new Prosecco Pop (medium warm gold).
I think this palette is so gorgeous, everything from the packaging to the product inside is perfect and worth the $52 price point.
 I found these swatches on Sephora's website. I love that they showcased the entire palette on 3 different skin tones verifying that this truly is a great palette for anyone to add to their collection.
As expected, this palette along with the new eye shadow palette sold out pretty quickly. But don't worry, you can still catch this collection in all Sephora stores on June 16th.
If you're as big of a makeup geek as me then you should enjoy this article where Jaclyn, herself answers some questions about the collection.
 
May your highlight be forever on fleek!

Mask of Magnaminty

Can you believe that its already the last day of May! This year is going by way too fast if you ask me.
Since the month of May is just about over, I wanted to share a product that I have been loving and using non stop for the last 2 months.
 

I've never really had problems with acne or break outs, but since giving birth to my first child in February, I have been struggling with dry, rough skin with a few breakouts. Its like my skin completely changed over night and my clear, texture free skin has traded for, at times, what feels like alligator skin! YIKES!! Before and during my pregnancy, I continued with my normal skin care routine; using masks, cleansers, toners and creams. Since then, I've had to switch things up and change out all my favorites and basically started from scratch to find something that would tame all the issues I suddenly started to have.
One product I am beyond thankful I can across was the Lush, Mask of Magnaminty. And yes, I know I am very late to the game with this one, but now this will definitely be a staple under my sink from now on.
The mask is not only for the face, but the back & body! This minty scented mask has China clay and fresh peppermint that reaches deep into the skin and sucks out any gunk in the pores, leaving the skin so refreshing with a tingly, clean sensation! My favorite part is washing the mask off, it then acts like a exfoliator due to the aduki beans to help even out texture, getting rid of any dead, dry, flaky skin. The website states "this is the ‘ultimate face mask’, intense but not harsh or abrasive on the skin", and that's exactly what it is!
I will probably explore more Lush products in the future. I love that everything is hand made, fresh with organic fruits and veggies and no products are ever tested on animals!
 
I definitely recommend this mask to anyone having some serious skin issues. It has really calmed my skin down and has now made its way into my heart forever! LOL
 
Kisses,
The Little Lady
