Fav 5's of the Moment

Here are a few things that have stolen my heart over the last few weeks.

5. Victoria Secrets Beauty Rush - Body Double Mist

I bought this on a whim at the Miami International Airport last summer when I realized I forgot to pack perfume for my trip to Costa Rica. It served its purpose for the 8 days we were there and then was quickly chucked aside for other lovely perfumes as soon as I got home. I recently re-discovered it after I got bored with my unscented moisturizer. In an effort to jazz it up, I apply the moisturizer then spritz on the mist, making my own body lotion. Kinda. I like the added moisture the mist gives because it's packed with body nourishing oils. I also love the light scent it leaves behind. I'm partial to Appletini, but am excited to try Strawberry Fizz next. At $12 a pop, these bad boys last for months and are a great way to spice up a boring lotion. 

4. Laura Mercier Topaz Eyeshadow


Anyone that knows me knows I'm not an eyeshadow girl. I prefer a bare lid, tight-lined liner, and lots of mascara. Some say boring, I say classic. But this baby holds a near and dear place in my heart because it is just the perfect, perfect color. It compliments my green eyes beautifully and is virtually fool proof. I wear it as an all over wash, creating a super polished and easy look. If I had to own one eyeshadow for the rest of my life, this would be it. 

3. Mac Point of View Lipstain (LE)
Hands down my favorite lip stain. This is the perfect My Lips But Better color. A rosy nude with a hint of brown. I wear it with Bobbi Brown Nude lip gloss on top, which is the best lip combo for winter. I love everything about this...the lasting power... the yummy vanilla scent. Bummer this is Limited Edition and came out last year with the Art Supplies collection. So perfect that this was the only thing I ever bought a back up of from Mac.


2. Loreal Lash Serum

I can't say enough good things about this lash conditioner. I don't agree that it will grow your lashes, as it promises to do, but I do attest to the fact that it makes your lashes the best that they can be. I've been using this for six months and have noticed less lash fall out and more shine and thickness. What I love most about this is that it will revive any dry mascara you have. I can not bear to part with my Max Factor Stretch and Separate Mascara because it is awesome, and also because Max Factor is no longer sold in the US. Even though the mascara is dry as a bone and way past its prime, whenever I wear this serum as a primer, it just brings it back to life.

1. Strawberry and Grape Nerds Candy



Enough Said.
