Beauty Tag – 7 Deadly Sins

May 26, 2015

makeup-beauty-lipstick-make-up

I saw this tag recently on Charmed Christy’s blog, and thought it sounded really fun!

1. GREED: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?
Most inexpensive would be anything that I own from E.L.F…. so many $1 items, including my “holy grail” eye primer. Most expensive would be my Tom Ford Lipstick in Black Orchid. (I’m not counting any palettes or sets, just singular items). The lipstick was $50 and I hunted it down for months, before stumbling upon a few rogue tubes at Bloomingdales. The color worked on me so much better when I had dark hair, and is now reallllly extreme-looking with my strawberry blonde locks. I think it was the cult following appeal that got me searching for it.

2. WRATH: What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with?
My Victoria’s Secret lipglosses.. I love the shine and staying power of them. Sometimes, though, the scents can get quite overpowering, to the point of nausea, especially the banana and coconut ones. I just have to be in the mood for the very pungent scents, and I already have a love/hate relationship with bananas haha!

3. GLUTTONY: What are your most delicious beauty products?
Speaking of eating your beauty products! I really liked the lip glosses that Too Faced had in their Glamour Revolution palette from a while back, I would constantly find myself licking my lips. Also, the vanilla lip balm from Noya.. yum!

4. SLOTH: What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?
Night cream, most definitely. I buy them, then use the for one or two nights, and then promptly forget about them. I should also probably floss a bit more :/

5. PRIDE: What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?
It’s a tiny little thing, that maybe only makes the biggest difference to me, but I think I look like a different person with dark eyeliner on my waterline. It instantly gives me (in my mind), a come-hither smiz-ing gaze that makes me feel sexier and a bit mysterious. My favorite is the Le Crayon Kohl in Black Coffee from Lancôme).

6. LUST: What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?
If we’re talking physical – eyes and smile, of course. I like kind eyes and a big, comforting smile.

7. ENVY: What items would you most like to receive as a gift?
I love receiving makeup palettes.. Having so many new colors and formulas to try is like getting a whole bunch of gifts, rolled in to one! Also, I adore receiving bottles of perfume that have been on my wishlist for a while… Those are usually the pricey ones that I can’t rationalize spending a whole bunch of money on (like Not a Perfume or Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet).

Yay, I love doing quizzes!
I’d love to see your answers, please comment with them below!

Natural Products West Expo

March 21, 2015

It was my 5th year of attending the Natural Products West Expo and I must say that this was my favorite show thus far! The Expo is an enormous gathering of hundreds of vendors, introducing the latest technology and products in the health food, supplement, and beauty industries. It’s a trade show that’s different than most of the others I attend, because the vendors truly want you to explore, taste and experience what they have to offer and are happy to offer up samples of their goods to take home and enjoy (or sometimes not enjoy, I’m looking at you, Mama Chia!) at your own pace. I was able to take a couple shots, amidst all of the craziness..

Here, all of my beauty finds.. I was especially happy to come across the booths for Nourish Organics, Acure, and Aubrey Organics! They definitely hooked it up, and I can’t wait to try some of their new products (especially this eye cream from Nourish).

February Beauty Buys

February 28, 2015

I love that so many online retailers put their summer beauty sets on sale in the beginning of winter, because it’s no longer warm weather time in most parts of the world. I, however, live in Southern California where it’s summer about 8 months out of the year! I’d had this set from Sephora in my cart for months before I finally clicked “check-out.” The bronzers, bright lip colors and fun nail polishes are welcome in my makeup kit all the time, but it’s awesome that I can buy pretty little sets at great discounts and start using everything right away.

Benefit Cosmetics Bronze N Dandy cheek/lip set
MAC Pro Longwear lip pencil in More to Love
MAC Miley Cyrus Viva Glam lipstick
The lipliner and lipstick combo was recommended to me by a friend who works as a makeup artist for MAC. The liner is a great slightly darker, cooler base for the lipstick, and helps it stay on for hours upon hours.

And then, all of the lovely skincare and fragrance samples Sephora sent to me!
