My March Favorites

Hey everyone! So I know, I am a tad late writing about this! But I was just too excited to talk about my monthly faves...and Ive been so busy lately on the weekend! For the past month, there was always a guest at our apartment...making it really hard to film a video and edit when you are entertaining guests!

Moving on, I couldnt be more thrilled to share with you guys what I have been loving this month! Believe it or not...its not all makeup related...well its still beauty stuff...but I will let you judge!
Here is a photo of all of them:
So from left to right:
Bobbi Brown's Pot rouge in calypso coral
Marcelle BB cream in light to medium
MAC: Watch me simmer (from Real Sexy Limited Addition)
NARS: Shiap (this has to be my favorite lip color of all time...not even joking!)
L'oreal Voluminous Mascara in jet black (seriously love this product so much)
Lise Watier Correcting Brush
BOYFRIEND Perfume by Kate Walsh (available at sephora)

Last but not least is my new Bobbi Brown book! I actually own all of her books and she is my role model! I bought the book yesterday but I had to add it in my favorites, because I already know I will love it! Its for makeup professionals or beginners! She really gives a step by step of how-to's...its awesome! You guys should definately check it out and let me know what you think of them! There is also one Bobbi Brown book for teenagers called Beauty Rules that I am sure would also be a great read! When I was a teenager...she wrote a book called teenage beauty...and believe it or not, it seriously got me through high school! As a kid...I was awkward in my looks and I didnt even know how to apply eyeshadow and what a eyeshadow brush was! I was the kid that spent so much money on bonnie bell lip glosses! But that book really changed my view on makeup...and this is what I believe to be true:
"Makeup is made to showcase a woman's own natural beauty, and not to hide her whole face"

What are some of the product you are loving lately? Would love to hear all about your favorties!

Moisturize those lashes!

Hey fellow beauty lovers, and let me introduce you to one of my new topic idea: QUICK TIPS! A while back (like 3 years ago) when I had the channel SJLOVESMAC, I used to have quick tips videos where I would give you guys some of my favorite beauty knowledge in a 1-2 minute video....and guess what? I am bringing them back!!

Here is the first tip of my quick tip beauty series:
Introducing, moisturize those lashes! 
I was inspired to make this post by one of the models I was doing makeup on last weekend for a photoshoot! The model in question had AMAZING dense lashes, and I just had to tell her! Then she filled me in on a little secret....VASELINE!!!

OK so all you will need for this tip are the following:
1) A disposable mascara wand
2) Good old Vaseline!



Have any beauty secrets to share with me? Do you have an other way to get gorgeous lashes? Leave a comment below or tweet me :)
