[BEAUTY] Post facial X Simple makeup

So the day after I got my facial, I quickly noticed how my face was absolutely GLOWING! I was still in shock: Zero zits, zero black/white heads & no dry skin at all!

I had to run a few errands that day and wanted to add some "Pizzaz" to my usually simple makeup. I kept it simple: Liquid foundation, a bit of concealer, powder, black eyeliner, mascara and blush. However, it's the cherry colored lipstick that added a lil' sumtin' glamorous.

It was really cold that day but

5 minute makeup!

Hello loves!

 

Here's something fun and pretty random! Some of my favorite bloggers did the 5 minute makeup challenge and I wanted to try it! I actually succeeded lol but hey...I usually have less time than that to do my every day makeup and as funny as it sounds, I usually do it on the bus on my way to work. 

P.S. This was done today after work since I did not wear ANY makeup to work #FoReal

Would you ladies be able to put makeup in only 5 minutes?

Let me know!

My 5 favorite products/items this summer

I get a lot of questions about this! I could go on forever about my new/old favorite products but decided to limit this article to my top 5.

Check out my faves this summer:

1. Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner

Dude. This works like MAGIC! Not too long ago, I heard about this thing called Co-Washing (washing your hair only with conditioner, it really works) and I tried tons of conditioners and was not impressed...I also wasn't down to pay more than 10$ for a conditioner I would be using almost every single day. After reading this article on CurlyNikki, I decided to try the HEHH and was pleasantly surprised! It's super cheap (about 6$ for the biggest size) and worked wonderfully on my short hair. It moisturizes my hair completely, makes it a bit too easy to detangle and also works well as a deep conditioner. I strongly suggest it. 

Available at pharmacies, Wal-Mart etc.

2. MAC Girl About Town super bright pink lipstick

Again, something I discovered by accident. Those girls at MAC are really good at making you buy a dozen articles when you only came for two! I love this lipstick & think I will be re-purchasing it, especially since it adds the perfect punch to any simple outfit. Oh, and Beyoncé wears it so it's obviously awesome. Hehehe...

Available at MAC Stores
