Let's Stay Connected, Shall We?

Hi There!

I hope you're having a fine morning. The other night, I had a nightmare GFC (Google Reader) had already gone down and that I had lost nearly half of all my readers. Thankfully, it was just that - a nightmare. Instead, GFC (Google Reader) will close down on July 1st, 2013. The date is set. Are you ready?

If you're reading my posts via Google Reader or the Blogger Feed, then past July 1st, you may not see my posts anymore. To stay connected, you can choose from many different reader feeds such as Pulse, which is ideal if you're not just read blogs, but other news sites and magazines. Then there are others such as Feedly and Flipboard. But my ultimate favorite is Bloglovin.

June Wish List

Lately I've been trying to focus less on the things I want, and more on the things I absolutely need. This past weather has really been tricky to work with. I want to go out in my spring wardrobe full of all these girly dresses and frills but instead walk out in rain boots and my black raincoat. Where has my summer gone?

Popsugar Must Have June 2013

This month's Popsugar Must Have box has arrived quite early. Yay for an early box! This month's theme is about keeping fit for summer while adding some light easy to use things for your wardrobe. 

Too Faced Air Buffed BB Cream Review

I've been wanting to try a really good BB cream lately. After swatching everything at Sephora for a little bit, I decided to pick this up because of it's swatch in store. The swatch came out full coverage, not cakey at all, and very smooth. I checked Sephora and makeupalley for reviews, but at the time, it was still new and there were no reviews just yet. I decided to take my chances with this one.

Bobbi Brown Calypso Creamy Matte Lipstick Review & Swatch + LOTN

Recently, Bobbi Brown introduced these creamy matte lipsticks. I've finally been able to snag one and it's been quite a journey with this lipstick. At first, I thought it was too bold for my simple every day / night looks. I've never really worn quite a bright fuchsia pink before. So this one was my way of kicking the door of my comfort zone and trying something new. I have to say, I'm quite pleased.

Caudalie Divine Oil Review

So, I was kind of a noob when I first took these shots. I assure you, these were taken early in the days of blogging. (So please don't mind the awkward photo.) Anyway, onto the review.

I first heard of Caudalie Divine Oil from a friend, BluChiffon, who raved about just how awesome this oil is. She uses it alone as a body moisturizer. As someone who has dryer skin, I supplement my daily lotion with this oil.  You can use this on your hair, face and body. I've tried it once on my face and started freaking out when it just felt too oily and my pores felt gross. I tried it on my hair, but my hair is already an oil slick without the added oil. So that wasn't too nice. For me the best use was my body.

What's In My Makeup Bag

This Spring has been a mix of cold rainy weather and random bursts of sunshine. With that said, my hands still get dry. TBS Hemp Hand Protector is a thick lotion perfect for dry hands. This is probably the thickest, creamiest lotion I've got. Sexy Little Things by VS is a blend of citrus and flowers. Perfect for bringing out the sun behind the clouds. I've been wearing this a lot because it seems to be fitting my mood at the moment. It cheers up the day and awakens me. Mirabella Lipstick: I threw this in when I realized how absolutely moisturizing it was. It's nice enough to be a lip balm. I throw it between lip balm and lipstick. Maybelline L/S in Shocking Coral: Bright and summery, perfect for sunny days. Love the formula, color and wear. I'll be doing a full review of this soon. And do you recognize that bag? It's last month's Ipsy Bag! Lol, I never realized how handy it would come.

May Favorites!

This month, I've been using a lot of different products. With the temperatures changing sporadically, I feel like its been hard trying to put spring into full gear. It's been rainy and cold one day, with the next being sunny and in the 80's. I think its time mother nature made up her mind.
