Hello My Beauties!

I completely understand, the search for inexpensive Stocking Stuffers is a hard one! Even finding a cute little present for a friend without breaking your bank is tricky. So, if you want the best gift idea, or just a last minute buy, look no further than this blog post!

Bath and Body Works Mini Candles

If you ever want a great little gift idea for the holiday season, I would first go to Bath and Body Works! They have great scents that are very inexpensive. I included the minis because, even though they are slightly over $10, you can get a full line of products for a low cost.

Forever 21 Jewelry

If you are looking for a great piece of jewelry that looks a lot more expensive than it actually is, go to Forever 21! They have all different sorts of earrings, necklaces, and rings ranging from $4-10!

Fuzzy Socks

In my book you can never go wrong with fuzzy socks. Whether they are used around the house or at night with lotion, these socks are a girls best friend this winter! I have seen some animal ones at Old Navy and Bath and Body Works as well, but honestly fuzzy socks are pretty universal. Go to any clothing/fragrance store and I bet you that you will find a great pair for a low cost!

Kate Moss Lipstick

Now this is my personal favorite brand of lipstick, but any drugstore kind will be perfect! I love Rimmel London’s Kate Moss (as I have rambled about many times before) for many, many reasons. But the best thing is that they last and are very pigmented, so there is no worries when going out for a holiday dinner with the family! These were $6 each and definitely worth the money.

Pajama Pants

Old Navy is having a great sale right now where all pajama pants are $6! I have a couple of pairs that I love and being able to get them for that cheap is so great! So if you are shopping for a gift or something a little more intimate (if you know what I mean 😉) then head over and get a pair!

A Little Combination Skincare Guide

Hello My Beauties!

I constantly have issues with finding the right skincare products, and makeup, that will help with my combination skin type. It’s hard since I also have sensitive skin, so I can’t use anything too drying or harsh in fear of what my face might do…

So for this post I am telling you guys about a couple products that I have used and seem to work well with! Enjoy! Also comment with your fav oil-controlling products!

Simple Skincare Oil Balancing Cleansing Wipes

Now, I have mixed feelings about this product. I am not a huge fan about how they feel on your skin. And since I have sensitive skin, as stated above, I don’t do well with scratchy products. Okay, okay, so they aren’t scratchy but they also aren’t super soft. Other than that they take off my makeup very easily and they DRAMATICALLY reduce the oil on my forehead (thank you!).

Body Shop Seaweed Clarifying Night Treatment

This stuff is powerful, and really helps! The woman at the store said that it moisturizes, and even though I think it does, I am not quite sure. The downside is that if I try to use a moisturizer on top it kinda brings back the shine *sigh*. Even though I do like this product, I am not as excited about it as I was when I got it, and I think I might try the actual Moisturizing Day Cream version from the same line.

Body Shop Tea-Tree Facial Wash

This product is THE BEST! My skin has been going through some tough times but I really do like this wash. And even though it does not explicitly say that it clears up oil, I have noticed that it does just that after I have washed my face. It has a very strong pine smell at first, so that might deter some people. But if you can stick it out, it is totally worth it!

Clinique 3 Combination Skin Cleanser

I used to love this product so much! I haven’t used it in a while, but honestly you see the results immediately! It’s a little harsh and has a slight alcohol smell to it, but honestly after you see that cotton ball covered in the dirt from your skin, you will get what I mean!

Post Halloween Post!

Hello My Beauties!

Happy Belated Halloween everyone! Sorry that I was not able to actually post this on Halloween, I had a pretty exciting night. But all is well and I wanted to share some cool pictures/post my latest youtube video!

I dressed up as a Greaser this year, which was basically the best decision ever! I got my shirt, jacket, and faux leather pants from Forever 21, the shoes and earrings from Payless, the bandana headband from Claire’s, and the lipstick is Rimmel London’s Kate Moss lipstick in shade No. 10. It was all so much fun and I was able to enter the costume contest with my friend who was also a Greaser!

Then my friend Walker and I carved pumpkins together (watch the VIDEO!) and headed over to a small Halloween get together. Sadly we got in a car accident and Walker could not go to the party, everyone was okay though! No Worries! But I ended up going and having a lot of fun with some old friends and a lot of chocolate cake!

All-in-all I am really pleased by the holiday and I can’t wait for next year! Please comment below with your Halloween tales! I’d love to hear them 😉

Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks,
