Tag: My Top 4 Favorite Makeup Products

Hello girls! This was a tag done by aebeidler on YouTube. I tag all of you to tell me your top 4 beauty products you couldn't live without!
  1. New York Color Lippin' Large Lip Plumper
This is by far my absolute favorite lip gloss I have ever tried. First of all it retails for only $3.99 so at that price you can by all 6 shades for only $23.94. My favorite shade is 472 Straberry Mousse. It is a soft pink that comes out lighter on the lips than it appears in the tube. I love this gloss because it slides onto the lips so easily. It isn't very sticky and it lasts the longest out of any gloss I own. It leaves a slight cooling and tingling feeling on the lips and helps plump them up. This is definately the gloss I could never live without.
    2.  e.l.f Professional Studio Endless Eyes Pro Eyeshadow Palette- Limited Edition
This is my favorite palette. It has 100 highly pigmented shadows of every shade you could think of. The price of $10.00 is unbeatable! This palette has every shadow color I'll ever need.
    3.  Maybelline Mineral Power Blush
Let me start off by sadly telling you all this product is discontinued. These blushes were my favorite for about 2 years. I personally loved the soft mauve color. The blushes were mineral based so they were not bad for your skin. They deposited just enough color to give a healthy glow.
    4.  L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes
I love the brush on this mascara. It defines and separates my lashes with no clumping. Ever! It makes my lashes so thick and long, like nothing else. It lasts for the longest time with no smudging or flaking. It also keeps the curl on lashes all day long. I will never use another mascara again.

What are your top 4 makeup products?

Today's Video: Organize Your Purse!


Hey girls! Here's a quick video I did to help you all get a little bit more organized! This is a great way to jump start the New Year early! Who's resolution isn't to be more organized?
Are you girls going to try these tips? Do they help?

Skincare Routine: UPDATED

     Hey girls now I know I have a skincare routine on my YouTube channel but it is from the summer and a bit outdated. I have changed it since then and thought I would share it with you girls.
     So the first thing to do before deciding on a skincare routine is to know what kind of skin you have. If your not sure there are plenty of great online skin evaluations you could take. I personally have combination skin; I am oily in the t-zone, with some blemishes here and there.
     Morning Routine:

  1. I like to start off with a cleanser. It's super important to cleanse first thing in the morning to remove any excess oils, dirt, or bacteria. If you have oily or combination skin you should stick to a foam or gel cleaner, for drier skin opt for a cream cleanser because they tend to be super moisturizing. I prefer cream cleansers to foam or gel ones so if you do have combination skin and opt for a cream cleanser make sure you choose one that is oil free and very light in texture. I use the Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser. http://www.cleanandclear.com/product/cleansers/continuous-control-acne-cleanser It removes all the dirt and oils and leaves my skin feeling cool and refreshed. It also has a low concentration of benzoyl peroxide. Make sure the cleanser you opt for has a low concentration of acne medication to chemically exfoliate the skin. Steer away from abrasive scrubs which will only dry out the skin. To cleanse the face you want to use lukewarm water and work the cleanser into a lather using your fingertips. Then rinse it thoroughly with lukewarm water, be careful not leave behind any residue. Finish with a splash of cool water and pat, don't rub, dry.
  2. Next I use a toner. This will remove any excess residue my cleanser left behind. I use  Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Stress Control Triple- Action Toner.http://www.neutrogena.com/product/oil-free+acne+stress+control-+triple-action+toner.do?sortby=ourPicks Apply the toner to the entire face using a cotton ball. Try to stay away from astringents which are toners with a higher alcohol level. They can harm the skin. If you do opt for an astringent only apply it to your t-zone or acne prone areas of the face.
  3. I always follow my toner with a moisturizer. Moisturizers moisturize the skin and can prevent premature aging. I use the Wet n Wild Fresh Face Skincare Clear Skin Oil-Free Moisturizer. (Discontinued) Make sure to apply right after cleansing and using your toner so the pores are still open. And make sure your moisturizer is oil-free. If your moisturizer or foundation doesn't have any SPF don't forget to apply sunscreen.
     Nighttime Routine:
  1. Start off by removing your makeup. I use the Sonia Kashuk eye makeup remover.http://www.target.com/p/Sonia-Kashuk-Eye-Makeup-Remover-4-oz/-/A-10329666 I simply soak a cotton ball in it and then sweep it over my eyes.
  2. Next I cleanse but this time I use the Clean & Clear Deep Action Cream Cleanser to remove my face makeup.http://www.cleanandclear.com/product/cleansers/deep-action-cream-cleanser You could always use a face makeup remover for this step, but I find those make me break out. Then I use the same cleanser I use in the morning.
  3. Now I use a toner to refresh my skin. I use the same toner as the morning.
  4. Next I moisturize but I use a different moisturizer. You want to use a heavier moisturizer at night to really get your skin replenished. I use the St. Ives Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin Facial Moisturizer.http://www.stives.com/Facial-Products/Timeless-Skin/Collagen-Elastin-Facial-Moisturizer/
  5. Then I'll apply a spot treatment on any pimples I have. I use Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment.
     Tips:
Throughout the day there are also little things that I do to keep my skin healthy.
  1. First of all I drink plenty of water all day, it is just as important as using a moisturizer.
  2. Next I eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, which can contain antioxidants that prevent wrinkles.
  3. I try to exercise every day to help relieve stress which can contribute to breakouts.
Hope that these tips helped! Leave your skincare routine in the comments.

Today's Video: Bre's Blabber-My New Website!



Hey girls! Today is Sunday so it felt like a blog type of day. I really have been feeling like vloging, so there will be more coming. Can't wait for my new website, can you?

Christmas Countdown: 13 Days!!

     
Wow December is flying by only thirteen more days until Christmas! I can hardly believe it. If your like me your probably flipping out a little bit because you still have holiday shopping to do! Well don't stress out just run to the mall this week and pick up some gifts. Love you girls and hope your not to stressed about the holidays.

Book Club: Justice by Faye Kellerman

     So the other day after school me and a gf were walking to her house, when we decided to stop at the local library. They were having a free used book giveaway. I was immediately super excited, since I absolutely love to read. I picked up five novels, this being one of them. It seemed the most interesting of them all so I have gotten right to reading it.I have been reading it every chance I get. I am about a quarter of the way in, and I am hooked.
     Here's a summary of the book I found on the Barnes & Noble website:
  The cruel and bizarre slaying of a beautiful teen leads Detective Decker into the dark heart of an exotic subculture: the seamy, sometimes violent world of Southern California's rootless, affluent youth. But even the confession of a disturbed kid with cold "killer eyes" cannot soothe Decker's inner torment. For he knows in his gut this crime goes much deeper and higher than anyone expects -- and that true justice, brutal and complete, has yet to be done.
    It sounds a bit morbid, I know. But I love a good suspense novel and all the reviews rave about this book. I have a hard time putting it down when I get to reading it. When I finish this book, you can count on a full review!
