what's in my shower.

Nothing is much better than a shower full of great products. After a long work day or a gruesome work out, a sudsy and peaceful bath or a long shower feels like a total reward. I am excited to share my favorite products at the moment. Quick side note: this shampoo and conditioner has restored the health of my hair. I'm not sure if I'll ever part from it. (scroll down for photo links). I will be sharing my hair products this week || stay tuned!!

Let me know your favorite products that are try-worthy! I love testing out new great finds.

my makeup go-tos.

If I'm honest, I would rather spend an hour on my hair and five minutes on my makeup when I am getting ready. My sister has always been so talented at the art of blending eye shadows and making your face a masterpiece, so my focus remained on curling my hair with a straightener and round brushing my locks. I have started getting more into makeup the last few years, although I generally prefer more of a natural look. Buuuut...I still have my all time favorites (some I use every day; some are saved for special occasions).Clockwise from the left:'Diorskin Airflash' Spray Foundation: I wear this on night's when I want my make-up to last. This makes your skin look like porcelain yet still looks natural. I use this buffer brush to blend it into my skin.MAC Eye Brow Brush: Filling in eye brow gaps and naturally shaping them makes a world of difference.MAC Paint/Brown Script Eyeshadow/Sketch Eyeshadow: Putting on this MAC paint will keep your eyeshadow in tact all night. These are my go-to shades that I wear to a dinner out with friends, a fun event, or a work meeting.MAC Select Cover Up: On the sleepiest day, this will make you look fresh and bright. I use this brush to apply.Chantecaille 'Hi Definition' Perfecting Powder: I always put this on after my everyday foundation using this brush, and it makes your look skin flawless.MAC Powder Blush/MAC Bronzing Powder: Most of the time I use only the bronzer, but at times I use the blush on my cheek bones to add some color and dimension.

obsession of the day: sheer lip liner

In preparation for a beachy trip this past summer, I was on the hunt for a perfect pink lipstick (MAC Snob is amaze). This seemingly simple task turned out to be better than that burst of excitement when you find the right shade for the following reason: I was introduced to the 'Contour Fill' lip pencil. In fact, it made my general packing list in the notes section on my iPhone. If it makes that list, it's one of my can't-live-withouts. The reasons why it is oh so good: #1 It's Chantecaille, a brand that will never steer you wrong. #2 This lip liner works for anyone because it's shadeless. #3 It actually works! (my favorite YSL lipstick doesn't bleed anymore). Hooray!
