What I'm Loving

I'm feeling way slightly stressed with work right now (please say a prayer) and when I'm stressed I have a few different outlets I reach towards: shopping, exercising and writing.  It's amazing what all three of these things can do for one's spirit.  I cannot go into much depth about what is stressful but I could just scream.  This is what is on repeat in my head right now: I will make it until May 24th, I know I will. Deep Breath.

I'm also a worry wart and this does nothing but make everything seem worse. Moving on to happier topics.

I'm a total product junkie.  I love to try anything and everything that has to do with make up, toiletries, hair care, nail polish, etc.  Lately, I have tried oodles of products that are making it onto my "can't live without" list.  Let's discuss these things, shall we?

Hair

This is not a new product for me as I've been using it for 2 years now.  I used to switch shampoo and conditioner each time I ran out of a bottle.  Then, I discovered Wella.  Life change.  I use the Brilliance line which is for coarse, color-treated hair.  The smell is divine and it works wonders in all aspects.

I must have a detangler to function.  My hair is major coarse and tangles easily.  When I get done washing my hair, I spritz this all over and then use a wide-toothed comb.  It makes brushing so easy and also is supposed to be healthy for your hair.  So far, I love it.  I think it does smooth my frizzy mop.

I read about this in a magazine and picked it up the other night on a Walgreens run.  After combing my hair, I apply two pumps of this to my hair concentrating on the ends.  Today, I blew dry my hair and then just added a few loose curls and went with it.  I'm loving the beauty balm so far!

Make-Up

I am in love with Mary Kay's Timewise Luminous-Wear Liquid Foundation.  It provides great coverage for all day and leaves skin with a pretty glow.  If you're looking for a new foundation, I recommend you try this out.  The foundation doesn't have SPF, so I apply this first...

Mary Kay Foundation Primer with SPF 15.  

I bought the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion this week and I'm hooked.  It is a little pricey, but so worth it.  I can tell such a difference in how my shadow applies and stays on throughout the day.

I typically am not one to like super pink lips.  I'm more of a neutral person.  However, all of these bright colors this season are making me fall in love with pink.  I bought this at Sephora and cannot quit wearing it.  I've worn it everyday since and it even has a slight glitter to it.  It's their Jumbo Glossy Lip Pencil in Pink.

These Mary Kay Creme Eye Shadows are amazing.  They apply great and wear well throughout the day.  The creams are perfect by themselves or under your favorite eye shadows.  I have the dark, bronze one and the light gold.

Skin Care

I'm using the entire Mary Kay Botanical Effects line right now. I love each product in the line and feel super refreshed after each use. My two favorites are the moisturizer and freshen spray!

Nails

 Essie - Lady Like.  The perfect blush/nude color.

For the days you are feeling more rowdy, grab Maybelline's Color Show in Pinkalicious.  I picked this up tonight while grocery shopping and couldn't wait to get it on my nails.  It's the prettiest, girly pink for summer.  I really am falling in love with pink.  Next on my list, pink skinny jeans like these...
