Love List

Hunter Regent Wellies

We've been having an abnormal amount of rain lately.  

Plus, isn't fall around the corner? I am so not ready for summer 

to end, but if it is going to rain then one needs to be prepared, right?

These rain items would be fun to use.

 Love this vibrant and fun umbrella by Marimekko of Finland.

 

 

This Alexa Fringe Necklace is very fashion forward for the rocker chic at heart.  I think this would look great accenting an army jacket!

 Love how these classic finial silhouettes take on a fun and fashionable twist,  and adore the lively Lemon yellow finish. 

More bright additions that are classic in function, yet bold and fun, 

are these garden stools. 

Boots No. 7 Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum 

has become a new fave of mine!

I continued to hear how amazing this product was, so I thought I'd give it a try, and I am so glad I did! Love it! 

The claim is that it contains alfalfa extract which is supposed to help increase the effects of the anti aging ingredient in retinol. 

 These cosmetic bags come in many different adorable styles,

but mostly I love the sizes... just perfect! 

The small barrel bag is great to help keep my brushes clean.  

And there are pockets inside the medium and large bags, for eyeliners, etc. 

These are the best cosmetic bags I've ever used!

Cover Girl Lash Blast + Diorshow

I have been a loyal fan of Diorshow Mascara for quite sometime. 

I had hunted for a great mascara for quite sometime and had finally found "the one."

It didn't flake or smudge, and it thickened and lengthened.  

Seriously, a great mascara is hard to find, at least for me.... 

I swear, my eyes must be weird, because almost everything 

smudges and smears on me.  

 

Cover Girl claims that their Lash Blast mascara is comparable to Diorshow, 

so being the product junkie that I am, I thought I'd put this product to the test. 

I'm all for a lower price tag! 

I tried it. I am in love with it!

This truly is comparable with Diorshow. For reals. 

I'm sorry Dior, I truly will always be a fan, I've just found a mascara that 

fulfills my needs with out the price tag.

I'm Lovin' : tinted moisturizer

Tinted Moisturizer- Foundation is so tricky. I have yet to find the exact right one for me now that the sun damage from my teens has come to give me payback, so I stick with my tried and true Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer for now. A bit of coverage, but not so much you look like you are wearing a mask. The new illuminating version is best left to those without anything to hide, it's much sheerer than the original.
Oh, and pick up her translucent loose powder to set the tinted moisturizer.  It is the best!

Also, for those that want to spend a little less, during the summer I started using Olay Difinity Color Recapture.  It had a lighter coverage than the tinted moisturizure, which I liked for summer.  However, my sister-in-law tried it and did not like it.  It didn't work well with her sensitive skin.  I however, never had a problem and have liked it.  So, I guess this products depends on your skin type.  It is supposed to help with discoloration, wrinkles, dullness, and brown spots...all the problems my face is dealing with!  Help me! 

I found this product for a great deal at Costco.

For those days that I need extra help, I will use a mineral powder foundation.  After trying several kinds, I still really like the feel and coverage of bearMinerals. With four kids to get ready, I can never seem to get myself fully ready and out of the house on time.  So, I usually end up putting my make-up on in the car at lights or in parking lots.  So, my only hang-up with this product is that it is a loose powder and therefore can be quite messy, especially in the car.  I need to just get in the habit of putting it on in the house or find a pressed mineral foundation that I like.  I've tried a few, but yet have found one that I love... 

So, until I find a new one, this is my go-to powder foundation.

I'm Lovin: makeup

I've mentioned before that I'm a product junkie.  I love trying out the latest and greatest, and love finding new favorites! I have always been a fan of Bobbi Brown products, however, lately I have become a serious fan, especially with these latest products.  I'm just saying... these are fabulous!

Favorite Lipstick

L'Oreal's Infallible never fail lip stain and lip gloss have been some favorites for some time now, but they just added lipstick to the family. The lipstick has now become my favorite. If you put it on correctly ( put the color on, wait until it dries, then put on the gloss) it lasts for a long time! It never fails! Right now it is buy 1 get 1 free at Ulta.
