Color Focus: Radiant Orchid Shopping Suggestions

I started a new series on my YouTube Channel (here http://goo.gl/HzFD1x) focusing on COLOR! My first color choice was really a no brainer for me. I decided on Radiant Orchid. Which is Pantone's color of the year for 2014. I have really fallen in love with this color over the past month or so. Seeing Sephora's new Pantone collection really fueled it as well! (Take a look at the entire collection here http://goo.gl/4QGzO2

I included my top picks on my YouTube Channel, also a tutorial will be live tomorrow afternoon, and I will do a Shopping suggestions post here on my blog for each color I feature! Please be sure to include your favorite picks, and check out my Youtube. Any color suggestions for next video leave in the comments!!! Without further ado, here are my Radiant Orchid shopping suggestion!

Sephora + Pantone Radiant Femme Artistry Set $75

This set includes a really great sampling of products to choice from (all full size!). Nail polish in Orchid Chrome, Matte Lipstick, Face-eye-body luminizer (think Lorac 3d Lustre), Liquid Liner, Cream blush, and a cute little make-up bag. My top two items in this set are the Luminizer and that blush!!!! They are gorgeous and amazing quality! The set is really worth it just for those two products. Get it here http://goo.gl/Q3Fkic

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Woodstock $20 

Urban Decay Liners are some of my favorite eyeliners ever, and this color really fits the trend. Great used as a color base or a little pop of color on the lower lashline. Great way to bring a little Radiant Orchid to your daily routine! Get it here http://goo.gl/Tg2I4D

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Liptar in Hoochie $18

First off, I love Liptars! Black Dahlia is one of my all time favorite lipcolors ever. I have been trying different purple ones out. Hoochie is my favorite purple!!! It's just the right amount of purple and pink to make a beautiful, really true Radiant Orchid! They also just came out with a coordinating lip pencil that I love to pair with this! A great pick for a more bold person wanting to rock the trend to the fullest! You can find this beauty here http://goo.gl/IQ6aIQ

Benefit Lollitint $30 

Last, but not least is this beauty! I have always had a love/hate relationship with these Benefit Cheek/Lip tints, but I find I love this one! It goes on fabulously and it really give a beautiful purply, pink tint to the lips. Another great choice for someone less daring that wants to give this trend a try. I recommend placing this on a duofiber brush and applying it from there. If you dot it on, it stains very quickly. Buy this here http://goo.gl/gnSbuh
A couple other spotlight favs 
Sephora Formula X The Electrics in At Your Own Risk $10.50 http://goo.gl/JMbDlE
Sephora Colorful Eyeshadow in N29 Midnight Kiss $13 http://goo.gl/HPt47i

Hope you guys enjoyed my first Color Focus on Radiant Orchid! 

Stay Beautiful

Influenster: Dove Deodorant

I promise this is my last Influenster post of the day (hahaha). Honestly though, one other reason I appreciate Influenster as a blogger is that I constantly have content to talk about.

Lets talk about the new DOVE DEODORANT! This is Dove Advanced Care deodorant. I will just say right now that this is one of my favorite products I've ever received from Influenster. I've been someone who's suffered from dry, itchy, irritated underarms. With the new Dove deodorant it's so special because it actually heals and prevents underarm irritation from shaving and such. I was a little skeptical at first, but man this stuff works.

A little more info on the deodorant itself. You can find this at any mass retailer or drugstore. It retails for $4.88 at Walmart stores, and higher at other retailers. You can find more info and what retailers carry it in your area through the Dove website. http://goo.gl/LFxxEO
I do have a special offer for you though, if you watch a short ad on Walmart.com you can get $2 off making it just $2.88 (AMAZINGG! I already have my coupon ready!) bit.ly/raiseyourarms

Ladies, just give it a try for yourself! This is my new #holygrail deodorant, and i'm so glad I finally found it! #Raiseyourarms with pride!!!!

No redness, no discoloration, no dry skin! I can finally be confident with my underarms! It's crazy to think it's such a big deal!

J'Adore Vox Box

I don't know if you guys have heard of Influenster, but I am in love with there program. They offer special review opportunities for bloggers who are active on social media. The products they feature range from food items, to random items, to beauty/health products. I have been a part of the influenster community for a year or better. I am constantly surprised on how every one gets better. My most recent Vox box (their terms for the current programs) is the J'Adore. All items with theme of romance or love. 

The items are as follows, 
Red Rose Teas $4.49 for 20 bags- facebook.com/redrosetea
Hershey Kisses (prices vary)- facebook.com/hersheykisses
Boots Botanics Shine Away Mask $9.39- facebook.com/booksbeautyusa
Frizz Ease 3 day straight $9.99- facebook.com/johnfriedaUS

KISS Looks so Natural Lashes $3.99- facebook.com/kissnails

This is included in every box with details about each product. I really appreciate how they take the time to do these little things!

I love how they coordinate the items according to the themes. 

Lets start with the Tea, I LOVE this stuff. It's so yummy. When I first saw Creme Caramel, I was a little unsure, but that touch of sweetness really makes the tea out of this world! I am really going to be hunting this tea down. It came with a $2 off coupon, so I am all for some inexpensive, tasty tea!

I used the Boots Botanical mask the other night and am equally in love. Working for Sephora, I lust for the Glam Glow Mask for a great, deep, detoxifying mask. I love the way that it makes my skin feel refreshed, but not stripped of moisture. It's a great alternative at just $10. 

I am not going to take too much time about the other products because I've either not fully tested, or know I love them! Um, hershey's kisses are a no brainer. Yummy! I've used John Frieda for years and I'm really excited to test out the 3 day straight. I have to get a blow dryer though because you have to blow dry the product for it to work. Lastly, those Kiss lashes just look beautiful! I am going to be wearing them tomorrow, so expect a video and full review to follow. I've used numerous Kiss brand items and have never been let down. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this little peek at the Influenster J'Adore Vox Box! Make sure you check out influenster.com and follow on twitter +Influenster 

Stay beautiful,

Welcome Back!

Hello beauties out there! I've been slacking hardcore on all of my social media outlets in the last year or more. I've had a blog previously but I am looking to majorly revamp it within the coming months! Take this post as an apology for my absence and me making a commitment to making this page more!

I guess lets catch up. Since I've last blogged lots have changed for me in my life. I am now 27, still engaged to the most amazing man in the entire world (no real plans on getting married, life goes on). My beautiful daughter is now 7 years old!!!! She's still the light of my, most days, dull life. She is an amazing little girl. Mackenzie is smart (straight A's), an amazing swimmer (Go Vermillion Torpedos), and she has this amazing, loving, kind, funny personality. SHE IS AWESOME! If you've followed my Youtube channel since the start you may remember my little baby doing karaoke, seems like so long ago! Here's my beautiful family.

In September, I was blessed with a job offer from Sephora inside JCPenney in a local mall. The store had not been opened yet so I've been on board with my coworkers from the beginning of the store. I went through Science of Sephora training, we merchandised our store, and are very proud of our store. I've become a family with all these girls, and I love going to work each and everyday. I am currently a Part Time Product consultant, but I'd love to one day grow in the Sephora company. My love of makeup and utter passion has really helped me in my job, and my life is so enriched now that I am doing what I love. I am beyond blessed with this job! Sephora has also only fueled my need for beauty/skincare/fragrance knowledge. I hope I can bring some refreshing and new material to this page in the future. Here's a photo of me when we first opened, and my Halloween Makeup look.

Thanks for stopping by, please feel free to leave suggestions, requests, anything! I have a couple post coming up about my recent Influenster reviews, but after that I want to do some reviews and other fun stuff!
