February Beauty Favorites!

February Beauty Favorites! 

Hello my beauties! So, I have decided to start sharing with you girls my 'monthly favorites' every month and let you all see what I am loving lately! :) I love trying out new beauty products, giving my advice on them, telling you girls whether it'a product to buy or a product that you shouldn't waste your money on! These monthly favorites are going to be the products I am loving for each month - Once we start up a new month I will be showing you girls my 'go to' products for that month! I usually post a photo on my Instagram every once in a while showing my followers "I love this" or "you girls have to try this out" now, this may be a bit easier to see them all together! With that being said, let's start !

Hair, lips, face, nails products and even favorite jewelry will be featured in my 'monthly favorites' if there is anything else you would like me to include let me know & I will make it happen!!


Now, let's begin talking about the products I'm loving lately ! 

Nails.

OPI Nail Envy.
Where can you find it ? Target, Amazon, OPI website.
I don't recall the price on Nail Envy but I think it was about $15 BUT you can also find it only for about $10-12 with shipping.
I've always heard great reviews on the famous 'Nail Envy' from beauty blogger friends of mine, YouTube girls I speak to occasionally and at the time my nails were breaking almost every couple of days is how it felt! And being a HUGE nail fanatic breaking your nails a couple of days can be dreadful (not really, but you know what I mean) once that happens I have to file all my nails done so one doesn't look weird! My nails just felt WEAK so I decided to give this a try. It is meant to keep your nails STRONG not help them GROW. After a month of using it on my nails I must admit, I was impressed and my nails have not BROKEN AT ALL. They are finally at the length I want them at, NO breaking nails at all. I was a little skeptical about it but after a month of putting it on my nails 2 times a week - amazing! 

Lips

MAC Pretty Please & EOS lip balm in Strawberry Sorbet.

Where can you buy them? MAC counter OR maccosmetics.com $14.50
EOS lip balm - Target, Walmart, CVS, online. About $2.99

 I love MAC Pretty Please because it is a light pinkish/nude color. I wear this shade A LOT because it's never 'too much' of a lipstick to wear. You can wear it during the day AND at night time with a smokey eye. It has a light shimmer to it, it's definitely my 'go to' lipstick when I'm not sure what to wear on my lips - I always go back to Pretty Please. 


EOS Lip Balm is pretty much heaven on your lips. I have almost all the flavors and I want and need a back up all the time. It's crazy how much I use this on my lips. It feels so good AND tastes wonderful. The package itself is adorable and I have it in my purse or school bag at ALL times! I also like to use this before I apply my lipsticks! It helps your lipstick go on smoother and last longer! Long story short - go buy this, NOW. You won't regret it, and for the price - you can't help but want to buy 5 at a time!


Hair

Pantene Pro-V Anti Humidity Hairspray & It's a 10 Miracle Leave In Product

Hairspray

Where I purchased it ? Target for about $5 + tax
Why I love it ? IT DOESN'T GIVE ME FLAKES, BIG plus for me. I used to never use hairspray because it would make my hair so hard and leave the white residue on my hair which isn't very pretty. After I started using this hairspray I really changed my mind. It's easy to work with even AFTER you have sprayed it in your hair ! Which I love, I always use this hair spray when I do my high top bun..I spray it on my hair, comb through it, spray again, comb through it and it always leaves such a nice stay ! I haven't used any other hair spray in months! And it smells so good - a very clean smell ! Check and check! 

It's a 10 
Where did I get it ? Target
How much? $18

I'm ALL for leave in conditioners and this one does 10 things for your hair.
- Repairs dry, damaged hair
-Adds shine
-Detangles
-Controls Frizz
-Seals and protects hair color
-Prevents split ends
-Stops hair breakage
-Creates silkiness
-Enhances natural body
-Flat iron and thermal protector

AND smells awesome!

I love this, I put this in my hair EVERY SINGLE NIGHT BEFORE BED. I have always heard nothing but GREAT things so I gave it a try and it's on my hair every night no matter what !

Face

Biore Pore Strips, MAKEUPFOREVER HD Powder, Maybelline Age Rewind 

Where I got them? 
-Pore strips -, Target about $7
-HD Powder, Sephora $32
-Age Rewind, Target about $8-9

Pore strips : I love to use these 2 times a month. You don't wanna use these daily because you need to let your skin breathe SO I like to do it only 2 times a month! The beginning and the end of the month to remove any noticeable pores showing. After deep cleaning my face I love to pop one of these on and pretend I'm at my very own Spa.

Makeup Forever HD powder - love love using this to set my makeup for the day! You can notice the difference on your skin as soon as you apply it. You get a REALLY nice MATTE finish on your face which I lovee - I apply it all over my face but like to really concentrate on my T-zone! It helps not only set your makeup but helps keep your face looking fresh rather than oily! 

Age Rewind - As you can tell by the photo, I am almost done with using up this entire product ! And that alone tells you I really like to use it ! I use this as an under eye concealer AND helps to brighten under my eyes as well. I like that it is a roll on concealer it helps really keeps right under your lashes to get a good cover up! This is the 2nd time I have purchased it. For a drug store concealer, I really LOVE it and the price is very affordable for everyone!


HIGHLIGHTER & BRUSH

MAC 187 & MAC Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle

Where to buy? MAC counter or maccosmetics.com

MAC 187- $42
Skinfinish - $30

These two will probably FOREVER be my favorites! I use them everyday and for as long as I could remember! I love the 187 brush because it really helps to pick up the product & makes it easy to apply the highlighter on my cheek bones! Soft & Gentle has and will always be one of my favorite highlighters for my cheeks AND for summer time I love to put this lightly over my face to give me a nice summer glow look !

Jewelry

Earrings purchased at Forever 21 for $4

I have been wearing these a lot lately, they are so simple yet have such a nice sparkle to them that always dress up any outfit I am wearing. I love wearing these especially when I have a high top bun!
I like to either do a statement necklace or statement earrings depending on my outfit ! But I love to always have small earrings I can just grab that will go or dress up any outfit I am wearing for the day!  




& that sums it up for my monthly favorites!
I hope you all enjoyed this post & let me know what are YOUR monthly favorites OR if you have tried any of these ! I hope you girls are having a fantastic week!

Love.
Natasha Marie

Ombre Lips

Hello Ladies! So as many as you all have seen in the make-up world, Ombre lips have become a very popular make-up trend, so I will show you  how to achieve Ombre lips [the easy way] 
So Lets get started....

1.First start with moisturized lips.

I use my own homemade lip scrub to exfoliate my lips at least once a week.

2.Then I apply lip balm [here I am using Maybelline baby lips]. Then choose a lipliner about 2-3 shades darker than the lipstick you want to apply. 
3.Now, thickly line your lips leaving the middle portion free of product.

4. Take your lipstick [here I am using Wet N Wild’s 901B Think Pink lipstick],
and apply it to the middle portion of the lips. Take your lipliner and re-line your lips to blend the edges. To blend it even more, take your finger and blend the edges where the lipliner and lipstick connect.

The finished look
5. To add more shine apply a clear lipgloss or a lipgloss the same shade as your lipstick.
What I used
NYX lipgloss in Lilac Petal
Wetnwild lipstick in Think Pink
NYX lipliner in Pinky
-Sofia

My Latest Obsession: E.L.F. Shimmer Lip Gloss~Dream

My Latest Obsession

So I found this while glancing in the makeup aisle because I was in need for some pretty lip gloss to match my glitzy look for a party, and I came across this spectacular product.
e.l.f. Shimmer Lip Glosses
This e.l.f. product is wild-tastic and leaves your lips glimmering in the sun. When you apply it, there is a cool sensation over your lips and leaves them looking amazing. This shimmer gloss is great for parties or just going to the mall with your girlfriends. I liked this product so much, I bought two others from the collection; Love and Inspire. Love is a deep raspberry color, Inspire is a lavender color, and Dream is a light pink-ish orange color, like peachy. I love them all!

Now, if you need inexpensive but quality makeup, I would buy e.l.f. products or New York Color because they are reliable and affordable. Simple and Safe. But if you want to go all out and splurge on makeup, then shop Sephora because their products will make you pop and dazzle (and make everyone in the room jealous ;) And that, my friends, is My Latest Obsession.


 P.S. You can buy this shimmer gloss for only $1.00 at most mini markets like Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, etc. This lip gloss is in a skinny tube so it may run out fast if you use it too often, but a little does go a long way! The great thing about this product is that you can buy 3 tubes of this lip gloss for only $3.00! Trust me, its a pretty great deal!
