Affordable Prom Style

Posted on May 30, 2014 | 2 comments

My youngest daughter recently went to her first prom. Naomi didn’t want to spend a lot of money. She is only a sophomore in high school and this wasn’t her school’s prom.

Image

I used mostly BH Cosmetics. The foundation I used was the BH Liquid Foundation in Mocha. I also used colors from the BH Malibu Eyeshadow & Blush Palette for this look.

Image

ImageNaomi curled her hair using the Bellezza Wand.

Image

The dress and shoes Naomi wore is actually her sister’s. The jewelry I purchased was from Charming Charlie (the jewelry was on clearance too).

Image

Image

Not bad for her first prom. I taught her well. 😉

What I Got Myself for Mother’s Day (2014 Edition)

Posted on May 12, 2014 | Leave a comment

I make it a point to get myself something nice for Mother’s Day. This time around I found some really affordable gifts. 🙂

Image

Image

I’ve had my eyes on this nail polish set for quite some time. I originally received the Pardon My French mini nail polish from Color Club in the June 2013 Birchbox. This color was from the Wanderlust collection. I would periodically check the Birchbox website to see if this four piece mini set was still available.

Image

Image

Birchbox offered another collection I liked as well. I received the Heirloom Pearls mini nail polish from Color Club in the April 2014 Birchbox. This color was from the Gala’s Gems collection.

Image

Image

Image

Image(L-R) Heirloom Pearls, Aquamarine Azulino, Gold Struck, Breakfast At…

Image

Image

These palettes from BH Cosmetics have been out for quite some time now. I was on the fence on whether or not I was going to purchase them. I kept seeing them on sale. I decided to buy the San Francisco and Malibu palettes during their Mother’s Day sale. I also purchased the liquid eyeliner.

Image

Image

 

Image

Image

I first found out about Nature’s Shea Butter when this company was on HauteLook. I ordered the Taste of Shea Mini Sampler. Nature’s Shea Butter had a Mother’s Day Sale on their website. This time around I ordered my favorites from the mini sampler pack. I also received samples of their soap.

A Closer Look: BH Cosmetics 12 Piece Pink Brush Set

Posted on September 23, 2013 | Leave a comment

Image

I purchased the BH Cosmetics 12 Piece Pink Brush set when it was on sale for $9.00 during a back to school sale on their website. This is the second time I purchased a brush set from BH Cosmetics. The first set I purchased from them was the 24 Piece Synthetic Brush Set. I couldn’t pass up buying another brush set especially when it was $9.00.

Image

I have not experienced any shedding with these brushes while using them. They hold the product well and the eye brushes are fantastic. The face brushes are soft and don’t scratch. The brushes didn’t shed when I cleaned them either. The case is really sturdy too.

Image

Image

Image

BH Cosmetics has another winner on its hands with the 12 Piece Pink Brush Set. This set with worth checking out. 🙂

A Closer Look: BH Cosmetics 24 Piece Synthetic Signature Brush Set

Posted on September 1, 2013 | 2 comments

ImageWith flash

ImageWithout flash

I’ve actually had this brush set for a little while. I bought this brush set while it was on sale (BH Cosmetics always has great sales). I did read the reviews on the set before I made this purchase. Two of the criticisms were the brushes shed and they don’t hold the product well. I did not experience that when using these brushes. Another criticism I read was that it was a problem the brushes weren’t labeled. That didn’t bother me either. If I can find another use for a makeup of brush, I will do it. I also had no problem s cleaning these brushes.

I found the BH Cosmetics 24 Piece Synthetic Signature Brush Set to be a great deal whether you are a beginner or more advanced. This is a great brush set to take when traveling. You have every brush you will need for makeup application.
