Unfading [beauty]

We often find our beauty by seeing it reflected back at us in someone else! 

You are made up of so many different parts and each of you are beautifully unique. That's what makes us all so very special! 

Hi pretty people! It's the first day for the week long "unfading beauty challenge"! I'm so excited and I hope you are too!

Some of my favorites:

I get a lot of questions every day about my recommended beauty must haves, so I decided to make a list for you!

Skin Care:
Simple SkinCare Moisturizer
Simple SkinCare Foaming Facial Cleanser OR Moisturizing Facial Cleanser
Simple SkinCare Makeup Wipes


Thoughts: I really like Simple because it's not harsh on skin and it's really effective at getting makeup off. A lot of chemically heavy skin care products cause me to break out or make my  skin tone uneven. Simple is gentle on skin and makes my skin 100% better than when I've used brands like Neutrogena.

Makeup:

Actually in love

TooFaced Tinted Beauty Balm //Snow Glow
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion //Sin
Kat Von D Tattoo Liner //Trooper
TooFaced Brow Envy Brow Shaping & Defining Kit
Clinique Black Honey Lipstick
Besame Lipstick in Red Velvet
Urban Decay Naked 3 palette
Sephora Volumizing Mascara //Black

Thoughts: If the Kat Von D tattoo liner was the only thing left in this world, I could be happy. My eyeliner is sharp enough to cut down anyone who stands in my way #fierce.

Perfume & Lotion
Daisy by Marc Jacobs
Pink Chiffon from Bath and Body Works

Thoughts: Pink Chiffon is my go-to body spray and Daisy is my "nice" perfume. Much love.

Tools
TooFaced Teddy Bear Hair brush set
BeautyBlender
ELF concealer brush
ELF setting spray

Thoughts: We all know how I feel about the Beauty Blender. #happy


Love abundantly,
Juliana

Super short post today, but I just want to take a minute to talk about my fabulous find.
These are currently the new craze in the nail world and they are called Jamberrys--or "Jams", according to Kay. They are vinyl nail wraps and are supposed to last for 2 weeks, according to the powers that be. I've used nail 'stickers' before--specifically the Formula X ASAP nail stickers--and they flaked and were just as unreliable as regular nail polish.  So I was really skeptical when Kay got me some for Christmas.

I'm legitimately in love. The wraps go on so easily and they are smooth and actually feel secure on my nail. I keep doing that thing that engaged people do where they hold out their hand so everyone can see the ring, except I'm doing it with my nails.

I really love the fact that I don't have to spend endless hours painting teeny snowflakes on my nails. Heck, I love the fact that I don't have to use paint at all. The Jamberry process is paint free, clean and so super easy. I think I might be hooked (I'm sorry, bank.)

(The nail wraps I'm wearing in the picture are called Let it Snow.)




Love abundantly,
Juliana
