No Money March Makeup Edit

It is so easy these days to get influenced by what others have, what we see online [pinterest anyone?], and all those great coupons that flood our inbox daily. That's why for March I have decided to go on a spending freeze [after buying new spring clothes at Gap this past weekend... that sale was too good to pass up. see what i mean... inbox coupons.] 

Instead of spending my money on myself and what I want, I am going to save it for the month of March and pass on the blessing to someone else.

"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." [2 Corinthians 9:7] 

When you're on a journey to save money you need to get creative with things you already have. Go on a treasure hunt in your closet and bathroom to find items that you have neglected. Give your old converse some love. Jazz up your eyes with an eye shadow palette you wouldn't normally use. Go through your lip gloss and pick some new ones to stash in your handbag.

^ After rummaging through my makeup products these items have been neglected and will be shown some love during March. ^

January Favorites 2014

The first month of 2014 is already over. WHAT? That went fast. January has been filled with lots and lots of snow. I also think the warmest day in January was 22 degrees.
That being said, here's what made the list for my January Favorites!
MakeUp Favorites:

^I have been using my Naked 3 palette this month. My two favorite shades have to be 'burnout' and 'limit'. They are the perfect everyday pigment. I put 'limit' on my eyelid and then add 'burnout' to my crease to add some shimmer.^

^CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3in1 has been my foundation for January. I have officially lost all of my summer color and needed to go down to a lighter shade (again). This works great for me. It has fuller coverage and last all day. It also doesn't rub off on clothes or scarves. 

I also love the pump on it. 2 pumps and I'm done. ^

^I have started a habit of doing a face mask at least twice a week. I love all the masks that freeman makes but this one is the favorite of January. It is really calming and really gets the grime of the day out of your pores.^

^I have loved the So Pink scent from GAP for years and years. It's kind of a summer-y scent but I will just pretend it's summer. It's a citrus and flower scent. I think it smells a lot like grapefruit. 

I always purchase more when I see it at a Gap Outlet.^

^NYX Blush in Terra-Cotta is a perfect winter shade. I haven't been using any pink or red shades for blush this month. It looks a little too extreme on my ever fading skin. This blush adds some color without being too obvious. It has the perfect amount of shimmer in it too.^

^I featured this pixi bronzer in my latest makeupmenu. I will use this on my cheeks to add some color and definition. I normally use laguna bronzer by Nars but find that when I am lighter during the winter that it can look too orange. This pixi bronzer is perfect for the winter. Pigment, shimmer, and no orange.^

TV: Chicago Fire & Chicago PD
^If you like intense rescue shows than both of these are for you. Fire is in its second season and PD is on its first. They crossover with each other. Plots and characters overlap between the two. I love it! An episode of either of these will make me cry, hold my breath, gasp, and cover my eyes. Bravo to the writer!^

Local: Silver Sage Headache & Stress Reliever
^A while ago I ordered some products from Silver Sage. She makes everything herself right in Ada, Michigan. She makes all natural vegan soaps and body products.  I started using this rollerball every night before bed and have fallen in love with it again. I roll it on my temples and behind my ears. If I know I am going to be in a car for a long time I will also throw it in my handbag and rub it on my wrists.^

Music: 'I am Mountain' by Gungor.
^It took me a while to warm up to this album and I'm not really sure why. It is great. I think it's so much different than their other albums (which I also own). I kind of feel like I have my itunes on shuffle when I listen to this album. Each track is so unique that it almost seems a bit disjointed. But that is what I like about it!^

HAPPY FEBRUARY!

November Favorites

Another month has come and gone. November seriously felt like it was only one week long. Here are some things that I have been loving during the month of November. 

Tori Kelly EP: Forward

I have followed Tori on youtube for a while and knew how talented she is. I saw her performance on Ellen and was once again blown away! Go buy her new EP. You will not be disappointed!

NYX Butter Gloss: Each one of these glosses are amazing! Everyone I recommend them to has bought one and loved it! If you want to start your collection, creme brulee and apple strudel are great nude options. 

Bath & Body Works Winter Candy Apple & Vanilla Snowflake Mason Jar Candles: The candles are basically amazing and are a perfect sweet scented combination. And you can reuse the mason jars when you have finished the candle. Win-Win! 

Elf Liquid Liner: Ok, first off this liner is $1! If you have a pretty steady hand when it comes to liquid liner than this one is for you. It stays all day long and is very pigmented. If you are new to using liquid liner than stay away from this. It's tough to try and fix it with a q-tip and can get quite messy. If you're willing to be patient with it, than for $1 it can be an inexpensive way to learn how to use it. 

Maybelline Super Stay 24hr Makeup Foundation in Soft Beige: This has great coverage and is very light. I have used this all month and it's just about gone. I will for sure be purchasing another one. 

Maybelline Falsies Big Eyes: I love falsies original mascara but I love that this one has a smaller brush for my lower lashes. 

Milani Baked Blush in Red Vino: This blush is pretty dark but also very blend-able. It's a perfect winter/holiday shade. The shimmer is very subtle too. 

Boots: During the month of November I think every girl got out their boot collection. Whether you're the girl that wears Uggs, rain boots, tall boots, or ankle boots. The boots for sure came out of storage this month! (I'm wearing the teal rainboots in the pic) 

No better way to end my November favorites than with some yummy treats. 

Chocolate Chex: What is there not to love? It's definitely a treat cereal that's for sure but for someone who can't have dairy, it satisfies my chocolate sweet tooth. 

Mike and Ike's: I have gone to the theater twice this month and these are for sure my choice for theater candy! Because each box is $1, you can stock up and save some for whenever your blood sugar needs a little help.

That's it! Tell me what you have been loving during this past month!
