July 'Make up' Favorites

Hello Lovelies <3

  How is everyone doing?? I hope that wherever you may be, that you are having the most beautiful day possible.
    I don't think I have done a Favorites post ... ever. While this will be my "first" it definitely won't have all of the products I want to put in. My Husband and I are traveling and I unfortunately didn't bring everything with me.. (make up essentials.. yes) So I will just dedicate this July Favorites to make up with an exception to a hair product that ever since using I can not live without. Will post a full July Favorites when I return home. Let's get started :*


 
Loreal Lumi Light Infusing Primer / Ulta

Dior Créme de Rose / Sephora
I know everyone that loves makeup and beauty products probably has this and swears by it.. It is absolutely perfect and feels amazing on the lips, I also love that it has an SPF of 10. Which you always need especially in the hot summer sun.  Pucker up :*

Becca Ultimate Coverage C.C. in Shell / Sephora
Was so excited when the Sephora by me finally had this shade in stock. I have been wanting to try it for so long, but they never had it (enter sad face) But the beginning of summer when everyone else starts to get a beautiful tan and moving up the color wheel for foundations.. the finally had my color in stock, and I was not disappointed in waiting and waiting for it. I absolutely love it, it is one of my favorite foundations and now that I know this is definitely my color I can order online if I ever have the Out-of-stock problem again. 


Kat Von D Lock it Foundation #44 / Sephora
Even though this is a heavier foundation and it is summer, I still swear by it. I love the way it goes on  (even though it dries quick) and how it wears throughout the day.
 Right now I am a little bit tanner than I usually am I mix this with the Becca Foundation (pictured above) they make the perfect combo and perfect color for my complexion right now <3 

Givenchy Poudré Premiere / Sephora
This translucent powder is amazing, yes the price is a little higher than most and this has a tiny fragrance. But, if you don't mind that then I would definitely recommend or try this out. Leaves the face feeling soft and doesn't show signs of powder which is a big plus for me =]


Anastasia BH Contour Kit (Light to Medium) / Anastasia BH
Absolutely perfect ! This contour kit has all the shades you would need to create the perfect silhouette for your face. The ones I use the most are Banana, Vanilla, and Java. 
Sometimes when I want to do a neutral eye day look I will use vanilla and fawn its like the perfect pair, slap on your favorite pair of lashes and BAM perfection all around. Love love love <3

Living Proof , Perfect Hair Day Shampoo / Ulta
I have been using this consistently for a little over 3 months and I just love it ! Absolutely love how my hair feels after washing and blowdrying. Hair looks healthy and I mean its just perfect. I haven't tried any other Living Proof products, if there is anything you all would recommend let me know!



Please let me know if there are any products you recommend that have worked better for you instead of the ones that I listed. I would love to try out some new products. Hope you enjoyed my mini July Make Up favorites .. look for a full favorites up soon <3 

Love,Hugs&Laughter,

Catching Up on Life

Hello Lovelies !

   It has been way way way too long since I last did anything on here..... let's see a lot has happened so instead of all the boring deets, I will go with the spark notes version. =]  Ready, Set, GO!

November 9th, 2014 - Got engaged to my Best Friend and love of my life.

January 8th, 2016 - Hubby and I got married and it was beautiful, it was the absolute best day of my life.. being able to marry your soul mate and spend the rest of your life together is a true fairytale and I can't wait to go through and create more memories together <3

January 12th - Left for our HONEYMOON!! St Barths here we come, it was absolute paradise and we can't wait to go back. These are only a few picture I took of the island... we flew in to Saint Martin and then hopped on the little Winair plane to St Barths. Once arriving we went to go grab our rental car and were escorted to our villa in St. Jean..

Where we stayed <3 





Loved this bag, had to get it... from one of the many adorable beach shops in St Jean.


Passion Fruit + Vodka = Ah-Mazing <3 Dinner at Eden Rock


Driving around the island


Time for Snorkeling =]

If these aren't words to live by on a beautiful scarf then I just don't know <3






Our Honeymoon was so beautiful we didn't want to come back =[ 





Fast forward to February 15th and hubby and I found out we are... expecting !! 
We were in definite shock but beyond thrilled! We weren't trying and I was on bc, we were thinking of waiting a year or two.. but the lord had other plans and is blessing us with a little one this October. 

This is how we told family =] 


The Easter Bunny =]




And then came the Gender Reveal April 23rd =]
Surprise!!





Can't wait for this to happen ;] At least it is a cute beach tote <3



Hope you enjoyed the spark notes version of what has been going on and I am going to try to update more often with fun baby stuff (even though she will be here in 79 Days but who's counting) among other things =] 


Love,Hugs&Laughter
