YSL Spring 2015 Palette Ombres De Jour

Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2015 Palette Ombres De Jour.  

Ok guys the packaging is beautiful that IS why i bought it lets be honest.  But im going to keep it real this palette sucks! The shadows have little to no pay off (aka no pigmentation) and its tiny.  I laughed when i first opened it.  Im not hating for all the YSL lovers its just my opinion.  Unless I happen to get the only crappy one of the bunch?  I think not!

DAVIDS TEA: Tea for one please!

DAVID'S TEA

Hey guys

This new year 2015, i decided to drink more tea instead of coffee.  Even though i dont drink much coffee one cup mostly in the morning is my limit.  BUT i just dont really react well to coffee/caffeine any more and even some decafs.  I know what a bummer right?!

Im determined to make tea fun and new for me again.  I use to drink lots of tea years ago so i searched online and found David's Tea.   There is one actually very near my job. 

Made a visit and got my self the following...

1.  Cool mint tea tin to keep the tea fresh
2.  One organic bag of Rooibos cream brulee tea
3.   And one spoon that measures out the exact amount for one cup of tea.  

All this for 15 bucks and change. 

Im sticking to rooibos because its a naturally decaffeinated tea and the creme brulee is a nice sweet blend that i can have without adding any sugar. 

Of course you guys im not saying YOU HAVE TO BUY DAVIDS TEA.  That would be silly! Im not affiliated with them i purchased with my own money.  But there is something nice about drinking loose tea.  Having a nice mug with a little plate brewing your tea is nice and relaxing.  The British are on to something jejeje wink wink

smells amazing!

my favorite tea mug from urban outfitters

Too Faced Soul Mates blushing bronzer

NEXT HOLIDAY?  VALENTINES!

How exciting I love Valentines Day and this would be on my list of things id love to get for the special day.  Great gift idea guys.  

The packaging is EVERYTHING.  If you follow my blog there is one thing i say over and over again.  PACKAGING!!!  Its very important to me.  If i had my own line, i'd have to admit, my products would be about packaging first and product second.  #TRUTH jeje

This is the New Too Faced Soul Mates Blushing Bronzer in the color Ross and Rachel.  Its vegan and cruelty free... SAVE THE BUNNIES! ... and its HUGE.  Ross and Rachel, the one shown is pink.  The other color available for purchase (not shown) is Carrie and Big.  It's a peachy shade.  

GUYS i just got it! DUH Ross and Rachel from FRIENDS lol and Carrie and Big from Sex and the City.  My gosh im so dense sometimes.

These retail for 34 US dollars and I purchased mine from Sephora.  I used ebates first though.  Um hello 8% cash back? yes bitches! :P dont get offended friends.

Recommended 2015 face products

You Face is the first things everyone sees.  Its best to take care of it, here are a few products i use on the daily that i love.

1.  Lush's tea tree water.  Its a nice, natural astringent to use after you wash your face or as a makeup refresher.  It doesn't have that burny feeling and the Tea Tree has antibacterial properties that will help with acne.

2. I learned about the acne.org products from a friend i made through social media, Jennifer.  Im really grateful to her because i was pretty desperate to clear up my skin one day.  When i was much younger i had terrible cystic acne and the only thing that ever helped me at that time was Retin-A.  Now that im much older there are few times thoughout the year i break out.  I have tried to purchase Retin A again but the prices are ridiculous now.  So i turned to my friends and Jennifer recommended this to me.  It works very well for me as long as i keep up the regimen.

3.  Proactiv never worked for me for some reason but this mask i do love.  It leaves my face feeling and looking clean and matte.  (I have very oily tzone)  My pores also look clear and smaller.

4.  Purity by far is my hands down holy grail favorite face wash/makeup remover.  Its amazing how well it removes ALL of my makeup including stuburn eye makeup.  Its also a great gentle facial cleanser.  I have never broken out from this.

5.  I was putting together a goody box for another friend and i know she prefers more natural products.  So when i found this at trader joes i picked one up for her and figured i get one too.  I love it! it leaves my mouth feeling so fresh and clean and bonus is its natural and better for you.

6.  Finally Lush's bubblegum scrub.  I have purchased this so many times.  I love the smell and it works well at removing dead skin from my lips.
