Feeling Lovely Friday: January 2014 favorites

Hello Lovelies,


So today is the last day of January... and it did not fly by. I feel like it went by at a normal pace. I always want someone to say that in a youtube favorites videos cause everyone is always like "IT WENT BY SO FAST" I just want someone to be super boring and be like "It went by at a normal pace" lol. I am that boring person. So anyway lets get right into it!

Make Up

Naked 3 Palette- I love this so much. It was mentioned in my 2014 favorites and now I've been using it wayyy more. Its got such nice, pigmented colors. They're all kind of rosy colors which is in right now I believe, and its just one of those really fun girly things.

Maybeline Babyskin Primer- I love this! It's great with my covergirl outlast 3 in one foundation (just started to use it for that and I dig it) and my Olay fresh effects BB cream. It moisturizes, it reduces pores, it makes foundation stay on nicely. This is the only primer I've ever really used... so I guess I don't have a great expertise on the matter... but I really like this.

Covergirl TruMagic... goopy thing? - I don't know what this is called. I think I actually have the product right next to me... but my room is dark cause I have no lightbulbs AT ALL so I probably wouldn't even be able to see it. That's not the point tho the point is you rub this goop on your face and it makes foundation/bb cream look better and feel nice too. I've already hit pan on it actually... I think I've been using too much. If you get oily throughout the day, you can put this in your bag and reapply to de-oil. It's nice if you don't get oily throughout the day too! It's just a good product all around.

Covergirl lipstick in Flame- I don't know what the full name of the lipstick is, its just their regular lipsticks I think. I think this is the type Taylor Swift uses I think I've heard. It looks really nice, it kind of feathers out, but its a really nice color and it stays pretty well.

Covergirl jumbo gloss balms- These I really like too. It's a nice formulation and a good color payoff. It looks like a lipstick and a gloss in one, so it's a good one stop shop. I'd totally get more of these. They are really nice!

Maybeline Master Glaze stick Blush- I've just started experimenting with blush and I've been using this a lot. Mine is the color Just Pinched Pink. It's a nice natural looking blush that's easy to work with. I like it!

Body 

This may be my favorite category... and if you've noticed from my mega collective haul where I got a lot of bath and body works stuff... I'm a little obsessed. So there's going to be quite a bit of these.

Forever Midnight Triple Moisture Body Cream- Ohhh my gosh I absolutely love this stuff! It smells incredible and it just feels like the most luxurious thing you will ever use on your body. It is sooo soo nice. This is a little more expensive than their regular signature collection triple moisture cremes, but I think it's a much different formula and it feels more luxurious. The regular signature collection ones are great too and I may be buying some tomorrow... idk lol. I really REALLY like this particular scent and formula. They were $8 during the semi annual sale and I'm sure when they have the sale again they'll be $8 too. They just feel so good.

Golden Magnolia Sun BBW scent- This stuff is new and it smells sooo dang good. I got like 4 of the mini lotions when they first came out cause they had a 3 for $6 special and then I got one for free. And the shimmer mists were on sale, so I got one of those as well. It smells amazing and I really like it.

Velvet Sugar Body Mist- Again an AMAZING scent. Its like Pink Chiffon but a little different... idk I really really REALLY like it.

Skintimate Dry Skin Shaving Cream- I ran out of my EOS shaving cream when I was home and they are really hard to find by me for some reason. Anyhoo I tried the skintimate one because I do have very dry legs and Holy crap. This gets such a close shave and makes my legs feel really soft. My legs still itch a little bit, but this stuff is still really amazing. I'm picky with my shaving lotions, I've been using only BBW's True Blue Spa and the EOS one for over a year now, so anything that I like more or as much as those is a pretty big deal for me.

Ulta Shower Smoothie Merry Macaroon- I really like the smell of this I've almost used mine up. It is a Christmas scent, so I'm guessing they don't have it in store anymore... but if its on sale or anything try it out. It smells really nice and not too Christmasy.

Hair 

Pantene BB Cream- I've talked about how much I love the Ouidad hair souffle before... and I ran out recently and it's expensive and I couldn't really afford to replace it yet. I have to say this works just as well at softening my very VERY dry hair. The only thing is because it isn't a curling/styling product... my hair has maybe been a little less curly than it was when I used the soufflee. But still it's wayyy cheaper and just as nice.

Garnier Dry Shampoo- I like this a lot! It smells amazing, it doesn't dry out my hair like the last batiste one I tried and it just makes it look clean and volumized and nice. Idk if its cheaper than the Batiste or not but it may be easier to find. Although they are starting to sell Batiste in more places now. Idk both quite amazing.

Fashion 
I don't think I'm going to post much here because I want to do a full fashion faves post eventually... maybe idk. Basically I've been dressing like a hipster and wearing a lot of flannel shirts, beanies and hipster glasses. I also have been LOVING stud earrings and tiny necklaces. And Midi rings I've been liking and layering jewelry. I've just been having fun with that... there is one thing that I WILL mention though...

American Eagle/Aerie Hoodies- Omg these are amazing. I have a Men's hoodie from regular American Eagle that I was just wearing and it is the softest thing ever. I got a men's hoodie because it had a sherpa hood. Victoria Secret had really nice Sherpa Hoodies but they cost like $100 and I'm not going to buy a hundred dollar hoodie. American Eagle's girls sherpa hoodies were actually really ugly and puffy looking... so I got this one and I really like it. It's not overly masculine looking and if anyone asks I'll say its my boyfriend's: Astronaut Mike Dexter.

The Aerie hoodies are actually for girls and are also amazingly soft. I bought one every day for 3 days... lol. They were $15 on sale last time, idk if they are still there. They have some new ones it looks like thought that are still under $30 which is not bad for a hoodie.

Snacks 
why not do this while I'm at it.

Jiff Whips- whipped peanut butter? AMAZING! They have regular and chocolate peanut butter. Quite spectacular.

Cherry M&M's- I love chocolate cherry anything and these are amazing. These fill the whole in my heart after the chocolate cherry kisses left.

Television 
30 Rock- Idk why I've been OBSESSED with 30 Rock recently and it makes me sad that there aren't new episodes any more. I've been loving watching the repeats, listening to the soundtrack on youtube (which I was listening to while writing this) and looking up the best quote montages on youtube. You know what character I haven't found a montage for? Kenneth. You know why? People would probably die of laughter. I think if you watch a bunch of Kenneth quotes together, you won't need to work out ever cause you will laugh yourself a six pack. I'm gonna try it.

So that is all. I hope you've found this helpful and if nothing else watch 30 Rock. It's FANTASTIC.

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
