Hey there my dears! Today i thought we could have a little chat about the things i have been loving for this past July. Now i know not a ton of makeup will be seen today but its just been too hot to layer much on my skin without the threat of breakouts. Summer and heat waves might just be the death of me! So here is a peak of the things i have been loving. For all that i can i will link you to where you can nab your own if something catches your eye.

The Favorites-
*Elizabeth Arden Good Nights Sleep Restoring Cream - Now sadly this one has been discontinued as all things i love tend to do, BUT they do have a substatute listed on their site that might be worth the try. As someone who suffers from very very dry skin though this product leavs me feeling soft and plump in the face after putting it on before bed. And a little goes a long way.
*Soft Matte Lip Cream - Abu Dhabi
*RIMMEL LONDON Professional Eyebrow Pencil - Dark Brown (My hair is black but black brows on my lighter complextion can look to jarring so the dark brown works well as a match between hair and skin)
* The Original Panama Jack Citrus Mint Lip Gloss - This is just a slap on and feel really good on the lips daily thing. Not much color payoff but feels nice if slightly sticky, and smells sooooooo good!
*AERIN Waterlily Sun - Now this little beauty smells fresh and clean and just all around amazing. Not sweet, no heavy floral or super candy sugary smell. The full size (Biggest size is only 50mil sadly) runs a whooping $110 but if you are willing to make that kind of perfume investment its worth a smell. Its one of those scents that links but fades enough to mix wth your own oils and just... its amazing. If you want a chaper alternative ive found it is similar to Elizabeth and James Nirvana White Rollerball
*Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Sunscreen SPF 15 - This is my overnight lip treatment, and it can give a slight tint to the lips so its perfect for running around during the day as well. I have both Honey (Pictured) and the original untinted one (Not Pictured)
*Ribbon Hair Ties
*Avengers paperclip bookmarks - These were just so super cute when i ran across them on ebay i needed to have them. Of course my baby Thor is my favorite. They have minons and mickey mouse and tons of other options, they are really cute, small and handy.

Now i know this is cheating... kinda. But the new One Direction song Drag Me Down dropped on the last day of the month. But since i listened to it maybe 40 times in that first day its totally my final July favorite. You can listen to the boys belt it Here!

These are all of my loves for July. Anything that i have been missing out on thats a must have? Im always looking for new goodies to play with! I hope everyones week is starting off on the right foot!

You & I ~ First impressions

Hey there turtle doves! So these past couple weeks ive gone into a kind of shopping frenzy, so we are gong to have alot of reviews, first impressions and how does it works coming up. But the first is probably the one im most excited about and couldnt wait to share with you.

Now for anyone who doesnt know im a child of the 90's, which means i have a firm appreciation for bands that are made up of four or five amazingly handsome guys who can also carry a tune. And just like my obsession with the Backstreet Boys (BSB 4 Life!)i have a serious thing for one direction. And like all marketing dont by celebs some of the products they have really peak to me. They have in as many years released three fragrances, and two of the three i love.

Ive wanted to pick up You & I since it was first released, and just havent gotten around to it. So when in Ulta this past week (And then later on on the Ulta website) i saw it, tried tester and was completely sold. Now i know fragrances are something entirely personal, something that works on my body with my natural scent could be horrible on someone else. Me and my mother trade scents often because after wearing them for a day we realize the chemistry is just not right with our body. Still i can say if you are a fan of sweet, not sugar sweet but just sweet pretty scents this is something you should look into

The Notes-
Top Notes- Mango, Peach Blossom, Grapefruit
Mid Notes- Peony, Osmanthus, Orchid
Dry Notes- Praline, Sandlewood, Musk

Now the notes in this perfume are to my senses perfect. The fruits balance out the florals perfectly, and the musky undertones keep it all from smelling like you rolled in a barrel of candy. The lasting power is a couple of hours on the skin which is why once i got home from the store buying the 100ml version i grabbed the roller ball for my purse, for when you are out touch ups. So far i have gotten nothing but compliments on the scent and know this will be the one that carries me into spring.

What are some of the new scents you guys are currently obsessed with, anything i need to check out pronto?

September Favorites!!!

Hello there turtle doves! September is one of the busiest months of the year and for good reason. With the season changing and summer ending it proves to be busy, people especially kids or those with kids have to get back into the swing of things and it can be a stressful time. Being one of those people with kids its been an adjustment period for me. But though that has prevented me from post my Saturday staples this last month is hasnt prevented me from using and loving things and thats what i am here to share with you lot today. Here is everything, in beauty, entertainment and life that i have been loving this month.

Makeup wise i havent been going crazy with trying new things though i do have alot on the way i cant wait to use! But this has been the most reached for lately and current in my everyday makeup bag.

Beauty aside i have been loving Netflix this month when i cant sleep (I may have binged watched Greys Anatomy super hard) And i caught up on my obsession from the month Outlander! I caught up just before the mid season finale and im so in love. I actually got the books on my Kindle just so i didnt have to wait to see what happened to Jamie and Claire. So im also currently reading Dragonfly In Amber and the feels are strong!

As for the music i have been loving lets be real it was all about one direction this month! And while Fireproof came out first i still dont know all those words. But Steal My Girl i have on a loop and im not the least bit sorry.

Perfume collection ❤️

Every lady and gent wants to smell yummy right? This is my very small but very amazeballs perfume collection!!!

*Our Moment- Bottle, Roller ball & atomizer

*That Moment- Roller ball

*Killer Queen- Roller ball

*Noir Tease- Bottle

*Too Too- Bottle

*Rebel- Bottle

*Curious- Bottle (Not pictured)

Some, like Curious and Our Moment are light, perfect for summer and spring. Rebel and Too Too are heavier, more woodsy scents and are perfect for autumn and winter, making you feel all warm and fuzzy. Its important to find scents not only that fit with the weather (So you don't feel suffocated in the heat of summer and super deep scents) but also that make you feel amazing and work with your bodies chemistry.

Tips on picking perfumes- Make sure you ask for samples, the companies give them away for free hoping you will fall in love so take advantage! Also if you aren't sure about committing to several ounces of a perfume try a roller ball (They also have testers of them in certain stores so you can get a feel so how the perfume might react to your own personal scent.)
