I apologize for posting my March favorites late and I'll say it again, better late than never. I feel like I've been saying that too much lately, which is so not like me. (bad blogger)!
Here are my five favorites for March, these are all products that I've had and just started using. Wow, I'm actually surprised I was able to go the whole month without buying one new beauty product. That wont last for long though.
Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Shampoo
I tried this shampoo a few months ago and really liked it. Somehow it got hidden behind a bunch of stuff in my bathroom cabinet. So I decided to go through everything and found the bottle I bought. I was so happy that I found it but mad that I've had it all this time and forgot. I love using sulfate free shampoo's, there so much better for your hair and it shows. My hair feels so silky and shiny when I use this, plus it smells amazing and you can still smell it on your hair the next day. I haven't used their conditioner with it but I imagine it works just as well. It's not expensive either. I believe it was around $6 at CVS.
Confession: I hate being pale, I feel so much better with some color. I definitely don't have a olive skin tone and I'm not Italian but I have light to medium skin. I use bronzers all the time and don't get me wrong they definitely help, especially Bare Minerals Warmth. But, I feel that they look more natural with some sort of base color. I used to go tanning all the time, from my freshman year of high school up until a few years ago. Then I finally realized I was going to have leather for skin soon if I didn't stop. As painful as it was to stop, I finally did. So I've been on the look out for a self tanner that instantly gives you color because I know there out there.
I'm not talking about all the self tanners out there that take hours to build up. I've tried a lot of them and some work really well, actually I've been using Neutrogena's Micro Mist Sunless Tanning Spray this winter and it's probably the best drugstore self tanner in my opinion (especially for your face). But even with that one you still have to wait for 4 to 6 hours to see any color.
Hey Dolls!!!
I'm excited to start this new weekly feature on my blog! Every Wednesday I'm going to put up a new poll for you to vote on and the questions will be mainly beauty or blog related. I will keep the poll up until the following Wednesday so you can vote or see everyone else's answers. I think this will be fun to see what your fellow bloggers feel about certain topics and it might surprise you too!
You might be wondering about my beauty tip of the week feature, I started to realize that each week I was running out of specific tips to post. So instead of coming up with tips you've already heard or tips that wont benefit you I decided to stop that feature. That does not mean that there still wont be plenty of tips in my other posts, I'm always finding new tips to share, but it's not always once a week and I don't want to continue with a weekly feature if I can't guarantee I will be able to deliver. I hope that makes sense and you guys are okay with it :) I'll see how it goes for a few weeks and if I don't get a lot of feedback then I'll go back to the beauty tips.
This week's poll is: How do you fake a summer tan/glow in the winter?
Since we're right smack in the middle of winter (my least favorite time of the year) skin can tend to get pale. I personally need to have some sort of color or glow, I don't know about you guys. If you do, I want to know how you go about getting some color or a glow in the winter.
Vote in the poll below, if you have a different answer there's an option for you to add it. Make sure to leave a comment!!
I have a lot of bronzers in my makeup collection and I realized that most of them are by Physicians Formula,. a great makeup brand that I believe is known best for their great bronzers. I think I counted about 8 different bronzers by Physicians Formula. I honestly think there were only 2 that I wasn't crazy about. But I wanted to pick my favorite 4 that I use the most and share why I like them with you :)
MULTI-COLORED FACE POWDER PALETTE
I've always liked this one because it has a light color combination to not only enhance your skin tone but to also help correct imperfections. That's what the light pink and tan shades are for. So when mixing them all together it gives you a soft natural color. *I have this in light (in comes in bronze too). Unless you have dark skin, I would stick to the light bc the bronze is a little to harsh.
