July 2014 Beauty Wishlist

As many of you know, for the  past few years I have been very brand biased. Over the past year though. I have ventured into using various brands. Life is too short to not enjoy all the different choices. Plus, if for some reason you want to buy me a present... this is a great place to start. 

This is my current July 2014 Beauty Wishlist.

1. Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush- Too Faced in Candy Glow: I think I am more in love with the little heart shaped box rather than the product itself. This blush trio offers a foolproof blush application. Wear 1, 2, or mix all 3 colors. Rose pink shimmer, soft coral, and a peach shimmer. This girl needs this! You can find it here Sweethearts Blush

2. Better Than Sex Mascara- Too Faced: I am always on the search for a volumizing mascara. I suffer from a lack of eyelashes. The reviews I've seen for this mascara have all been positive. Definitely for girls looking for volume.The brush was designed to reflect a woman's body- hourglass shaped. Paraben free. Find it here Better Than Sex Mascara

3. They're Real! Push-Up Liner- benefit Cosmetics: I watched endless youtube beauty reviews for this bad boy. I am challenged when it comes to winged liner. My success rate is relatively low. This gel eyeliner offers a soft angled tip for a foolproof, smudge-proof, budge-proof line. Maybe I could finally perfect my winged liner. Every girl needs this! Find it here Push-Up Eyeliner

4. HD Pressed Powder- Make Up For Ever: I received a sample of this with a previous Sephora purchase. I am always searching for a finishing powder to reduce midday shininess and a quick touch-up. It is lightweight, works well to minimize shine, and softens your skins appearance. You can find it here HD Pressed Powder

5. Amazonian Clay Volumizing Clay Brow Powder- Tarte: Brows are the frame of the face, and I believe every girl needs to spend some time on them when apply their makeup. This powder is lightweight  and volumizing to define brows. I have sparse and wild eyebrows at times, so I ALWAYS need to fill mine in. This leaves you with a natural finish and the color does not move during the day. Get it here Brow Powder

6. LipSurgence Matte Lip Tint- Tarte: When it comes to lip products, I am extremely picky. No stickiness, shininess, heavy lip products. I tried the matte lip tint in store, and let me say... Just go ahead and buy me EVERY color. High pigment concentration, hint of peppermint, vitamin A & E, and extra moisturizing benefits. Need I say more?! Buy all the COLORS!!!! Matte Lip Tint

7. Naked Basics Palette- Urban Decay: I bought the Naked 3 palette after it first came out. It was my first Naked purchase, and at first, I was unimpressed. Then... one day I found this great tutorial and I fell in love! Now I decided I need the basics palette as well. The 6 colors are multipurpose and MATTE for those days you don't want to be extra shimmery. You can find it here Naked Basics Palette

Now, go buy me a gift :)

A Small Breath of Hope

This is a short post, but something near and dear to my heart. I needed some time to spill some words onto paper. Errr- keyboard.

Do you have a go to quote, saying, or bible verse? A few words that completely bring you back to earth. To calm your nerves. To dry your tears. To make you whole. You get the point... 

Let that soak in...

Is this not a beautiful promise? No matter how ugly, how hurtful, how painful, God can defeat all the bad and create something new and beautiful. I am thankful God has promised this to me. I will read this verse, say a little prayer, and breathe a little easier. 

Let me ask you this. Would you look at your current hardships differently now knowing God can use them to do something new? I know I will. 

Prayers and blessings to you. :)
