DIY | HONEY AND GREEN TEA SCRUB

i love making homemade body and facial scrubs, because they're so cheap and simple to make. For this scrub, you probably already have the ingredients in your panty, and if not, it's easy to find at your local grocery store! the honey and green tea scrub will leave you body (and face) looking and feeling radiant, soft and hydrated.

MARCH LUST WORTHY ITEMS

since spring is right around the corner (And i couldn't be more excited!), the things i have been lusting over are 100% spring inspired. 

COUPONING DEALS AT ULTA

i love couponing for drugstore goodies, i get a thrill out of it. if you do it right, you can get amazing deals. i spent $10.50 at ulta today (before tax), and without coupons and sales all of this would have costed me about $28 (that's about a 63% savings!). 

TRAVEL MAKEUP BAG

I'm Away this week so i thought i'd share what makeup i brOught with me. i typically like to keep my makeup bag light and just filled with the "NECESSITATES". i just need myself to look alive and presentable, not full on glam. 

PRODUCTS I'VE USED UP #1

within the last week i have finished a lot of beauty products. is it just me or if one product runs out, they all do? anyways, lets get into the nitty gritty….

FEBRUARY BEAUTY FAVORITES

This month i didn't allow myself to buy any more beauty products, because lets admit it, i have too much. I also have too many products that i haven't even opened. so instead i have been shopping my stash and i have discovered amazing new goodies. 

TOP PLACES TO VISIT IN LONDON FROM AN EX-LONDONER

have you ever been somewhere and felt like you belonged? like you felt like this place just screams everything you are about? for me, that place is london. Since i was only lived in london a year, i took full advantage of what it's like to be a londoner and visited anywhere and everywhere. Though out of all of the places i had been, there were a few that i constantly kept going back too. THEY WERE ALSO PLACES THAT I TOOK MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY TOO SO THEY COULD GET THE "REAL" LONDON EXPERIENCE. 

REVIEW | IT COSMETICS BRUSHES FOR ULTA

as you all probably know, it cosmetics has a line of brushes available in ulta. i have been throughly impressed by all of their makeup products that i have tried, and as soon as i felt their brushes in ulta i knew that i had to give them a go. to venture into the it cosmetics brush realm, i picked up the your beautiful basics AIRBRUSH 101 set ($58 at ulta only) and (SPOILER alert!) i have been using them every day since.

FEBRUARY LUSt WORTHY ITEMS

Once a month i am going to be doing a Lust worthy items post. these are items that i am currently obsessing over and can't wait to get my hands on!

1. Daniel wellington classic SHEFFIELD lady watch $199- i have had my eye on this watch for probably over a year now and for some reason i still have not gotten it. it's so sleek, simple and kind of boyish, which is why i love it. all of the watches i own have metal bands and this would be the perfect addition. 

REVIEW | KORRES GREEK YOGHURT NOURISHING PRIMER

behind the quest to find the perfect drugstore red lipstick was the quest to find the perfect nourishing face primer. silicone primers have never really done it for me as i feel like they are quite drying for my normal to dry skin. though Frankly, i just don't like the feeling on my skin. i perfer to feel like i don't have makeup on and i can never get around the makeup feeling when i have a silicone primer on. plus when you have skin that is on the drier side any extra bit of MOISTURE you can get you take. 

REVIEW | KATE 01- BEST RED DRUGSTORE LIPSTICK FOR FAIR SKIN

On a never ending quest to find the perfect drugstore red lipstick for my peaches and cream skin (as my grandmother would say), I have finally found the one! Behold Rimmel Lasting finish by kate moss in 01. while this lipstick is not new and has been on the beauty bloggers top list since it came out, it just recently tried it and have been blown away by the formula and how great it looks on my fair skin.
