Weekly Favorites & Fails 2.6.15 MAC, Cle De Peau, The Body Shop, 50 Shades of Gray, Sony & MORE!


Now that it's February and my Best of 2014 Makeup Products Series has wrapped up on my channel, I can get back on track with our regularly scheduled programing. This week's favorites focuses on basics and enjoyment.


I get sent a lot of products to test out and review, but very few actually make it to my review list and even fewer make it in my favorites. This body butter whips from Lashea is one of a kind and my new favorite body moisturizer.

The consistency is like a whipped cream that dissolves into an oil when rubbing in with your hands. All the ingredients are basic, you can actually read and understand what is in your product.

The sent of lavender is not over powering, it's very fresh and not offensive at all. I love supporting smaller brands and companies and when I reach out to them, the owner offered my views and readers a generous 20% off your purchase. Shop HERE use DYH20 at checkout the code is good till 3/14/15. 

I'm a huge fan of Sally Hansen and my favorite formula is the Xtreame wear polishes. They are so affordable and last a long time on my nails. Recently in my latest trip to the drugstore I picked up Fan Appeal and I've been loving the deep metallic purple shade.



The Body Shop Honey Bronzer has made it into my everyday rotation of makeup. This bronzer is very natural and gives the most flawless natural finish. The shade range is perfect for fair to medium skin tones. I like to apply this bronzer with a fluffy blush brush or duo fiber brush in a "3" on either side of my face to warm up and add depth.


Since the holidays I've been loving the Skinfood Black Sugar Honey Wash Off Mask. This mask is hydrating, exfoliating, and detoxifying. In the winter time my skin can get dry and irritated, this mask is able to brighten and detox my skin without any irritation.

The honey is anti bacterial and the black sugar is a gentle exfoliant.


If you watch my vlog channel where I eat, play with my dogs, and wonder around LA/OC or just sit at home a lot, you would have seen a sudden quality upgrade, it's thanks to this baby. After months of drooling and research, I finally purchased the Sony a5000. It's a perfect on the go camera for high quality instagram photos, vlogging, and capturing life.

The main reason I decided to get the camera was for Europe. My husband and I will be visiting Europe in the spring, I wanted to be able to take good quality photos and vlog without having to lug around a DSLR and a point and shoot. This had all the qualities I was looking for and is currently at its' lowest price HERE.


The camera has interchange lenses, Wi-Fi, selfie flip up screen, auto focus, amazing built in features.


I've also been loving my MAC Pro Long Wear Concealer in the shade NC 20 and my Cle De Peau Concealer in Beige. I talk more in-depth on both these products in my video here


Watch my weekly favorites video to see me talk about 50 Shades of Gray  and The Bar Method, my new favorite way to get in shape. 

What have you been loving this past week? Let me know what I should try out.

XOXO
