KadyDidIt

My plan came through and I was very lucky to receive Sephora giftcards from my family members for Christmas this year. So, what did I do? I ran to the mall the day after Christmas to start my shopping. There were a few things I had in mind that I knew I wanted/needed, but this was my chance to get some things I might not have gotten if it wasn't for the giftcards. 

I've shopped my collection this week and I wanted to share with you guys a few of my newer picks. 

Am I the only one who craves makeup for my birthday and Christmas? Ha, who am I kidding? Obviously we all do or we wouldn't be here right? Now, this year I've strategically asked all of my family to give me Sephora gift cards hoping that it works out in my favor and I'll get to go a little crazy. I don't like to go bat shit crazy in there often because I can't justify it, but with gift cards, I have to go a little buckwild right? So, with all of that said, who are the few things I'm looking forward too...

It's been a while since I've done a face of the day post, so I decided I would grave you all with my information! I enjoy seeing peoples daily picks, and a few of these items have quickly made there way to my every day choices. 

This is another tag that I have been watching on YouTube for a while now, and I'm not sure who created this one, but it's interesting. I am going to share which high end makeup items feel worth it to me. If I could have an unlimited amount of money to purchase one item for every category, what would I choose. Here we go:             Foundation: Hands down, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation. I believe this retails for $42, and it really is worth it. Wonderful coverage.       Concealer: Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer which retails for $28. This stuff doesn't compare to any other product I have ever tried. Very worth the splurge.  Powder: My favorite powder changes every so often, my skin is so oily I have to keep tryin new things. The MAC Studio Fix is my favorite at the moment and it is $29.       Bronzer: As you might be able to tell, I love Nars Cosmetics, but some products there prices are just too much for wha...

I was once again convinced to buy a product by YouTube. Its gotten kind of crazy at this point. Just kidding! This is what I do and what I love, and where would offer any ideas if it wasn't for YouTube or blogs? This particular item was a purchase because of Jaclyn Hill, it was something I had never tried and needed to give it a shot.  I'm a big fan of contour! I have a round face, so for me it's a necessity. This product is designed to give you a sharp contour and in my opinion "make a statement.  This brush is square and flat. From my research, I realized that NO ONE makes a brush like this! Really, it's a genius idea and I can't believe more brands haven't caught on. Maybe they have a copyright or something?  The price on this brush varies and it is pretty hard to find. I believe you can purchase this from Nordstrom.com, for about $39. Also, you can find this item on eBay. I think this brush is very unique, and I'm very glad I was able to find it. Is...

I know you probably hear this all of the time, but June flew by! That's probably because I have a vacation coming up at the end of July that I'm trying to save money for, and time is flying! This month I didn't really experiment much with my normal day to day face makeup. I just wasn't feeling adventurous, and to top that off it's over 100 degrees where I live most days, and the humidity is outrageous! So...when I find something that's working and not making me look like an oily mess, I try to stick to that for a while and hope for the best during my long days. Now, speaking of not being an oily mess, I have found my holy grail setting powder. I don't know why it took me so long to give this product a try. Especially considering it's $3! The Rimmel Stay Matte Powder is absolutely wonderful. I have never tried anything that compares to this powder. I was a firm believer in MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural, and this is better! On the packaging, this...

As I talked about in my previous post, I do have a full time job which is an office job. This means that I can't get too crazy with my makeup each day. Although, even on my off days I'm still a neutrals kind of girl. For my foundation, my all time holy grail product, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation in B20. I do have fairly oily skin, but this foundation still works wonders for me. This foundation is usually targeted for dry to normal skin, but this still does a wonderful job for my skin type. This is not a full coverage foundation, but with a setting powder and a little under eye concealer, it is one of my all time favorites for day to day. My favorite concealer at the moment, Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in number 2 Vanilla. This concealer is completely worth the hype. I mostly use this as an under eye concealer and it does not settle in any fine lines and it stays put all day! My bronzer is from the new MAC Temperature Rising Collection in color Soft Sand. I previo...
