The Met
One of the highlights of my trip was getting to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, we were only able to visit a portion of this magnificent museum but it was well worth the time we spent there.

Roaming Through Central Park
Central Park
I had the opportunity to explore Central Park two different days, the first day was for a short time and on a gloomy day but the second trip was the most beautiful day to explore. Central Park is one of the most beautiful places I have been able to visit. If I lived in New York City I would spend all my spare time here.

New York City Day 2
New York City Day 2
Our second trip into the big city was on a dim and gloomy day. We had a large group (about 12 of us) and a lot we all wanted to see so we hopped on an early morning train and set out to see the city. Some of my favorite memories from our trip were from our train rides! Our conductors seemed to be comedians and kept us laughing for most of our commute.

New York Day 1
My first venture in NYC was spent roaming through Chelsea and the West Village with a couple girlfriends Ashley and Macale. Ashley has a blog over at Suburban Chic and will be posting about our trip too! We decided ahead of time that this day would be our opportunity to do some things we knew the boys wouldn't be interested in. This basically translates to a day of shopping and other girly adventures.

Ballston Spa and Saratoga Springs New York
A Relaxing Vacation
As you may or may not know I recently went on vacation, we headed up to New York for our friends Cody and Corey’s Wedding. The boyfriend and I decided to make it a long trip and arrived in Ballston spa NY for the first half of our vacation. I was eager to see all that the area had to offer (you can check out my list of things to see and do I posted about before we left). Most of my days were spent checking out the parks and around Ballston spa and Saratoga while the boys played golf at Saratoga National. The area was seriously beautiful filled with tons of trees and greenery and adorable shops and restaurants around town. Keep reading if you want to see more of the first half of my trip.

Bobbi Brown Nude Basics
Bobbi Brown Nude Basics
Right before I left for vacation this special edition set of beauty basics from Bobbi Brown came up on QVC for a today’s special value. Bobbi Brown only has 1 TSV a year on QVC so I was pretty happy that I saw it! I have always wanted to try out some Bobbi Brown products but just haven’t yet. I figured what better way than a value set that has a range of her products for a great price!
Bobbi Brown started out as a freelance makeup artist and hit it big in the early 90’s with her line of lipsticks. Her brand has grown through the years and I really love her company’s philosophy that “women want to look and feel like themselves, only prettier and more confident." She has become synonymous with natural beautiful make up and several of her products are cult beauty classics.
I haven’t had a chance to play with this set yet as It came in right when I went on vacation, but I wanted to share all the goodies that came with it and let you know that it is still available at special price right now ( $87.96 to be exact) if any of you might be interested. This is an exclusive to QVC kit so you can only get it HERE.
This kit includes the following
Palette with one 0.29-oz eye shadow each in Ivory, a creamy white shade; Hot Stone, a medium ashy brown shade; Graphite Sparkle, a cool beige sparkle shade; Naked, a warm nude shade; Opal Sparkle, a pale silver sparkle shade; and Rich Caviar, a rich brown black shade
Dual-ended brush 
0.15-oz Face Touch-Up Palette in Porcelain, Sand, Beige, Natural, Honey, or Warm Almond
0.24-oz High Shimmer Lip Gloss in Pink Sparkle, a shimmering mid-tone pink shade
0.045-oz Long-Wear Eye Pencil in Black Chocolate, a dark brown shade
0.13-oz Pot Rouge in Katie, a soft pinky rose

John Frieda Colour Refreshing Gloss
Colour Refreshing Gloss
I am finally home from vacation, I will be returning to my regular schedule of posting Monday – Friday! I will be editing and uploading pictures for the next couple of days and will be writing several posts over the next week or so with all the details from the trip so make sure to look for those.
Before I left for New York I did some last minute shopping at Ulta. One of the main things I wanted to pick up was a hair gloss. You see it has been forever (8 months to be exact) since I have taken a seat in my hairdressers chair. I usually go two to three times a year since I have been growing my hair out. For some reason I have been so crazy busy and haven’t had the time to get a proper cut and color. My hair has definitely suffered the consequences and will be getting the much needed attention fairly soon.
I wanted to have shiny locks by vacation but just didn’t have the time to get into the salon. I decided that a quick fix would be picking up an at home hair gloss. I originally wanted a clear gloss just to boost the softness and shine of my hair but quickly realized that I didn’t have many options while I was at the store. I settled on this bottle of John Frieda Colour Refreshing Gloss in cool Brunette. The directions say to apply this after shampoo and conditioner in the shower. You are to let it set for at least 3 minutes then wash out with water. This is a once a week treatment to help boost color and shine in-between salon visits as opposed to the one time use variety.
I really wasn’t sure how this was going to work for me I was just praying it wouldn’t make my hair worse. After using I was pleasantly surprised to find my hair had a little boost of color and shine. My hair was left feeling silky smooth and I was a happy camper. I decided not to take the bottle with me while traveling and was really able to test out the longevity of this product. The effects of the gloss lasted me nearly a week but sadly dulled part way through my trip. I was really hoping this would have lasted longer but considering the directions was to use once a week I should have expected this.
This is definitely a nice product to use in-between coloring to boost your hairs shine but remember you will need to use it at least once a week to keep up the results. It's pretty affordable aswell priced at 12.99.If you are looking for more permanent shine you are better off looking into other hair gloss formulas whether from the grocery store or at your favorite salon.

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm, Lacquer Balm, and Balm Stain
ColorBurst Balms: Matte, Lacquer, and Stain
Something that I noticed with all of these was the amazingly rich texture and high pigmentation. They also all have a hint of mint in them that adds a nice refreshing feel to the lips. These are a far cry from the original balms released years ago (in the best way possible of course).
The original line of Balm stains from Revlon has been around for a while. I remember trying out their just bitten line when they first came out and really hating it. The color payoff was terrible and they were not moisturizing in the least. Which In a balm I would think moisture would be a key factor. Years later (present day) Revlon released these ColorBurst Matte Balms and Lacquer Balms that have been receiving so much hype all over the beauty blogosphere.
On my most recent trip to Ulta I caved and decided to give these new pretties a go (I even picked one up in the original balm stain). I picked up the Balm Stain in Crush, the Matte Balm in Unapologetic, and the Lacquer Balm in coquette.

{Stain:Crush, Lacquer:Coquette, Matte:Unapologetic}
Balm Stain: I decided to go for a deeper berry color when choosing the shade Crush. I really like this type of crayon style lip color it makes for super easy application (this goes for all 3 in the ColorBurst line)! The style definitely has longer staying power since these actually stain the skin when the balm wears away you are still left with tinted lips. I like the idea of this as it makes for touch ups less frequently.

Lacquer Balms: These are the super high shine which I really love for a fun night out. The only thing that isn’t my favorite about the Lacquer line is the glitter in them. I instantly fell in love with the color Coquette. A beautiful bright Barbie pink is perfect to compliment tanned skin in the summer.
Matte Balms: The matte balms have received most of the fanfare among beauty gurus. Matte lips have been a popular trend for a while now and it is quite hard to find a formula that isn’t drying on the lips (nothing is worse than cracked lips with matte lipstick on top). I have to say these are my favorite out of the bunch. They are so moisturizing and glide so effortlessly over the lips leaving them with the perfect velvety matte finish. I picked this one up in the color unapologetic and it such a fun bold color I can’t wait to wear this all the time.

My Most Repurchased Makeup Products
The real proof of how much someone loves a product is if they re-purchase it over and over again. I thought I would dig out my most repurchased products and share them with you. These are my staples that I always have in my make up bin ready to be used at a moments notice! What are your most repurchased products? Leave me a comment!
1. Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation – I have been using the whipped formula for a couple years now but had been using the original formula for oily skin for as long as I can remember. This is such a great foundation and is extremely affordable and accessible. I always have a bottle of this because I know it won’t fail me no matter what I will be doing. This gives a flawless full coverage face that lasts FOREVER.
2. NYX Set It Don't Fret It Matte Finishing Powder - I always have to set my foundation. I tend to go back and forth with using a pressed powder and a loose powder. When I am using a loose powder this one from NYX is my favorite. It keeps my foundation set all day and has the perfect matte finish.
3. ELF Shine Eraser –being an oily skinned girl means I have several tricks up my sleeve to help battle that extra shiny t-zone. These are my secret weapon; I always have a few packs of these lying around my purse/home/car. A quick dab of these across my t-zone and I am back to my shine-free face.
4. Too-faced Shadow Insurance - I am just going to go ahead and say it, this is the best eye primer out there. I know… I know… there are several other contenders but in my eyes this is the best. I have been using this as my eye primer for the last 6+ years. I have strayed a few times but this one keeps me coming back. This primer keeps my shadow locked in place for ages (I’m talking sleep in my eye make-up and not need to touch it up staying power).
5. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer – A little over a year ago I was in a pinch at the grocery store, needing a concealer to get me through until I could go out and get my normal one. I decided this would be as good an option as any. Boy am I glad I discovered this gem! An affordable option that covers and blends so beautifully. This has been a staple ever since!
6. Tarte BB Tinted Primer Treatment – I just did a full review of this product last week so you can check that out here. I am in love with this primer and have been using it for almost a year now!
7. Studio Gear Prime Objective– a long time ago I had been on the hunt for the perfect primer that would keep my makeup lasting all day but wasn’t so slippery that I felt my makeup would slide right off. Naturally I went to my local Ulta store to check out my avaliable selection, and one of the sales ladies recommended this product. I had never heard a whole lot about studio gear (and still don’t to be honest) but this is such a great primer. This is the perfect non tinted primer that keeps my makeup in place all day. I used this religiously before I picked of the tarte BB primer above. I still use this on occasion when I want a lighter coverage look.
8. Lorac Tantalizer – This is the best product for an instant bronze. Using this makes me feel ok with whipping out my summer shorts again. You can check out my full review I did a while back here. I literally just picked up a new bottle of this yesterday (a girl has to be ready for vacation right?).

Jouer Age-Repairing Brightener
Jouer Age-Repairing Brightener
This brightener is packed with vitamins to moisturize the delicate under eye skin. The formula is meant to help increase skins immunity from everyday environments while helping to reduce the appearance of dark circles.
I feel like the coverage isn’t bad but I have definitely used higher coverage products but none that gave off such a brightening effect like this one. Paired with a correcting product I find this works wonders and really brightens the under eye area. Lately I have been sleep deprived and as a result have had majorly dull and dark looking under eyes. Using this gives me that just woke up from an amazing night’s sleep look.
This retails for 32 dollars but I got it for 20 dollars during Gilts sale. I honestly don’t think I would have picked this up for full price but at discount this was a great purchase. Have you ever tried anything from Jouer before?
A couple of weeks ago Gilt had a special sale on Luxury beauty products. Naturally I had to take the chance to get some higher end products at a fraction of the price. Jouer had a whole slew of products in the sale but the Age Repairing Brightener really peaked my interest. I have only tried one other product from Jouer, a lip-gloss that came inside a birchbox I received years ago. I really loved the lip-gloss so I had confidence in the brand and buying a product without seeing it in person first.
This brightener is packed with vitamins to moisturize the delicate under eye skin. The formula is meant to help increase skins immunity from everyday environments while helping to reduce the appearance of dark circles.
This is definitely a luxurious feeling product from the packaging to the formulation. The packaging is heavy and made of metal that is easy to wipe clean when needed. The formulation is a very creamy texture that glides easily under the eyes and blends like a dream. My skin is left feeling very hydrated. This gives a brightening effect under the eye with tiny light reflecting particles.

April Favorites
April Favorites
Spring was finally in full effect during April, obviously this warmer weather called for tanner skin, lots of bronzer and brighter blushes. I found a lot of great new products and rediscovered some oldies too! Keep reading to find out what products I used most in April.
Tarte airblush maracuja blush in Shimmering Pink- This has been stashed away for some time now, I picked it up about a year ago and used it non-stop for an entire summer. It's highly pigmented blue undertoned bright pink. The formulation although a crème blends out easily and doesn't feel heavy. The one down side that you can obviously see in this picture is that little brush hairs get stuck all in it.
The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer - I have had this highlighter for a few years and pretty much use it everyday as my inner eye highlight shade. This product has a huge following because it the most beautifull shade! If you are interested on a full review of this product let me know in the comments!
Million Dollar Tan Cabana Tan- Warmer weather means bare legs so with that I have been hitting up this amazing self-tanner more regularly. Check out my full review here.
Glow Blush in Peach Bellini: A Beautiful peach toned blush that I have been wearing non-stop. This came in my April Julep Maven box so you can check out the full review here.
bareMinerals READY Bronzer - I was in desperate need of a new bronzer and this one was a great purchase. A little darker than my normal bronzer but with my self-tanning use in high gear this has been working amazing. You can check out my full review here.

Michael Todd Charcoal Cleanser & Organic Lemon Toner - I decided to try out the Michael Todd skin care line a little over a month ago and I am so glad I did because his products are truly amazing. These two are my favorites and they have really helped clear my skin up. You can check out my current skincare routine featuring his products here and here.
Glow Blush in Peach Bellini: A Beautiful peach toned blush that I have been wearing non-stop. This came in my April Julep Maven box so you can check out the full review here.

bareMinerals READY Bronzer - I was in desperate need of a new bronzer and this one was a great purchase. A little darker than my normal bronzer but with my self-tanning use in high gear this has been working amazing. You can check out my full review here.
