- Lindi Lip Balm I didn’t expect anything great out of this balm. I’m not really sure why. For some reason when a lip balm is “high end” I shrug it off (you’d think I would have learned my lesson from the Fresh balms–hello, heaven). This stuff is fan-freaking-tastic.
- L’oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream I’ve used this BB cream on and off for years. But since I’ve been working out of the house again, I’ve been reaching for it daily. It provides enough coverage to make my skin look nice but not so much coverage that it seems like I’m wearing a ton of makeup.
- Wet ‘n Wild Single Shadow in Nutty I eyed this for a long time before I bought it (don’t ask me why I didn’t just grab it the first time I saw it…it’s $0.99 for crying out loud). I’ve been reaching for this every single day. It’s a perfect iridescent shade that provides dimension with just one shadow depending on where you blend it.
- Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso Literally every single day for the last two months. Can’t stop won’t stop.
- L’oreal Infallible Shadow in Iced Latte I’ve been using this in partner with pretty much any shadow I’m reaching for (lately, Nutty). I pop a little of this in the center of the lid and in the inner corner. Love.
Non Beauty Favorites:
- HIMYM. I’m a FRIENDS girl through and through, but this sitcom has such a warm place in my heart. J and I started the series together when we first got married–and since then I’ve seen most of the episodes twice or more. But lately, it’s been my go-to “unwind” or mindless show to have on.
- Fitbit. If you’re my friend on Fitbit, you know my new job has been kicking some fitbit butt! I’ve fallen in love with it all over again in the last couple months. I especially like that it makes me feel less grumpy about having to go up/down 2 flights of stairs from our apartment and having to take B-dog out for potty breaks.
- Tyber Creek Pub. If you’re in the Charlotte area–this was my favorite eat this month. I got the steak sandwich and it was awesome. Seriously. I get the steak sandwich pretty much everywhere we go, and this was the best one I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was genuinely Irish, and the staff was great. Oh. And it’s walking distance from our house.
I've heard such great things about the milani blush – trying that next 🙂 xo, Biana – BlovedBoston
Yess to that blush- it's so pretty! I want to try other ones from the line but whenever I'm somewhere with Milani there's never any product left 🙁 The infallible shadows are so pretty!
I'd love to try that :L'Oreal BB but I'm so afraid to rematch myself to another company's colors! I'm like "Oh God no! I look like a bad cheetoh or holy mackeral I'm a ghost." HIMYM…..I cried when it was over. Cried big, fat, huge, alligator tears. Great show. I haven't found a replacement.
I don't understand what the point of using BB or CC cream is lol. Anyway… thanks for sharing your reviews, all of that make up sounds nice!! 🙂
I love that shadow!!!
I love HIMYM too, hated when it ended. I've been using Iced Mocha a lot lately, love it!
Today I realized the only place serving food walking distance from my house is McDonald's. Womp womp.
I need to fall back in love with my fitbit! I've been slacking so bad I don't even open the app anymore. Glad it's helping you!
Every time I try to pick up Luminoso, it's sold out! I've heard such great things about it. I'm still on the hunt!
Great picks, btw.
Let's connect on FitBit! https://www.fitbit.com/user/2Z55T3
I am FitBit-obsessed… seriously…
There's nothing worse than shelling out money for a high end lip balm that does nothing. For instance, I love Bite Beauty lip stuff…but their agave lip mask? Does absolutely nothing for me. I bought a sample size of it before shelling out the big bucks for a full size thing, and I'm glad I did, because…yeah. I can get the same results with Carmex basically, haha.
I love love love that BB cream!! I wear it everyday!! I need to get better about my FitBit — I've got one, but don't really wear it, because it makes me feel guilty!
Ok, honestly, I hear so much great stuff about Milani products, but I can NEVER find them! I've heard that they're at CVS or Walgreens, but I never see them there. What am I missing here?! That blush looks so pretty!

I seriously need to try Milani products, I hear so many good things about them! HIMYM, LOVE! I think Adam and I are about to the point to want to start watching it again!
I love Loreal BB cream. I wear it every day under my foundation, and on the weekends sometimes it is the only thing I wear besides some mascara. I love Milani's lip stuff and I have been wanting to try their blush, I think you convinced me!! Have you tried Rimmel's matte BB cream? Love love love HIMYM! We watch reruns of it all the time.
The Milani blush is my absolute favorite! I picked it up when I was home last summer and I STILL use it all the time! Would you believe that I was on the hunt for BB cream here and all the L'Oreal ones they had were $20 FREAKING bucks?! Yeah, no thanks. I'll just wait to get home and then stock up for the next 2 years, haha.
I've been looking for a shimmery shadow but my last purchase was a flop. Trying that Loreal Infallible next!
Ok I really like that iced latte color. And HIMYM, I loved that show so much. So glad you're liking it.
Yay for FitBit and staying active!
You've chosen such nice products but basically none are available in the UK! Sad times. Why do we only get the weirdy eyeshadow shades from the Infallible range? And no Wet 'n Wild or Milani. But yay for good eating places a walking distance from your house – this is quite a new thing for us too and it's amazing. Not so amazing for the wallet but never mind! At least it gets your steps up!

Can't go wrong with a 99 cent beauty product! 🙂 LOVE HIMYM! I miss it!
I really want to get the new fitbit with the HR monitor! I think that would totally bring out the competitive side in me and force me to really get those workouts in!
I love Milani products, I just wish they were sold in more places. Around here I can only find it at CVS. That color is pretty, so warm!!!
So going to get the Milani blush. 🙂 And HIMYM is a fun show, nothing compared to FRIENDS but still fabulous. 😉
