Makeup Mondays!!

 

Welcome back Beauties!!  I L-O-V-E Makeup Mondays!!  And today I'm sharing with you some of my favorite eyeshadows...if you, like me, like glitter, then these babies are a MUST HAVE!

 

These eyeshadows are classified as "Glitter Eye Top Coat" and that just makes them sound even more beautiful, right?!?  These are the Ulta Glitter Eye Top Coat Glitter Eye Shadows...WHEWWW!!!  A mouthful, I know, but they are totes worth it!!

Price point is $8.00 a piece OR 2 for $8.00 - there are 8 different shades to choose from and I believe I have all but one...maybe?  Haha ;)) The shadow shades shown above are:  Deep End (teal shade), Bronze Bombshell (bronze shade), Fairy Princess (light beige shade).

 

My opinions on this product:  These are extremely pigmented shadows, that are best applied using your finger.  I will pat these shadows on my lid to give it glittery gorgeousness!!  There IS fallout, however I do not mind with glitter :))

 

I absolutely LOVE these shadows and I feel they are a MUST in your makeup collection - especially if you are a glitter lover, like myself!  They are affordable and extremely gorgeous.  I cannot say enough good things about them!!

 

I hope you enjoyed this post and stay tuned for more beauties I can't wait to share!

 

Remember to always leave a trail of glitter ;))

 

Until next time, take care!

Beauty Tip Thursday!

Welcome back Beauties!!

 

Today's post is all about sharing Beauty tips.  One in particular is talking about cream products - whether it is a cream eyeshadow, cream foundation, cream bronzer, etc...

 

Using a cream product as a BASE will help set any powder you may place on top OR they are great to use if you have dry skin, as I do.

 

I use them as a base and will place a powder on top, which also helps create an intense color payoff. 

 

ANOTHER great idea for a contour is to use a deep, dark foundation and blend, blend, BLEND!!  A great product to try for this little trick is pictured below (Maybelline Fit Me stick foundation), AND it can be found in your local drug store ;))

I hope you found this little tip helpful, and let me know what you think!  Have you tried this trick?  What products do YOU use??

 

Remember to always leave a trail of glitter ;))

 

Until next time, take care!

**NEW** Maybelline Baby Lips LIMITED EDITION Pinked!!! (PHOTO HEAVY)

Welcome back, Beauties!!  You'll have to excuse my excitement for this post in advance ;)) with that said, herrre we go!!!  And, THANK YOU to Maybelline for these adorable babies!?!

 

OhMyGosh!?! RUN, SPRINT, do whatever you have to to get yourself to your nearest Bed Bath and Beyond to grab these for yourself!!  That is where I found mine, and just so you know there are 5 in this collection and yes, they ARE limited edition and I'm beyond sure that they'll sell out fast!!

Below I will feature pics showing the product in their original packaging...

The price point on these were $3.40 each and if you can find them BOGO, which they were not at BB&B, then that's a SCORE for you!! ;))

 

Now I will include pics featuring the product with swatches of each color...

Shade: 110 - Pop of Pink (a bubblegum-pink)

Shade: 120 - Rose Rush (an orange-pink)

Shade:  115 - Mad for Magenta (a LIGHT bright pink)

 

Shade: 105 - Blush Burst (a light baby-pink)

Shade: 125 - Very Berry (a purple-pink)

The smell of these are amazing - they have a fun, fruity scent to them, which are similar to the original Baby Lips, however this set all have a pink-tone to them.  Of course, being that PINK is my favorite color, I was all over these. 

 

They are also very moisturizing, which is definitely a plus for me, since I have to have a balm on my lips at all times, this is a 2-fer - a 2 for 1 kind of deal - I get the moisturizer of a balm and the color of a lipstick/gloss!  WIN/WIN!!

 

I hope if your searching for these, you are able to find them and that you love them as much as I do!!

Happy Shopping!!

Hairspray Perfection! Raves and Reviews on Aussie & NEW L'Oreal sprays and hairspray.

Welcome back Beauties!  I wanted to share with you my NEW hairspray combo I am loving and hope and pray, *fingers crossed*, this stuff is never discontinued!!

First item being mentioned is my one-and-only go-to Aussie Instant Freeze Hairspray.  This is an EXTREME HOLD spray with the caption on the bottle reading:  "Freezes your style in its tracks".  #TRUTH Ha-ha, I am a short-haired gal, and if I'm going to be using hairspray on the 'do, I want something that will basically paste my hair in place.  I don't want it moving around, blowing in the breeze...nuh-uhh - none of dat.  Maybe if I had longer hair, my taste in hairspray might be different.

 

The hairspray promises the following:  "This is a strong, quick hold that'll give you the chills.  Instant Freeze Hairspray Extreme Hold sets up your look fast and fixes it in place.  Brrrace yourself."  OK - a tad dramatic ;)) but YES it does set FAST and is an EXTREME HOLD!!  So, the crunchiness is a definite with this hairspray so if you don't like that, then this isn't for you.  But if you're a gal like me that wants that MASSIVELY STRONG hold, give this a try!  Plus the smell is divine too ;))

 

Next and NEWEST RAVED item is my L'Oreal BOOST IT High Lift Creation Spray.  This is a STRONG HOLD Back Combing Finisher spray with the caption on the bottle reading:  "Instant Lift + Fullness".  Again, #TRUTH!!  I love my hair to be B-I-G and this is, dare I say, EVEN BETTER than my tried and true Schwarzkopf got2b POWDER'ful Volumizing Styling Powder.  Love that stuff, no doubt, but this L'Oreal spray is bomb.com.

 

The spray promises the following:  "Our high-performance finishing tool now at your fingertips.  Get targeted root application with out unique fan spray for instant lift and fullness and a modern back combing effect.  Strong hold boosts body on any style for a voluptuous, textured look that lasts."  FURTHER - "Advanced Formula; Fibralock Tech - boosts style endurance; a workable, holding matric that locks style strand by strand; instant lift + fullness; strong hold; back combing finisher; heat protection."  PHEW!!  After all that is said and done, and fancy wording aside, this stuff is the best thing created next to sliced bread.  It does the job, INSTANTLY and I will continue to rave and rave about this spray!!  Again, smells good too!

 

Now, if you're a helmet head lover like myself (HA!! I joke) but seriously if you love good volume, try the L'Oreal spray and if you love a good, strong hold from a hairspray then give this Aussie hairspray a go!!  Both can be found any drugstore, Wal-Mart, Target, Ulta, grocery store even...

 

Thanks for reading and until next time, take care!!

GlitterBee Feature: Freckle Fox Boutique

Welcome back Beauties! Today I am sharing information and some items from one of my FAVORITE online boutiques, Freckle Fox Boutique.  My girl, Shannon, aka Ms. Fox herself ;)) is one of the absolute sweetest Ladies I have come to know and the girl has got some fabulous glittery taste!!  Haha, really though...she does ;))

One of the items I purchased was one of the key chains - mine is the lips monogrammed key chain.  There are SO many other designs you can choose from to create your very own key chain, personalize it with your own monogram :))  I am becoming obsessed with monograms, and that's what this boutique specializes in:  GLITTERED monograms.  Did I say GLITTER, because Freckle Fox makes GLITTER monograms...ahhh, she had me at GLITTER and MONOGRAM!!  Haha ;))

 

Another item(s) I ordered was this zebra print set that comes with a zebra print sports bra, and a pair of zebra print running shorts, BOTH of which have the Freckle Fox one of a kind glitter monogram!  You can choose from an assortment of colors for the monogram, and clothing!

 

Items you can purchase range from key chains (mentioned above) to koozies, coffee mugs, to clothing!!  You can get hoodies or tshirts, shorts or even pants to add to your fabulous monogram collection!  Another new collection they are offering are for those working on their fitness, or those simply wanting to look Foxie ;)) it's their Foxie Fitness collection, and each piece is unique.

 

PLEASE make sure you check out this fabulous boutique and look to get your own piece of glittery goodness!!

 

Until next time, take care, and remember to always leave a trail of glitter.

Champagne for Breakfast!

 

 

 

 

Welcome back Beauties!  I saw this fantastic sweatshirt from Charlotte Russe on Instagram and thought it would be great to create an OOTD showcasing my own taste and style!  Being a Mom, I like fabulous pieces but throwing a casual feel with it.  I'm also a Southern Gal who loves her Keds, and these matched PERFECTLY with this sweatshirt!  In some light the sweatshirt looks more aqua blue, in other light it comes off more like a Tiffany blue, which is a blue I need in my life! 

 

The dark wash denim I paired with this top I found at Wal-mart, and they were under $15!  They're super comfortable and stretchy which, again, for a Mom on the go, is a PLUS!  They're more like jeggings, and I have them in 3 washes - Light wash, Dark wash, and Black.  All of which, are necessities! (in my book)

 

My bag is from JustFab, however it is no longer available.  If you are not a member of JustFab, try it!!  It's FREE to join, and when you sign up, you fill out a style profile which is how your options are chosen each month!  You can skip a month, if you wish, however you can also purchase at any time!  Majority of the items are $39.95, however they have more "luxury" items, which can differ in price.  You have until the 5th of each month to skip and opt out of making a purchase.  If you don't, you are charged $39.95, and you receive a credit, which you can use to choose an item at a later date!  Easy peasy!

 

AAAND if things couldn't get better ;)) my shoes have glittery shoe-strings!! EEE!!  Ha-ha

 

I hope you enjoyed this OOTD!!  Stay tuned for more outfit features!

 

Take care, and until next time, remember to leave a trail of glitter!

DUPE ALERT!!

 

Hello Beauties! Welcome back!  I am here today with a dupe for you to entertain...it's a very unique color choice, but I love it!  I am mentioning NYX Matte lipstick in the shade Butter, which I feel is a dupe for MAC Divine Nite lipstick collection in the shade Exclusive Event.  Btw, some people think Butter is a dupe for MAC HoneyLove - YOU be the judge!!

Again, these are very unique shades and out of the ordinary, I feel, but I do love them both!  I didn't get my hands on the MAC lipstick, however keep checking in to see if it's in stock or not (NOT) and when I saw a video from MakeupByLeinaBaaaby featuring NYX, I HAD to locate this color!!  She showed swatches from the NYX Matte lipstick line and Butter was one of the shades...and I loved it!!  Btw, she's gorgeous so you should check her out!!

To describe the shade - it's a taupe brown, which looks darker in person than when you search it online.  In person it looks more like MAC Exclusive Event does looking at in online.  NYX Matte lipstick in Butter is, of course, a Matte finish - but I feel they're not drying like a usual MATTE.  I feel there is a bit of a sheen to them, which helps with dryness.  I, personally, do not mind a true matte lipstick, however if you don't truly care for them b/c of the dryness, the NYX Matte lipstick line would be a good option to try!  Color payoff is great and the price is great, as well!

 

Happy shopping!

 

Until next time, take care!

FABULOUS FRIDAY!! Pink and Rose Gold armcandy.

Watch: Target (the brand is Xhilaration); Pearl bracelet: Target (sold as a 3 pack - each different sizes; Gold/Rose Gold triple bracelet stack; Target (I believe - this is old; have had it for a while); Rose gold chain link bracelet: Forever 21

 

Hello Beauties!  Welcome back, and HAPPY FRIDAY to you all!  I hope that you've had a fabulous week so far, as this one comes to an end.  Some will be enjoying a long weekend this weekend, with the MLK Holiday...I wanted to share the details of this arm stack that I shared on my social media earlier today. 

 

I put a preppy twist on this look by adding the pearl stranded bracelet, but I love the look!  I love the glittery pink face on this watch - which I found on an end-cap in Target, in the jewelry dept.  The brand of it is their Xhilaration line, in the pink and white box.  It does have additional links you may take out (or leave) for sizing purposes.

 

The pearl bracelet, as mentioned above) came as a 3 pack of pearl bracelets and each one was sized bigger than the others - meaning, the size of the pearls got bigger with each bracelet.  Which I LOVE, because you can mix match each one with different looks, or wear them all together!  I have done both ;))

 

The Gold/Rose Gold triple bracelet stack is a piece I've had for quite some time now and I honestly cannot recall where I got it from - I'm sorry :(( BUT if you can find something similar, grab it!!  Because it is so versatile and goes perfectly when wearing Rose Gold!  It has both Gold and Rose Gold shades in each bracelet then with the details of the charm binding them together, I just love it!

 

The last piece, the Rose Gold chain link bracelet is from Forever21 and this I found in the store.  I tried to find it online and they didn't have it - I was on a mission after watching ciaoobelllaxo's videos, she was wearing it and I was like, OMG, I HAVE to have it!!  So, luckily I found it in the store after searching online, with no luck, and I was ecstatic!!  It's heavy and sturdy, compared to the other pieces in this look.

 

I hope you enjoyed this post, and stay tuned for more to read!

 

Until next time, remember to leave a trail of glitter ;))

 

Take care,

Fun with Fashion!

Scarf: Cotton On; White sequin Tee: Old Navy (old)

Watch: Amazon; Matte Black link bracelet: Forever21; 

Gold Pave bracelet: Target

 

Hey Beauties!  I'm back sharing all the details from this look I wore the other day, and the pics above I posted on my Instagram (TheeGlitterBee), and also shared on my Twitter and FB page!  Btw, if you're not following me yet, make sure you check me out and FOLLOW!!

 

Anywho, I am O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D with gold right now, and I just adore black and gold together.  I feel it is so polished and sophisticated, but also extremely trendy and makes a HUGE fashion statement, all while remaining low-key ;))

 

The scarf listed in the first pic shown here is from Cotton On.  I do not see it on their website for me to share with you, however I did find it in their stores, AAAND it was only $5!?!  It's the perfect length, so you can wear it so many different ways!  I feel the shorter the scarf, the less you can do with it and I generally prefer the longer scarves - more versatile in styling and wearable!  The scarf is extremely soft and has minimal "fringe" which keeps it a clean look, however what is there adds to the boldness of the print.

 

Of course, I'm drawn to ANYTHING leopard print so when I saw this, it was a MUST HAVE in my scarf collection!  Make sure you check out Cotton On, if you have one local to you!

 

Now, on to the jewels of the day:  these items are all still showing available AND you can find them on each website!  The watch itself was only $7 and it has a soft, silicone feel band, which I know some don't like.  I, personally do not mind it, and absolutely LOVE it!!  The bracelet I HAD to have when I saw it, and I actually found mine in-store.  The matte black mixed with the shine of the gold is PERFECTION!!  Again, only $5, Ladies :))  This gold pave bracelet is an exact replica for the one from J. Crew but this one from Target is only $19.99 compared to $125!?  For a Fashionista on a budget (in reality, who isn't??) this is a STEAL!

 

I am probably a bracelet hoarder, but I just can't help myself when it comes to fantastic pieces that can take the most simple of outfits and make it Fabulous!

 

I hope you enjoyed my sharing of the wealth, so to speak, and keep checking in for more fabulousness!

 

Until next time, remember to leave a trail of glitter ;))

Current Wish List

I'm back with a little list of items that I am craving at the moment...I am OBSESSED with this phone case from Victoria's Secret!  It's neon pink with MIRRORED shades!?  Ummm...Hello0o??  Is it not the cutest??  You can get this little beauty for $19.50, which isn't bad for this cuteness ;))

 

Next item I want to mention is the newest chocolate sensation of the TooFaced Chocolate Bar palette.  I have the Chocolate Soleil bronzer from TooFaced and it smells SO. GOOD...words can't even describe the deliciousness of it!  I use it/wear it e-v-e-r-y-day and yes, I'm in love with it.  Obviously :))

 

I don't know about any of you but I am also lusting over anything camo!  It's so fabulous to see camo made into such a style statement lately, when it's always been a style staple for so many people I know.  However fashion houses have made it into a great print you need in your closet!  I love this tee from J. Crew, but it's a sad world we live in - it's sold out online :((

 

Diving back into the world of beauty, can I share how fantastic this foil eye shadow is??  It's Stila's Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow in Vintage Black Gold - once again, going with my deep, deep love and appreciation for anything gold!!  These eyeshadows are so unique and gorgeous, you MUST grab one and just see what I'm talking about!

 

Last few items are accessories to be included in every Fashionista's collection - I am IN LOVE with these lip pendant necklaces from Betsey Johnson which I found at Macy's and even better news...THEY'RE ON SALE!!  I just adore Betsey Johnson's style and creativity - the fashions and collections she comes up with are my taste, to a T!! 

 

I never got my hands on any of the Phillip Lim for Target bags, but I do find them to be extremely gorgeous!  I wish I had looked harder at the time of their release, however I never saw them at my local Target.  I have seen them all over Instagram and read stories of ladies searching high and low for a bag and they were hard to come by.  I love the structure of the bags and the simplicity.  That along with the color choices make them a MUST have in your handbag collection!

 

I hope you enjoyed my Current "Wish" List (yes, have one even after the Holidays!  I always have a little "wish" list a-goin!)

 

Until next time, take care!
