Best of Beauty Drugstore Edition!

This will be a new series I'm starting, which is basically my own award show version of the best beauty buys at the drugstore for every type of product, i.e. best mascara, best eyeliner and so on. I often get asked by friends and family about what the best products at the drugstore are. I have tried and tested countless products and decided its time to divulge the hidden gems!

I will focus on different areas each week kicking it off with the eyes this week which will be posted tomorrow. Gear up for the best of the best at the drugstore!

Also, if there isn't a product category listed for example primer, it means I haven't found a drugstore version that I love and recommend yet.

I hope you all enjoy this series and find it useful!! I would also love to hear your favorites as the series progresses. 

xoxo Jess

Fashionably Nude

Nude nails are hitting the beauty scene in a big way. Graced on the perfectly manicured models of the runways during New York Fashion Week, nude nails are clean, chic and effortlessly sophisticated. The trick with rocking nudes is to find the right shade for your skin tone.

I adore this nude which is more of a warmer cream nude from Formula X by Sephora in the color Invincible. Another option is to go for more of a blush nude if flesh colored nails freaks you out (I was once in this camp). Honestly if you're apprehensive, head over to Sephora and check out the Formula X polishes. Every color is beautiful and flattering and the polish is some of the best I've ever tried.

Blogging Every Day in November

To celebrate another month of blogging every day, I thought I would share a little bit more about me with y'all. I would love if you commented below with your answers to some of these questions so I can learn a little more about all of you! :)


1. Thing you cannot leave the house without:
My purse! I have my keys, phone and all that jazz in there. I also keep little snacks and water in my purse which is mandatory for me, I get hungry quite often.

2. Favorite brand of makeup:
Hmm this is a hard one, for drugstore I really love Revlon and Maybelline. For department store, I love Urban Decay and Makeup For Ever.

3. Favorite flowers:
Sunflowers. They are so cheerful! They grew in our backyard when I was little and I loved that they would turn to face the sun. :)

4. Favorite clothing stores:
I have been really loving Daily Look lately, and surprisingly Target.

5. Favorite perfume:
Michael Kors and Dior's Miss Dior Cherie.

6. Heels or flats?
Definitely flats. I am like a baby giraffe learning to walk when I wear heels...not good.

7. Do you make good grades?
I'm not in school anymore, but I did well when I was in school. I have always loved learning.

8. Favorite colors:
Pale pink and gold.

9. Do you drink energy drinks?
Noooo. I can barely handle caffeine and sugar. Too much caffeine makes my heart race and makes me jittery. 

10. Do you drink juice?
I like fresh squeezed orange juice!!

11. Do you like swimming?
I am not a big fan of getting water in my nose or eyes...so not really. But I do love being in and around water.

12. Do you eat fries with a fork?
Nope. My fingers are my utensils.

13. What's your favorite moisturizer?
I am obsessed with body butters. I love the Trader Joes Coconut Body Butter. I figure if you're going to moisturize, might as well really hydrate.

14. Do you want to get married later on in life?
Yes if it's with the right person.

15. Do you get mad easily?
Not really. It takes a lot for me to get upset, but if someone hurts me or the people I love I am not happy.

16. Are you into ghost hunting?
It's funny because I am fascinated by ghost stories and shows, but am slightly terrified of ghosts...I know it makes no sense.

17. Any phobias?
I used to have a phobia but got through it so now I just have the average dislike of spiders and snakes.

18. Do you bite your nails?
Nope I prefer to cut them with clippers.

19. Have you ever had a near death experience?
Oh goodness, thankfully no.

20. Do you drink coffee?
I do some mornings, but I prefer tea for most.

See you tomorrow loves!

What's in my makeup bag || Travel Edition

Hi Loves!

I posted a new video featuring what I packed in my makeup bag while visiting family and friends back home. :) Watch the video HERE.

Happy Halloween!

Happy day of ghouls, ghosts and frights!! What are you going to dress up as tonight? I love Halloween but will be traveling all day. Luckily I should be home just in time to give out candy to trick-or-treaters and watch spooky movies tonight.

Also, today concludes my month of blogging daily! I can't believe the month is over and, to be honest, I wasn't entirely sure I would make it blogging every day yet here we are. I loved writing a new post daily and I want to thank you all for reading and coming along for the journey. :) I think I will continue blogging daily through November. The fun is not over yet! ;)

Have a fun Halloween and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

xoxo

Current Obsession: Tazo Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte

I am currently obsessed with this Tazo Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte! I got mine at Target in the tea and coffee aisle and I'm hooked. Since it's a concentrate you mix equal parts milk or a milk substitute with the concentrate. I like to use coconut milk or almond milk. Then you can either drink it cold with ice or heat it up in the microwave for a hot pumpkin spice chai latte. I'm not typically a fan of chai, but this one is so amazing I am on my second carton and it has replaced my morning coffee until further notice.

Product Description: Cinnamon and cardamom sit by a crackling fire, knitting black tea scarves and catching up over mugs of steamed milk. Ginger waltzes in with a just-baked pumpkin pie, the aroma filling the room with sweet spice.

This is a seasonal flavor so if you're interested head out and pick one up soon.

Manicure of the Day: Quilted Silver

I am a little obsessed with these two nail polishes! While I'm not entirely sold on combining them together, I do love each color seperately. For the metallic silver quilted looking polish, I used an Essie effects polish called "Little Boa Peep." It has an awesome 3-D look to it like it should be bumpy but it's not. (It comes with a magnet on the lid which you hold above the wet polish to make the design.) For the accent nail I used a Revlon polish I'm Urban and it's this beautiful deep navy blue! By the way, I only used one coat and it was completely opaque!!
