show us your life...makeup and beauty favorites!

over at kellyskorner today is show us your life...makeup and beauty favorites! i love makeup and always trying to find the best! there is something about buying a new gloss or lipstick...

here are a couple of things that i love...

ysl mascara singulier

love this mascara. i have tried many and this has been my favorite by far!!!

ysl touche eclat radiant touch

my makeup goal here lately is to find the best concealer (definitely with a 2 year old and 4 month old)...i have tried and bought many. i keep coming back to the ysl touche eclat. it lasts forever and i love the brush applicator.

the foundation (that i like at the moment) is the trish mcevoy even skin portable foundation . it is an all in one foundation...it goes on cream to powder and has great coverage.

the best color for cheeks to me are the cheek stains from tarte. every color is pretty and has a long staying power!!!

for glosses and lipsticks...i usually always wear smashbox, laura mercier or ysl.

my favorite hair product by far is the aveda pure abundance hair potion.

it goes from a powder to a lotion in your hands or on your hair directly. it adds texture and volume...i usually add it around the crown area. i can definitely tell a difference in my hair when i do not use it. LOVE!!!

hope you enjoyed!!!

show us where you live...SHOPPING!!!

As you have seen from recent posts...I read a blog called Kelly's Korner and every week she hosts "show us where you live" on Fridays...one week it might be your wedding pictures, your kitchen or favorite recipes. I decided since I just started blogging that I would join in the fun. What better time to do that but on your favorite places to shop week?!? I LOVE to shop for myself and my kiddos!!! The husband doesn't LOVE it so much!!!

Anthropologie

It is a great place for unique pieces that can add a little spunk to your wardrobe.

pink, ruffles, bow...nothing more needs to be said.

they carry great stuff to cover up the belly flop (from having babies)...I love my babies and my belly flop as I call it...but I do love shirts that cover it up as it goes down.

The next place I have found recently is Modcloth. They have some of the cutest dresses! They also run really good sales!

You can never go wrong at the Taylors...Ann Taylor or The Loft. Very cute stuff! Ann Taylor has been running so many deals here recently of 40% off one item. Love that!!!

For the kiddos...

Ebay

Best place ever for deals! Especially since they only wear them for a small amount of time! I have a list of the name brands that I like and I just type them in along with the size I am looking for and start bidding! I have gotten some very cute outfits for less than half the retail price! Can't beat that!

The Cherry Tree 123

Cutest one of a kind clothes...Melia made a lot of stuff for my 1st son before I started sewing myself. LOVE everything she has done and is wonderful to work with...you will not be disappointed!!!

The next place...you really can't shop there but I love everything she does...my mom!!! She smocks for my kids and every outfit is off the charts!!! She smocked all of Quinn's panel pictures and will do the same for Qualls.
