Falll 2012 Beauty Favorites!

Fall 2012 Beauty Favorites!
with OPI, Shiseido, Wet 'n Wild

It is time for a favorites post! I am so excited!!! I am especially excited because I am featuring the cute graphic above from Beautysets! Have you guys had a chance to play around with Beautysets yet? So fun! I hope to create more lists there!!!

In the past, I featured Monthly Favorites. In the future, I think I will fluctuate between monthly and seasonal favorites. It seems that I went a couple months where I was literally just using the same products. So, I skipped a few months in favor of doing a seasonal Fall Favorites post instead! I just don't want to be too repetative. With that said, if ya'll really want to read favorites posts here on a monthly basis. Please let me know! I would be happy to do it monthly if ya'll really love reading these types of posts.

There are a ton of products that I am *totally loving* right now. Some products I stumbled upon recently and some of them are long-term faves. Buckle in ya'll as this is a long list! I seriously love everything mentioned here!

If you are curious to find out what my Fall Favorite items are, please keep reading!

"Most Worn Things" for Summer of 2012!

As Fall rolls in and Summer comes to a close, it is time to ponder my "Most Worn Things" of the season! Typically I don't post may tags here on my blog...but, this one is too fun to pass up! I figure instead of my usual "Monthly Favorites" post this month, I will do this tag instead! I know that I always like to read this type of post on other blogs!

How did I choose the items? These are, quite simply, my most worn items of the Summer Season. We are talking daily basics here. I love creating lists like this (actually, lol, I am kinda a list freak). While I often focus on new product reviews on this blog, posts like this one allow me to focus on some daily basics and favorite products that I have been using all season long, and in the case of some items, feature products that I have loved for years!

What you will find are my daily basic Summer essentials. I live a casual lifestyle as a Stay-at-Mom with my little 8 month old baby. As much as I love glamour, my daily go-to items are fuss-free staples that are quick and easy to use. Most days I am out and about with my baby girl. These are items that help me to look and feel pretty while doing that!

What are my "Best of Summer" Most Worn Things? Keep reading to find out!

Pammy Loves Products! June Favorites and Monthly Reflections

I am going to try something different with my Monthly Favorites Posts! Ya'll let me know what you think! :)

I want to open it up each month with a "Monthly Reflection". This will just be my non-beauty related musing on life at the moment. If you want to skip my musings and get right to my top-product picks, please just skip over my ramblings and jump the page break to get directly to my top products list (and check out the cute new "list" graphic! Thanks Christine!!!)

Whatever is going on in my life always segues into my beauty needs! Having a hectic month? I need quick and easy beauty products! In the mood for self-pampering? You might see a lot of body products that month. Is there a change of season? Then I will shake-up my beauty routine too. For me, my beauty products are always refelctive of what is happening in my life. Some months I shop more...and have more new products to try. Sometimes a new season will hit, and I will have access to new makeup collections and samples. You just never know!

There is one constant: My beauty routine is always changing! Beauty routines really are "fluid": they change and evolve as we do.

Monthly Reflections:
I know that having a young baby at home makes time go by on warp speed. I mean, last year at this time I was busy with nursery preparations, baby classes, and baby showers. Now I have a 6-month old? That is just crazy-pants! She is growing so fast. Awwhhhh!!!!

Motherhood is the most amazing journey I have ever been on. Every day is a new experience or a first. I feel very lucky and blessed to be experiencing the art of Motherhood. I know that it is a state-of-being that will take a lifetime to perfect.

Another Year Older:
As I write this post, I am on the eve of yet another Birthday. Another year has gone by. I can't even believe that I am in my (cough) late 30s! Sometimes I can't believe it because I still feel like I am 15 on the inside. But other times, I feel old as the hills! LOL! There is one thing that is for certain, this past year has been the most amazing of my life with the birth of my first daughter! There is no question that I feel lucky and blessed to have this beautiful child in my life. While I get older ever day, I realize that, in many ways, my life is just beginning. I am only at the beginning of my long journey as a Mom. It is a dream come true for me!

Lets Talk Products!

So, those are my musings for the month of June! Now, lets talk products!!! June has been a great month for favorites! Some of the items on my list are repeats from previous months (there is a particular item from Pixi that I am particularly obcessed with!) and some items are new products that I either purchased or fell in love with while testing for review. Either way, these products are all flippin great!

May 2012 Star Products: May Favorites!!!

Even though I was thinking that I would take the "month off" from posting favorites, ya'll-I couldn't resist!!! As I was organizing and sorting through my products this morning, I realized that I have so many favorites this month that it would just be a crime not to post them!!!

This month's list is quite varied. I have some long-time favorites in here, there are some new favorites that I have been loving all month long, and there are even some new products that I have gotten in the past couple weeks that have already become fast favorites!

There seem to be so many products in this month's list. These are all products that I have been consistently reaching for this month. Some products are items that I am testing or have recently tested for review, some I have recently purchased, some were gifts from friends, and some I have just had for awhile. No matter how the product came into my possession, These products are selected as favorites just because that is what they are...my favorites (regardless of how they came into my possession).

So, lets get to it. Shall we?

April 2012 "Star Products": April Favorites

Hello Beauties!

It is time for my monthly "Star Products" post! Every month I keep a running list on my iPhone of the products that I am reaching for, loving, and using the most. Often they are products that I am currently testing, but also they are sometimes old favorites!

This month I seemed to have a lot of favorites to mention. I am trying a lot of new products and can already tell that many of these are destined to be favorites for quite some time. There is even a repeat from last month's favorites (the product is just *that* good that it needed another mention this month!).

So, what are my *stars* for this month???

March 2012 Star Products: March Favorites!

Wow, what a fast month? Here we are...its Spring already and Easter is coming soon! The weather in GA has been just lovely (despite the crazy high pollen count!).

While our winter was mild, it is always the best feeling to pack away the winter clothes and to shake-up my beauty routine for Spring! Gone are my sweaters, boots, and dark nail colors. Its time to bring on the pastels and the brights! I seemed to start my makeup transition mid-month and those items quickly became my month's top picks! Also, when warm weather rolls around, I switch up my fragrances too...

So, what items make my Star Products list this month? Be sure to keep reading to find out!

April Star Products (April 2011 Favorites)

Happy May Dolls!!! 

I can't believe we are starting a new Month already?!?! Seriously, where does the time go??? Yes, it is time for my monthly "Star Products" post (April Favorites). 

While I love this time of year, it is such a hectic time as well! I don't work in the summers, so it is quite busy at my job in April and May. During busy times like these, I tend to reach for products that work well and work quickly. I want to be ready and out the door in minimal time. 

With the beginnings of the Georgia sunshine and heat, I am switching gears to lighter fragrances, lighter skincare (I don't need to pile on the moisturizer), and softer and more natural makeup. I mean, I always go for the natural-look; but, I have really streamlined the routine and try to reach for fewer products so that I am out the door quicker with makeup that looks pretty in the sun! :) 

So, are you dying to know my Favorite Products of the Month? My all around "Star Products"??? Well, keep reading after the jump for photos and a full list! 

January 2011 Star Products (January Favorites)

Hey ya'll!!! Its that time again...time to talk about my favorite products for the month of January 2011!

As my blogging journey continues, I feel that I am "getting better" at picking out my monthly favorites! While there are so many products that I love, my picks for "Star Products" of the month are items that I have reached for, and loved, continuously over the past month.

I generally try to choose an item in each category (so, a blush, skincare, etc). But, sometimes I don't have a particular Star Product at the time (so not all categories will have an item listed). I don't want to pick something just to list it. I want true *stars* on this list: total standout products!
