Drugstore Finds: 

LOVATICS by Demi for NYC New York Color

Isn't it exciting when you find a hidden gem in the drugstore! Drugstore makeup has really stepped up its game in recent years. I just love that you can find really great quality at a drugstore price. Plus, who doesn't love the convenience of picking up a fun makeup item while doing your usual weekly errands! ;)  

Lately, I am really loving this LOVATICS by Demi for NYC New York Color palette in #020 Natural. Ya'll know that I am a sucker for neutral shadows...and neutrals palettes in particular. Sure, I still love my high end nudes and naked palettes. However, finding a drugstore neutrals palette is a total score! Especially one that is as well organized and with such nice quality (like this LOVATICS palette!). This palette has the perfect assortment of neutral shades ranging from light to dark. You can easily create a variety of complete eye looks with this palette without having to reach for any additional shades! It is perfect for my everyday makeup. Plus, I can even go bolder and more smoky with this palette for evening looks, too. The pigmentation and staying power of these shadows is amazing, too! 

As N.Y.C NEW YORK COLOR’s ambassador since January 2015, Demi Lovato is celebrating her first anniversary by launching the highly anticipated “Lovatics Collection,” as a thank you to her loyal fans, the Lovatics. Demi seamlessly manages to emulate her cool and fashionable lifestyle through the collection allowing fans the ability to create their own unique city approved looks. 

“I am so excited to share my first makeup line with N.Y.C NEW YORK COLOR. The Lovatics collection is a true representation of my bold style and provides endless opportunities to rock your own individuality. One of my personal favorites, the Palette Eyeshadow, is a must-have that allows you to create your own unique look with 12 versatile nude shades!” – says Demi Lovato.

The Skinny:

• The new fashionable Lovatics by Demi Eyeshadow Palette ($4.99) features 12 nude shades
• The collection also includes: Lovatics by Demi Lip and Cheek Tint ($3.99), Lovatics by Demi Eyebrow Liner ($1.99), and Lovatics by Demi Volume & Length Mascara ($4.99: available in black).

Have you tried anything from this collection? I would love to hear your thoughts! :)

A Relaxing Evening Routine with Aveeno's NEW Ultra Calming Nourishing Night Cream

Relax with Your Evening Beauty Routine:

Your beauty routine does not have to be a chore! For me, it is quite the contrary. My evening beauty routine is actually very relaxing and I look forward to it every day. As a busy stay-at-home Mom of a 19-month old and a Preschooler, my evening beauty routine is my major "me time" of the day. It is time to de-stress, unwind, and do a little bit of pampering. 

With all of that said, I don't want my evening beauty routine to be too complicated or too time-consuming. I want to use gentle, yet effective, products that do good things for my skin. As an Aveeno Ambassador, I get a chance to try out all of the new and great products from Aveeno. I am really enjoying their new Ultra Calming Nourishing Night Cream. Aveeno encourged me to share my current relaxation routine in the evenings featuring this night cream. So, I am excited to share that with ya'll today!

 

Your skin's natural renewal process occurs at night while you sleep. That's why a good night's rest is so important for your skin. Without it, you could end up with more sensitive and irritated skin. Before I share my personal beauty routine, I would love to share dermatologist Jeanie Downie, M.D. 's essential nighttime tips to waking up with clearer, healthier-looking skin. 

Essential Nighttime Skincare Tips:

1. Power Through the Wash: No matter how tired you are before bed, use a gentle cleanser to wash away the makeup and debris that accumulate during the day. 

2. Get Calm: Moisturize your face and neck with a quality night cream like the new AVEENO Ultra-Calming Nourishing Night Cream. It contains Active Naturals feverfew (soothes red, dry, and irritated skin) and oats (nourish and strengthen skin) to reduce the appearance of red, dry skin. 

3. Sleep Well: Try to get 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep at night to give your skin time to fully restore itself. (I fully admit that I need to work on this! I am lucky to get 7).

Lippie Love: Pür Minerals NEW Pout Pens!

 Affiliate Link Press Sample

Introducing Pout Pens from Pür Minerals:

I don't know why...but, after years of being into soft/light pink light lip color, I am now super into bright and vibrant lip hues. I am just loving the look of vivid color and lips that really stand out! It has really energized my motivation to try out new lippies and explore color! 

These new Pout Pens from Pür Minerals are so fun! They are dual ended with one side being a lip stain and the other side being a glossy balm topper. The result? Beautiful fruit scented sheer long-wearing lip stain/color and a nice glossy shine that can be reapplied throughout the day! I tried out two shades: Fuzzy Navel (orange/peach) and Sangria (cool-toned pink wine shade).

Part lip tint and part moisturizing balm, these 2-in-1 lip stains infuse your lips with sheer color and soothing hydration.  A blend of Vitamin C and nourishing natural extracts helps keep free radicals at bay and condition lips, while the precision felt tip ensures long-lasting, flawless lips.  

The Skinny: Pout Pens from Pür Minerals come in 4 shades and retail for $20 each. They can be found at Ulta and purminerals.com! :)
