MAC Maniac


    
The only place you catch me on a Friday night is, yes, the mall! My plan was to go in just to get a couple of items off my shopping list for my closet. A few minutes into my shopping trip, I saw a store I just could not pass up!!!. As I walked out of Bloomingdale's, I saw one of my favorite places ever... The MAC store. As I saw my reflection upon the outer glass, I knew I belonged inside immediately. I know, I know, this girl is obsessed with MAC, but I'd buy the whole store if I could afford it. Ever since I bought my very first MAC lipstick, "Love Lorn," I fell madly in love with all the other lipsticks they carried. 


So, I devised a plan to build my collection by purchasing one lipstick per month. It was about that time, and I wanted to pick a shade of lipstick that was suitable for the hot summer season coming up. After a little help from the amazing make up artist on duty (Sahyd), I found what I was looking for: "Viva Glam" by Nicki. 


When I first sampled this lipstick, I fell in love with the hot-pink tones, with just a hint of coral. This shade instantly made my eyes pop along with my cheeks due to the contrast. I can't wait to get my summer tan to try on and see how this wonderful lipstick stands out against a darker complexion! 



Vaseline Moisturizing Body Gel Review


  
 Vaseline Moisturizing Body Gel (Cocoa Butter) is a perfect addition to any girl's beauty product collection. It is basically an oil and a gel all-in-one. Vaseline has an amazing lineup of skin products in general, but this one holds a particular place of honor in my collection. The cocoa butter is great for any skin type, acting as a natural moisturizer. It also helps that cocoa butter is a fantastic antioxidant! Use of this product will leave your skin glowing and feeling refreshed. I was hesitant at first, assuming the product was greasy, but was I ever wrong. It is actually far from it, and can be used either all over your body or just in particular areas where you want to focus on.

After tanning, use this product to lock in that tan and make it stand out. I personally like applying this product on my legs and shoulders to make them stand out more. I am not ashamed to admit that I feel like I have Carrie Underwood's legs after using this product, lol. This product is frequently used by pageant girls, and can give you the same great shine they are looking to achieve. This product is available at most stores, especially drugstores. Be careful to use a small amount when applying it, about a pea or dime-sized amount; this will also guarantee that it lasts much longer. If you've been using baby oil for this effect, set it aside... This product is amazing, and much better that a standard bottle of baby oil any day!
