Five on Friday: My 5 Favorite Beauty Products

I'm not a beauty blogger, but I thought I would share my five favorite beauty products with you this week.

1. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel

I have loved this since the first time I tried it! It helps my skin feel hydrated and makes makeup application much smoother.

2. Jade Roller

I'm not sure what a jade roller is supposed to do or if it really does that thing...but I like to roll it over my face after my shower to cool my skin before I start applying my makeup.

3. Milani 2 in 1 Conceal and Perfect Foundation

I love that this negates the need for concealer. It applies well and lasts a long time.

4. Koress Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial

I don't know what it is about this, but my skin improved hugely when I started using this. It came in my Spring FabFitFun box. It is light, perfectly fragrant and a little goes a long way.

5. Maybelline The City Mini Eyeshadow Palette

I love these palettes. They are very pigmented, blend well, apply with little to no fallout and I love the price!

And those are currently, my five favorite beauty products! What are yours?

July 2018 Favorites

Another month has come and gone...July was a rough month for me, but I do have a few favorites to share.

So let's jump in!

Favorite Book: The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
I was a casual fan of Kristin Hannah until a few years ago, but her last few books have been among my favorite books so far!

The Great Alone is about a young girl and her family set in the 1970s. Her father is a Vietnam War POW who returned home six years after he was captured. He receives a letter telling him he inherited a homestead in Alaska.

I thought this book was well written, and while some of the story was predictable, I ultimately could not predict most of it, which kept me on the edge of my seat.

Favorite Movie: The Incredibles 2
Is this any surprise? I love Disney/Pixar, but I wasn't a big fan of the Incredibles. I thought it was good, but I never watched it a second time until right before we went to see The Incredibles 2. The Incredibles 2 made me love this franchise...Jack Jack is the best character. I am really hoping for a third installment!

Favorite Beauty: Neutrogena Under Eye Brightener
I used one of these from Mary Kay a long time ago, but recently have been finding a brightener much more necessary. When I saw that Neutrogena had a new product, I was eager to try it because I have been loving a lot of the new makeup offerings from Neutrogena.

Favorite Kitchen Supply: My new aprons
I have been meaning to make myself some aprons for a long time, but have never gotten around to it. For my birthday, I got 2 Minnie Mouse aprons and I love them both!

Favorite New Recipe: Slow Cooker Red Beans and Rice
It takes a while to make, but it is tasty and it just gets better as it marinates in the fridge.

Favorite Memory: My birthday!
My birthday this year was probably one of the best. It was a great day, preceded by a great weekend.

That's it for this month!
