I know it's been awhile since I wrote (July!) but I thought I would start letting you know what things I have been loving lately. (This might have something to do with all the youtube viewing I have been doing lately about beauty recommendations, but I think it's great to know what the good products are out there).
TurboFire
Those who know me well know I have always been a fan of TurboJam, but Chalene just came out with a new set of DVDs. I would describe it as high intensity kickboxing and dance all choreographed to music. This is seriously hardcore. It focuses on HITT (High Intensity Interval Training) and comes with a 20 week program to follow if you want. I am finishing up with week two and have already seen great results. You can buy it on beachbody.com and I got the one that comes with 13 DVDs packed with every kind of workout you could ever want for what time you have.
Real Housewives of New York, Beverly Hills, Atlanta
I pictured New York because it was within arms reach, but seriously this is one of the most addicting shows I have ever watched. Right now Beverly Hills and Atlanta is on (Sundays and Thursdays on Bravo) and I crave those nights to see what Camille, NeNe, or Kim is going to say next. New York is my ultimate favorite (because of my huge obsession with Bethenny Frankel) and it's coming back in February. Bethenny has left the show to do her own spin off (Bethenny Getting Married/Ever After) and it's starting this spring as well.
Michael Kors, Very Hollywood
I have had this scent since last spring, but it is my go-to scent for everyday. It's light but still stands out, and I get compliments on it often (many from Hugh though he doesn't realize it's usually when I'm wearing this). Love, love, LOVE this.
MAC Pro Palette
I have accumulated a lot of MAC eyeshadows over the years. Eye shadow doesn't expire, but I had gotten into the habit of just using the shades on top. Then I started watching youtube videos and found out you can get these palettes empty for $15 online or at MAC stores and fill them with all of your shades you already have. You just have to de-pot your shades. I'll attach a link at the end of this post explaining how if you are interested. You can also just buy the pans which are three dollars cheaper (and you can still Back to MAC them) at MAC Stores. I had enough shades for two palettes: natural colors and brights. The natural palette is pictured.
Favorite natural shades: brule, shroom, woodwinked, patina, soft brown, mylar, grain, satin taupe, wedge
MAC Eye Kohl- Fascinating
This is a great color for the inner corner of your eyes or your lower lid.
MAC Viva Glam Lipglass- Gaga
I love all of the Viva Glam lipglasses, but this one is so much fun. It's a great bubble gum opaque pink and will be great for spring/summer when you are a little sun-kissed.
Essie Nail Polish- Merino Cool
I have used this as a softer alternative to OPI's You Don't Know Jacque. It is gray at first glance but then has purple undertones. I have used this for both nail and toes since the fall. No question, my favorite nail polish this year.
Seche Vite- Dry Fast Top Coat
For years I have been trying to find the best top coat. I was wanting one that made my nail polish last but also dried quick. This accomplishes both awesomely.Ten minutes after I polish, I can start doing things and my polish lasts for at least a week. I. love. it. I will never use anything else again.
YouTube Channel- Makeup by Tiffany D
I have been getting into watching youtube lately, and this is the best channel out there for beauty tips, recommendations, and actual videos on how to apply makeup in certain ways. The next thing i am going to try from there is the Lauren Conrad eyes. Tiffany is awesome and I love her!
