January and February Favorites

Urban Decay Eden and Original primers 

I got these for Christmas but eden was my favorite primer it’s long lasting and matte which is good because I don’t like using my glittery primer when I do a look with a lot of shimmer. It just makes more shimmery and I look like a drag queen. Since I have gotten this primer I usually will do my makeup around noon then ten hours later I’m off of work and able to take my makeup off. I do notice a little bit of creasing but not enough for me to say okay this was a total waste. The down side is it is WATERY. I don't know if it is mine or the primer is like that. All I know is I hate that.

Original does the same job eden does, it just doesn't last as long but its not watery. Sometimes you just can't win ladies

Bath and Body Works Red Velvet and Cinnamon caramel swirl. Sweet Sweet and more sweetness!

Okay if I get a little excited just excuse it because I am SO in LOVE with these candles. I am not a big fan of scented things or of candles period. I thought that I would try some candles out especially after seeing Nitra B (my favorite vlogger and beauty guru) on YouTube I went to BBW and smelled alllllll of the candles and let me tell you that’s a lot of candles and I was only really pleased with these two I really regret not ordering anymore candles, but I’m trying to save my money that’s another post I guess I could do about why I am saving my money. Anywhoooo ENOUGH rambling.

My favorite one is the cinnamon swirl because it isn't too strong and being I have bad allergies and my mom gets migraines I have to be careful of what scented things I use and I have to use them sparingly but with this one it’s too bad I can burn it EVERY DAY and it won’t bother us I would have to put the lid back on after I blow out the flames because my room will be smelling like a sweet delicious cinnamon bun from cinnabon! That’s exactly what it smells like with a hint of a pecan swirl, or maybe I am just greedy.

NOW the red velvet candle is stronger then sweet I am a big fan of anything red velvet so I couldn't wait to get my hands on this bad candle! I just can’t burn it on a regular because like I said it’s too strong, when I first smelled in the store I did think it was strong but not as strong as it is when you burn it. It has this vanilla cinnamon smell, with a hint of red velvet. I bake red velvet cupcakes everyyyyyy Christmas so I was expecting to smell the smell I smell in my kitchen I am not too disappointed because I actually burn this candle more.
I am ready for winter only so I can buy more of these candles. I went to BBW to smell the spring candles but the selection was small and the smells were strongggggg.

Next is this book that I may have mentioned in a post back in 2012 (wow I can’t believe My Pretty Addictions is almost 2 years old) so this book is called the 10 rules of dating by Dr. R A Vernon the pastor of “The Word” church in Cleveland, Ohio. This amazing pastor came to my church New Beginnings Community Church, if you live in the Charlotte, NC area I advise you to visit my church for a good lesson, great singing and friendly environment ( you can come dress as you are no need to get your big church hats out)

The book is focused on how to live a single Christian life and how to find your soul mate. You don't have to be Christian to read it. But if you are trying to find the right person because you are tired of being single I advise you to read this. After reading this book twice I have another outlook on relationships and life period.

I'm not going to go on about it I rather you read it here is the link to his church's website The Word Church. Click here

 The Soap and Glory Sugar Crush that I talked about in my Sephora Haul post is still a favorite it is a little strong sometimes but it is still a favorite and my skin is still baby soft Click Here to purchase their wonderful products

2013 Christmas list

 Hi beauties! can you believe Christmas is just next month, time is flying so I couldn't wait any longer to do a Christmas wish list. There are so many things that I want but I'm in the middle of trying to remodel my room so with that and buying Christmas gifts for others I can't have my weekly visit to target for makeup or hair products :( Anyways here are a few things  I REALLY want and I just HAVE to have in my life as a fashionista. This post is for relatives that don't know what to buy me or for people in general that don't know what to buy their love one that is addicted to looking good. I hope this post can help many people with their Christmas shopping.

Happy Holidays beauties

Something I really need is a new laptop I have had this one for four years now and it has had some hard falls it recently fell on the bathroom floor in the library so something I want the most is a laptop!

Shoes 
size 9.5-10

Lately all I have really been wanting are shoes and surprisingly PANTS! Yes I said pants. I am all about a deal and saving money so besides Aldo being my favorite shoe store I have fell in love with Charlotte Russe because they are ALWAYS having some type of sale and they always have their buy one pair of shoes get one $15 so this year instead of putting shoes on my wish list from Aldo and Shoe Dazzle 
I am soooo in love with riding boots and I have been since Kourtney Kardashian stepped out with her Chanel riding boots about two years ago.

Bags

I carry my WHOLE life with me so therefore I need a BIG bag to hold all of my belongings and for days when I know I don't have one of my classes I like to use my purse as my book-bag as well and I think it's time for some new purses you can never have enough of those.

Make-up

BH Cosmetics 24.95

I've tried the sin primer by Urban Decay and I LOVE it because it shimmers, you can use it as a primer or eyeshadow itself but now I want to try the rest of them (Original, Eden, and greed) which are $20 at Sephora

Another Urban Decay product I have wanted to try is the naked palette 2 and the good thing about urban decay is that shipping is free for orders over $50 because if you're like me you don't want to spend $52 for a few eyeshadows but I just have to see what is so excellence about these urban decay palettes. Stores like Ulta, Sephora, and Macy's also sell Urban Decay products.

Urban Decay $52

MAC 32.50

MAC $33

I typically don't use MAC products on my face I usually stick to lip products being I have really sensitive skin. I have read many different reviews from people with sensitive skin as well, some people said they broke out some didn't so I just mine as well take a chance and try MAC products on my face this coming year, it won't kill me. I chose two skin finishers from the Divine Night Collection they are both $33

Perfectly Poised

Centre of Attention

One brand that I have been wanting to try is Sigma and hopefully after this Christmas I will be seeing what the rave is over this brand.

Dare Eyeshadow Palette Sigma 

Hair

Many people know how much I love my hair and how much I love trying new hair products because you can never have enough hair products, especially when you have dry natural hair. My all time favorite is the Argan oil Organix I am willing to try anything from organix but I really want to try ....
Moroccan oil that can be found at Nordstrom it's 108 for the shampoo, conditioner and treatment. It is expensive but it must work magic if it's that pricy. 

More natural products I would like to try 

Stretch Silkening Creme from Miss. Jessie's it can be purchased online or at my favorite place ever Target from $7 to $38

Or maybe just a gift card you could never go wrong with that!
