VLOG: Mandy & My Favorite Beauty Items

August 19, 2013

One of my frequently asked questions is…
 “What type of Mascara do you use??”
(maybelline full n’ soft mascara) I’ve shared it in my
But I thought it would be fun for  Mandy (House of Rose) and I to do a
beauty video and each share our four favorite beauty items..
our must haves when it comes to hair and makeup!
If you are looking for new products to discover and love, check out the video!
All great products for busy women who want to look pulled
together but don’t have a lot of time! and most of them SUPER budget friendly.
My Four Favorites:

Mandy’s Four Favorites:
4. FX Sea Salt Spray – Wave & Texturizing Mist 
5. Victoria’s Secret Dream Angels Angel Mist – Heavenly
6. Mac Eye Shadow – Paradisco/Espresso
8. Nars Bronzer – Casino
It’s become a VLOG tradition with Mandy that I
bring deodorant for her. bahaha. ;)
VLOG break to give smoochies. ;)
Would love to hear your favorites!!
Leave a comment and check my blog’s facebook and instagram
to see the products everyone else loves!
Mandy’s post is here..you should go say hi. :)

And in case you missed our HUSBANDS TELL ALL on being married to a blogger…
you should watch it. pretty much every response
was “I’m crying laughing.” I’m pretty sure they want
to do a “beauty picks” video next.. bahaha. Mandy and
I are going to quit our day jobs and just let our husbands
take over Vlogging for us. ;)

    You girls are too cute!!
    I only have 1 kid and I struggle to get in showers and get myself ready for the world.
    I give you both LOTS of credit!
    I can’t tell you how long it’s been since I’ve actually worn any type of makeup.
    I need to run out and get that MAC eye concealer though.
    Thanks for sharing!!

    I love the vlog of yours and Mandy’s must haves. I may need to get that dry shampoo!!!! I can’t live without my Beauticontrol instant manicure hand scrub. It’s amazing and leaves ur hands silky smooth. I leave it next to my kitchen sink and scrub every night. I love it. I became a consultant for the company because of this stuff!!! It’s that good!!!!

    You ladies are so fresh faced that you probably don’t need this one yet, but for those of us who have a few years of *ahem* “Tired Mommy” on you, I recommend a BB Cream: Tinted moisturizer with an SPF. It smooths, conceals, and brings back the youthful glow! I’m lovin’ Garnier right now–it’s pretty inexpensive too! ;) ~Christine

    Okay I totally already left this comment on Mandy’s blog, but you should try Pssssst dry shampoo!! It’s awesome!! I have tried Suave in the past, but I like Pssssst better ;-) Oh and my favorite eye shadows ever?? The Naked 2 eyeshadow pallet by Urban Decay is incredible!

    My MUST have is Garnier’s Shine Control BB Cream. It pulls double duty as a moisturizer and foundation, plus I can smear it on with my fingers and be done! I have oily skin and my face doesn’t get shiny by 3pm like it used to…awesome stuff!!! I am in the market for a new dry shampoo (as my 2 year old ripped the cap off my Dove one and lost it last week) and I’ll have to give the suave one a try! How the scent of it? I’m picky!
