Makeup & Beauty: Chanel & Bobbi Brown

Makeup and Beauty by thelifeoftheparty featuring a brow kit

Bobbi Brown Cosmetics brow kit / Bobbi Brown Cosmetics evening eye makeup

Over the weekend, one of my good friends was wearing Coco Mademoiselle. Ah, smells so amazing, I had forgotten just how much I love this perfume.

I’m a creature of habit in the worst way when it comes to makeup. It was time for a slight change without going over the top so I picked up this neutral Bobbi Brown modern neutral set-perfect color palette for everyday. It is a limited edition that includes eye shadow with lid and eye liner shades, mascara, little color for the cheeks and Carolina sheer lip color.

Nail polish! Yes, please! I’m on the search for this Nude Glow makeup collection by Bobbi Brown.

Monday Makeup & Beauty: What’s in My Makeup Bag

There was a time in my life where I thought I should stick with the same brand for my entire face. My how times have changed. I tend to be a creature of habit so even though I’ve tried many products over the last year, I still tend to go back to the same old tried and true with the exception of a few new must-haves like Smashbox Primer and MAC Fluidline.

These are the products I use everyday…..everyday I decide to put makeup on that is. It seems a little absurd because it really doesn’t feel like I use this many products…but I do and here they are!

Monday Makeup: Birchbox Favorite Skincare

Last week I shared a few of my favorite haircare products that I’ve come to know through Birchbox. This week is a list of four beauty products I’m loving right now.

Suki Face exfoliate foaming cleanser with lemongrass extract and natural sugar smells so fresh and clean. I really liked this product but not necessarily as an everyday exfoliator.
I was thrilled to be introduced to the COOLA classic facial sunscreen. Many facial sunscreens tend to be very heavy, not only that they smell just like you’ve walked through the tourist section of the beach. This stuff doesn’t have that sunscreen smell at all. I’ve been a huge fan since!
These are great to have on hand while traveling, they are so refreshing and smell fantastic.
I’ve been exposed to a lot of facial cleansers. As far as everything Birchbox has sent over in 2013, Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion was the most note worthy. My face felt amazingly soft after using it.
