It is no secret that IT Cosmetics is one of my absolute favorite brands. Their original CC cream changed the game for me. However, when they came out with this Oil Free Matte CC I had to try it out. For someone who has oily combination skin this works great it's not so matte that you feel dry. You still have the same look as you did with the original but you stay matte much longer. I get asked a lot about what I suggest for summer makeup. IT Cosmetics and their CC+ products are the only way to go for me.

I think it goes without saying that their brushes are perfection and every single time they are in a kit I find a new favorite brush. I can't tell you how many people are obsessed with this mascara because I have been gifted it a few times and I gave it to friends. This was years ago and it's the only mascara they will use because it's so good. If you are new to IT Cosmetics take this opportunity to try it out when you get such a great deal.

$89.99 CHI Paint Party 1" Flat Iron available online here!

This is the perfect gift for all moms out there. Long hair or short you can use this 1" ceramic styling flat iron. I find that it works great for days that I want that glamorously sleek straight hair. However, it also is small enough that it curls your hair with perfect bounce every single time. My friend was visiting and she has much longer hair than me but still loved this flat iron. She said she wouldn't normally flat iron her hair because it takes too long, but not with CHI. You can heat it up to 410 degrees, but with my thin hair I don't need it to be at that temperature I can work with it much lower.

I also adore the pattern on this flat iron and think it is fitting for a lot of women out there. The great thing is if this pattern isn't for you or your mom they have lots to choose from. You can go in store at most JCPenney stores and pick this up, if you don't have time for online ordering. The fanny pack is adorable, and can be worn all Spring and Summer as they are the latest fashion accessory!

Have you picked up your gifts for Mother's Day yet? Will you be gifting a CHI product?

Check out your local JCPenney or find it online here!

This was gifted to me for review consideration. All thoughts and opinions are all my own.

I was so happy to walk into my local Ulta and see a permanent spot for their I Heart Revolution products. Seeing only reviews online I had to pick up a few things to try out for myself. I had to try out their Fixing Spray in Peaches and Cream it was only $8 and so far I am loving it.

I also had to grab this very mermaidesque Starry Eyed Palette that was $15. I have a full post using these products coming up. So be sure to check back to see swatches and a tutorial. If you can't wait until then I must tell you that they swatch like a gem and are beautifully pigmented.

I consider myself the highlighter whisperer, if there is a highlighter I must have it. I wasn't sure what to expect from these palette they looked beautiful but would they make me visible in space for only $7? These have been my go to highlight for weeks now. I can't tell you enough about that glow, and if you spray your brush with the fixing spray you get a BAM in your face highlight.

Be sure to check back for a tutorial and full review! I just had to share quickly these amazing products so you can go ahead and pick them up!

My friend Suzanne is almost 50 and is very pretty with great skin. However, you know I wanted to glam her up and take her to the next level. I am known for my bright, dramatic, wild makeup and i just had to do a Glam Makeover on her. Please watch the video on my channel below (and subscribe) to see everything I used!

Be sure to check out my friend Suzanne's new YouTube channel as well!

ABH Riviera Palette- $45 online here at Sephora!

I picked this palette up as soon as it came into Ulta stores. I had to have it, I love bright colors and it reminded me of why I love makeup so much. There is always something that is new coming out from every brand but this sparked the artist in me. I was going over in my head all of the looks I could create. Even if you aren't one for the bright pink, you can still get a beautiful wearable look from the Riviera palette.

No primer or base and only 1 swipe from pan to my hand!

I mean just look at those swatches, how pigmented they are. That is worth every single penny if you ask me, to get pigmentation like that without having to work for it. Let me know in the comments if you want to see me create a few looks with this palette and do a blog post or tutorial!

Hope you enjoyed this quick feature on the new ABH Riviera Palette!

Morphe x Jeffree Star 7 piece Brush Collection- $49 online here
Beauty Sponge Trio- $16 online here!

Mini size dry vs Mini size sponge damp

I have used the original red morphe sponge and wasn't a fan but I love Jeffree Star and these are pink so I knew I had to pick them up. Let me tell you that these may be my new favorite sponges. So much so I will be picking up another set when they come to Ulta. I was recently in Tampa and bought these in the Morphe store, if I had known they were going to be so good I would have gotten more then.

You can see from the photo that when damp they grow to a nice size, and are super soft even when dry. If you are a fan of more firm sponges this won't be for you. However, if you like the original beauty blender and Real Techniques these can easily replace both of those.

I love these brushes, the bag they come in, handles and even how soft they are. I have read some reviews on Instagram that they are like the Wet n Wild Brushes that came out during the Holidays. Let me say that these brushes have weight to them, they are structured and not cheap feeling even though you are getting 7 brushes for $49. I have not used them to apply my makeup yet but from first impressions I feel they will be some of my favorites to reach for.

Were you able to get your hands on these before they sold out? They will be at Ulta on Sunday March 3rd so be sure to grab them!

Blue Buffalo Chicken Dinner Canned Food- 24 can pack $39.99 online here!

What they say:

Real deboned chicken provides your dog with essential amino acids they need every day.
Hearty whole grains like brown rice and barley supply the complex carbohydrates that your dog needs for energy.
Whole carrots and sweet potatoes, blueberries and cranberries...these are just some of the nutrient-rich fruits and veggies you’ll find in these Homestyle Recipes
Chelated minerals boost the immune system and Biotin keeps the skin and coat healthy
A sensible alternative to less convenient raw diets, which often require additional supplementation to be nutritionally complete

My dogs are big fans of Blue Buffalo, and this canned chicken dog food has been added to their loves list. We brought this on our vacation for the dogs as well, because they are very finicky travelers and we knew this would keep them and their tummies very happy.

They did not have any digestive issues with this food, and we will for sure be trying other flavors. These cans are great for my 2 chihuahua's that waste a large can before they ever finish it.

If you have small dogs that are finicky eaters definitely give this a try.

Thank you to Chewy for providing this food for review consideration.
