If you're like me, and still have no idea what you want, fear not! I have you covered! I have suggestions that will satisfy the questions being asked by your mom, family, friends, husband/boyfriend etc.
Let's get started! (I apologize for the marathon post. I promise it's good stuff! I have provided links to websites that carry most of what I'm suggesting. You don't even have to leave the house. #winning)
1.) This candle!!! It's currently ON SALE! Bath & Body Works has this scent in hand soap, wallflowers, and lotions. It smells like the most wonderfully, relaxing spa!
 |
| I'm telling you...this is the best! |
2.) This blanket!!! My sister-in-law (Hey LJ!) introduced me to this blanket forever ago. My brother and sister-in-law each have their own, as do my niece and nephew. They make them in a child size, so it's perfect for all members of the family! I finally asked for one for Christmas last year, and quickly became obsessed. I even gifted one to my best friend this year. (Hey Courtney!) Don't worry...I'm not spoiling it for her. I gave her Christmas present to her before Thanksgiving, because I just couldn't help myself!

| Nothing goes better with your morning cup of coffee than this blanket! It's just so cozy! |

3.) These Urban Decay products!!! I started with the setting spray (the black bottle), then added the priming spray (the green bottle), then followed a suggestion from Courtney and bought the eye shadow primer. The 6,000 near perfect reviewers on Sephora agree on how awesome these products are! My makeup stays on so well that every night I'm shocked by how much comes off on my makeup wipes!
 |
| They really help your makeup last ALL day! |
3.) This foundation!!! I received this in a sample size from Sephora, and immediately fell IN LOVE! Then found out Sephora didn't have it in the store...
The lady at Sephora actually told me to go to Ulta. Isn't that their competition?? I just don't understand. Why give out samples, and not have it in the store?? They do have it online, but I wanted it in my hands!
I digress...it evened out my skin tone perfectly, and didn't feel heavy and caked on! It doesn't take a lot to get great coverage, so one tube of it will last you at least a few months!

4.) Rodan and Fields!!! I would like to be very clear. I do not sell R&F, and receive no freebies by putting this on the list. I just really like the products! I have NEVER felt more confident in the way my skin looks. My R&F lady posted something one time that made so much sense to me. It was basically that the most expensive makeup in the world would look bad on bad skin. Good skin is the base of all good makeup looks. I tell you, it's true! I haven't tried anything I didn't love. I use the Unblemish Regimen that is for acne, but I also use the Reverse Lightening Regimen to even out skin tone. I also use the eye cream, and active hydration serum. I'm telling you...obsessed! If you have any questions about any of their products, contact my R&F lady: Cindy Aldrete (caldrete.myrandf.com).
6.) Apple Watch! You can read all about my love for my Apple Watch and all the reasons you need one on my Apple Watch review!
7.) This perfume!!! I smelled this for the first time last summer, and it was love at first sniff. I immediately purchased it, and haven't stopped wearing it! I wore it visiting a friend over the summer. When I gave her a hug, she caught a whiff of it, and said "what is that glorious scent you're wearing???" I'm telling you...it is the BEST perfume I have EVER smelled. It is definitely not the cheapest perfume, but it is the best!
8.) The BEST leggings in the world! Seriously, they are a must have! These leggings are thick enough that you don't have to worry about your backside being visible! We've all seen someone out in the world whose leggings were thin, and her entire butt was visible! (Does anyone else think "do I tell her everyone can see her butt?" But then don't because you also think, "perhaps she wants her butt visible to the entire world!" so you just say nothing??) Trust me, in these leggings, that will NOT be you! Besides ensuring your underwear aren't on display for the world, the thickness also gives you a little control and holds everything in. We all wish our stomachs were smaller, flatter, more toned, etc. These leggings will camouflage an area you may be self-conscious of. They are priced at $49.99, and they are worth EVERY penny. However I prefer not to spend $50 on leggings, so I watch them and wait until they are on sale. With it being close to the holidays you can get lucky and catch them on sale. Lou and Grey doesn't go on sale super often at Loft, so jump on it when it is!
In this picture I have on full makeup to desperately try to cover up all the acne I had on my face. It's almost embarrassing!
(Campbell could not be cuter though!)

My hair wasn't the only thing that changed between these pictures. I always use to analyze people's before and afters and say, "well the lighting is different" or "the camera is at a different angle." These are my results after just a couple of months (like four I think), without any makeup, in the same place of my car, with almost identical lighting. In the picture on the right, I was headed to church...without makeup!
5.) Lipsense!!! Again, I'd like to make it clear I do not sell lipsense, and do not get any freebies from suggesting this! Just like with Rodan and Fields, I just love the products! Lipsense is amazing! My friend Caty sells it, and in April of last year I asked her if I could just try it to see if I liked it. She gave me a color to use for an entire weekend, and I was hooked! She gave me Praline Rose, since it's a great neutral.
Praline Rose started everything. It is just perfection!
My love of Praline Rose caused me to slowly start to add to my collection. I now have quite a few, and love them all. I'm going to share some of my favorites! 
Purple Reign gives you a perfect, bold, pop of color!
Goddess is perfect when you want a noticeable neutral...is that even a thing? It is now.
Lexie Berry is the perfect bold, fall color! It is a dark wine color, but not TOO dark. It's just right!
Because a PERFECT red is a requirement for every woman, Blu-Red is a necessity! It just gives any outfit just a little extra pizzazz!
If you're wanting to start your own Lipsense collection, contact Caty!
