    Beauty Gift Guide: IT Cosmetics Holiday 2016 Collection

    If there is one thing I love about the holidays, it is holiday beauty collections! Every year beauty brands come out with the most exclusive beauty collections just in time for the holidays. They go out of stock almost instantly because everyone is dying to get their hands on these beauty bundles. Not only are these collections exclusive, but they usually save you a good chunk of money.

    This year I was lucky enough to get my hands on It Cosmetics Holiday 2016 collection and I can’t stop obsessing over it! As a beauty enthusiast, I have never come across a brand I love as much as It Cosmetics. Not only are the products some of the best in the market, but they are great for your skin as well. Some of my favorite products are included in this year’s holiday collection: The SuperHero Mascara (the only true black mascara I have owned to date) and the Confidence in a Cream Moisturizer (5-star facial moisturizer). I have developed a nightly skincare routine with solely It Cosmetics products and my skin has honestly never felt better (drinking a gallon of water/day helps too).

    Finally, treat yourself or that special woman in your life to this wonderful gift. Help her look and feel her most beautiful this holiday season. I have found that their products work with any complexion and their brushes are to die for! See for yourself and check out their 2016 Collection below. Be sure to buy it before they run out!

    5 Beauty Products To Try This Summer

    Summer is basically here! It is time to pull out your shorts and your sunscreen. As fun as the sun may be, I know a thing or two about how bad makeup can be in the summer. I worked in the direct heat for over 5 summers and as a makeup enthusiast, I had to learn how to not look like a melting cake every day.

    Foundation: My favorite summer foundation is It Cosmetics CC Cream with SPF 50+. This is a personal must have for the summer. I originally tried it over spring break this year and I loved how it stayed on all day and didn’t look cakey in the sun. It is a Full Coverage Color Correcting Cream, Anti-Aging serum, plus Broad Spectrum Physical Only SPF 50+ all in one!

    Mascara: Maybelline New York Great Lash Waterproof MascaraThis Mascara works wonders and it is only $6 at your local pharmacy or Target/Walmart. Not only is it waterproof, but it gives you fuller lashes without that clumpiness in other mascaras. It goes on so smoothly and is smudge resistant. This is one product that has stood the test of time.
