The Chill Blog

 I am back with a new favorites video! It is quite a long one, so I hope you get comfortable!! Thank you so much for watching!!

 Hey guys! I am back today with an obsession of mine! I am known to fall deeply in love with a trend from time to time, and this time, it's with neutral pinks. They are usually named something to do with spice, just because it is a spicy pink, but to me, they are more neutral than anything else.

 I love this shade because I think it matches my skin tone amazingly! I love this color on my lips, on my nails, and in clothing! Down below, I have featured my personal favorites in this trend. I tend to use these more than anything else! So I hope you enjoy :)

I am back! And I'm gonna share my October favorites! October was pretty good to me, so I am sad to see it go. But now it's time to get ready for Christmas! I am so excited! I hope you enjoy these favorites of mine!

Thanks so much for watching, and I will see you soon :)

Hello guys, I am back with an August Favorites video! I hope you enjoy it :)

Hello guys! I am back with a new video! I am talking my favorite products for the month of June! I hope you enjoy it :)

What were your favorites for June? Be sure to let me know in the comments down below :)

Hello there guys! I am actually blogging on a day I am supposed to! What a great day! Woo! Anyways, I am back with a new post about my favorite lip products for summer. I tried to make this list really well-rounded, but if you have anything that you love and would like to share it with me, by all means, do so.

 Now I know that I usually try to make Thursday's a Youtube day, but this week I really couldn't film before today, so I am saving a video for either Saturday night, or Sunday morning. I am going to be doing my June favorites, even though we are halfway through July! But yeah, I will have a video in the nearby future, so be on the look out for that!

 Now onto my favorite lip products!

Carmex Lip Balm


 I am going to start this list with lip essentials! I cannot live without Carmex. I think this works better than any other lip product at getting your lips soft and unchapped. I use an EOS one because I like the smell, but if I need something to make my lips unchapped, I use this. It has a cooling kind of sting when you first apply it. The more it stings, the more chapped your lips are. But if you are pretty consistent with putting this on, there is less of a sting.

 The reason why I included this in a summer list is because I know that I don't want chapped lips in the summer! Summer is for car rides with the top down, and long nights! Chapped lips, while not directly involved with either one of these activities, does ruin a fun summer day. So if chapped lips is something you struggle with, (we all do, and you know it), then I totally recommend Carmex.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Lip Pencil in Ozone


 In stark contrast from the Rimmel lipstick, my next choice is the NYX Butter Gloss in Creme Brulee. This shade is a gorgeous nude shade that I feel like is perfect for me. Now I know that on some paler skin tones, this color can somewhat wash you out. I learned this by letting my mom borrow this and she told me she didn't like it. But for my medium skin tone girls out there, I feel like this is a great nude for you.

 I am a huge fan of the NYX Butter Glosses because they are the best hybrid between a lipstick and a lip gloss that I have ever seen. They are richly pigmented and not sticky like a lipstick, but are shiny and feel great on the lips like a lip gloss. I have like four of these butter glosses in my makeup collection because I am just obsessed with them.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in San Paolo


  If you watched my original Beauty Haul video on Youtube, you might remember me talking about this. If not, here is a link so that you can watch it, if you would like to. But anyways, this color is still a favorite of mine and it's been like 3 months since I got it. Maybe that's a dramatic estimate, but my sense of time is horrible.

 More about the lipstick. It is a dusty rose kind of color, that on me, looks more nude than pink. I love it though. I use it on looks that I want to be more vintage or older looking. This color is perfect for work. It is enough color to brighten your face, but not enough to be distracting in anyway. This is a staple in my lipstick collection, no matter the time of year!

Thanks so much for reading! I hope you guys are having an awesome day! Be sure to let me know what colors you are currently loving! I love looking into new beauty products.

Question of the Post: What are your makeup staples for a great Summer look? Be sure to let me know in the comments down below :)

 Hey guys! I have made another video blog, so I hope you don't mind! I am talking my April Favorites. If you like the videos I have made so far, be sure to subscribe to my channel! I would greatly appreciate it!

 Here is the video. I hope you enjoy :)


Be sure to tell me what your favorites were for April! Thanks so much for watching :)

 Hello guys! I just want to say thank you so much if you are reading this right now. It honestly means the world to me that you have stopped whatever you were doing to read this for like 5 minutes. I deeply appreciate you guys! I just wanted to say that because I feel like I don't say it enough. Like I understand I am not big in any sense, but I want to promote being grateful and showing just how appreciative I am of anyone reading this. So this was my way of doing that. Onto the post at hand!

 I think everyone who knows me personally knows that I am a huge music person. I eat, breathe, and sleep music. And I am always looking for new people to fall in love with their music. So I wanted to share with you guys an updated playlist just to feature some new artists and some new songs that you may or may not have heard of! I hope you enjoy this :)

Ghost by Halsey


 Recently I discovered Halsey. She is this super cool singer/songwriter that writes the most killer songs. Her EP Room 93 is literally my life right now. Anyways, this song is my personal favorite off of the EP. I love the melody of the song. It's unique in that it doesn't follow the mold of pop songs that I know of. She is deeply original and I think this song, as well as the others on her EP showcase her originality. She is definitely an artist to watch. I think she might be a big name one day.

My Type by Saint Motel


 This song is just so fun! It made the list because of the high energy of the instrumental. I cannot honestly tell you a single lyric of this song, but I love it for it's energy. It really symbolizes summer to me, if that makes sense? Like I can imagine a dance party to this song because it is that good. If you ever want to take five minutes and dance off any troubles, this would be a good song to do that to! And the video is perfect for the song as far as colors go! It's a summer song, for sure.

What About Your Friends by TLC


 This is probably the most random song in the group! I was listening to music with my mom the other day and she blasts this song. I honestly hadn't heard a lot of TLC's music except for the mega hits like Waterfalls and No Scrubs. But I really liked this song. It's got a great beat to it, and it's got a lot energy. It's a great song to sing along to once you know the lyrics. What's fun about any TLC song is that a part will be sung, and some will be rapped. So you really get the best of both worlds with any TLC song.


 Thanks so much for reading this! I hope you found a new song to love! As well, I hope you guys have all had a great Thursday! I know I have had a busy but great one!

Question of the Post! What are your current favorite songs? And be sure to leave links to your blog if you have one! I am always looking for new blogs to read!

 Hello guys! It's that time of the month again where all you see are monthly favorites posts! I personally love Favorites posts. They are my favorite posts to write, and my favorite posts to read.  I think I am just super nosy, but I really love seeing what other products other people love. I also like to see why they like that certain product. It's like talking to a friend about what she uses. You can sort of base what you want to buy off of these kinds of posts. I know I am guilty of doing that. So this intro is a little ramble-y, so I am going to get into the post!

 My favorite product for the month of March is the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. This is a light to medium coverage. This is good because it can work for so many different needs. If you are like me and really want a light coverage, then you can apply like one swipe of this concealer on a trouble spot and be done. If you need a little more coverage than that, then you can build by swipes until you get the coverage you need. This is my absolute, go-to concealer. You might be able to tell that by looking at the photo: the tube is like half way gone! This concealer is a staple in my beauty collection.

 Next is the Essence Eyeliner Pen. To be honest, I skeptically ordered this. I had tried an eyeliner before from Essence and I hated it. But I wanted to try an eyeliner pen, and this was almost the cheapest one Ulta had. So I ordered it anyways, and I was so glad I did! I don't know if it's supposed to come with two, but when I got this, it actually had two eyeliner pens in there, so maybe I got one free? Anyways, I love fine the tip is. I am a fan of a small line of eyeliner when I do my makeup. They also have larger tips in case you are more of an eyeliner person. But this product works for what I want, so I am glad to have found it!

 The Stay Matte pressed powder is one of those classic products that might be in all my favorites posts for the rest of time. I love setting my liquid foundation and concealer with this pressed powder! I got the transparent one, so I love how it doesn't change the colors on my face or make me look weird. I also love how it keeps me looking matte but not lifeless. It makes me matte enough to not look like a slip and slide, but not like paper. It's a solid powder for me.

 After that is the Tarte BB infused primer. I saw this as I was at Ulta in one of the things next to the register. I am a sucker for those things! I see a huge product that I have been dying to try in a small trial size, and without thinking, I get it. I personally love having this in a small size though because it's easier to carry around than the full sized tube. This product works as a tinted primer, but I use it as a foundation. It is honestly pigmented enough to stand as a light coverage foundation. Plus you get the good effects of a primer like smooth and poreless skin. Plus you also get the benefits of a BB cream. So it is correcting some of the imperfections on your face, while acting as a primer, while acting as a foundation. I probably like using this more than my other foundation. It's a really good product because of its diverse uses.

 Last but not least, the Bare Minerals Blush in the shade Golden Gate has been a lovely find this month! It is super pigmented! I use like one dab of the minerals, then shake off my brush a little, and then apply it. It comes out looking almost the same as really dabbing and reapplying my Maybelline blush. It applies really nicely on the skin, and this shade is perfect for almost everyone. It is a light pink blush. It gives a nice and healthy blush on the skin, almost as if you were blushing at a cute boy kind of blushed. I had never used a Bare Minerals product before this, and now I want to try them all because of how much I love this blush.

 Thanks so much for reading today! I hope you guys found some products that you might want to try! And I think I forgot to mention this in my intro, but Happy Easter to anyone that is celebrating it! I hope the day has been very good to all of you. With that, I will leave you guys with a question, like always!

Question of the Post: What were your favorites for the month of March? Which by the way, can you believe it's already April? Where has 2015 gone?!

Hello guys! I know what you're thinking: Two posts in one week? Well I know that I had skipped a week previously, and I just got in the stuff I ordered on Ulta! I thought about doing a haul blog post, but I decided that I wanted to do this review instead. So if you have never tried They're Real by Benefit and/or curious about it, I am going to give you my personal opinion about it. Now, I will warn you guys that I am in no way a professional when it comes to makeup. In fact, I really got into makeup like three months ago. So what I am going to post is just opinion based on what I have already tried and how I liked the product. So let's get started!



 First things first about this mascara is that it's applicator is AH-MAZING! Look at how many bristles there are and how long the actual applicator is! I love this because when I tried it for the first time, it really got each individual lash. Like even the hard to reach spots. When I was doing research for this product before I got it, I asked my best friend, who is like my beauty guru, about it. I was unsure if I was going to like it, but she reassured me I would, just because of the applicator alone. And she did not disappoint! I really hope my picture does it justice because it is just, so amazing. I can't even explain to you how much I love it.

 Next thing I love about this product is that it is really lightweight. I have sensitive eyes, so I find that I have to be really picky about what mascaras and eye products I use. Like I have bought mascaras before that I felt like made my eyes really heavy so I have stopped using them, even though everything else about it was fantastic. With They're Real, the formula is pretty lightweight. It honestly doesn't even feel like I am wearing makeup, and yet my lashes look good. Here's a picture of me with it on.

 Hello guys! So after last week's very personal blog post, I decided that I wanted to do something more lighthearted and fun for this week's post! I am going to talk to you guys about some of my favorite things of all time. Like raindrops on roses, or whiskers on kittens. You know, just casually. So I am going to break them down into categories so that this blog remains nice and organized. So here we go! (Let's take bets as to how many times I am going to say "so" in this post!)

 Skin Care

 Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not the biggest skincare aficionado, but I do have products that I swear by! And here they are!

Aveeno Lotion

 This stuff is golden! I swear by it for absolutely soft and touchable skin! I love buying lotions that smell good, but if you want something that is really going to moisturize your skin from the inside out, Aveeno is for you. The way cheaper, better smelling lotions work is that they sit on the surface level of the skin without going into your pores. This is great because you wouldn't want the chemicals that cause it to smell good to get into your pores, but at the same time, you won't truly be moisturized. The way that Aveeno works is that it not only moisturizes the surface level of the skin, it will actually get into the pores so that your skin is truly soft and moisturized. I can go a day without putting it on and still feel just as soft as before. I absolutely swear by it. I love, love love it! I get mine at Ulta Beauty for like $7.99 I believe. It's not as cheap as the smell good lotions, but it is worth the money!

Simple Products

 I only use Simple products when it comes to taking off makeup and exfoliating. I like Simple because it  does not use harsh chemicals. And you can tell because when you use it, it doesn't leave your skin very dry. There's still an element of dryness because your makeup needs to come off somehow! But it isn't as harsh as some makeup wipes I have used in the past. I use the Simple Cleansing Wipes and the Exfoliating wipes. I get the cleansing ones in a pack of two for $8.99 at Ulta. One pack, which is 25 wipes, is $5.99 at Ulta. And the exfoliating wipes, I believe, are the same price. I could be wrong on that, but I am pretty sure they are the same price.

Beauty

 Covergirl Lashblast Mascara

 I have literally been using this mascara since the time I have started wearing makeup. I love the applicator on this mascara. It really separates each individual lash and the formula isn't super heavy, which I love because I have really sensitive eyes, so it makes it easier for me to wear mascara if it's a light formula. This one goes for like $7.99 at Walmart I believe. I get everything at Ulta because, yeah, I like rewards. I swear, my Ulta rewards card is my life. I love it!

L'Oreal Paris Youth Code BB Cream

 Okay, so I don't wear typical foundations. I just think it looks so heavy and I don't like wearing too much makeup on my face. I like BB creams because its a light/sheer finish (partly because it's not supposed to be worn as a foundation), and while I wear it, it actually corrects some of the issues I have on my face. Like my cheeks are a little more red than the rest of my face, but since I have been using this BB cream, I am noticing my skin becoming more clear and consistent. I got this BB cream for $5.99 at Marshall's. I think regular price though, it runs like at $10. I just looked at some prices on Google and that seemed to be the median price. If I am wrong, I am so sorry!

Television

 I am not a huge TV person. I just don't like sitting and watching TV. But I do have some shows that I am very dedicated and loyal to, so here they are!

American Horror Story

 I absolutely love this series! I love how each season is so carefully thought out, and each season is different than the others. I think my favorite season was Murder House, but I am also enjoying Coven on Netflix. Sorry, I haven't quite enjoyed Freakshow. I just felt like this season there was a real lack of a story being told. It feels disconnected somehow. I don't know how to explain it. But Murder House, Asylum, and Coven are so good that I am going to watch it until it ends. I absolutely love this series. Just a warning, it isn't for the faint hearted. If you get easily scared, or you don't like gruesome television, I wouldn't recommend you watch the series. It's a little out there, but I love it so I will continue to watch it!

Tabitha Takes Over

 So I don't know if this show is still on the air, but I was obsessed with it a few years back. And if I see it's on, I will either watch it or record it for me to watch later. I love these kinds of renovation shows. This also goes for house flipping shows. But there's too many I watch for me to list them all out. Basically, if a store (it used to only be salons, but she expanded the show to do all kinds of businesses) was falling apart, she would come in for  a week to see what was not working and she would completely redo the business to give them a fresh start. I absolutely love it. Renovation shows are my weakness, and this is my favorite show of that kind.

Music

 I have varying tastes in music. I like different kinds of genres and artists. But I am going to simplify this by listing two of my favorite artists, from two different genres. That way you guys can see two different styles. (Heehee, styles. Like Harry Styles. Heehee, heehee).

 Young The Giant

If you were to ask me who my favorite artist/band is, I would probably say Passion Pit or Young The Giant. I would probably put Young The Giant above Passion Pit though because YTG is more diverse in their songs. I can honestly say each of their songs are unique and so good. They have such a calm and romantic theme sometimes, but then they can also be very edgy and meaningful in others. I just love them. I can't really say much more than I love them.

One Direction

Speaking of Harry Styles, I would rate One Direction as one of my favorite bands. I love how much they have grown as a band in the years that they have been together. You couldn't listen to the Up All Night album and the Four album and say that's the same band. And the beauty of it is is that they are the same band. They have gracefully matured in their songs and their songwriting abilities. To think that they used to never write their songs, and now they have so much more control as far as songwriting goes. I think it's wonderful. Plus, no one can deny that their songs are catchy.


Alright guys! I hope that wasn't too long of a read! Thanks for reading this post! What are your favorite things? Comment below, or if you have a blog, comment that below! I would love to check it out! Alrighty, then! Bye!
