Creating Amanda: November Favorites

Wow I can not believe we are already in the last month of the year 2013!!! November was a great month, with a ton of self realizations and epiphanies. Today, I started my new part time job at Crazy 8 so I now currently have 4 part time jobs. I do not know exactly how I will keep up with everything but I love being busy and progressing! I will also be on the lookout for a nice apartment hopefully in the cypress area, so there will be future posts on my hunt for the perfect apartment! For now here are my November Favorites....

Beauty Products:
Like always I have a few beauty product favorites to share. I love working at Ulta and being a Mary Kay Consultant I get to try anything and almost everything and find what I feel is best! That being said I share the products that are my absolute favorites. If you are interested in knowing what I don't think is any good or not as good let me know and I can make blog posts for product failures.

First product is the Mary Kay's Skinvigorate Cleansing Brush. THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!! It only costs 50 dollars, a fourth of the price of a Clarisonic. You use this with your cleanser, it removes 85% more makeup than cleaning by hand and softens the appearance of lines and wrinkles. After even my first use with this cleansing brush my skin felt incredibly soft and my pores were much smaller. I have now been using this product over 2 weeks and my face has never looked or felt better.

Another Mary Kay product I have been in love with for many years now is the Ultimate Mascara. This is my perfect mascara for an everyday, neutral look. It gives definition and volume without looking like you are wearing false eyelashes.

The Benefit They're Real Mascara lengthens, volumizes, and lifts the eyelashes. This mascara is for my glam looks. It defines my eyes and makes them POP. My only complaint is that this mascara is a bit difficult to take off other than that it is a miracle mascara.

My first lip beauty product is the wonderful Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Lip Balm in Coral Crave. This is a medicated balm that soothes and moisturizes the lips and I like that they are in neutral tints which bring out my natural lip color.

Lastly, I had no idea that Victoria Secret had nail polishes but as I was in the check out line I saw a beautiful array of polishes and had to get a couple. I got two nail lacquers the soft pink is called Flirt Away and the shimmering rose gold color is called Steal the Show. Unfortunately I couldn't find anywhere this product is sold but if you happen to see them in a Victoria Secret store I highly highly recommend picking these up!

Hair Care:
One of my absolute favorite things about working at Ulta, getting recommendations for the absolute best hair care products. As many people know I have put my hair through alot with color changing and it has gotten long and dry so I was in search of very conditioning hair products that promote the health of my hair.

Which has led me to It's a 10! Best hair care products I have ever tried. Been using all 3 of these for over 2 weeks and my hair has increased in strength, natural shine and decreased in dryness and fewer split ends. The three products are It's a 10 Miracle Shampoo Plus Keratin, It's a 10 Miracle Daily Conditioner, and It's a 10 Miracle Hair Mask.

Candles:

My new found love is CANDLES!!! Currently my two favorites are Fresh Apple from Circle E Candles and 'Tis the Season Candle from Bath & Body Works. Fresh Apple truly smells like a field full of fresh apples picked from trees and Tis the Season smells like a crisp Christmas Candle.

Movie:

Last week I saw the new Disney movie Frozen and holy cow it was AMAZING!!! Not like Disney could make a bad movie but this was just phenomenal. Filled with great music, comedy, triumph and love. But like many Disney movies that are focused on overcoming an evil from another person this movie is very focused on overcoming our own fears and doubts in ourselves. It is truly an uplifting movie and I can not wait till it comes out on DVD I will be one of the first ones to own it. If you haven't seen it....GO SEE IT....you won't regret it!

Music:

Demi Lovato- Let It Go
