Pinterest hair!

I am on my way to Charleston for my anniversary...Yay!!!! 

Last night I tried a Pinterest hair trick that you twist your hair and pin it up and sleep in it and magically in morning you have curly hair! 

My hair is really long right now so curls just don't hold we'll so I thought I would give it a shot so I didn't have to fix my hair in the morning!

Can you believe this actually worked!!!! It took me like 60 seconds to do this last night and...Voila magic curls!!!

Let me know if this works for any of you!

XOXO,

Drugstore beauty!

 I think I have ranted and raved about how much I love MAC makeup and there just isn't any foundation like it. Well, I still believe that but with my favorite MAC foundation Studio Fix Fluid btw...and one tube being almost $30 I decided it was time to head to Target, and find an alternative for day to day.

I like good coverage and staying power. Certain foundations will just eat away on me and in like 30 minutes, looks like nothing is on my face.

I have tried every foundation under the sun and here is my review. Bloggers everywhere  ranted and raved over Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation and said it was so similar to MAC. 

 

I tried this out but I just found the foundation to be to thick and would cake up. I tried my foundation brush and my hands nothing seemed to work!

I then tried the Revlon Mousse makeup…

I actually really like this one and the color was right for me but just not enough coverage!

I finally found the golden ticket!

Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation

This has the same lasting effect as the liquid but not the cakey feel! It goes on so smooth and it almost wipes away your pores! I do layer primer first and I'm loving Almay CC cream. It's a great corrector and primer! I think total for both items is only around $20! Money saving mama and happy husband ;)

I have one more drug store find and it's only $5.99 and just in time for summer!

I love this stuff perfect for beach days or days to hot for a fixed hair day! It smells amazing and works great!!!

Hope you enjoyed my blog on beauty finds for less! Let me know any of your favorite drugstore beauty products!

6 year wedding anniversary!!!

My 6 year wedding anniversary is coming up next weekend and I'm so excited because my sweet hubby is taking me to Charleston for the weekend!!! I can't even explain how much I love Charleston it is one of my absolute favorite places!

Every year on my anniversary I wear white it's my tradition every year. Even preggers I wore a white dress, I love to feel like a bride every year! My husband always finds a way to make our anniversary special the first 3 years we went to Charleston the 4th year we had Elouise who was only 6 months old so still nursing and we went to my favorite restaurant in town. Last year we went to Charlotte and went to the whitewater rafting center and stayed at Ballantyne resort where we spent our wedding night!

*just realized hubby wore same suit 3 years in a row

Back to our favorite spot this year in Charleston and while on the hunt for perfect white dress I found a fabulous dress in (insert gasp) bright coral do I mix it up or keep searching for a white one??

Stay tuned to find out!

Happy Friday!
