Hey everyone! Just a small little post about my favorite woman, Beyonce. She came out with a music video with Coldplay for the superbowl and I LOVE the makeup. I am still building my makeup collection, so I had no idea how the heck I was going to pull this off. But I found a youtuber that did!

If I could find a way to wear this look for the super bowl (weave and all) I will! Here id the video I found!

Lush Mask Review

I recently got my hands on some Lush products that I have spent some time using and therefore wanted to give a review.

First I will go over Mask of Magnaminty. This is my second time getting this face and body scrub. I love it. There are various sizes that a person can pick from depending on how much you want or need. You don't need much on your face or body. I use this to clear up my makeup from my face and really get a good clean. That and I can put it on my face before I get in the shower and then once in in wash it off. I don't scrub hard since it is already pretty textures and I don't want to put more pressure on my face.

What I really like about this product is that it doesn't make my face break out. My face is weird that if I leave it alone, no problems. But the minute I use something new on my face, I break out. I don't have this problem with Lush. Maybe because their products are more natural and hand made. Small things like that make a huge difference when you are putting things on your face.

Next is Cupcake. This is like a chocolate candy on your face! It is brown like a thick chocolate pudding and has little specs of almonds in it too I believe. It is for oily skin, which I don't have. But I feel like it is great for my skin, which is not oily. Plus the smell stays on my skin which I adore. Do this mask and then cuddle up to a love one ;).

If I don't want to do the whole mask then I will go straight to my cupcake mask and call it a day. This also cleans my face really well but I feel like this is not my first step to take off makeup. This is more of my after I took off my makeup kind of routine mask. Same with the mask a over. These are great for after care and shower use. Just remember to keep the cupcake mask in your fridge!

What things do you guys use in Lush? I need some new things to add to my purchase list!

True to the title, something simple is all you need. Don't get me wrong I love my makeup. When I'm home in the city, I can't help but put on my full face.

But sometimes I either don't have the time or just too damn lazy to do the whole application. Sometimes I don't want my face to be full on either.

Sometimes, simple is all I need.

Though don't get me wrong. No one needs makeup to be beautiful! Makeup is just a mask you play with and enjoy.

When I do want to keep it pretty simple, I go for mascara and a lipstick.

Lately my favorite mascara has been push up by Maybelline and soft spoken by Nyx

Both are very affordable and great for what you need. I do out S little setting power on my face or spray, both by Nyx.

I have yet to find a good bb or cc cream

Though.

Any recommendations?
