A little beauty on the brain. :)

Afternoon! Hope you're doing just dandy on this fine Friday!

This past week I've been obsessed with makeup and hair tutorials on youtube. I just can't get enough of them! Let me be the first to say, some of those hair tutorials are a little bit tricky though! I know I had a hard time with them. 

Here are a couple of links to me favorite ones! 

This one is a "date night" makeup tutorial, SUPER pretty!

This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE hair tutorial. I go back to this every couple of months to get some new ideas. And the best part about it, it's FAST. She does some of those in less than 2 minutes! (That's my kind of hairstyle!) 

But during my time of searching all these "beauty tips" and little secrets I started thinking. Since when do we have to look a certain way to be "beautiful?" When did that start? Or has it been going on since forever? So that got me thinking AGAIN. Why do we let society decide that about us? 

I don't think you need to weigh 130 pounds to be beautiful. I don't think you have to have flowing gorgeous hair to be beautiful. I don't think you have to wear the cutest clothes to be beautiful. And I definitely don't think you have to spend hundreds of dollars on beauty products to have pretty makeup. So here's my new plan! I'm going to go on a hunt for CHEAP products that you can use that are just as good as the expensive products, but don't break your bank account. I'll try to add one makeup/hair/beauty product to every blog I post that I have used and know is just as good as the name brand stuff. 

Now, before you get all puffy, I am DEFINITELY not saying that if you buy expensive products you're a horrible person or you're bad for using them. If you can afford it and can use it well, GO FOR IT! I'm jealous. I'm a poor girl, I gotta go to wal-mart and walgreens for my makeup! Lol :) 

Anyway, here's the latest product I've used and loved! 


 BABY LIPS -it's some good stuff! 

I have the color "Pink Wink." It taste a little bit like Juicy Fruit chewing gum and has a nude finish. It's great for everyday lip color and it also keeps my lips from getting chapped. (I have a REALLY hard time with chapped lips.) 

I would recommend this any day and I know for a fact it is available at wal-mart. Don't quote me on the price but I know I got mine for less than $6. 

I hope you don't get the wrong idea. I don't mean to offend anyone. If you weigh 130 pounds and have gorgeous flowing hair and can afford expensive beauty products, you're blessed! Be thankful! :) But for those of us who aren't quite that fortunate, maybe these little tips will help. :)

In the words of Bob and Larry from Veggie Tales, "God made you special, and He loves you VERY much!" :) Have a great day! :)
