L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black

Hey Everyone! 

Voluminous Carbon Black (and myself. oh yeah. i'm cool lol)
                 Today after coming to the realization that I needed a new mascara, I decided to browse the Cosmetics section of my local Target. As I walked up and down the aisles I remembered the research I had done the night before on drugstore mascaras. The one that really stuck out in my mind was the L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara. Oh My Gosh. It is the blackest mascara i've ever used. Like no joke. That's basically what made me love it. I only wear black mascara, and the blacker the better for me. I don't like color or brown mascaras. The reasons being are, One: Colors don't go with everything. Black goes with everything and I am not the kind of girl who owns a million and a half different mascaras. It's wasteful and I can't really afford it. Two: I just don't like brown mascara. Another thing, is that it really pumps up your lashes after you build it up. I like mascaras you can build up. It doesn't smell awkward like the Maybelline Volume express mascaras, it really doesn't have a smell at all, which I really like. 
            I know its a bit late to be jumping on the Voluminous Carbon Black bandwagon, but better late than never I always say! :) Anyways, I really recommend this mascara if you haven't tried it already. The color payoff is amazing, the price is right, and the volume is amaaaaazing!

Honey Sugar Scrub :)

Bonjour Lovelies! 

Honey!
            I have a new obsession! Honey. As a part of my skin care routine. Normally when one thinks of Honey, they think of sweet, bees, or food. Skin Care usually doesn't come to mind when I usually think of Honey. I was doing some natural skin care research for things you could do at home, when I came across a lot of posts and videos about the skin care use of honey. Naturally, I was intrigued. After reading quite a few things, I found out that Honey is a natural antimicrobial. This means that it kills and resists bacteria. Plus, it is a natural humectant and therefore good for moisturizing. So, using that, plus my knowledge of lemon juice and sugar, I decided to make a all in one scrub that contained moisturizing, antimicrobial, and exfoliant properties. If you didn't read my post about Chamomile and Lemon Juice toner, Lemon Juice is a great natural exfoliator. We all know that sugar is a great exfoliator as well. I combined all three things to create the best scrub for the face and lips!

You Will Need:
  • 1 tablespoon of honey (doesn't matter which kind. I used orange blossom)
  • A decent squirt of Lemon Juice ( I used "real lemon" )
  • 4 tablespoons of White Granulated Sugar 
  • A small tupperware contained (preferably with a lid for storage)
Instructions:

  1. Place sugar in container.
  2. Mix honey with sugar
  3. Add Lemon Juice
  4. Mix again
  5. Apply to face
  6. Massage into skin
  7. Rinse.
I Hope You Enjoyed!

Questions or Comments?

It's been forever!

        That's right Lovelies! I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! I know I haven't posted in like no joke forever. I'm sorry about that, ive been on youtube making videos like crazy. To tell you the truth, I kind of got burnt out on the whole daily blog thing,  but I am going to try it again. I will probably be deleting my Liv's Freshman 15, and starting a different daily blog. I will be posting more beauty related stuff and tips. I hope you all can forgive my absence. :)

Chamomile tea and lemon juice toner!

Bonjour Lovelies!

Chamomile Tea :)
(Not my pic, I thought it looked cute)
        I Have a special treat for you all today that is good for you and good for your skin. I played around with some ingredients for a natural toner/ exfoliator. That's when I came up with Chamomile tealeaves soaked in water with lemon juice added to the tea. It works amazing. My skin felt so much more moisturized. I have extremely oily skin, and its still dry. I needed to find a solution that didn't make my face super oily while giving it great moisture as well. 


Ingredients:

  • 2 Chamomile Tea Bags
  • two cups of water
  • a tablespoon of lemon juice (fresh or concentrate)
  • Small Microwavable container with lid
Directions:

  1. Fill container with two cups of water
  2. Place tea bags in water
  3. Microwave for one minute, let tea bags seep
  4. Cut tea bags open, and dump leaves in tea 
  5. add lemon juice
  6. stir
  7. soak cotton balls in toner
  8. apply to face :)
Hope You Enjoyed!
xoxo Liv

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss

Bonjour Lovelies!

Super Lustrous in Pink Pop
            Im currently raving about a product that ive heard so much about, and ive been using it for like a month now. It's Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Pink Pop. The color range in the US is about 10 colors, which is an ok amount of colors, due to the fact that it has been out for awhile. It is a really smooth lipgloss that isnt sticky and has high shine.

     I realllyyy like this lipgloss. Not only is the color pay off good, you can build the level of intensity. You can use the doe foot applicator to give you a sheer effect or you can add more to give it a more opaque look. I really encourage you to try this lipgloss.

Joe Jonas- See No More !!!!!!!!!!!!!


Joe Jonas <3

Bonjour Lovelies!

      OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!
I am in looooove with Joe Jonas' new single "See No More" Let's just make it clear: Im in loove with Joseph Adam Jonas. period. (haha)
     This song kind of brings him out of the tween music scene, and into the more mature adult world of music. The song has a different tone than previous Jonas Brothers songs and thats what makes it good. Don't get me wrong, I still love the Jonas Brothers and want them to go on tour again so I can finally attend on of their concerts. But if Joe goes on tour.. oh yeahhhhh Liv will be thurrrrrrrrrrrr!
 I just downloaded it on itunes for $1.29 USD. (don't get me started on itunes shister-ish prices...) Well, anyways, still go download it, because it is amazing and Joe Jonas is sexy, so if you don't like the song, you can still look at the album. haha.
