1. Ritzy Rue Accessories

Of course - how could this not be one of my new favs? I love that the earrings can be dressed up or down... I always have a pair on when I go to class! They're only $4.00 and are the perfect statement earrings!

2. Redken Extreme Strength Builder

This helps to restore the protein in your hair.. it works so well! If you're blonde, you know the amount of  damage that bleach can do to your hair. After conditioning my hair, I towel dry it in the shower and then use this. I leave in the treatment for about 5 minutes and then rinse it out. You can use it as a daily boost or as a weekly revitalizer. This was about $14 and can be found at any hair salon the sells Redken products.

3. Celebrity Hollywood Whites

This is a great product for those who use the tanning bed. It comes with a mouth guard and UV-activated gel that whitens your teeth as you tan. I saw results after only using it once! I definitely recommend this product for anyone looking to brighten up their pearly whites.

4. Baby Powder

I know. You're probably wondering "Why baby powder?" Let me explain - Baby powder is an awesome product to use to freshen up day-old hair. It's been said that washing your hair every day isn't the best for it, but nobody wants to walk around with gross looking hair either. For those in-between days, just sprinkle some onto your roots, let it sit for a few seconds, and then rub it in with your fingers. The powder absorbs all of the oil and leaves your hair looking freshly washed. It's cheaper than dry shampoo and (in my opinion) works better.

5. Makeup Blender Sponge

I briefly talked about this product in an earlier post and told you I would update you after using the product a few times. I love this thing. It's not the real "Beauty Blender" (I'm not spending $25 on a sponge), but it's pretty much the exact same thing. I use less foundation when applying it with the blender sponge and it goes on really smooth and light. You can snag this at Ulta for about $4. I plan on doing a tutorial on how to use this, so sit tight :-)

1. Pink Chiffon Fragrance Mist (Bath & Body Works)
This stuff smells amazing! I found it today when I was buying some new hand soap from B&BW. One of the sales associates sprayed it on a cute little pink ribbon and tied it around my wrist. I actually left the store without buying it, but after a few hours of smelling my wrist non-stop, I went back to the store and bought it for $15! It's B&BW's newest scent and it's sweet smell is SO worth the price!

2. Brilliant Shimmer All-Over Powder (Victoria's Secret)
This "Candygirl" color is one I discovered when I received the Victoria's Secret Runway Makeup Kit as a Christmas gift. This gives such a gorgeous, shimmery highlight with a hint of a playful pink color. A little goes a long way so this stuff will should last a while!
This can be purchased separately from the kit for $14 on their website. 

3. Baby Lips SPF 20 Moisturizing Lip Balm (Maybelline)
I'm going to start by saying that I absolutely LOVE this lip balm! It comes in 6 different colors/flavors for a wide variety of looks. "Pink Punch" is my favorite to put under a nude lipstick for a "going out" look, while "Peach Kiss" is great for a more natural vibe. I love the fact that these have an SPF of 20 to protect your lips from the sun while keeping them moisturized and fabulous for a full 8 hours. Each lip balm goes for $3.99 and can be found at any drugstore!

4. Neon Pink Teasing Comb (Sally's Beauty Supply)
The higher the hair, the closer to heaven... right? I love teasing my hair for a full and voluminous look. This neon pink comb from Sally's was only about 45 cents and does the job just right ;-)
