NARS Radiant Longwear Foundation, $49

NARS is one of my top 3 makeup brands when it comes to foundations. I can pull off their New Guiena shade almost all year round which is why I love it. I am excited to try this new foundation because it claims to improve your skin over time. Who doesn't want that? I'm also interested in the fact that it's long wear and radiant, which is somewhat of an unusual combination. Hopefully NARS next foundation is a mattifying one, that is what I am really looking forward to.   

Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick, $18

I already have this awesome lipstick in the shades Candy Venom, Clapback, Saw-C, Freckle Fiesta, Spanked and One of the boyz. I was not able to purchase all the shades but I really want them. For some, the colors may seem outrageous. However, I love wearing funky lip colors with a neutral makeup look. The next 4 shades I am going to get are Midnight Wasabi, Ya Dig?!, Up 2 No Good, and S1ngle. I will definitely make a video reviewing these other shades coming soon.

PMD Personal Microderm, $160

A couple of years ago I went to a spa for a facial and randomly decided to try a microdermabrasion treatment. My skin looked so amazing. The only drawback was that there was $50 add-on charge to the price of my facial. Most estheticians recommend that you get 5 to 6 treatments for the best results. A more affordable option would be a PMD because I could do it myself and save a lot of money. I want to complete some more research before I get one, but I'm a little nervous because I have very sensitive skin.

Okachi Gliya Portable Nano Facial Steamer, $40

Continuing with my at-home spa treatment theme, steaming is probably the best part of a facial. Your pores open up and all the gross stuff can be removed. I also really enjoy that warm feeling. So far, my research has shown that this is one of the most popular at home steamers on Amazon. I'll probably see what YouTube thinks first before I buy it.

Essie Sheer nail polish, $9

At the beginning of December, I choose to get an emerald green pedicure and it stained my toenails horribly. Since then, I have been trying to stick with lighter colors for my toes. I am currently wearing Pink Glove Service and it's my new favorite nail polish. Along with purchasing that shade I also what to get Back in the Limo. I love Essie polishes in general, so these will be great additions to my collection. 

2X Sigma Spa Brush Cleaning Glove, $40

I try to clean my makeup brushes as thoroughly as possible but I can always use some help. This cleaning glove looks like it gets the job done. I have so many brushes and it takes a long time to clean all the brushes. This seems like an affordable way to speed up the process.
