Press Sample Review: Nescafe + Coffee-mate in Hazelnut

***PRESS SAMPLE*** --THIS ITEM WAS SENT TO ME AT NO CHARGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW-- Hello Coffee Lovers, You all know how much I love coffee, so of course I jumped at the chance to try something new. This was sent to me by Smiley360 for an honest review and here it is! I was sent the Hazelnut flavor. I am not a huge fan of this flavor so I was a little bummed when I opened the box. Now I can't remember if I was able to pick my flavor or not, I have had Hazelnut flavored things in the past that weren't bad. So I was excited to try it. Moving on! How do you use it? The directions are that of any other kind of instant coffee. In that you just add hot water. The cool thing about this is that the creamer/flavoring is already in it to it removes the need for a separate creamer.  How does it taste? Very sweet and Hazelnut-ty. Even though I don't care for Hazelnut this stuff was palatable. It doesn't have an overwhelming hazelnut taste like so many others do. It doesn...

Adela's Classics: Neutral Eyes and Red Lips

Hello again, Today's look is one of my favorites. The red lips are festive and perfect for this time of year. If you're short of time this will be great to get to out the door to your event. Here's how I achieved today's look... I usually would have applied my foundation, concealer, and brows before I start my eye shadows. Because I am using tape to help me achieve a nice edge to our shadows and liner I am going to apply the other products after my eyes are done. If you'd like to use the tape method, take a piece of scotch tape and apply it to the back of your hand several times to remove some of the tackiness. Then apply it to your face (in line with your lower lash line at an angle). Prime your lids with your favorite eye primer. Take a fluffy brush and apply a light to medium shadow from your crease up towards your browbone. I am using Soft Brown by MAC. This will serve as our transition color.  Using a crease brush and a dark brown shadow, I am usi...

Love me some Milani

Welcome back! Today I will be sharing some Milani products I love. Milani is a line that is farily new to me. I don't own a ton of products from this line but the ones I do own I am very happy with. Brow Products~ All of the brow products I use are from this line. Filling in my brows is a must. My brow hairs are sparse and much lighter than my hair so my face looks empty unless my brows are filled in. I use the Brow Shaping Clear Wax, which comes in a pencil. I fill my brows in with the Brow Fix Kit in Light. I use both shades in this kit. Then top with the Brow Shaping Clear Gel. I've used these products for quite some time now and am very pleased with the way they perform. Once I have my brows on they don't smudge or fade during the day. If you haven't checked out their brow products and are looking for something affordable, you should check them out! (Would you like to see a tutorial on how I fill in my brows?) Eye Shadows~ I had seen nu...
