What's in my makeup bag: Work

Hi everyone, I hope you've all had a good week so far. Today I am sharing my work makeup bag. In the past month or so I have been doing my makeup at work in the morning (to beat some morning traffic).  I pack my bag on Sunday night and it goes to work with me for the rest of the week. I have to be honest, because I am only taking a select group of products, my look is pretty much the same for the entire week. I wonder if any of my co-workers have noticed, haha. You wont be able to see from the stuff that I show you today but the only products that really change are my eye shadows and blush. Other than that, everything is the same. I am able to apply this makeup in about 20 minutes once I get there. Which is the perfect timing because I am able to get it done and put away before I need to clock in. Let's take a look at the products I had in my bag this week... First out of the bag is my plethora of brushes. One might ask if you really "need" all of these brushes an...

New Products: First Impressions & Mini Reviews

Hi everyone! Today I am going to share some new products. We all know how tempting it can be to snatch everything up when walking into the drugstore with all of the new and beautiful displays. I was browsing the aisles of CVS the other day and came across some pretty cool stuff. I decided to throw in another new product (to me) as well since we are on the "New Products" topic. So without further or due...I'll introduce you to the new kids on the block (and no I don't mean Donnie. lol) Wet n' Wild had a ton of new stuff out. 1 Step Gel Polishes, which I skipped because I have more than enough polishes and if I want gels, I am going to use the gel set I already own. A Setting Spray, I was going to get it but someone had tampered with the 2 left on the display and I was not about to buy one of those. New blushes, I skipped those too because I have enough blushes and they didn't seem like anything that special. I did not come across the ombre blushe...

Monthly Favorites: January

Hello everyone, Welcome back to another Monthly Favorites! I've got some good products to share this month so I will jump right into it! If this is your first time reading this kind of post, Welcome to The Adela Told Me Family! I am going to share a bit about each product with you and will link to it or something similar at the end of each product. Here we go... Favorite Candle: Vanilla Snowflake (BBW) Oh my Lord! This thing smells amazing! I don't recall owning this in the past and I kicking myself for not ordering more of these because it is that good! It is a creamy vanilla, with a hint of coconut. It's not overly sweet and unlike most vanilla scented candles, this thing is strong! but not headache-y strong. I love it. This love has since made it's way into my beauty room and I light her whenever I am going to be in there for a while because I don't want to burn through it too quickly. Unfortunately, this one is not available anymore. So I linke...
