Best 12 of 2012

Hey everyone!
Today I will be sharing my top 12 favorite products for this year! These go in no particular order. Hope everyone has a wonderful 2013!

1. Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

There are so may different colors in this palette which adds so much versatility to any look.

 

2. Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Sin

As you all probably know, I love this eyeshadow! It's a perfect simple shade and so pretty and pigmented!

 

3. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Last Urban Decay product! But honestly, this is worth it! Without this, my eyeshadow would be long gone on my eyelids.

 

4. Maybeline Great Lash Mascaras

I'm kind of cheating here because I'm counting two products: the BIG version and the Lots of Lashes one. I really love both!

 

5. Fresh Supernova Mascara

With one coat of this, your eyelashes get nicely separated with a natural touch of black. Keep adding more coats to lengthen! I also love the formula!

 

6. Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment

I know, you all were waiting for me to say this. I can't seem to say it enough how amazing this product has been!

 

7. EOS Lip Balm "Summer Fruit"

This is a really nice lip balm. Although I find it not as buttery, I guess, or like thick as the Sugar Treatments, it definitely is deserving of a spot here.

 

8. CVS Pharmacy Targeted Acne Spot Treatment

Not only is this a favorite for this year, but also last year. It may not help you, but it certainly does for me!

 

9. Fresh Soy Face Cleanser

This is a really great relaxing cleanser and also very good for your skin too.

 

10. Tresemme Thermal Creations

Now I don't normally talk about hair products, but this hair protector is by far my favorite. It smells great and leaves your hair really soft and shiny.

 

11. nails inc. Magnetic Nail Polish: Whitehall

The magnetic affect really does work but that's not the only reason why I love this. It dries quickly, the brush isn't too big or too small so it doesn't allow a huge glob of nail polish or none at all.

 

12. B&BW Body Butter

I have Moonlight Path and Carried Away in body butter and love it. I find they're so moisturizing and they smell good too!

 

Again, hope you all have a wonderful year ahead! -Kait

My Christmas Decor

Hey everyone!
Along with beauty, reading, and writing, I also love to interior design. So I put these photos together of a few small areas in my room where I have some decorations. Normally I don't decorate my room, it's just the house decorations, but this year I decided to be a little more festive!

Hopefully this may give you some inspiration before the holidays hit! Some of these are self-explanatory, but I will talk about a few. First of all, in the top right I put out my holiday lotions from B&BW. Below that, I actually stuck that ornament into that little tree. In that white dish there used to be bracelets, but I filled it with silver and gold themed candies-Hershey Kisses and Rollos. I don't know where any of this stuff is from- wait... The sparkly silver Christmas tree I got at Walgreens last year for $1! But the stockings I received and the Christmas tree my mom gave me. And obviously, the lotions are from B&BW!

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday! Talk to you soon!

TAG: Winterlicious

Hey everyone!
So I was tagged by Grace from Preppy on the West Coast to do this tag, and I thought how fun would this be! Enjoy!

1. Favorite Winter Nail Polish?

I have been loving nails inc. 'The Boltons' and I have a NOTD post for it.

 

2. Favorite Winter Lip Product?

For me, it has to be a lip balm. Especially when it's the Fresh Sugar kind.

 By now, you all probably know about my obsession. But trust me, they are amazing.

 

3. Most Worn Clothing Piece?

Sweaters/Cardigans! I wear sweaters and cardigans all the time. I have been wearing

 my LOFT Cardigan a lot, it's a heavy material but still fits lightly and I love it! I also

have an Abercrombie sweater that's a size bigger and a thicker material too.

 

4. Most Worn Winter Accessory?

One word: UGGS. Where I live, my feet feel frozen when I wear

other shoes. They're just so comfy, cute, and warm!

 

5. Favorite Winter/Candle Scent?

My mom doesn't trust me with candles, haha, probably smart, but I have been using

B&BW Vanilla Bean Noel and love the scent!

 

6. Favorite Winter Beverage?

I have been drinking tea about every morning, but I also love this Candycane

Cocoa Mix my mom got.

 

7. All Time Favorite Christmas/Holiday Movie?

To be honest, I don't watch a lot of Christmas movies, nor do I have a favorite.

But I'll just be my obsessive weird side for a moment and say The Hunger Games. :)

 

8. Favorite Christmas/Holiday Song?

Hmmm.... any of the originals like Frosty the Snowman or Winter Wonderland. It gets me into the spirit more than the modern twist of the songs.

 

9. Favorite Holiday Food Treat?

Angel Pie. Third favorite food. I don't know if it is a family recipe but it's so good!

10. What is your favorite decoration this year?
In my room, I hung 4 little stockings on my headboard which I love. I will probably
do a post showing you all what I did to my room!

11. What Tops Your Christmas Wishlist This Year?
A Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC in soft gray! And I got one... because I may have, may have not, looked at a Christmas box with a SHIP FROM: REBECCA MINKOFF.... oops?

12. What are your plans for the holidays this year?
What I do every year! I spend time with my family and it's so fun. :)

I TAG ALL OF YOU.

NOTD: nails inc. 'The Boltons'

Hey girls!

I feel like my posting has not been going well, I have been very busy and I'm super sorry about that. But, I wanted to share the current nail polish I'm wearing that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE. Here's the link, and as of writing this (which will be a few minutes before I post it) it's sold out! Hey, at least you know I'm telling the truth, haha. This is a rich red with lighter red sparkles. It came across a little orange in the picture to your left, but it can in some lighting. I was at the orthodontics an hour ago and it came across berry. You can see it a little better in the other picture from Sephora (linked above). I really love nails inc. and highly recommend this nail polish, especially for the holidays! I think I am just going to keep painting my nails this color for the entire December.

Christmas Wishlist!

Hey Everyone!
As you can tell from the title, I'll be sharing what I want for Christmas this year. I have a few specific things I like to get, but I also tell my mom to surprise me! I have a Christmas Wishlist on my other blog for books. In general, I ask for beauty products and clothes. I will not receive all of these things, and my mom (she does the shopping) may change out one thing with a different beauty product or something. Anyways, here's the list:

 

 

~Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC

~iPhone 4S White

~LUSH: Mrs. Frosty Gift Set

~The Hunger Games Collector's Edition

~The Hunger Games Nail Polish

~Skylark by Elle and Blair Palette

~Fresh: Sugar Perfection Duo

~Fresh: Soy Face Cleanser (and/or)

~Fresh: Skin-Savers Kit

~PB Teen Wall Plank (Laugh)

 

 

I really want a Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC because I have a really large tote, and then a few small bags. Some are from Vera Bradley, and I have one wristlet from Coach. I figure that if I do get this, I will use it so much and keep it for as long as it live, which may be as long as I live, haha.

I also want a new phone, specifically the iPhone. My dad has one, my brother has 2 iTouches (one of them the screen is missing, so even if he did give it to me, I wouldn't do much with it, and he still uses it), and my mom has an iPad. I have an iPod nano, lol. I got it in fourth grade and it has a bunch of other songs on it and stuff, so I never really use it. You may see now why I want an iPhone. My phone is also due for an upgrade this month. :)

For the LUSH goodies, I haven't tried LUSH out and I really want to! Especially the bath bombs!

The Hunger Games=<333333333333 times 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.... (get the point?) plus Nail Polish= <3 and when you put them together <3333!

I feel as though I don't have to explain my obsession (with THG) and the Fresh Sugar Lip Balms and products. So yeah.

As some of you know, I am also obsessed with YouTube, and of course, I watch Elle and Blair! I have been watching them for a long time (ish) and wanted to support them in a way other than watching all their videos!

For the PB Teen thing, I have been wanting this for what feels like forever, and so I just decided to ask for it for Christmas!

Let me know what your asking for for your holiday in the comments!
