Hey Beauties!

As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I haven’t been posting much. As much as I love blogging and sharing my personal style with everyone, it’s always something I’ve done in my spare time. And right now, I just don’t have any!

I don’t want to produce anything less than amazing, but right now I just simply don’t have the time. I’ll be back one day — but until then, keep in touch and follow me on Twitter @weheartbeautyy!

Thank you to everyone who has supported We Heart Beauty from the beginning. I love you all!

See you soon! & as always…

Hey Beauties!

I trust you all had a fun and splendid NY Fashion Week! I was lucky enough to attend the Blogger’s Night Out event & got a great gift bag. I’ve been busy reviewing several products from it, so look out for those posts this week!

Looking through my past entries, I can’t believe I’ve never posted an outfit with my favorite cardigan! My dark gray Kensie ruffle cardigan is a staple in my wardrobe. Every time I need something girlie but not too structured (which is almost always), I throw this on.

Do you have a go to cardigan?

Cardigan: Kensie
Scarf: Calvin Klein
Dress: Forever 21
Tights: Hue
Boots: Square One
Purse: Louis Vuitton

Hey Beauties! So, I finally got a chance to use my Sephora gift card that I got this Christmas. And it was about time — I ran out of my favorite cover up recently, and it’s been a rough couple of weeks without it, lol.

As I’ve said before, Dior Skin’s Flash Radiance Booster Pen (whoa long name!) is my absolute favorite cover up. It hides my imperfections so perfectly without looking heavy or cakey. I put it on in front of my roomie (who is a boy, hehe) and he was so amazed at how it didn’t even look like I had make up on! Impressive.

I also bought myself a mini Sephora brand nail polish for only $4. I left most of my colors back in California over Christmas break, and the only one I have here is hot pink. So I decided to get a dark grey, just in time for Blogger’s Night Out! What do you think?

The last thing I got was actually a sample! I’m so happy because normally I don’t get samples when I purchase in store. I usually only get them when I purchase online. I was happily surprised when the sales lady gave me Clinique’s “High Lengths Mascara.” The applicator is unlike anything I’ve used before. It’s curved, and the bristles are only on one side and very tiny:

I’ve only tried it out one time, but I really like it so far! I’ll do a full review after I’ve used it more than once.

So, ladies, that’s about it for today! I hope everyone is having a fun and fabulous New York Fashion Week so far :) I can’t wait to head into the city for Blogger’s Night Out tomorrow night with my favorite male blogger, Mac of DailyMister.com! Until then…

When it comes to skin care, I am very particular. For most of my life I had terrible eczema and couldn’t use many drugstore brands. My skin was always dry, especially on my face. Now that I am older, my eczema is (thankfully) completely under control. Now I have to be careful not to over moisturize, for fear that it will cause breakouts.

I research every product before I purchase it, trying to see if it has any patents or if it has won any awards. And I won’t spend my money on anything expensive unless I know it’s worth every penny. These are my current favorite products that have made the cut:

Skincare Essentials (from left to right): Vaseline, Deep Clean Cream Cleanser, Hydra Life Sorbet Creme, Acne Spot Treatment, Continuous Control Cream Cleanser, and Advanced Night Eye Repair.

I’m always a fan of anything that can be used in more ways than one, and Vaseline is perfect for not only my chapped lips, but also for removing my stubborn eye makeup.  

I never fully understood how easy it was so get rid of my blackheads until I discovered the Deep Clean Cream Cleanser. I wash my face with this cleanser every evening to rid of all the impurities that build up on my face throughout the day. When I have really stubborn blackheads, I’ll leave the cleanser on problem spots for about 1 minute before washing off. It works every time! See my full review here.

I can honestly say that I’ve never found a moisturizer that smooths my skin perfectly in a drug store. When I splurged on Dior’s Hydra Life Sorbet Creme, it was completely worth it. See my full review here.

Whenever I have a stubborn pimple or two, the Acne Spot Treatment makes sure it is completely gone as soon as possible. I’ll put it on after I cleanse my face in the morning and see improvement by the time I cleanse my face at night. By day 3, my skin is completely clear. Talk about a magical treatment!

I use this acne cleanser in the morning so it can fight breakouts all day. The creamy formula doesn’t strip away my skin’s natural oils, but does make sure that my acne is gone. See my full review here.

When I had eczema, it was mainly under my eyes. This left me with dark circles that have plagued me since I was 10. Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Eye Repair was a finalist in the CEW Awards 2011, already helping prove it’s worth. The serum can be applied both day and night, and has helped lighten by dark circles in addition to smoothing away fine lines.

Hope you have a great weekend, beauties! And as always…

Winter is a wonderful season because I can reinvent a dress by simply throwing a sweater over it! However, I don’t own any over sized sweaters. Most of mine are form fitting, so they look ridiculous if I try to layer them over anything. So, for the sake of fashion, my boyfriend allowed me to borrow his sweater :) 

Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend, beauties! As always…
