beauty buzz.

i get emails and comments asking what beauty products i use, so i thought i'd share my beauty picks!

1) makeup
i am a self-proclaimed MAC addict.  it was hard for me to find foundations/powders that matched my skin tone and i finally found the perfect match at MAC.  from there i ended up loving pretty much everything else!  for a casual everyday look i use studio tech, powder, blush, mascara, and a little gloss.  i didn't picture all of my lip products as most of them are floating around in my handbags!

2) skin
for skin products i love aveeno.  their products are affordable and you can buy them at any drug store!

3) hair
i spent most of my teenage years trying to tame my curls and finally found that chi products work best for me.  i also love using chi heating tools - their blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons are the best!

4) nails
in college i quickly found out that a $40 bi-weekly mani/pedi was out of my budget, so i learned how to do my own nails.  to this day i always do my own nails and try to keep them short, manicured, and painted.  clearly i have an obsession with opi polishes:
