Favorite Beauty Products by rebecca-iverson featuring a curling mascara

I don't talk too much about beauty products unless they are really, really good.  These are so good that they deserve to be shared.  I received a sample of Urban Decay eye primer (Eden) as a gift with purchase and now I can't live without it!  The same goes with the Living Proof line of hair products.  I use almost everything from the volume line and love them.  Everything here is fantastic!  

I would love to know what products you can't live without.

Color Inspiration: Shades of Blackberry

pinterest

When I think of the best crossover inspiration from summer to fall, I think of blackberries.  They are gorgeous and in season right now but their color foreshadows the changing season.  The color is beautifully dramatic and a bit old world.

shades of blackberry by rebecca-iverson featuring modern home decor

I will definitely be incorporating this rich shade into my life now with blackberry nail polish and a few accents for my home.  

What do you think?  Are you loving it?

NeuLash

I'm thinking that most of you out there have used a product like neuLash before, but if you haven't you need to check it out!  I have had wonderful results with this product.  As a teenager, I had amazing eyelashes and I have noticed through the years they gradually lost length and thickness.  I am thrilled that there is now a product that can re-capture what I once had naturally.  I posted a photo on Instagram and NeuLash regrammed it (as you can see in the above image).

I got my neuLash through Amazon but nordstrom.com is also a good source. 

Remember to do your research on side-effects.  I didn't have any myself, but it is good to be aware if you decide to use a product like this.  

Happy Monday to you! 

Top 7 Sephora Picks

Sunday Riley moisturizing mask / Fresh lip treatment / Living proof haircare / Urban Decay beauty product / Clinique paraben free lipstick / MAKE UP FOR EVER pencil eye liner / Pink Sugar Body Mousse

Happy Thursday! Today I thought I'd share a handful of my favorite products from Sephora.
 First up is my new favorite hair product, from Living Proof.  I got this as a sample and fell in love with it the first time I used it.  A dime sized amount goes a long way, and does a lot to add texture and body to hair.
Second is Almost Lipstick from Clinique in Black Honey.  I have been using this stuff for as long as I can remember; it's my go to color, and I am pretty sure it is universally flattering.  It looks really dark in the tube, but goes on the perfect shade.
Third up is my favorite eye liner, by Make Up Forever.  This pencil has staying power, smudges beautifully (if you want it to), and lasts all day.
Good Genes is another sample I got from Sephora and fell in love with.  It is ridiculously priced, and not something I would normally splurge on, but one of my Valentine's Day presents was a gift card from my guy, and there's enough left on it to make this one last purchase.
Urban Decay's make-up setting spray is also a newer purchase; it helps control shine and it sets your make-up pretty nicely.  This product makes me want to start trying other face mists- any suggestions?
Fresh's Sugar lip gloss in rose is also a favorite- who doesn't love this subtle coral color that looks good on everyone whose ever tried it?!
Last up is a find that I got at Marshalls- we got it a small tub of it for under $5 and my daughter loves it.  It is a really good lotion, and it smells really good.  Like makes me want cotton candy and gummy bears good.  And even though we found it at Marshall's, it's available at Sephora.
So those are just some of the products that I am loving right now, all from Sephora.  Some are long time faves, and some are new discoveries.
Any of your favorites on my list?  Any new discoveries or good old stand-bys that I should know about?

Favorite Beauty Finds

Happy Labor Day everyone!  Today I plan to finish sewing a few curtain panels and maybe get a pedicure followed by a nice family dinner.
When I was thinking about my post for today I was remembering that recently I have purchased a few beauty items that I absolutely love, so I thought I would share those with you:

This mascara ("There're Real" by benefit) has quickly become a favorite.  It lengthens and thickens in a major way without looking clumpy.

This is with a one coat application! Not bad at all.

Fresh lip treatment / Amazon.com: the Balm Stainiac Tinted Gel Blush, Beauty Queen: Beauty
The combination of stain and tinted balm is the best.  The stain alone is a bit drying but top it with this creamy balm (Lori turned me onto Sugar Rose and I am sooo grateful) and it just can't get any better for everyday wear.
Last but not least:

Sephora.com

I'm probably the last one on Earth to realize how amazing this product is: Use in on skin, hair and cuticles to moisturize.  It is 100 percent organic and is anti-aging as well as a healing treatment.  This is a must buy.

I would love to hear from you about your favorite, must have, beauty products!

Hair Day

Finally today I am getting my hair cut!  It has gotten ridiculously long and limp looking.  It needs a major trim and shaping, but should I do something more drastic?  I know from experience that I can't go too short (soccer mom city) and I think my color needs a little kick but nothing high maintenance.  Here are a few dream hair inspirations of mine!

This cut on Gwyneth is so pretty.  I might try this at some point but I think that I should have a more interesting hair color to make it work.

I think these highlights are really gorgeous.

This is really my dream hair color.  It doesn't look colored at all just perfectly naturally sun kissed.

If I was up for more in the way of maintenance, I would jump at this golden strawberry shade!  It is so perfect.

I'm not sure what I will end up with today but I'm excited to have a change.
