    I did this same post last year, but we all know Breast Cancer is something that affects so many people. Why not do the most we can to give back.

    Unfortunately, I think it’s safe to say that we all probably know someone who has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and hopefully they have overcome their battle, but I know many have not. In any situation, you always wish there was something more you could do to help out.

    I’ve rounded up a few items that I felt were good products that also give back during the month of October. We all know y’all were going to go out and shop anyway, so why not do it at a few places that donate back to Breast Cancer Awareness? You can shop all the products here.

    brands that give back

    IT Cosmetics Love Beauty Full Love is the Foundation Brush – Price = $30.00

    For each one purchased during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, IT Cosmetics will donate one to the Look Good Feel Better Program, “to help women face the appearance-related side effects of cancer with confidence.”

    February Faves

    Good morning and happy Wednesday friends! My teams cheer season ended this past weekend, so now that I no longer have practice after work, I’ve realized I have a lot more free time. I’ve been using my new found free time to get some stuff done over at the condo before Robert moves in. Last night was spent taking the old shelf liners out of every drawer/cabinet. My mom came with me and started laying new lining down in the pantry.

    I’ve been meaning to write about some of my favorite products that I use on a daily basis. I’ve been hard core crushing on a few beauty products lately and felt like I should share with y’all what they were!

    IT COSMETICS Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ – $15-$38

    Ok, I didn’t used to wear this, but it’s a total game changer. This cream is perfect for covering up any discolored or splotchy looking skin. It eliminates any redness I might have and completely evens out my skin tone. I usually put this on before I put my concealer on so that my face is even. I love that it glides on so smooth and feels weightless all day! I apply it using a sponge I bought at Target (here). The only negative thing I will say is this (and this is a no brainer), wash your face and get all the makeup off your face before going to bed because you will get a pimple or two if you leave this on overnight! It comes in shades Fair to Deep giving you seven options to choose from. You can also test it out and buy the mini size in either Light or Medium. You can also find this cream at Macy’s.

    MAKE UP FOR EVER Pro Finish Multi-Use Powder Foundation – $37

    I have been using this powder FOREVER!!! I used to use a different powder, but found my skin was breaking out from it, so my hairdresser recommended this one a few years ago and I fell in love. The powder comes in 21 shades ranging from Pink Porcelain to Neutral Ebony. I vary between 115 Pink Ivory and 118 Neutral Beige depending on the time of year. This is a breakthrough multiuse formula that can be applied as a foundation or setting powder. It is super lightweight and doesn’t look cakey when applied!

    I use the MAC 150 brush when applying my powder. You can find the brush at:

    CLINIQUE Take The Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes & Lips – $9.50-$19

    I first purchased the travel size because I wasn’t sure if I would like it or not, but I did and went and bought the full size. This makeup remover is great because I don’t feel like it dries out my skin after I use it. It effortlessly dissolves longwearing makeup, even waterproof mascara. The Sephora website says that it is suitable for contact lens wearers and I 100% agree! It doesn’t irritate my eyes if I forget to take my contacts out before wiping away my eye makeup. I use these cotton rounds from Target to help get all the makeup off from my eyes and lips!

    TORY BURCH Love Relentlessly Perfume – $30-$118

    I actually bought this the day before my London trip because I ran out of perfume and was looking for something new to wear. I usually go towards more floral scents and this one is filled with Pink Pepper, Rose, Orris, and Sandalwood. Love Relentlessly captures the euphoric feeling of falling in love and the bottle is so pretty. This perfume comes in the roller size (perfect for traveling) and three other sizes that you spray on yourself.
