A few of my favorite things beauty edition

Thanks to my mother, I have a great appetite for good beauty products, skin care being of utmost importance because I refuse to ever get any kind of injections, shots, nips, tucks, surgery, ect of any kind so I'm hoping these anti-wrinkle creams at age 24 actually work. The other day I was on the phone with her and she said "Megan, I almost just died...I'm in a REAL Chanel store and guess what I just found and I'm dying to get!" My obvious reaction was "SHUT UP! Did Bill buy you a Chanel handbag as your wedding gift?!!" as to which she answered "Heavens no, I don't care about a handbag, they had a $400 face cream I almost died over!" Typical, I thought. She's dying over face creams and I'm dreaming of black leather Chanel satchels. However, in her defense we all know she'll just run to Ebay and buy the samples...


On that note, one of my favorite things in the world to do is to go to someone else's house and use all of their beauty products. So to entice you to come to my house and stay with us, I'll give you a preview of what's waiting for you in my bathroom...

Moroccan Oil. Our hairdresser, Bryan at Wilsons on Washington introduced my mom to this. You put about a dime amount in your hair when it's wet and blow dry (great for dry hair like ours!) I also put it on like lotion-it smells AMAZING-you just can't resist. (Around $35)

Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths Shampoo and Conditioner. My brother in law's girlfriend, and one of my best friends, Nikki introduced me to this. Her hair was seriously growing like a weed and always smells amazing! After our wedding I got impulsive and chopped off my hair, and then realized I am not a fan of my hair being short so I got on the mission to grow it as fast as possible, and this works like a charm! (around $4.69)



Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy "Sleep" bubble bath.
Just consider this Heaven in a bottle. My sister introduced me to this, and I've been in love ever since. Everyone in my family knows this is a go-to gift for me. When my grandfather passed away last year, my then-fiance, Blake got me a bath robe and a bottle of this so I could sleep...it was the sweetest gift I've ever been given, and it made me love this stuff even more.



Philosophy's Amazing Grace shower gel. Ok so this one is not actually in my bathroom at the monent, but it doesn't mean I don't want it any less than the others. (around $22)


Obagi Skincare. Ok here is the 5, yes FIVE step system I go through every night and morning. I know it's a little outrageous, but I actually kind of enjoy it at this point. (too expensive-it was my big Christmas gift!)

Aveeno Stress Reliever Lotion. Literally THE BEST lotion I've come across. It is the only one that keeps me moisturized, and it smells amazing! (around $8.50)

Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner. I wear mine in Graphite Shimmer. It's the one step in make-up that makes me come to life. I literally have no eyes without eyeliner, and this stays on all day! (around $22)

Nars "Laguna Beach" Bronzing Powder. Ok last, but certainly not least this is hands down the BEST bronzer, and it works on EVERYONE (even pale little ME!) I LOVE it! (around $35)



Enjoy!
