December Favorites

My first Favorites of the month. Yay!  For those of you who don’t know what this is, monthly favorites - e.i. January Favorites, February Favorites - I’ll tell you. They are your most loved items you have purchased or received this month. It was pretty hard to narrow down my list with Christmas recently passing. Even though it was a tough choice, I’m pretty eager about my items for December.


I absolutely love this palette! I’ve never really been big on eye shadows but this definitely changed my mind. The shadows are pigmented and shows up beautifully yet subtle on my skin tone. Even though was it was a little pricey, I can honestly say I have used every single shadow, so it was worth it. I now use this in my everyday makeup routine.
If you follow me on Snapchat or Twitter, you know I have a new love for candles - I snap and tweet about them all the time. I heard about the Volupsa brand through Taz’s Angels - they recommended it on their social media. I must say, I am obsessed with my new candle and the brand! Voluspa candles are made of coconut wax that are in specially designed glass holders that can be used again when the candle completely burns - or at least I will. They are long lasting candle with unique scents - not just the standard vanilla or linen type of scents. The 16 oz. candle has a 100-hour burn time. The “Yashioka Gardenia” is my go-to scent for my bedroom.  It has a soft yet floral scent that is definitely a mood changer. I have couple on my list I want to get next.


A heeled over-the-knee boot under $200, of course I had to purchase this! “Gorgeous” was so hard to find because it’s identical to the “Highland” by Stuart Weitzman boot which is retailed at almost $800 - Kourtney Kardashian is rocking the “Highland” in the photo above. I love my super comfy alternative choice. My favorite thing about this boot is the suede material instead the typical tall, leather boot. I think it makes it more chic - tall leather boots can off trashy to me.  The one downfall about this boot is that it runs extremely big. Other than that, this one of my favorite purchases this month.


Finding new beauty products is always great. Finding new beauty products that WORK is even better. My pores were feeling super clogged and I wanted a mask to just deep cleanse my face. Freeman is a great drugstore brand. I have a few other masks by this brand that works really well, too. I love Freeman’s line of facial masks which all under $5!



Hello, my name is Krista and I am addicted to new office supplies! Getting a new planner is major motivation to get organized for the New Year. These adorable planners have matching notebooks and calendars too. I have HUGE handwriting so extra space in this planner comes in handy. Along with the extra lines on the weekly pages, there are additional “Notes” lines - I use them to list my goals for the week. Paper Sugar is very affordable so I also bought a wall calendar.

Like I said earlier, I was never into eye makeup until I bought my MAC Warm Neutral Palette. I needed some eye shadow brushes to use to learn new techniques . Turns out, I like these brushes better than a couple of MAC brushes I have. They pick up product really well and come with a nice travel case and stand for when you'e on the go. 


What are your favorite purchases this month?
