Yep it’s the beginning of the month but this is my first ‘Favorite Things” Blog post so here it goes.

Social Media

I am working on my fledgling YouTube channel in relation to my business.My Chloe and Isabel jewelry business.  I am figuring it out as they say. It is entirely unboxing, and marketing videos.  I have a personal one but it is private only shared with my friends. If you want to take a look and subscribe to my fledgling channel visit here. I have found no real niche yet.

My Business Facebook page

My business, candiwithmarie.com also called Baubles Bangles and Beads on FB has a page on Facebook and I am looking for more people to hook into my page and like it.  So if you are so inclined please visit and like my page. Business has been slow and I know there are jewelry lovers out there so if you know someone who loves jewelry please send them my way

Beauty products

I have tried several beauty favorites in the last few months and here are some of my favorites.

Drops  of Youth Concentrate.

I’ve really just started using this a week ago and I am in love with it.  After cleansing  with The Body Shop Tea tree cleanser I tone with witch hazel and then apply this concentrated serum. It feels so good and tightens skin on my face and neck a  little.  It takes it’s technology from plant stem cells from Criste Marine and  beach bud extract and works to boost skin cell renewal. Good news!   It also contains Babassu oil which is fair trade.   I use this in conjunction with  drops of Youth eye concentrate cream serum and reduces the look of fine lines and bags.  IT rolls on with a metal ball which makes it easy to use on your eye bags and under eye lines. I love it and it feels great

Benefit Goof Proof Eyebrow pencil (in Dark Brown to Black – cool)

I LOVE this brow pencil.  You can’t mess it up!  My eyebrows tend to be sparce around the outside of them and I am told it is hormonal but nevermind that, this pencil works.  It has a beveled edge and a rounded edge for drawing in small hairs and to fill in the body of your brow. It’s quick, easy and simple.  And I adore the spoolly brush on the end. I highly recommend.

Body Shop  Tea Tree Mattifying lotion and Body Shop Flawless BB cream in Light.

.  My favorite foundation for a long while has been Younique Touch Mineral Foundation in Taffetta, however the summers are too hot here in Florida to wear this foundation.  At least, in my experience this is the case.  So I searched for an alternative.  I found one.  Body Shop Tea Tree Flawless BB cream in Light.  This BB cream offers skin clearing benefits but great lightweight  medium coverage which I love!    I apply the mattifying lotion first and allow to dry, then apply the BB cream.  It has kept my skin clear as well.  I am very happy with these products.

UNFAVORITES

Not your Mother’s Girl Powder Volumizing Hair Powder.

When I first got this stuff I loved it.  I went to use it the other day after a while of not using it and I sprinkled some on my hair  and  not only was it still sticky but the powder also turned BLUE!  What?!?!  Crazy right?  Well,  that crap got thrown away fast.

So that’s it for my favorites for this month. Hope you enjoyed.
