You Better Work! My Fave Beauty Products

I like beauty products... A LOT. I am always on the lookout for the new latest and greatest product out there. Moisturizers, shampoos, lip gloss, tweezers. You name it, I've investigated it. Although my hunt is far from over, I have found some key pieces for my beauty regime and I just had to share.

BOSCIA BB CREAM
I found this BB Cream about a year ago when a sample was thrown into my Sephora
sample bag and it was love at first try. If I had to choose one makeup product to take
on a deserted island, this bad boy would be it. It is amazing!

RESCUE BEAUTY BLACK RUSSIAN NAIL POLISH
This polish is perfect for winter. Both edgy and festive. I just ordered
a new bottle yesterday and am not so patiently waiting for it to arrive.

WOW! I have fine hair. It's been a huge issue for me since home perms went
out of style in middle school (which I'm thinking about bringing back). No matter
what the style, cut, whatever, I just can never get the fullness and texture in my hair.
Until now. It's pricey but worth every penny.

I used to think I would never find a face wash that I loved. Thank you
Kiehl's for proving me wrong. The Blue Gel Cleanser is great with my
oily skin and it feels like a burst of energy on your face.

SEPHORA WATERPROOF JUMBO LINER
So many colors to choose from and Sephora keeps adding more. I have
5 colors and use them on an almost daily basis. I know it's supposed to be
used as an eyeliner, but sometimes I layer it up to create an eyeshadow look.
The best part is that it stays without smearing or smudging.


P.S. CoCo Designs' 25 Days of Christmas series is just around the corner. Be on the lookout for some kick ass Christmas good stuff starting December 1st!

You Better Work! Dresses

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN
I'm not so patiently waiting for the day when I can afford and wear all of the dresses of my dreams. Every season, my favorite designers taunt me with their new creations and I realize I've missed yet another season of glam. I figured out a plan, though. 1. Win Powerball. 2. Live in a city where Tevas with socks and pajama bottoms aren't an acceptable item to be worn in public. Will it happen? Can a small town girl's dream come true. I believe so. Positive thoughts. Positive thoughts.

In the meantime, I have the pictures and my blog. Next best thing, right? Oh, and I know I have a lot of Alexander McQueen dresses, but we all know McQueen is one of my favorites. I can't help it. Stop yelling at me!

You Better Work! Shoes

I think it's safe to say that fashion and interior design go hand in hand. At least, for me they do. Both are about individual style, taste and a way to express yourself. If we can't be ourselves, what's the point?

With that said, here goes a new series on my little old blog, "You Better Work!". If you aren't familiar with the phrase, you should brush up on your 90's pop culture trivia (ahem, RuPaul!). Work it, girl!
