BEA-utiful part 2

Hello all!
   I meant to get to this sooner but since it's been awhile I'm going to go over a couple different products in one post that I've come to adore as of recent.

These suckers are amazing. Nike Pro Women's shorts. Most of the running shorts I work out in are lined with those awkward "underwear" things but I still wear underwear with my shorts so I've tried different cuts to find what is most comfortable and such. These can be worn by themselves but with BYU standards at the gym I workout in, I have to be a bit more modest so I just wear these under whatever shorts I'm wearing when I go. I love them because unlike other underwear I have tried, they don't ride up, roll up, or fall down. They're comfortable, flattering, and move with you exactly how they should. I started with one pair and now have 4 of 5 so I can always have a pair handy for they gym. Bonus: I get these at Sports Authority or Dicks sporting goods and there is almost ALWAYS a pair on the sales/clearance rack (especially at SA). LOVE these.

Another product I've tried recently is Big Sexy's dry shampoo. This stuff is pretty darn good. I've heard others raving about dry shampoo for a quick post work out clean up or even just to stretch time between showers if you're in a hurry or trying to give your hair a bit of a break. You just spray it in, let it sit for a minute or so, then brush it out. It absorbs the oils and adds a bit of volume to your hair leaving it clean and ready to go. Your hair should probably be at least dry though when you apply ;) Any one else have any luck with dry shampoos? This is the first I've tried so I'd love to hear of other brands that work well or better :)

Finally, this moisturizer. It's sooooooo good :) it's super light and doesn't feel greasy at all on your face. you can lather on as much as you want and it just leaves your face feeling fresh. I'd say more on it but that pretty much sums up it's goodness. Try it. love it. 

B-E-A-utiful.

People who give workout advice often suggest a reward system so that you can treat yourself as you progress through stages towards your end goal. For me, I normally like to treat myself with any form of frozen creamy goodness- milkshakes, smoothies, fruit bars, fro yo, or straight up ice cream. These are all sugary and somewhat defeat the purpose of working out SO I have tried to find new ways to reward myself that are more conducive to the lifestyle changes I'm making. That being said, I have discovered some great products that I wanted to share with everyone. I was going to do these all in one post but decided that would be a LONG post haha. so we'll call this a mini series for now. Stay posted!
I have never been a lipstick wearer, in fact it's still a newer thing for me. However, there is something to be said for a rockin shade of lipstick. It's a great way to polish off an outfit. Elizabeth Taylor put it well when she said, "Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together". Whether you feel like a mess or not, lipstick helps pull everything together. This is by far my favorite lipstick I've tried so far-

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Rasberry Pie

It's as good as it sounds. A lot of lipsticks just make me feel like I have chalk on my lips (ok, maybe not THAT bad- but bad). This is really moisturizing and almost feels like a good chapstick BUT there is the coverage that should be expected from a lipstick and the colors are oh so fantastic. I have this in Candy Apple which is a coral-y kind of red, Rasberry Pie which is just a darker pink, and Berry Smoothie which is a more natural looking lip color. While moisturizing lipstick has a rep for not lasting as long, the first two colors I mentioned are bolder and tend to stain my lips a bit so after it's faded a bit of lip gloss helps keep the look going longer. These are great and I plan on getting more of them to add to my growing collection.

What lipsticks have you tried and loved? I'm still a newbie with this and would love to hear what's worked for you!
