What's in my Shower

Hey girls! Today I am going to be sharing with you guys whats in my shower! All the products I'm going to be talking about have been purchased, and repurchased, and repurchased again! I really like to find great products and stick with them for a while. This way, I am able to give you guys accurate opinions on all my shower necessities. Lets get started!

From left to right:

Razor: Gillette Venus Embrace (disposable) - $7 for a two pack:

This is my favorite razor by far! It makes my legs so smooth and it stays like that for about 3 days! Also, for being a disposable, it has lasted longer than some of my normal razors. Definitely a shower staple!

Luffa: Bath and Body Works Shower Sponge - $3.50

I'm not too picky when it comes to Luffas, but I really do like this one from Bath and Body Works!

Shower Scrub: Bath and Body Works Glowing Body Scrub in Rio Rumberry - $12(?)

So, they recently changed the traditional shower scrub to a scrub/body wash, so I'm not positive if it is still the same price, but I'm pretty sure it's in that ballpark. Anyways, I love to use this before I shave, or even on a day that I don shave, to exfoliate and make my legs silky smooth. Side note: this product also has slight shimmer, to make your legs look "glowing".

Shower Gel: Bath and Body Works Shower Gel in Vanilla Berry- $11

Every time Bath and Body Works has their semi-annual sale, I tend to go a little crazy and collect a stock pile of products. Therefore, this scent is no longer available, but any of the other scents are fine. The formulation of their shower gels is fabulous and they lather very well. I only use their body washes. Clearly, I really like Bath and Body Works shower products, and well let's just be honest, all of their products...

Conditioner: Aussie 3 Minute Miracle - $3

This is by far the best conditioner I have ever used! It made my favorites for June and I am addicted! Last year, my hair was feeling very dry, so I decided to pick this up and I am never turning back! Just the smallest amount makes my thick, tangled, hair perfectly straight and smooth.

Shave Gel: Satin Care Shave Gel in Passionista Fruit - $2

Okay, I would be lying if I didn't say that I bought this because of the name... It's just so adorable! It's a great shave gel, and combining this with my razor and scrub, makes my legs look better than they ever have!

Not pictured:

Shampoo: Aussie Moist Shampoo - $3

I just ran out of this so that's why it wasn't in the picture. It is the perfect accompaniment to the 3 Minute Miracle and it really brings my hair back to life. A definite must have!

Thanks for reading!

How to: Perfect Liner

Winged liner is my favorite everyday look because, if done correctly, it can provide volume and thickness to the lashes without being too over the top. My favorite eyeliner is in the gel formulation and I am currently using the Loreal Lacquer Liner in 171 Blackest Black. I find that this is the easiest to apply and can give a clean line, which pencil can't. These three steps will help you achieve your best liner look yet!

Step 1: Use eyeliner brush (pointed or angled), to create a straight line (at your desired length), from the outer corner of your eye. (The straight teal line on the diagram)

Tip: To figure out what angle to create your line, imagine if you were continuing your natural lower lash line. Use that as your guide. 

Step 2: From the end of your top eyelid (not the end of the line you just drew), line your upper lash line to the inner tear duct. This is where you can decide how bold you want to go. The thicker the line, the more dramatic. (The dashed teal line on the diagram. Starting from the end of the eyelid) 

Tip: If you mess up while doing your eyeliner, use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean the desired area. That way, you don't have to start all over. 

Step 3: Finally, connect the line on your lid to the end of the wing, working your way outwards. That way, you will have a more precise tip to your eye liner.

Tip: Wait until eyeliner dries to apply eyeshadow, curl lashes, or apply mascara. This will prevent your perfect liner from smudging. But, if it does, refer to the second tip. 

BONUS Tip: If your gel eyeliner starts to dry out, pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to reheat the formula. Once it cools, it will be as good as new! (Make sure to remove any metal parts of the packaging before putting it in the microwave)

Hopefully, this tutorial helped you achieve a great liner look! Many people are intimidated by what appears to be the complexity of winged eyeliner. But, with 3 simple steps, it can be easier than you would think. Thanks for reading!
