Fashion and Beauty Wishlist| June 2017

This month I have fallen in love with several fashion and beauty items and I have officially added them to my wishlist for 2017. I normally keep this list private, but I decided to share it with all of you! If you all enjoy this I will continue it! So please remember to leave a comment letting me know! 

First up is jump suits! I blame Mrs. Cassie Rae and Brittany Sjoren for this recent obsession. The one they are both obsessed with is this jumpsuit from the Loft. Doesn't it look super comfy?! I would wear this everyday! It is actually on sale right now for 50% off!





Second is the Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel. Ok I have to be honest here...this has been on my wishlist for FOREVER! I just always forget about it until the summer time or I watch MakeupbyTiffanyD. She always mentions. I have swatched this product and OMG it is AMAZING! I always talk myself out of this product because it is a cream product. Cream face products scare me. I am determined to buy this item this year! 


OMG this next fashion item will soon by mine! I am OBSESSED with slides! I remember seeing my older brothers with the COOLEST Adidas slides and I wanted them SOOO bad. I still want the Adidas slides, but this Aldo  slide is so pretty! I love that they have classed up a super comfy shoe. 



Finally, is the Urban Decay NAKED Heat palette! I have the original palette and to be honest...I never use it. I know shame on me...but this palette I will definetly use! The warm tones are just screaming my name! I will have this item by the end of the summer! 



Ok y'all that is all for tonight! Everything you see in gold is a link. Some links are connected with Magic Links meaning I am an affiliate with them and I get some commission if you purchase anything using the links.

Sensetive Teeth| At Home Whitening

I am a huge fan of coffee, sweet iced tea and red wine! Pretty much everything that stains your teeth...so when Smile Brilliant reached out to me I jumped on the opportunity. I tried this at home kit and fell in love! This kit is so awesome because you have to wear teeth whitening trays instead of strips. You are free to whatever you want while wearing them! You can wear them for 1-3 hours and I chose to wear mine for 1 hour and I had amazing results!

I decided I would share with you 10 things I did while I whitened my teeth! So here we go!

1. Do a whole face of make up
2. Listened to the Lady Gang Podcast from PodcastOne.
3. Made dinner
4. Did a Power Hour (cleaned my house for an hour)
5. Read a book
6. Watched Orange is the New Black
7. Worked on this blog!
8. Edited a video
9. Walked the dogs
10. Do absolutely NOTHING

You guys this whitening kit is so cool! You can't even tell you are wearing teeth trays. The company was awesome and gave me two coupon codes for you!


Coupon Codes:

**Save $15 off any tray creation kit use code: ambeautylife15
**Or save 5% off anything on the website use code: amdixonbeauty5

** These are affilate links and I will get a commission if you use them.

Below are before and after photos and as you can see I got amazing results! Please let me know if you will pick up this kit!

June Monthly Goals

Holy cow! How is it June??!! It is officially the summer now. I know I have not been consistent with sharing my goals, but I have been writing them down in my notebook!So that is something right?? Lets jump right into my personal goals!

 Personal Goals June 2017
  1. Be consistent with my goals. Keep track of them and stay true to me
  2. Write in my gratitude journal daily and be honest.
  3. Try to meal prep
  4. No sugar after 8:00pm
  5. Daily walks with dogs
  6. Try to make a few vegan/vegetarian meals! 
  7. Budget 
I feel like all of those goals are achievable! To be honest though I am nervous for the no sugar after 8:00pm. I start to crave Captain Crunch around 9:30pm every night...so we shall see! I am actually excited to make vegan/vegetarian meals. I have always wanted to be a vegan, but my love for cheese is too real! So I try to make vegan meals here and there!

I am always nervous to share my side hustle goals because I am human and sometime venture off my set path. I have already implemented some of my goals and I have seen results! Here are my side hustle goals!
  1. Grow on my Instagram! I started with 352 and I want to end the month with 500. I am currently at 405(though this might have changed...I lose followers like crazy)
  2. Post videos on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday
  3. Post blogs on Monday and Friday( maybe with a few Wednesday post)
  4. Pre-film four videos a week
  5. Pre-blog at least one blog a week
  6. Do at least one collab video (already in the works!)
  7. Meet with the local bloggers here in town! 
I feel like all of these are achievable as well! I just need to buckle down and do it! The month has just started and I am already seeing results. I know only having 405 followers on Instagram isn't much, but to me it is a HUGE accomplishment! I have been meaning to meet with Lily from http://www.beautywithlily.com/ for months now. So, Lily if you are reading this lets make it happen!

Well there are my goals! I hope you liked them. Let me know what your goals are in the comments below.

As always, Have a Beauty Filled Day!

My Make Up Collection| ColourPop Super Shock Shadows Neutrals| Part One

I am sure by now most of you have heard of ColourPop. It has taken the beauty world by storm. I remember hearing about ColourPop from CoffeebreakwithDani around three years ago. Back than Colourpop only made Super Shock Shadows. I was hooked from day one!

After looking at my collection I have decided to make a Colourpop Super Shock Shadow series on my blog where I swatch ever single Super Shock Shadow I own and tell you about it. I figured the best way to start this series is with my favorite neutrals. So grab a snack and cuddle up in a blanket because here we go!!

First lets start with MY FAVORITE Colourpop shadow ever and that shadow is Game Face. The Colourpop site describes Game Face like this:
  • " Prepare to get rowdy with an Ultra-Metallic rich copper" Game Face is in the Ultra-metallic finish category and is considered a orange/coral shade category
I consider that description to be quite accurate. I should mention that Colourpop is hands down the best at great product descriptions. Here is my own personal descriptions of Game Face:
  • Super rich creamy liquefied penny. Your go to shadow all October long.
I seriously tell people this. Not joking. Game Face is the CREAMIEST (yes I hate this word as well) Super Shock Shadow ever! It is literally what I think heaven feels. You can wear Game face alone or with a nice deep chocolate brown in the crease. If you decided to buy just one thing from this blog I HIGHLY recommend you get Game Face. You know where I am going with this...it is a GAME CHANGER haha 

I just noticed that the next shadow I am about to mention is one of my least favorite shadows. But when this shadow was released the swatches were to die for! The next shadow is Nillionaire. Here is how Colourpop describes it:
  • "You'll be looking rich in this bronze with pink and gold Ultra Glitter" Nillionaire is in the Ultra-Glitter finish category and is considered a gold in the shade category
Once again quite accurate but her is my description:
  • The best bronzee pink shadow that will deepen any summer look
Since this shade is an Ultra-Glitter finish you know what means....the dreaded...FALL OUT. I do not use this shadow because of the fall out and I have thought about getting rid of it. I have ruined several make up looks because of this shadow. If you are fine with applying your foundation after you do your eyes by all means purchase this shadow, but if you are like me and prefer to apply your foundation first this shadow may give you a few headaches.

So this next shadow was originally a holiday only shade but it was such an amazing shade they decided to listen to their customers and bring this shade back as a permanent shadow. The next shadow is La La  and here is the description from the Colourpop site:
  •   "Fa la la la la - la la - ka ching: an ultra-glittery soft copper" La La is in the Ultra-Glitter finish category is considered a Pinks and gold shade
I love the Fa la la part because it came out during the holiday season. My description is:
  • The best mixture of copper and rose gold! 
Yes that simple. It is the BEST rose gold shade. This is why this shadow is a best seller...it is perfect! This shadow is a glittery shadow but it does not have fall out! So not all Ultra-Glitters have fall out just a few.



Ok y'all we are now going to talk about my second favorite Colourpop shadow and EVERY time I share this shadow I have several people comment "I need that shadow in my life"!  Sequin from Colourpop is a BEAUTIFUL shadow. Colourpop made one of the best descriptions for this shadow:
  • " A rosy penny copper with multi-dimensional Ultra-Glitter finish. Find a boy, pick him up, all day long You'll get good.... "Sequin is in the Ultra-Glitter finish and is considered a Pinks and gold shade
 Yup. I told you. It is amazing! My description will do no justice to this. But I will try:
  • A pink rose dipped in gold Tinker Bell fairy dust.
 Yup. That was nothing compared to Colourpops'. I tried. You may be wondering what is the difference between La La and Sequin and the answer is La La is more golden and Sequin is has a deeper pink. Both are amazing with no fall out!

Next up is Boy Band!
  • " No one will tell you “Bye, Bye, Bye” in this Ultra-Metallic red copper" Boy Band is in the Ultra-Metallic finish and is considered a neutrals shade
The best boy band ever was N'SYNC, so I find this description to be AMAZING! I would describe it this way
  • Copper red magic! 
This one is similar to Game Face but just a deeper red! I am hoping you can tell how PIGMENTED the Ultra-Metallics are. It is out of this world amazing!

The last shadow for this post is kinda a bummer because you can no longer purchase it and I do not know the details on it. So hopefully my description does it justice!

Summer Lovin' has been released several times during its lifetime. It is considered to be a tie-dye color. When you first get it you will see several shades of bronze,copper and champagne. Kinda of how you would like your summer to go...lots of champagne by the pool! I am going to say this is a Ultra-Glitter finish. It is not as pigmented as an Ultra-Metallic. If it is released I do suggest you purchase it! It is a nice color to have in  my collection.



Alright, I have decided to split these posts up. I have too much to say about Colourpop. I really LOVE this company. They always put the customer first and they listen to our suggestions. My only issue with Colourpop is that my wallet can not keep up! They are always coming out with new products! I will say Colourpop sells everything at a ridiculously good price! Everything ranges from $5.00-$10.00. You can not beat that! Plus free domestic shipping after $30.00! If you haven't tried Colourpop I highly recommend that you do! If you enjoyed this post please share it with you friends! 

Thanks for reading and as always have a beauty filled day!
