Christmas Gift Guide- Sporty Girl

Hey and Welcome back to MissBeautyInsider! I'm just going to go ahead and jump into the guide! This is for a sporty girl! Most of these can be transformed into a guys gift too!

1) Headbands!- Headbands are great for any girl who plays sports and sweats a lot. One of the best headbands are from lululemon. They are designed to keep the sweat and hair out of your face! They also conveniently come in adorable colors. These have been very popular recently.

2) Water Bottle- These are perfect for girls (or guys) who play sports. You need to stay hydrated of course. Plus you can get some really cool or cute water bottles. This can be transformed into a guys gift too!

3) Nike Free Runs- I have been dying to buy these for myself. These would be too expensive of a gift coming from a friend but it would be a great gift coming from a parent or family member. They have a simple black or multi neon colors. These shoes are the best for someone whose always active and wants comfy fitting shoes to wear all day.

4) Sports Balls- Who wouldn't love a brand new sports ball for whatever sport they play, whether its soccer or tennis. You could buy them a racket or tennis ball.

5) Yoga Mat- This is somewhat more focused towards fitness than sports but I didn't want to make a whole new category. If someone you know doesn't already have a yoga mat then I think this is the perfect present especially if you can fine a real cute one. Target has some really good one.

Hope you enjoyed! More coming soon! Next up is Girly Girl, my favorite! -Missbeautyinsider

Christmas Gift Guide- Casual Cozy Girl

Christmas is less than a month away, and it's time to start Christmas shopping! This gift guide is perfect for your sister, brother, mom, aunt, friends, or anyone your buying christmas gifts for this year. I'm going to try and update a few guides before Black Friday, so you have an idea of what to buy. This is my first installment of my Gift Guide Series for Christmas! I will be making a gift guide for girls of all types; sporty girl, girly girl, casual cozy girl, even one for boys. I will also have another post for gifts for teens organized by price. Hopefully this will help you with buying gifts or maybe you'll find something you can ask for! Today is A Casual Cozy Girl.

1) MUGS!- What girl wouldn't love a mug to put her hot cocoa or tea in? Any cute mug would be perfect! I love OWL anything, especially mugs! Christmas mugs are also a great choice.

2) Knit Braided Headbands- These are absolutely adorable for the cold weather; they keep your ears warm while keeping you stylish.

3) A book- For someone who loves to read, couldn't be happier with a good book. My sister is a book addict and I'm planning on getting her a couple books she's been dying to read! I recommend "A Fault In Our Stars" By John Green. Its a great heartbreaking book. Comment if you want me to do a review on this book.

4) Cute Sweater- This would be a better gift for someone your closer to because it's more of a personal gift. Sweaters are a fave for almost everyone, especially someone who just wants to chill in something comfy and read.

5) Candles- You can never go wrong with a candle; with the wide variety of scents there's one for everyone! Yankee Candle and Bath and Body Works have some great candles. My favorite from Bath and Body Works is Merry Cookie and my favorite from Yankee Candle is Christmas Eve. They are both so delicious smelling.

6) Movie- A movie is a great present for someone who just loves to relax and be cozy.

Hope you found something helpful in this post! More coming soon! Remember leave your thoughts and comments below! Love y'all!

Sally Hansen Nail Polish Review + Sale

For some of you who have an HEB near you, your at luck! There's a huge Sally Hanson Nail Polish sale. $2.00 off any Sally Hansen Nail Product. What a steal! I bought a couple of the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish which sell for $2.48. But with the coupon, it was only 48 cents!! I had to get on this deal. I picked up 2 colors; "Grey Area" and the Famous "Pacific Blue," that all the gurus have been raving about.

Grey Area is a gorgeous grey and a purple undertone. Perfect for Fall or Winter. On the nails its a dark smokey grey color. I's imagine It'd look good on every skin tone. I tested this color out, and it only needed one coat! ONE. And don't even get me started on the application. It glides on flawlessly; smooth, creamy, opaque, all in one coat.
Pacific Blue is absolutely amazing! It's bright and opaque. This a gorgeous muted iris blue creme from Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear line. It is of course impossible to capture it perfectly on camera but trust me this subtle purple tint adds a lovely twist to the blue creme polish.

Hope you enjoyed! Leave a comment if you want me to swatch these for you.

Walmart Mini Haul

Hello, Fellow Beauty Addicts. I made a quick stop at Walmart the other day to pick up a few things, and just decided to leave a quick review for you. How do y'all like my blog layout? Leave a comment below!

Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Eye Enhancing Shadow - Nude Eyes

What it does: A hip new twist on the classic smoky eye look! Sultry smoky shades give your eyes drama while enhancing their natural beauty.
Three blendable trios perfectly paired to color, contour and line your eyes for illuminating, high impact.

What it cost: $9.69

Where to get it: Walmart

Similar/Dupe for: Naked Palette

Review: This palette has gorgeous "nude" colors. They're very sparkly and shimmery. One problem I found with this palette is the brush. It comes with a black slanted brush. I had trouble getting the shadow on the brush. I had to rub it like 10 times to get even a little color. I eventually got the eyeshadow on my brush and it was GORGEOUS! The color lasted all day without creasing. It also comes in a cute velvet package.

Nivea Lip Care A Kiss of Milk and Honey
What it does: Soothing Lip Care that boosts lips natural defenses

What it cost: $2.99

Where to get it: Walmart

Similar/Dupe for: EOS

Review: This product is VERY moisturizing and makes my lips feel oh so soft. The moisture stays on for quite some time. This Lip Balm is clear and colorless. There is a light smell of honey but it goes away after a few minutes. The smell is a little un appealing, but the moisture of this makes this product

So thats it for my haul! Leave a comment on what y'all would like me to do next!? Also do you like the layout of my blog?

What it does: Maximum volume instantly. Bold winged-out lash look. Unique wire brush to curve lashes up and out.

What it cost: $5.99

Where to get it: CVS (btw there's multiple stores to but these products but I try to list the cheapest price and then list the store I found that at)

Review: I was drawn to this product by it's weird and creative bottle. I also love how the brush is shaped like an hourglass. It seems like it would give the eyelashes a more original dignified look.

Outlast Nail Glosstinis

What it does: Creating bright, glossy manicures and nail art designs have never been easier with these limited edition minis just for traveling.

What it cost: $2.99

Where to get it: Target

Review: These are utterly adorable! They are cute and tiny and easy to pack for traveling. The colors are very pigmented but do need several coats. I've used the tropical collection but I'm dying to try the Capitol collection.

Day 3: Urban Decay

Welcome to day 3 of my 5 day brand wish list. Today is my FAVORITE; URBAN DECAY! Epp!!

Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette

What it does: This long, lean, and seductive case comes packed with 12 gorgeous neutrals that work for absolutely everyone. Shades range from delicate champagne to gritty gunmetal, and feature five stunning new shades. A variety of textures, including glitter, shimmer, and matte, ensure that you'll never get bored. This versatile palette can go from office appropriate to a night on the town. The mirrored case also features a new professional-quality, cruelty-free Good Karma Eyeshadow Brush, plus a travel-size Eyeshadow Primer Potion in original formula.

What it cost: $52

Where to get it: Sephora

Review: OH MY GOD! I want this so badly! It's a gorgeous palette with a variety of styles; matte, shimmer, and Glitter. It is rather expensive but comes with 12 colors that are sure to last awhile. I also love that it comes with primer potion. That's one reason I prefer the Naked 1 palette over 2. The colors in the original have a bigger variety of more wearable eyeshadows, while the Naked 2 palette has more awkward colors that I wouldn't wear on a daily basic. Plus it comes with a lipstick instead and the lipstick isn't that original.

I'm really upset, I can't seem to figure out ow to get rid of the white boxes around the letters. Leave a comment below, and whoever can correctly help me, gets there name entered a few extra times in my GIVEAWAY when I have it. Is it because I'm copying and pasting it after I send it to myself from my email (Don't worry, I'm not copying just typing It on my phone first.)

Day 2: Maybelline

Hello Beautiful's, It's day 2 of the 5 day makeup brand Wishlist! Today is Maybelline! Sorry in advance for the blurry pictures, and also I didn't have time to review this and make sure every things correct so I'm sorry about that.

DREAM LUMI CONCEALER

What it does: Illuminates and covers imperfections for instantly brighter looking skin

What it cost: $6.50

Where to get it: Target, Ulta, Walgreens

Review: I really need a new concealer, recently I've been using the elf concealer because the shade I bought the Boing concealer in was the wrong color and I haven't gotten around to returning it. So I'm stuck using the concealer I was testing. It has decent coverage, but I would like more! I'm hoping this Maybelline concealer will do if for me! I've heard many great reviews on this.

DREAM MATTE POWDER

What it does: Keeps your T-zone oil free throughout the day with this matte powder. The dream matte face powder spreads evenly on your face improving your skin texture and tone without leaving any cracks.

What it cost: $6.94

Where to get it: Target, Walmart, Walgreens, Ulta

Review: I love that it's oil free and could possible hide my oily skin all day! Once I run out on my Rimmel powder (holy grail product) I'm going to try this one.

FIT ME SHINE FREE FOUNDATION STICK

What it does:
Gel-Stick Foundation Provides Tailor-Made Mattifying Coverage. Goes On Creamy And Transforms To A Matte Powder Finish. Ultra-Lightweight Powders In The Anti-Shine Core Instantly Dissolve Excess Oil

What it cost: $8.99

Where to get it: I've only seen it at Ulta but you can probably find it at just about any Drugstore.

Review: Like I've mentioned before I need a new concealer and I've heard this one was also a great one. Although it is really a foundation. I love how big the stick is, you get a lot of product for your money! I think I'd prefer this over the Lumi touch. Just because I think it would look less cakey than liquid.

OH ORANGE BABY LIPS

What it does: Provides clinical care with a neon kick

What it cost: $2.99

Where to get it: Target, CVS, and other Drugstores

Review: Maybelline's electric baby lips seem to have more color than the normal ones. I have the pink one and it adds gorgeous color to my lips while moisturizing them, which I greatly need in the winter. I'm excited to try the orange one, does anyone know if the color payoff is orange?

LIMITED EDITION BABY LIPS
What it does: Moisturizing lip balm with SPF 20 sunscreen. Gives eight hour moisture plus lip renewal. It's clinical care for baby soft lips

What it cost: ???

Where to get it: Amazon (online), people have told me Ulta carries them but I haven't had much luck.

Review: I've been dying to get my hands on these, but they're nowhere to be found :( Leave a comment below on where I can find them!

COLOR TATTOOS

What it does: 24 hour wear without creasing or fading. Ink pigments for intense color. Unique cream-gel texture

What it cost: $5.99

Where to get it: Target, Ulta

Review: I L-O-V-E these Eyeshadows! I own Bad to the Bronze already. I'm dying to try, Bold Gold, Tough as Taupe, and Pomegranate Punk. Have you tried any?

VOLUME EXPRESS THE ROCKET

What it does: Maybelline's Volum' Express The Rocket Mascara's patented Supersonic Brush with micro bristles loads on big, sleek volume instantly. The fast-glide formula keeps lashes smooth. Zero clumps guaranteed!

What it cost: $5-7 depending on store

Where to get it: CVS, Target, Walmart, Drugstores in general

Review: Many people recommend this mascara, and many others don't recommend it so I thought I'd better try it for myself. The packaging is absolutely adorable!

BIG EYES MASCARA

What it does: Gives you 2X Bigger Eyes With 360 Degrees of False Lash Volume from Volum' Express Falsies Big Eyes Mascara! The Upper Lash Brush Creates Over-The-Top Glam, While The Lower Lash Brush Grabs Every Tiny Lower Lash For A Full Circle Effect.

What it cost: $6.99

Where to get it: Any Drugstore, Walmart, Ulta, Walgreens, Target

Review: I'm excited to try this because it has separate brushes for the lower and upper brushes which I've never seen before! It's just sounds so absorb and amazing! As many Maybelline items this received many great reviews! :)

So that's it!

Day 1: Neutrogena

Neutrogena Moisture Smooth Color Sticks-

What it does: Instantly moisturizes lips, while continuously conditioning them so they are softer and smoother in just 3 days with nothing on them. Made with fruit extracts along with mango and shea butter, the balm-like formula glides on easily, providing a sheer wash of moisturizing color that lasts for hours

What it Cost: $7.99

Where to get it: Any drugstore, Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS, etc

Review: I own one of these and I immediately fell in love. They feel smooth (hence the name) and soft on your lips. I have the shade papaya and I love it! It's a more neutral pink, but I'm looking to try some more bold colors. Which one should I try next? Comment below the ones you've used and tried! If I Review the product you left below, I will give you credit/ Shoutout

Mineral Sheers Compact Powder Foundation-

What it does: Enhances your skin through dermatologist-selected pure and gentle minerals. This convenient pressed powder foundation creates a naturally radiant and glowing complexion.

What it cost: $11.99

Where to Get It: Any drugstore, Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS, etc

Review: I mainly want to try this foundation powder for it's container. I'm obsessed with the way the top spins off to reveal the "brush." I also like that it is oil-free. I have VERY oily skin, so only certain foundations stay on all day for me. Hope this one works for me!

Healthy Skins Blend Blush

What it does: Illuminates your face for a naturally healthy look.

What it cost: $10.79

Where to Get it: Any drugstore, Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS, etc

Review: I once borrowed this from a friend and fell in love. I've never been a fan of blush because it tends to make me look sunburned. But this blush is a gorgeous light Pink and very subtle! And best of all I didn't look like I spent all day at the beach!

Maybelline Up Tomorrow!

Target Haul! :) + Giveaway Info

NYX Lip Set: I got these two lip sets at $10 each! What a steal! If you were to buy these separately it would cost $24 each! One set is a neutral/nude while the other is pink. The set consisted of lip liner, lip stick, lip plumper, and lip gloss. I'm so excited to use them both!

Scandal Eyes Nude Kohl Eyeliner: This is a nude eyeliner, Nude eyeliners are a substitute for white which is supposed to brighten your eyes. I've had my eye on this product for the longest of time.

Rimmel Lipstick Airy Fairy: This is a gorgeous nude pinky color.

Smoochies- Smooch: This is my second smoochies and I LOVE THEM! The shade smooch, is a pretty light pink.

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Eyeshadow Stick- Bulletproof Beige: I was sooooo excited to buy this product!!! Its an eyeshadow stick! The color I got was in Bulletproof Beige. Its a simple tan color.

Elf Concealer: I've heard many people say this is a pretty good concealer. It was only a $1 so I thought what the heck and bought it. They had 2 colors, Beige 4001 and Beige 4006 so I bought both just in case. I'll review it soon!

Covergirl Nail Polish Outlast Stay Brilliant Glosstinis- Blue Hawaiian and Purple Freeze: These nail polishes are rather tiny but tightly filled. I swatched the colors already and they were gorgeous. Although the purple did need a second coat!

Covergirl Eye Enhancers Eyeshadow trio- Shimmering Sands: These colors are very neutral and classy. Perfect for an everyday school makeup look. Gorgeous!

Covergirl Flamed Out- Melted Caramel Flame: This is another shadow pencil. The tube makes it look like a grey shimmery color but I haven't opened it to know for sure.

So that's all!
My Target has recently added new makeup brands; Elf, NYC, Neutrogena, and Physicians Formula! I hope my Target will eventually sell NYX (other than the package) and Milani!

I'm looking to do a giveaway soon. Once I reach 50-100 followers I will have a giveaway! I would also like you to comment below what your favorite beauty product is that I should try! Whoever comments will have their name entered an extra time. The more comments you the more entrys you will get! Good Luck
