Foodie Review | Noosa Yoghurt with Honey

I'm back!! Sorry I have been away for so long, but I have come down with a major case of writers block. I haven't tried anything new, and to be honest I'm a broke white girl! So I haven't been shopping much because I can't afford a lot, which leaves me little to write about.

But I have tried something new this past week, and it isn't anything to do with makeup, beauty, or fashion, but it has become my new favorite obsession. I stumbled upon this new brand because of a coworker of mine. He and I share the same love for yogurt and health so we are always comparing what's best out there. He introduced me to this yogurt and I was not feeling it at first. I love my Chobani Strawberry Yogurt and I never thought that anything would replace that. I was wrong.

I didn't bring a lunch to work one day so I decided to go to Target and pick up some goodies on my lunch to snack on to hold me out for the rest of the day. I saw this and I decided why the heck not?

So a little background of this brand before I go into telling you how much I am in love. Noosa is an Australian based company who use milk that is grown on a farm, have no artificial hormones (rBGH free), and use real honey and fresh fruit. This yogurt is also gluten-free and comes in twelve different flavors.

So this yogurt is amazing, as you might have already guessed. Unlike regular Greek yogurts in this flavor that I have tried it does not give you that sour/tart taste. It is much more sweeter than you're typical Chobani yogurt but healthier and flavorful that Yoplait. It has a very creamy consistency and its so smooth. It is happiness in your mouth. The best way I can describe the taste is cold milk with lots of honey. It's sweet but not overpowering. I purchased an 8oz. container of this and it last me through two sittings. You get a lot of yogurt in the container. And even when you put it back in the fridge it still tastes just as good. Now as for any Greek yogurt be sure to mix it well before you eat it because most of the flavor is at the bottom. But it tastes very amazing and it really does fill you up. I'd recommend this yogurt to anyone who loves yogurt. It is more on the pricier side, right about the same as a Chobani yogurt. $2.50-$3. But unlike Chobani you get a lot more product for your money.

May Favorites

OMG you guys! May is over. When did this happen? But you know what that means...it's my birthday month now! Woop Woop! Okay, let's get serious here now. May really did go by pretty quickly, but I did try a lot of new products and actually discovered oldies that I once liked but kinda forgot about but now I love again. It's one of those kinds of relationships.

Let's get started!

Makeup

As you guys know from my previous posts, I bought the new Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Palette. This is a really nice palette for spring/summer. The colors are very natural and you can either play them up or down. You can create a lot of different looks with this palette and the colors are just amazing.

Another product that I have also mentioned in previous posts is the Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation. This foundation has moved into my all time favorite category. It blends in so nicely with your skin and is a pretty good coverage foundation. I also found that this foundation can easily stand on it's own. When I am in a hurry and just need to slap on some foundation and go out the door this is it, because it does not feel oily (like most foundations do) without a powder to set it. It dries matte and still so far no breakouts!

I love this mascara simply because it does what I want it to do without making my eyes itch. I have tried many mascaras and I have a lot that I love, but the L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen Mascara is the only mascara with the formula that is sensitive enough for my eyes. This mascara also does a great job in making your eyelashes look super long and very full. 

Nails

 I am not a big Essie nail polish fan, but this came to me as an impulse buy. To me it's very expensive and I find it chips very quickly, but I got this one to try to give Essie another chance, and no I'm not impressed by the formula. But this color is to die for! It is currently what I have on my nails now and it is in the shade Bikini So Teeny. How appropriate for spring and summer!? The down side is I find myself using a lot of coats when I put this on and I have to reapply every few days, but I love the color and that's why it is in my favorites for May.

Fragrance

This first one is another impulse buy that I got ages ago. It's from Victoria's Secret and it's the Noir Tease Body Mist. I really love this scent. I have used it almost everyday for the month of May. It's the perfect girl scent. I can't really describe the scent of it, but it just smells sexy! That's the best way I can put it. It is also light enough to wear anywhere, and the bottle is small enough to put in your purse to carry around everyday.

So when I am not using the Noir Tease by Victoria's Secret, I use my Daisy by Marc Jacobs perfume. I bought this around Christmas time as a present for myself because I feel like every girl should have at least one pretty expensive perfume that is her signature smell. And yes this is mine. But in winter I didn't use it as often because it does smell very florally. However, it is perfect to wear now and I am loving it. It is very subtle but still noticeable. I love it when I catch a wiff of myself when I am wearing this because it's like oh my god that is a smell-gasm! Also the bottle is so cute and that alone makes it one of my favorites.

Randoms

I got the Jergens BB Body Cream in a Birchbox a few months ago and I love using this as a BB cream on my face. This cream smells so nice and it makes your skin feeling very smooth. It does have a tint to it, so it is very nice when you are in a hurry and don't have time to put on makeup, or even when you don't feel like putting it on.

So yes summer is here and I can not stress how important deodorant is! I got this Secret Clinical Strength deodorant as a sample, and I am buying the full size when I am done with this. So far this is the only deodorant I know that can handle my armpits being out in 90 degree weather all day. It has a very floral smell to it but it is not overpowering. So far nothing has been able to beat this one. 

Even though it is not winter anymore, it is still important to moisturize those lips! I love the Vaseline Lip Therapy line. It makes my lips feel super smooth and not flaky. It's great for keeping your lips hydrated and protected by the sun. 

This soda is the bomb dot com! This flavor of Mountain Dew is only available at Taco Bell, but for a limited time you can get Baja Blast in stores. When I heard about this I had to drive myself right away to pick up as many as I can. I LOVE this soda and I LOVE that this soda is available in stores now, even if it is for a little bit.

Lastly, on my favorites list is this Bed Head Small Talk. This is a hair thickener and I have had this product since I cut my hair short. The lady who cut my hair used this on me and I fell in love right away. It smells like candy. It is literally candy for your hair. All you need to do is put a small pump in your hand and rub it in to your damp hair and it leaves your hair smelling nice and it gives it amazing volume. 

Thank you so much for reading! Let me know what your favorites for May where and leave me your site! I'm always looking for people to follow and blogs to read. Have a great month of June lovies!  

Out 'n About Summer Look

                              

Now that summer is here and school is out many people are spending their time having fun outside. Now the only downside about being outside in the hot air is that it will melt off your makeup! It's currently 84 F here in Chicago and it is still climbing and I will be out all day for a soccer game, so I want to put on makeup but I also don't want so much that my face is going to sweat it all off and look disgusting by the end of the day.

Foundation

Now I'm not going to start out with putting my whole foundation routine on. Instead, I will be using my Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation and that's about it. If your under eye circles are purple or you want to get rid of unwanted color you can use a bit of your favorite concealer to hide them, but today I do not feel the need to. The great thing about this foundation is that it has SPF built in, and that is crucial for summer. You want to make sure you at least have some sort of SPF on your face, ears, and shoulders (that's at least, but you always want SPF everywhere that your skin is exposed) to prevent yourself from burning or even worse.

After I applied my foundation I took my Rimmel Stay Matte Powder and with my Real Techniques Powder brush I pressed that into my skin. You want to make sure that you are pressing the powder into your skin because this way it will prevent the foundation from moving and making you more oily. 

Eyebrows

Next I am going to go in with my Anastasia Brow Wiz pencil and just fill in my eyebrows. This is totally optional, I have very sparse eyebrows and I just want to fill them in so they aren't so plain looking, but if you don't want to that's totally up to you! You should keep in mind though that the sweat built up on your forehead will tend to move around the color and it could turn ugly. Then after I do that I'm just going to go in and set it Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in clear so it will be less likely to move on me.

If you don't want to fill in your brows but you do want to add some color to enhance them I recommend Benefit's Gimme Brow, it will make your eyebrows seem fuller without much.

Eyes

 After doing my eyebrows and setting them, I put on my ELF eyeshadow primer. Normally I wouldn't wear eyeshadow to go out in the hot air, but today I was feeling it. So I stayed as neutral and minimal as possible. All my shades came from the Urban Decay Naked palette.

I took the color Sin and pressed that all over my eyelid. 

Then taking a blending brush I took Smog and lightly brushed it into my crease using windshield wiper motions. You want to make sure that it is completely blended in so it doesn't look smokey or too harsh.

Then with a small tapered brush I took Darkhorse and put that on my lower lash line to create some dimension because I am not using any eyeliner for this look. 

Now going back to Sin I took another smaller blending brush and put that color in my inner corner and toward the Darkhorse color I put in. I want to blend Sin into that to create a lighter to darker look so it looks more natural. 

To finish off the look I curled my lashes and used the new Maybelline Falsies Big Eyes. This is great because it has a brush for the upper lashes and another one for the lower lashes. It's great for giving you the appearance of longer lashes and it is very good at separating them too. 

Face

I didn't contour or use blush on my face. But what I did do was take my bronzer and put that on the ends of my cheeks closer to the ears to give me a little bit of color and dimension. 

To make everything stay in place in this heat I used the Urban Decay De Slick setting spray all over my face. 

Lips

I didn't want to use any lip gloss or stick so I just used my EOS lip balm to protect my lips from the sun and it smells amazing.
