Winter Beauty and Fashion Favorites

As we “spring forward” it’s time press the refresh button and look back at the hits of this winter season. During this cold time of year it’s difficult to keep your skin hydrated and not strip it of it’s natural oils when cleansing and exfoliating. The solution I have found has been the #Tatcha #TheDeepCleanse. Its gel formula gently exfoliates my already dry skin and has become a must have in my skincare routine.  Also, to keep lips from cracking I highly recommend the #Clarins #InstantLightLipComfortOil. This season I fell in love with the super amazing and rightfully hyped up #RMSBEAUTY #LivingLuminizer. There’s a reason why makeup junkies everywhere have this in their collection. It’s true to its word, creating a #sensual and #luminous #glow. I’ve loved pairing this #highlighter with both a winged #eyeliner or precised liner. To do this I’ve been using the #TomFord #EyeDefiningPen. Yes, it’s pricey (side note: purchased during the VIB sale!) but it truly is the blackest shade of black and it’s dual ended which gives you complete control on how thick or thin your liner is.   My favorite winter purchase  has been my #SaintLaurent #CabasRiveGauche handbag. It’s a classic and will remain a staple in my wardrobe for years. During this crazy winter season I have found over the knee boots to be so comfortable yet fashionable at the same time, and for me #StuartWeitzman gets it right every time. He has perfected #overthekneeboots in various heel heights. My most favorite of favorites this season is the #Chloe #LoveStory #EauDeToilette. Have you ever heard that scents hold memories? I truly believe that they have the power to bring you back to a certain time. Well, this perfume does just that. I wore it on proposal day, and now it will always remain my all time favorite scent! What are your winter favorites? Let me know in the comments down below.

The Bride Diaries - Part 1

Dear readers,

Today, we start a new a series on #KimberlyMalkaBlog - #TheBrideDiaries! As I begin a new chapter in my life, I'd like to hear your feedback on your #wedding "do's and don'ts". The fashion loving girl that I am has started the fun yet tedious task of dress hunting. While I begin the search and try to develop my taste in #weddinggowns I have been exploring the different #silhouettes one can wear such as #ballgown: a fairy-tale full skirt look, #ALine: resembling the outline of an uppercase "A", or #mermaid: a fitted gown that flares at the bottom providing a #sexy #vavavoom look. What are your thoughts? What was your ideal dress style, and did you wear it on your wedding day? Make sure you let me know in the comments down below.

Keep smiling,

Stream Lining Makeup Part 9 #single #eyeshadows #pigments

You know what I realized? I'm not a singular eyeshadow kind of girl. I usually reach for palettes that I can create full looks with. That said I knew it was time to say goodbye and declutter! #colourpop shadows are great to use on the lid, and I love the collaborations they have done with beauty influencers like #KathleenLights, however, they dry out quickly if not closed immediately and properly. Don't get me wrong, the price is right and the quality is spot-on but it's just not for me at this point. I do however love me some pigments like my favorite #Mac one in the shade Tan. I also am really loving #TheBalm pigments.  The only single eyeshadow I am hanging onto is the #Kiko one in the shade number 208 which is a #dupe for the #limitededition #MacHighlighter in the shade #WhisperofGuilt. Hope you enjoyed reading this blog post. I'll be heading over to Instagram live at 7:30 PM EST TO ANNOUNCE THE #Morphe35O giveaway winner!

Buon giorno #Milano!

On my last day here I'm indulging in a scrumptious chocolate #brioche and superb #cappuccino. Such a chilly morning but luckily I have my trendy and chic #pompom #angora and #wool hat to keep me warm and #stylish paired with my beloved #Chloè #drewbag. I love the detailing of the #feminine #bow. Off to do my last bits of #shopping and #sightseeing. Stay tuned for a #Vlog coming soon! Arrivederci!

Stream Lining Makeup Part 8 #Foundations & #BBCreams

You 

From natural BB creams to high coverage foundations I had it all, however, one person does not need this many. An old favorite is the #GiorgioArmani #LuminousSilkFoundation but it's time to trash it. No time to waste on hanging on to foundation bottles that are basically empty and attempt to scrape every millimeter out (does anyone else do that?) Another one leaving my collection is the #Mac #ProLongWearFoundation (but I'll save this to #BackToMac it!)

Both the #Tarte #BBTintedMoisturizer and the #AmazonianClayFullCoverage were never reached for - will donate to friends and family it is better suited for. Narrowed down the keep pile to one stick foundation (#Makeupforever #HD),  a full coverage foundation #CoverFX #NaturalFinish #OilFreeFoundation, and natural #BareMinerals #ComplexionRescue #TintedHydratingGelCream.

Done!

Hope you enjoyed reading! Let me know what you have decluttered today and what else you would like to see more of on my blog!

Stream Lining Makeup Part 7 - #Mascaras

#DeclutterMode

FYI-Mascara expires after 3 months! It's easy to find yourselves collecting so many mascaras or primers because they usually tend to try up or get lost in your makeup bag. But, take care of your eye health and avoid infection by tossing these bad boys away once they dry up. Here's a tip for those who don't use mascara on a regular basis - get sample sizes of mascara with your #Sephora #points or check out a beauty counter in your local department store. I've tried so many mascaras from #Dior to #Benefit to #Clinique to #Smashbox to #Kiko but at the end of the day I held onto only three (which were my most recently purchased too) #Waterproof Kiko, #DiorShowPumpNVolume, and #DiorPrimer. Got all bases covered.

What have you decluttered today?
