<a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/" target="_blank">benefit cosmetics</a> has always been one of my favorite beauty brands on the market. with their adorable packaging, fun names and quality products, you just can't seem to go wrong with anything they make!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
since moving to brentwood, i am that much closer to the benefit cosmetic store on montana avenue and have been going every three weeks to get my brows tinted and waxed for $32! these girls know what they are doing and i can honestly say that the store is always packed with customers, a testament to their results!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
the only problem i encounter when i head into benefit to get my brows done, is i end up leaving with a bag full of products i didn't realize existed until i tried them out. one of those products is the <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/instant-brow-pencil" target="_blank">instant brow pencil</a> in light...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVbIKks6v2czi0VzqgnVIVJx0CL5tZWli8FLjImxBAeIFG_tgu4mbCSeBr8xD_Hjt8IzxGLAAZ7QIvSgTfZ8eYXdND2OiXOHYv882sdK7Zv6h8u8ut3Kr8wJqf1y66McB7lVxw68CaZzg/s1600/madame-brow-6_141745589569_jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVbIKks6v2czi0VzqgnVIVJx0CL5tZWli8FLjImxBAeIFG_tgu4mbCSeBr8xD_Hjt8IzxGLAAZ7QIvSgTfZ8eYXdND2OiXOHYv882sdK7Zv6h8u8ut3Kr8wJqf1y66McB7lVxw68CaZzg/s400/madame-brow-6_141745589569_jpg_article_gallery_slideshow_v2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
if you tweezed a little too much in your lifetime and need a little help filling in where some hair is missing, this pencil is for you! the color is spot on and it fills in your brows without them looking "drawn on" with the help of the brush at the end. a permanent staple in my makeup bag now! <br />
<br />
my other favorite recent purchase is the <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/finding-mr-bright#BVQAContainer" target="_blank">finding mr. bright</a> makeup kit...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this is the perfect kit if you like glowing skin and products that you can fit in your purse to take with you. seriously, everything in this kit is amazing! i had not used <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/girl-meets-pearl" target="_blank">the girl meets pearl</a> luminizer before and have to say thank goodness it had a mini size in here as i LOVE it. i use it now every single day. i feel flat without it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i have long been a fan of the <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/posietint" target="_blank">posietint</a> product, but love it even more in the travel size, since a little goes a long way! again this product giver you a pretty, glowy, dewy complexion which is perfection!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i have already shared my love for <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/high-beam" target="_blank">high beam</a> <a href="http://yellowbrickblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/super-model-in-bottle.html" target="_blank">here</a> and the love continues with the mini version.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the last perfect piece is the <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/erase-paste" target="_blank">erase paste</a> which is a soft creamy concealer which has brightening undertones to help conceal not only dark circles but also yucky blemishes. the texture is creamy and doesn't leave your face dry and feeling cake-y like some other concealers do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
best party about the kit is all four of these products are travel ready for under $30! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i also shared my love of their <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/theyre-real" target="_blank">they're real</a> mascara earlier this year <a href="http://yellowbrickblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/sephora-staples.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
if you haven't already jumped on the benefit bandwagon, might i ask you to join me now, as looking fresh, dewy and bright is always in style. also, if you live close to a benefit store, be sure to pop in and get your brows some loving, they do a marvelous job and it really makes all the difference in the world!</div>

happy first monday of august! where has the summer gone?!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
i know that i have been MIA lately, but work and life has been keeping me busy and on my toes! i have missed blogging as a release for my brain, and am hoping that i will be able to be back on her on a regular basis. but sometimes things come up that cause you to push pause your hobbies, take in all the things around you and then return to normal and push play. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
that said, i had to share this awesome song that is just perfect for the last few weeks of summer. sebastian's "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051H31AI/ref=dm_dp_trk2?ie=UTF8&qid=1375735553&sr=8-1" target="_blank">love in motion</a>" is so good! it's a little bit 80's, dance worthy and has just a hint of prince to it. and i LOVE it!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
be sure to add it to your next summer bbq or road trip playlist for guaranteed smiles and cheers!</div>

am i the only one who finds yoga intimidating? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my friend <a href="http://live-to-the-point-of-tears.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">b</a> has really inspired me to finally give this yoga thing a try (also every time i get a massage they remind me how tight i am and that i need to incorporate some yoga into my routine). living social also inspired me with <a href="https://www.livingsocial.com/deals/717028-one-month-of-unlimited-yoga-classes?rui=9994013" target="_blank">this incredible deal</a> for a month unlimited for only <a href="https://www.livingsocial.com/deals/717028-one-month-of-unlimited-yoga-classes?rui=9994013" target="_blank">$30</a> at yogaworks (actually only $20 using the promo code <a href="https://www.livingsocial.com/deals/717028-one-month-of-unlimited-yoga-classes?rui=9994013" target="_blank">FREEDOM</a> at checkout)! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and so, i have my month unlimited, my inspiration and my fingers and toes crossed that this yoga thing works for me. i am nervous as a beginner and also nervous that i will look like a fool in front of everyone, but i am going to give it my all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
any tips for this novice? </div>

i have a love hate relationship with maxi dresses. i love the look of them, but with my short frame tend to feel overwhelmed in one. and this past weekend on montana avenue all i could see where cute women everywhere sporting maxi dresses. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and so even though b is not a fan of maxi dresses, i am on the hunt for the perfect maxi dress (that will of course require hemming) for summer 2013. while i would prefer a bright colored maxi to sport around town, this <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=whatsnew_all&ProductID=2058412499&VariantID=" target="_blank">tribal print maxi dress</a> could be a good start at an incredible price of under$25! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
are you on board for the maxi dress trend? what are your favorite maxi dresses out right now?</div>

in keeping up with casserole monday as b and i have coined it, i pinned <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/507429082985457010/" target="_blank">this</a> delicious recipe and it was a major hit! the casserole is easy to prepare and leaves you with loads of leftovers (which totally taste better the next day)! best part, it's relatively healthy and gluten free!</div>

it's been awhile since i shared a forever 21 find, but i had to share this <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=promo_web-exclusive&ProductID=2002246103&VariantID=" target="_blank">open-front chevron cardigan</a> as it is the perfect piece for summer. i am thinking this cardigan would be so fantastic for summer bonfires, hollywood cemetery screenings or concerts in the park after the sun sets and the evening breezes in. </div>

ooh i love me a good music video. and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/An-Awesome-Wave/dp/B00BK5D95C/ref=ntt_mus_dp_dpt_1" target="_blank">alt-J</a> does not disappoint with their <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BK5DBD2/ref=dm_dp_trk4" target="_blank">"breezeblocks"</a> video. <br />
<br />
i have been loving the song for a few weeks now and just finally watched the video which was like a mini movie! an intriguing story told backwards that will leave you shocked at the end (which is actually the beginning...still following?). <br />
<br />
i watched the video three times backwards and forward and have my own tale of the story. how many times will you watch before you have your side of the story? <br />
<br />
enjoy!</div>

<iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F90968750" width="100%"></iframe><br />

i have a total love/hate relationship with mariah carey. the hate meter has been in the full mode for almost ten years now. gone were the gold old mariah days, replaced with the emancipation of mimi (no thank you) and other crappy songs. <br />
<br />
however, my hate meter of mariah is currently at an all time low, as i am IN LOVE with her latest song <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-feat-Miguel/dp/B00COC8WT8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369085819&sr=8-1&keywords=%23beautiful" target="_blank">"#beautiful"</a> (although really, wtf is up with the hahtag business)? maybe it's because it's a duet with miguel, maybe it's because it has an old school vibe to it, or maybe it's because mariah cut all the crap finally and just sings great lyrics they way she used to. <br />
<br />
whatever the reason may be, i love this song. it's pretty and makes me smile and wanna sway side to side in my car with sun shining down in through the sun roof. <br />
<br />
perfect summer jam. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
no seriously. this little guy is amazeballs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i have super fine hair that is a pain in the butt to comb out when i get out of the shower. so much so that i don't brush my hair ever. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for reals. i only brush my hair when i get out of the shower. and even then i don't actually brush it, i just comb it and it usually takes a some time and results in a loss of a lot of hair and a bit of a sore head (and god knows how many broken hairs). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so imagine my delight when my new hairdresser ashley worked this nifty weird gadget through my hair in a matter of seconds (all while it massaged my head). i immediately asked what the hell was that. and she informed me it was called the <a href="http://www.tangleteezer.com/products_site.php?product=purple" target="_blank">"tangle teezer"</a> and it was great on all types of hair, wet or dry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i was of course sold and ready to purchase only to find out that they are kind of hard to track down (i should have ordered online). a few weeks ago i found this sparkly brush at <a href="http://barringtoncourthealthandbeauty.com/product-lines/" target="_blank">barrington court health & beauty supply</a> and couldn't wait to try it out at home...turns out it works just as well at home as it did in the salon! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it does sometimes make me feel like i am brushing a horses tail due to the shape and sound, but i promise you, this brush is life changing! it's the perfect brush for summer beach days, or everyday shower days!</div>
