Do you ever have this problem too? So many beautiful shades to try, not enough space for all the swatches?! Some of those colors though!!!
(I have a few swatches on my wrist and the other side of my watch as well, haha!) Good thing I always carry some wipes along with me in my purse. 🙂
Thank you to That Northern Girl for nominating me for the Liebster Award!
When she told me that she had nominated me, I didn’t quite know what the “The Liebster Award” was. The word Liebster is a German word that when translated to English means: “sweetheart, beloved person, darling dear, darling; beloved, liked very much; affectionate, loving favorite, preferred above others; liked or loved above others.”
I did a bit of research and found that it is an award that is for bloggers by bloggers. It’s passed from person to person to help with the discovery of new blogs and bloggers. It is also to encourage, support, and connect the blogging community. I think that this is a really nice way to be able to support each other!
The Rules

My questions for the nominees:
Just as much as I love samples and good deals, I love to use coupons! It is like printing and clipping free money and I like free money! 🙂
Click HERE for $10 worth of Maybelline and Garnier Coupons
One of my favorite coupons is for $2 off of any Maybelline mascara. Most Maybelline mascaras are super affordable to begin with anyway, but with $2 off, they are just that much better! Their Colossal Volum’ express waterproof mascara is my all time favorite mascara!
There is also a $2 off any Maybelline face product. As you know, my new go to foundation is the Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin foundation. Here is a great opportunity to try it out and take the #betterskinchallenge for yourself.

As a lover of all things beauty related, I always have a running wish list. Some are high end others are drug store items, but all are lovely. Some I have already tried and need to repurchase, some I have heard great reviews on. Here is the current list with links of things that are on my wish list…
Too Faced Stardust by Vegas Nay ($45)
If I were to get everything on this list it would total $439.83
This list will continue to grow and grow. There are so many awesome beauty products being added to the market all the time.
What do you have on your make up wish list? Leave a comment as well letting me know if you have any of the things on my list and if they are worth adding to my collection!
These Jordana Easyliner for lips lipliners glide on smooth and creamy and last for hours. I also love that it has a twist up applicator so I don’t have to sharpen it and lose a bunch of product in the process. They are available in 13 different colors. My favorite go to is Baby Berry. So far I have only found them sold at Walgreens (and online). At only $2.50 each, I will definitely make a special trip to Walgreens!
Here is what the Jordana Cosmetics website says about the Easyliner
Retractable-No Sharpening Required
Silky Smooth Soft Glide Formula
Excellent Color Coverage; Rich Semi-Matte Finish
All-Day Wear
Convenient & Easy to Use
Made In USA
At only $1.49 these essence lipliners are a major steal! If you don’t already own one you need this in you life! They go on smoothly and last hours. They have 8 different shades to choose from as well as a transparent liner. My favorite shades are 05 soft berry and 07 cute pink. Unfortunately, it has a wooden design, so it does need to be sharpened, but at such a low price it is still a great deal. In my area they are only available at Ulta and Ulta.com, but according to the Essence website they can also be found at Shoppers Drug Mart and Fred Meyer as well.
What does Ulta.com have to say about these lip liners…
Essence Lip Liner glides on smoothly and precisely to ensure perfect lip contours and endless hours of lipstick fun. The wooden lip liner is ideal for smudge-proof and long-lasting lip makeup.
What do you think? Have you used either of these lipliners? Do you love them? What is your favorite go to great deal lipliner?
I was nominated by NotAlways Knotty for the beauty blogger award. I want to thank her, and tell you all to go check out her blog! I have really been enjoying what she has been posting. We are both new to beauty blogging, so it it really nice to be able to support each other!
I hope you enjoy this post, and thank you for the nomination NotAlways Knotty!
RULES:
NotAlways Knotty‘s Questions for me:
1. What is your favorite makeup brand?
My favorite high end brand is Tarte Cosmetics. They have the cutest packaging and I just love the quality of their products. If I had to pick my favorite drugstore brand, I’d have to go with Maybelline. I just find that overall I enjoy a lot of their products. Although, I really love L’Oreal….maybe it is a tie between the two of them.
2. What is your favorite clothing store?
I love Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft. The clothes are classic yet comfortable and fit me really well, plus, they always have great sales! (I love a great sale!) Oh, I love White House Black Market, pretty much for the same reasons I love Ann Taylor and the Loft.
3. What product are you dying to have?
I really want the Lorac Pro Pallete. I know I am eventually going to buy it, but I just haven’t splurged yet.
4. Who is your favorite beauty guru?
Hands down my favorite beauty guru is Tati from Glam Life Guru. She is not only beautiful, but she really knows her stuff! I look forward to hearing what she has to share everyday! If you don’t already subscribe to her videos on YouTube, you don’t know what you are missing! Go check her out today.
5. What is your go to style?
Hmmm, I guess my go to style is classic chic yet comfortable
6. What is your dream job?
Before I had kids, I already had my dream job, I worked on the day shift as an oncology registered nurse and I loved it. (having a day shift made me love it even more!) Now that I have kids, I have my second dream job, being a Stay at Home mom! The pay stinks, but the job is super rewarding 😉
7. What has been your biggest accomplishment?
Definitely my biggest accomplishment has been being a mother to my two awesome children. It is not always easy and it can be so tough and tiring, but knowing that I am making an impact on their two lives is the most important thing I will ever do.
8. How did you come up with the name for your blog?
“Jolie” in French means pretty or beautiful. Having the last name of Joli, it was a natural fit to call the site Looking Joli Good.
9. Where is one place you would like to travel to?
I have always wanted to go to Paris, France. It just seems like such a wonderful magical place. Although, after watching a show on Travel Channel the other night about Montreal, Quebec, Canada, now I want to go there.
10. What advice would you give another beauty/fashion blogger?
You do you! Blogging is about having fun and connecting with people! If you start to get stressed out about it, take a little break. Always be honest and try to enjoy what you are doing!

Do you ever find yourself getting sucked into the wormhole of Pinterest?
When it comes to Pinterest, I am like Alice in Wonderland! There is so much to see and so many things to pin and read… hours slip by in what seems to be just minutes.
Whoever came up with Pinterest is genius! All the awesomeness of the internet in one easy to access place. So many sites that I would never have found otherwise!
One of these such sites is Good Life For Less. She has all these awesome posts about putting together great outfits and finding awesome sales. One of my favorite posts is this one about making 9 different outfits out of 9 pieces of clothing.
I have similar pieces to most of the ones she suggests. I wouldn’t necessarily think to put them together the way she has. Such a great idea!
What about you, do you love Pinterest?
If you are on Pinterest, I would love to follow you! Leave your username in the comment section below. Take a look at some of my boards as well! You can find me, of course, as LookingJoliGood!
