Current Fave Beauty Products + Why I Love Them

Hey guys!  

I've recently updated my skincare routine with some amazing products and I wanted to share them with you.  It's no secret that we all want radiant youthful skin.  The products I'm going to talk about today do just that and they won't break the bank!  I was introduced to these products from my mom and she is the queen of skincare.  Momma don't lie. 

So let's get started!   

Makeup Talk: Clarins 3-Dot Liner Review

Happy Monday!

Today I have a fun post for you.  I will be testing out a new eye liner from Clarins that claims to give you the look of fuller lashes without the falsies.  So let's get started!



Makeup Talk: Bare Minerals

Happy Thursday!

Today I wanted to share with you some new makeup products that I've been using for the past week or so. A girlfriend of mine (Thanks Natasha!!) sent me the cutest care package from Bare Minerals and I have to say I'm really happy with what she sent. When I was younger and first started wearing makeup, I used Bare Minerals. I stopped using their products because I realized I liked spending my paycheck (lets be honest, I worked part time about 3 days week. lol)  on clothes instead of makeup and I discovered my favorite drugstore foundation. (Revlon's PhotoReady foundation.) Eight years later, I'm kinda in love with their products again.


Get Ready w/ Me x Makeup Tutorial

Happy Thursday everyone! I'm so excited to share my first Get Ready w/ Me (slash) makeup tutorial post with you guys today! Over the years I've received tons of makeup questions and I've done beauty posts in the past, but today I wanted to do something a little bit different and (hopefully!) more helpful. 

This look has been a go-to for me for months now. It's an everyday look that is quick and easy. This is the exact makeup look that I wore in my latest outfit post, Totally Tropical. 

Now, this is a Get Ready w/ Me post so apologies for the crazy hair. ;)

I hope you enjoy!

Step 1:

First, I start with my face. I moisturize, then apply a primer all over. Next comes foundation. Recently I've been using 2 foundations, different brands and colors, to create the perfect shade. Revlon's PhotoReady Foundation is my FAVORITE, I use the shade 006 Medium Beige. I mix one pump of that with a small drop of  L'oreal Infallible Pro-Glow in shade 209 Caramel Beige. I brush that mixture on all over and blend with a Beauty Blender.

Beauty Favorites

Happy Hump Day beauties!! I wanted to thank everyone for their sweet comments on my photos here on the blog and on Instagram! I've been asked a few times what makeup I use so I decided to share with you some of my favorite products :) I do LOVE makeup and I try many different products but recently I've been hooked on a few.

Usually during the week I go for a more clean look consisting of BB Cream and/or foundation, blush, mascara, and lipstick. These 5 items are my go-to every day!
  1. I LOVE this foundation. I started wearing PhotoReady over a year ago and I haven't looked back! I've tried mineral makeup and other liquid foundations before but none gave me the coverage and dewy look that this one does. I loooove it. Now, there aren't many colors to choose from (the "catch") so I do mix two colors. Natural Beige and Golden Brown are my girls ;) I use the lighter color under my eyes and then mix the two for the rest of my face. Easy peasy.
  2. I'm sure you've all heard of BB Cream by now. I swear every one makes one now a days. Those of you that aren't familiar with BB Cream, it's basically a tinted moisturizer. It evens tones, hydrates, protects...all that good stuff. It's perfect to wear alone (especially for those who are blessed with flawless skin) or under foundation. If I'm having a good skin day I use this as my "foundation". I am almost done with my 1st tube of Medium Deep and I'm defiantly purchasing more. Garnier also makes an anti-aging  BB Cream ;) I think I'll try that next!
  3. Now sometimes us girls need some extra coverage and that's where concealer comes in. I just bought this PhotoReady concealer and I must say that I do like it. It comes in only 3 colors (boo) and I have the middle color. I do like it for under the eyes. I apply it softly with my finger or with a concealer brush :)
  4. This blush is major!!! It's Margin by MAC Cosmetics. I used to (and occasionally still do) use Nars "Orgasm" blush but since I tried this one I'm addicted. It gives you such a great glow. The color is like a pinkish bronze and it's perfect for year round. Defiantly one of my all time favorites!!
  5. Last by not least, mascara :) I change mascaras more than I change...never mind. Lets just say I'm always looking for the next best thing. This Colossal Volum' Express in pretty good and it is my go-to when I accidently buy a crappy one. If you have a fav mascara plllease let me know!
Products 1, 2, 3, and 5 can be purchased at any drugstore, Target, or Walmart. I prefer Walmart because they're cheaper ;) Number 4 can be purchased anywhere Mac Cosmetics are sold. I hope you try these products out and please share your favorites!
