Favorite Makeup Products!

Makeup is a girls best friend
I thought I would share my favorite makeup products! Most of these I have been using for at least a year. I love them all dearly. Also, basically all of these I use everyday.
Enjoy :)

Face Products: For face products I usually stick with either Maybelline or Covergirl. My favorite foundation of all time is the Covergirl outlast stay fabulous. It is considered a three in one foundation so it has foundation, concealer, and primer. I am VERY loyal to this foundation and highly recommend it! My current powder that I have had for a while is the Maybelline Fit Me powder. I don't think there can really be a bad powder, unless its chalky, but I really do like this powder! For bronzing products I have used Estee Lauder's bronze goddess for ever. This bronzer has probably lasted me at least 3 or 4 years. It's really good and is matte which is nice. Recently, I picked up Maybelline's Master Hi-Light in nude and I love it. It is a nice mix between a bronzer and a highlight. For concealer I use either my Physicians Formula stick concealer or a liquid Mary Kay concealer. Both work great and cover up blemishes well.
My shades: Ivory Covergirl foundation , Ivory Maybelline powder, Light Physicians Formula concealer,  Nude Master Hi-Light, Bronze Goddess bronzer.

Eye Products: For eyes I mainly use three palletes. One is a Mary Kay trio that has a shimmery creme, plum, and dark purple shade. It is from the Mary Kay Play collection. Another palette I use a lot is a Lorac pallette. I'm not sure the name of it because it doesn't say on the package. But I love the neutral tones it has! Another palette I use often is the Stila watercolor palette (limited addition). It has great green and smokey eye tones. For mascaras I like Rimmel London and Covergirl products. My current favorites are the Covergirl clump crusher and the Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Flex. For eyeliner I either use a gel Rimmel London liner or Maybelline's master precise liquid eyeliner. For my base I usually use a creme eye shadow. My all time favorite is Benefit's R.S.V.P. It is a gorgeous pearl shimmery shade and looks good under basically everything. I am also a big fan of the Maybelline color tattoo's, my favorite color is Inked in Pink

Cheek Products: I am a blush person! I love the different shades of pink you can get with blush. Three of my favorite blushes are from NYX. Their stick blushes are great! They last a long time and are easy to apply. I simply apply it with the applicator then blend it in with my finger. I also love their powder blushes. Two other blushes I love are Milani's Luminoso and Physicians Formula's Happy Boost blush in Pink. All of these are great light shades and are perfect for everyday wear.

My Shades: NYX stick blush in Orchid and Tea Rose, NYX powder blush in Pinched, Physicians Formula powder blush in Pink, and Milani's powder blush in Luminoso.

OOTD: Neon and Floral

July 30th, 2013:

My outfit today was pretty simple actually. Today I ran a lot of errand type things. I went to the mall with my mom and brother because we had a 40% off coupon for American Eagle. So, usually when that happens we take a big trip and stock up on whatever we need. I will do a blog haul tomorrow for all of the things I got (it's kind of a lot). Also, we went to Carson's to try and find sheets because basically we don't pass up any opportunity to get a deal on college things. Then I picked up some makeup from Macy's with a gift card from my birthday. Finally, I went to Victoria Secret and somehow used three free underwear coupons at once. The lady claims she's not allowed to do it but lets face it, I was going to come back and get the underwear anyways so might as well just give it to me now.

The Outfit: I have shown you this shirt in a blog haul and here it is in action. I paired the floral button down with just simple jean shorts. Spicing things up a bit I added the neon belt along with a pair of my mom's vintage Keds (Surprisingly they are in perfect shape! S/O to my mom for never throwing anything away..... Then to complete the look I added red lipstick (Apocalips to be specific) and my new favorite necklace combination.



Where it's from: 
Shirt: J Crew 
Shorts: American Eagle 
Belt: American Eagle 
Shoes: Keds (vintage) 
Necklace: J Crew 
Monogram necklace: Dry Goods 
Bracelets: Henri Bendel, Alex and Ani, and Dry Goods 
Earrings: Nordstrom Rack 

 

Makeup Blog Haul: 

So here are the items I got from Macy's they both are Benefit products. 
I have had the cream eyeshadow in this color before and literally used every single bit of it. This was my middle school obsession so I thought I would try it out with the new packaging. Along with that I got the lip gloss in Kiss You. This is new packaging for their lip gloss as well. I had one of the old lip glosses before the new packaging and I really liked it. (Again from middle school. I had a tiny Benefit makeup obsession.... not really sure how I got a hold of $20 lip gloss but who knows.) 

Also, I'm not sure if you could tell but the lip gloss is named after a One Direction song. YES I went there. But, the color is really pretty. My friend recently purchased it and it looks great on and its pretty in the tube. I will also do swatches of these once I do my makeup with them. 




Thought I might add these pictures of my Dunkin' Donuts breakfast. Gotta love a cute sprinkled donut right? 


Lastly a mirror selfie in American Eagle. I never do these but I thought the outfit looked kind of fab in a weird kind of trampy way. Don't worry I wont wear a crop top out without a high waisted shirt. That is just a major no no.
