Daily Makeup Routine!!!

Hey girls! Ok, there's not really an introduction to this post, so lets just get straight to the point!

 (just saying- all the products I use can be found at drugstores)

1) I moisturize my face and neck with Simple Hydrating Light Moisturizer.
2) I spray the Elf Makeup Mist and Set spray all over my face.
3) Now, I put on the Maybelline Colorstick Concealer on any red spots or under my eyes.
4) Next, I either put on the Fit Me foundation by Maybelline in the color 125, or I'll put on the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation in the color Nude-Light.
5) I set this with an Elf Clarifying Pressed Powder in the color Ivory.
6) Now i will use the Elf Golden Bronzer Palette and use the color in the top left, which is a medium-light brown color, and contour it.
7) Now I'm gonna use an Elf Blush in the color Glow, which is a peachy-coral color.
8) I take the Little Black BeautyBook "cool python edition" palette by Elf, and chose a shimmery, golden brown eyeshadow, and apply that all over my lid. I will go over that with a matte off-white so that it pops out more and so you can tell it is there underneath the eyeliner (because i have very small eyelids).
9) Now I will take my Essence 100% Splashproof eyeliner pen in Ultra Black, and apply a thick line to the upper lash line, and wing it out.
10) Next, I'm gonna take my Avon Ultra Luxury Eyeliner in Black, and apply it about 1/4 way through my waterline, starting from the outer corner.
11) I apply a few coats of the Waterproof Maybelline Falsies Volum' Express mascara in the color Brownish Black
12) I usually take a Wet n Wild Lipstick that is similar to my natural lip color, then go over that with the Hard Candy Plumping Serum - Volumizing Lip Gloss in the color Life Preserver.
13) Lastly, I will take the Elf Mist and Set spray once more and spray all over my face.

This process usually takes me 15-20 minutes in the morning. If you were wondering what brushes I use, they are all Elf ones. So as you can tell, most of the products were Elf and Maybelline- My two favorite makeup brands. Sometimes I like to switch up my products, but as of right now, this is my daily routine.

So I hope you enjoyed reading about how I do my makeup everyday! I've gotta go drink some apple cider!

Cya!

ULTA!


Hey everybody! So I went to Ulta Beauty Supply about two weeks ago for the first time and I loved it there! If you have never been to Ulta, it is basically a large makeup store that has high-end products AND drugstore products. They had brands from Revlon to Urban Decay! I bought all drugstore products when I was there. I got 3 NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils, they were originally $4, but they were on sale for $2. I got them in the colors Black Bean, Dark Brown, and Milk. I love all of them, but I think that they should make them waterproof so they don't rub off during the day. I bought one other NYX product, which is the Eyeshadow Base. I got the skin toned one and I honestly don't like it that much. Some people say that it is like Urban Decay Primer Potion, but I don't think it did a good job at all. It did not make the eyeshadow look more visible and it did not protect the eyeshadow from creasing throughout the day. On the other hand, I was very impressed by the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation. I have never tried a product from this line of Maybelline before, but I liked it! The name pretty much speaks for itself. It is a foundation, in the form of a mousse, and it makes your face very matte. I have tried applying it with a makeup sponge, and a brush, but I found that the best coverage was by just using my fingers. I barely have to use concealer on any imperfections if I use this, and that is good because it saves time! I also got the Maybelline Falsies mascara, and I just posted a review on that, so go check it out! The last product that I bought was from a brand called Essence. It is the Sun Club 100% Splashproof Eyeliner pen (that's a mouthful!!!). I have noticed that all of my liquid eyeliners have been rubbing off and creasing throughout the day, and I realized that none of them were waterproof, and I found this eyeliner pen for about $3! I use this product every day! I love it. It glides on very nice. The felt tip could be a little smoother because it is kind of rough, but that doesn't bother me that much.

So I hope everybody liked this post, and I will be posting an updated daily makeup routine soon!

TTYL!

Quick Review! Maybelline Falsies Mascara

 Hey everybody! Sorry its been like 5 months since I've posted something! So I just wanted to do a quick review on the Maybelline Falsies Volume Express mascara. I LOVE  this mascara. I use it every day when I'm getting ready for school in the morning. It is quite "volumizing" and it separates my lashes very well. For extreme volume, I like to apply the L'Oreal Voluminous mascara, then the Falsies. I think that eyelashes one of the most important features of a person's face. And I think that mascara just makes the lashes look so much more longer and prettier.

An Ulta haul/review is coming soon! Stay Tuned!

New Favorite Nail Polish!

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted the hair tutorial yet. I haven't had time! I will get it up soon.

So I recently bought the Sinful Colors Professional nail polish in Fusion Neon 60 and it is my new favorite nail polish. I put on a first coat and was slightly disappointed because it left streak marks, but then I decided to apply a second coat and it covered up all of the steak marks.

This nail polish brand is my ALL-TIME favorite. It's only $2 per polish and the colors are super pigmented. I just love it.

Current Favorites

Hey everybody! I thought that I should share my current favorites with you! BTW: This is not listed in any particular order. 1- bodycology - enchanted forest body cream: I use this body cream on my legs, arms, and hands. It acts like a great moisturizer and it lasts all day long. It makes your skin feel so smooth and it smells really good, but it's not too strong. It's made with shea butter, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and Aloe Vera. 2- elf- Complextion Brush: This brush is so soft. I use it for blush and powders. It works great and it was only $1! 3- illegal length mascara: This mascara separated my lashes really well and also makes my lashes look really long. 4- epielle- Green Tea Cleansing Tissues: I use these wipes to remove my makeup. They smell so good and remove my makeup very well. 5- Proactiv Green Tea Moisturizer: This moisturizer keeps my face hydrated. But it doesn't last very long. 6- Maybelline One by One Volume Express mascara: I like this mascara if I am wearing a light amount of makeup because it doesn't show up that good unless I add a lot of coats. 7- Avon Ultra Luxury Eye Liner: this eyeliner is the most pigmented eyeliner that I've ever had. It works wonders for me. 8- Covergirl Clean Foundation: This foundation covers up any places that need to be corrected and it matches my skin tone perfectly. Well, that's it for this post! I'm going to have a nail tutorial and also a hair tutorial posted probably by the end of this week. So, Stay Tuned! ***Sarah***

aussie Moist Conditioner-Revitalizer: REVIEW

I recently bought this conditioner. IT WORKS WONDERS. It makes my hair super shiny and soft. I would absolutely repurchase this product. If you have rough or coarse hair and want it to be soft and shiny, then I recommend this for you. It smells really good. It reminds me of some sort of fruit mixed with a floral scent. I don't have much else to say because I absolutely love this product. There is nothing that I don't like about this product other than the fact that it runs out really quickly. It's absolutely amazing.

Have any requests? Leave a comment!
See Ya!
