Forgot you had a Zoom meeting? Read this NOW!

hey all! i try to keep my everyday makeup routine as simple as possible. it takes around 10 minutes every morning and is perfect for a more natural look. Glossier. - Cloud Paint Seamless Cheek Color this blush is perfect! the color perfectly suits my skin tone and it takes the tiniest amount of product because it is so pigmented! OFRA - Versatile Matte Bronzer this bronzer is perfect for just a subtle glow! ANASTASIA Beverly Hills - Brow Wiz Mechanical Brow Pencil this brow pencil is perfect to brush out your eyebrows and then fill in any spots where they are a little thin. somehow matches by dirty blonde brows perfectly! Glossier. - Balm Dotcom i have this in mango and it smells sooooo good. it also has a coral pigment that is very subtle but still super pretty. NYX - #Thisiseverything Lip Oil i have a sample of this and it is the perfect lip oil! gives a shine and makes my lips sooo hydrated! Glossier. - Skywash i use this in the color pebble and it is very sheer. it takes a couple of coats to build it up but perfect for just a subtle look! it Cosmetics - Lash Blowout Volumizing Mascara in terms of mascara, this is not my favorite, but i often come back to it because of how easy it is to take off! and that's it! i hope you enjoyed this and/ or it inspired you! (all photos are mine)

I will never forget the first time I walked into a Sephora looking for something to use on my brows and was given the total. “One ANASTASIA Beverly Hills - Brow Wiz Mechanical Brow Pencil will be 21 dollars please”. I had 5 dollars on me😳. I found the results to be pretty great but that much for a pencil? I had to find something better. I began working at ulta and heard through many of my customers that e.l.f. - Instant Lift Brow Pencil was their beauty look staple and only cost them a whole 2 dollars. I had to try! I can now happily say I have been using this product for over 5 years and don’t plan on switching anytime soon. It goes on as easily as the ABH pencil, doesn’t smudge all day, and looks super natural. I even tried the e.l.f. - Lock on Liner and Brow Cream and got a more precise look using a thin slanted brush. The only reason I give that one 4 stars is because they don’t have a great range of colors so it was very dark (sometimes looking a little block-ish when I didn’t blend it properly). Love love love ELF!

Nothing like red lips to complete a look. All I did was do my regular face make up (foundation and minimal contour) DERMABLEND - Smooth Liquid Camo Foundation Too Faced - Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer DERMABLEND - Illuminating Banana Powder Filled in my eyebrows benefit - Ka-Brow! Cream-Gel Eyebrow Color with Brush Red lipstick KYLIE COSMETICS - KYLIE COSMETICS Matte Liquid Lipstick (I have eyelash extensions)

Shop soon to take advantage of the sale for holiday shopping or a treat for yourself! TATCHA - The Liquid Silk Canvas: Featherweight Protective Primer - I absolutely love this primer! As a person with combination skin, I try to not use heavy primers so that my pores aren’t clogged and my makeup doesn’t last, but this primer is so light. In addition to making your skin look great by blurring pores and lines while reducing oil, the floral fragrance and packaging are beautiful. On light makeup days, I love wearing this, spot concealer, and a light round of setting powder as a base. Kiehl's - Ultra Facial Toner - This is a new find for me that I picked up the other day and have already seen incredible results from! My typical combination skin has been dry in patches on my forehead and nose making it hard for me to wear foundation and or see any effects from my other skincare products. I decided to change my toner after seeing some reviews of this online and I’m so glad I picked it up. The fragrance is minimal, if any at all, and the hydrating properties are simply incredible. My skin feels smooth and the dry flakes have vanished over two days. Yesterday, I was able to wear my foundation for the first time since the summer without my skin feeling tight or having to slather on moisturizer. If you struggle with dry skin, take advantage of the squalane in this toner to revamp your skin! NARS - Soft Matte Complete Concealer - I purchased this concealer after hearing Mikayla rave about it on tik tok and needing a replacement for my benefit - Benefit Boi-Ing Industrial Strength Concealer that I’ve used for about a year! In comparing the NARS and Benefit, the NARS concealer has about twice the product! I’m incredibly pleased with this concealer’s ability to blend into the skin, be matte while not drying, and the pot packaging! If you’re looking for something to coverup a spot here and there, this is it. fresh - Rose Deep Hydration Oil-Infused Serum - I have an undying love for fresh products that began with thefresh - Sugar Lip Treatment Sunscreen SPF 15 about two years ago. Since then, I have tried thefresh - Rose Face Mask , fresh - Rose Deep Hydration Toner , fresh - Lotus Anti- Aging Daily Moisturizer , and many more. This product is no exception and is one that is hydrating while not greasy. I’m totally aware that oil in the name can be unappealing, but it provides a nice healthy glow, softens, soothes, and absorbs so quickly. This is great face serum/oil that I recommend to people with dry, combination, normal skin and those who are not sensitive to fragrance.

Loving the packaging on these guys! Glossier. - Cloud Paint Seamless Cheek Color love this stuff, but not quite as much as expected. I got the puff color, and while I love the color, it’s too pigmented for me. I end up having to rub it all over my cheeks just to make the color a bit lighter, then half my face is pink, instead of just the spots I want. It may be user error though, so I’ll keep trying. It truly lasts throughout the day, and I love the texture—super smooth on my cheeks. KYLIE COSMETICS - Kylighter this is meh for me. Again, possibly too pigmented. It really just takes a single swipe of the brush and you are good to go with pretty intense highlight. fresh - Sugar Lip Treatment Sunscreen SPF 15 I was so excited to buy this stuff because the reviews are amazing! However, since I was getting it more for the chapstick/SPF purposes, I wish it wasn’t quite so dark on my lips. It really looks like lipstick, but the color doesn’t last like a lipstick. tarte - Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush For the life of me, I cannot get this stuff to stick on my makeup brush. No color comes off, so I’ve pretty much given up on making it work. Hanskin - Hyaluron Skin Essence I use this when my skin is feeling extra dry, usually paired with my moisturizer! I haven’t noticed a huge difference when I use it, however. KYLIE COSMETICS - Vitamin C Serum this is the first Vitamin C serum I have used, so I don’t have much to compare it to, and therefore don’t want to give it a super high or super low rating! I really like the consistency—it feels more like a moisturizer, but sinks into the skin quickly. It smells slightly odd, but that didn’t bother me. Overall, I think it was somewhat brightening for me, but I didn’t feel like I saw a major change. Glossier. - Wowder Weightless Finishing Powder love this stuff a lot on my skin, but the packaging is frustrating. It has sort of a net material on the inside, making it kind of difficult to get powder out. I do feel like it sits nicely on my face and lasts throughout the day, just wish I didn’t have such a hard time getting it out!

This will probably be a controversial opinion since I will be talking about how much I dislike a particular popular product, but remember not products work great on everyone! I absolutely love Tarte and it was my first ever Sephora purchase! I bought the Tarte LipSurgence in Enchanted back in my undergrad years est. 2010-2014 😅. That’s how you know you’re loyal when you have been with a brand for more than five years! I remember seeing all of their cute campaigns and wanting all of it! Here we are in 2020 and I’m still buying more Tarte products! Let’s begin with one of my favorite items, tarte - Tartelette Flirt Eyeshadow Palette . I asked for this pallet last Christmas and after a little over a year, I am almost half way done with it. In case you are wondering what happened to the top middle shade, I tried to de-pan this shade and my tool when right down the middle 😔. Other than that you can see I have used many of the shades. This pallet has six shades in matte and metallics. It’s perfect for on the go and can be used day or night depending on the look you want to go for! I mainly wear neutral shades on the daily so this one is perfect for me! It’s only $19.00 and at this price, it’s for sure a area! Now to my controversial opinion... I dislike the tarte - Shape Tape Concealer 👀. Yes I know this is many people’s favorite but for me it’s not a fan favorite item. This concealer retails for $27.00 (0.33oz), first of all it’s on the more expensive side for the amount of product you get. Then I find this to be incredibly too thick - like you can’t blend thick. I wore it a few times and felt the makeup on my face - this never happens to me since most of the time I forget I have makeup on. It’s meant to do so may things like give “eye lifts and blur imperfections” but I am not sold on it. It kind of bums me out that I don’t love it but it’s okay because I know not all items work like they say they will. Anywho, if you love this item - I am happy for you! Maybe I’ll give it another chance but for now I’m passing on it! Cheers 👋🏼.
