My Foundation Routine: July 2014

Hey guys, yesterday I was looking at my old Foundation Routine and noticed it had changed dramatically! So I wanted to do a Updated Foundation Routine. I have been wearing this makeup everyday this month. I didn't include brushes in this post but if u want me to do one then just leave a comment below.

The first thing I do is apply primer. My all time favorite primer is the L'oreal Youth Code Texture Perfector Pore Vanisher. Wooh, long name!!!!  This primer is almost an exact dupe for the Benefit POREfessional! I find that this keeps my makeup on longer then the POREfessional. You only need a dime size amount and that's perfect for ur entire face.

Technically I don't wear foundation because my skin just doesn't need it. Instead I have been mixing my Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream with my Benefit Watt's Up Highlighter. It gives ur skin a gorgeous fresh faced glow. If I'm not using the Benefit Watt's Up Highlighter then I'll use Girl Meets Pearl from Benefit instead. It just depends!!!

If ur like me and have dark circles under ur eyes then the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind in Brightener is perfect 4 u. As u can see I have used quiet a bit of this and will probably have to get a new one in the next couple months. I also decided to try the color Medium for more spot concealing and so far I love it!! U need such a small amount and it lasts all day long.

The only thing that is the same as my last foundation routine is my powder. It's the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Plus. It adds just a little more coverage so this combined with the Bourjois CC Cream it gives me the perfect even, natural look!! I hope u guys enjoyed this blog post and I will talk 2 u soon!!!

Hey guys, before I start my blog post I need to say sorry for not uploading a post in like 5 days. I have been busy lately but after this weekend everything will be back 2 normal. Over the weekend I came up with a NEW series called Best Of. Every category of makeup I'm going to show u my favorites. To start off my first Best Of I want to show u my favorite cheek products for summer!!

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Stereo Rose 

One of my favorite Mineralize Skinfinsh's from MAC is Stereo Rose. I love glowy skin for summer and this blush is perfect. It makes it look like ur just glowing from within. This blush would work on every skin tone especially when u have a tan from the beach.

Maybelline Master Glaze Blush Sticks in Barely Pink (Left)
and Enchanting Apricot (Right)

I love cream blushes especially when there in a stick from. Enchanting Apricot (LE) is a bright pinky coral color perfect if u like a little pop of color on ur cheeks. Barely Pink (LE) is my favorite everyday color if ur in a rush!!

L'oreal Visible Lift Blush 

Another type of cream blush is from L'oreal. It's their new Visible Lift Blushes in the color Soft Peach. This color is super pigmented so a little goes a long way! U have to apply it with a dense brush, I have not tried it with my fingers yet but I'm sure ur fingers would work perfectly!! 

Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush in
Peach Beach 

My current favorite is the Too Faced Perfect Flush Blush in Peach Beach. It's the most gorgeous bronzey color on the cheeks when u mix the three colors together. Not to mention the packaging is to die 4. The perfect blush to put out on ur vanity!! #loveit 

Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood
Boosting Blush in Natural 

My last blush is from Physicians Formula. It's natural on the skin and blends out easily. One of my favorite things about this blush is the heart design, it's almost 3-D!! I hope u guys enjoyed this blog post and I promise I will be back soon!!

Bourjois Haul + Review

Hi guys, I LOVE British Beauty Gurus and I always hear them talk about this brand called Bourjois. Of course me being the crazy makeup addict that I am I had to check this brand out but the only problem I had was that they didn't sell Bourjois in the United States! So I found this website called ASOS which sells Bourjois including tons of other brands. I tried to control myself which I think I did but that means know I want to go back order more items!!

The first thing I got was the 123 Perfect CC Cream which I heard Essiebutton talk about. This CC Cream is #amazing. I love mixing this with the Benefit Girl Meets Pearl which is a cream highlighter. In summer it gives u the most gorgeous glow on ur face and I have been using it everyday that I wear makeup.

One of my favorite things is blush especially cream. I only got 2 but secretly I need all of them! These blushes are so creamy and pigmented. Even the darkest colors can go on sheer. The color 04 Sweet Cherry is going to be perfect for the fall time when u want a deeper color blush. The color 03 Rose Tender I having been using everyday and is extremely natural on the cheeks.

The last thing I got was a Little Round Pot Blush in Rose Frisson. I have not worn it all day yet but the texture is super creamy. The only thing that I don't like about it is that there is #fallout. A lot of fallout not just a tiny bit but it's like u have to blow it away! 100% I would go back and repurchase more Bourjois and I would recommend for any of u to pick u some items!

My MAC Palette: Review + Swatches

Hey guys, first things first… I'm the realest!! Comment down below what song that's from!! I just wanted to say Happy July and I hope u have a great month. As u may know I love MAC eyeshadows so I thought I could share with u My MAC Eyeshadow Palette.

MAC makes different sizes palettes but the one that I have holds 15 eyeshadows. At first I started off with a duo then I found that I love the quality so I bought a x15 palette. You can either buy the eyeshadow in a pan to pop them into ur palette or a pot to carry them separate. I didn't buy all the eyeshadows at once because that would have been #toomuch.

The first three eyeshadows are more on the light side. Phloof! is the perfect inner corner highlight for that perfect bright eyed look and then u can use the color Malt for blending. Of course I have the color Jest I feel like this is such a popular shade perfect as a wash all over ur lid.

In the summertime I love those gold bronze colors and Honey Lust is the perfect color. This eyeshadow is especially pigmented and creamy. All That Glitters is raved about in the beauty community but I find that I don't really use this all the time. I tend to reach for Jest over this color. Wedge is darker then Malt but still one of those perfect crease colors for blending out when ur doing a smokey eye.

These next three eyeshadows I have a love hate relationship with. If u got the new Kelly Osbourne quad from MAC then Quarry would be the perfect color for u. It's a mid tone plumy brown that's matte perfect for making ur look a little more smokey. Cork is a golden brown color with a satin finish. I would recommended this color based on what kind of look u like to create. My favorite in this picture is Sable. It's a pinky bronze color gorgeous on the outer corner worked into ur crease.

MAC describes Satin Taupe as a taupe with silver shimmer and that's exactly what it is. I don't really find myself using this eyeshadow as much as my other ones. If I could I would probably pass on this one. Mulch is another one of those bronzy colors that is perfect for summer. From Antiqued on u will see a problem with reddish brown colors. 

The last 3 eyeshadows that I have are probably some of my favorites. I love creating deep reddish brown smokey eye looks especially in the fall time with these colors! I hope u guys enjoyed this blog post and I will talk to u soon.
