Go-To Tuesday

Alrighty friends, I’m so excited to share with you my go-to false eyelashes that you NEED to try. I’m so obsessed with these Moxie Lash false lashes and magnetic liner. They are so easy to use and will change your falsies game for good! How to use? It’s so simple, you apply the liquid lines along your lash line (I usually apply it over my usual eyeliner). The liner is slightly chalky as hard to get a clean line which is why I use my usually eyeliner first. Then you wait to minutes for your eyeliner to dry. Once dry, apply your lashes to the eyeliner. That’s it! It’s so simple and worth the money. It’s slightly pricier but you aren’t applying mascara to these so they can be worn long. I highly suggest these to anyone that loves falsies but doesn’t love applying them because of the glue. Click the link below to be take to the link to the product.

Well hello,

Do you ever notice yourself always grabbing the same color lipsticks over and over again? Cause, same! Then, I’ll make a conscious effort to try one of my other millions I own and then usually regret it. So I figured I’d share with you my top 5 lipsticks that I’m always using. Let’s get started:

The Lipsticks:

(Links to products are connected to the photos and hyperlinks.)

Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint in “Uncuffed” : This gorgeous mauve-y pink is perfect for day to night transition. It’s such a stunning lip color on because it’s not your typical bubble gum girly pink. It’s quite a sophisticated pink and would look great on women of many ages.
Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in “Ruler” : If you follow along with my Go-To Tuesday’s, you would know that this is my go-to red lipstick! I’m so obsessed with it and don’t know what I’ll do when this color is discontinued. Up until this point, there were only a few red lipsticks that looked good on me but they always smeared so quickly. In that case, you have to worry about applying powder to your lipstick and constantly be check on it and making sure it isn’t all over your face. BUT, I don’t have to worry one bit about this matte lip ink. This lipstick stays on ALL DAY and barely needs reapplication. The formula that Maybelline has come up with is truly incredible and I highly suggest it to anyone!
Ciaté London Glitter Flip Lip in “Infamous” : Glitter Flip has been around for a couple of years now (which is why mine doesn’t have the logo on it anymore). I’m a big fan of anything that is shiny and glittery which is why I wanted to originally try this out a few years ago. This color it’s also a mauve but after two minutes, you press your lips together and glitter appears. This glitter in the lipstick is not a look that everybody loves for themselves, but if you do, this is the one for you! In addition, it’s currently on sale on Sephora for $9.50 in most of the colors.
NYX Slip Tease in “I Woke Up Like This” : If you’re in need of an amazing nude, satin lipsticks then look no further. This is my lipstick that looks great with anything I’m wearing. It looks very natural while still giving a slightly dramatic vibe. I hate the look of a nude lipstick that makes me look dehydrated so that’s why I love this lip. Its dark enough that you can see it in pictures and far away but subtle enough as well. Overall, it’s a solid nude lip choice.
Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick in “Trendsetter” – Sometimes, when applying lipsticks, that pink and red simply won’t do. That’s where my Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lip in “Trendsetter” comes in handy. This lipstick is a brown nude with a little orange undertone. You can tell by the swatches that it’s similar to the NYX lipstick but still darker. This is definitely a lipstick I use when I’m in search for a more dramatic look. This liquid lip stays on for a good while too. Definitely a great choice!

Swatches:

And that’s it! Share with me below what’s your absolute favorite lipstick, I’m not opposed to adding more to my list. 😉

Go-To Tuesday

I’m very excited to share with you all my go-to face wash today. Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea Cleansing Gel has been my favorite face wash for the last 6 months. Since I’ve been using it, none of the others I’ve tried have compared. I’ve tried others while using this (usually samples I’ve received) and I always find myself reaching for Tarte’s again. The Cleansing Gel comes in a bottle that you pump the product out of. This makes using it very easy and saves you from using too much of the product at once. Usually one pump will be perfect for a full face wash. I have had this current bottle since April and I have only used about half of it. This product retails for $25 but is so forth the price. A lot of times, if you purchase it on Tarte’s website, you can find a discount code online. If you click this link below, it will take you to a link that will give you a 15% off coupon once you enter your email address.

Hey Friends,

I’ve recently been checking out all these different beauty products that spark my interest but I haven’t committed into buying any of them. So I figured why not make a list for you all (and let’s be honest, for myself, too) of all these super intriguing beauty products. I mean, why not treat ourselves to something that’ll make us feel beautiful and confident now and then? So scroll down and check out My Beauty Wish List for Summer 2019. (And feel free to send me any of these if you’re feeling generous! 😜 hahah). Anyway, the wish list awaits…

Jovia’s Place I Am Magic Foundation: This Foundation had been tested by makeup gurus such as Nikki tutorials and Jeffree Star and they were both obsessed. So needless to say, I’m in desperate need of this foundation. Best part? They said for as high quality this Matte Foundation is, the price point is incredible. Price: $20
Beauty Bakerie Matte Lip Whip (Salted Caramel Mocha): I’ve been dying to try this lip product for a few weeks now. I’ve had my reservations from it because of not ever using products from this company. But this color looks stunning and I always how the lip product looks in photos. Price: $20
Yes to Cucumbers Cooling Hydrating Primer Stick: One of my favorite Instagram beauty gurus, @annalovesu, featured this primer on her videos recently. She said that this is her newest favorite primer and I’m so intrigued by it. Best part about this is the price point! Price: $9.99
Huda Beauty Resting Boss Face Waterproof Setting Spray: Setting spray? Really? Haha yes really! This Setting spray was specifically designed to be almost like hairspray (which is what drag queens use to keep their makeup in tack.) PLUS, it’s waterproof and this girl needs all the helps she can get when it comes to the hot summer months!
Tarte Rainforest of the Sea High Tides and Good Vibes Eyeshadow Palette: I’ve been eyeing this palette up since it’s release date. I love the colors included and the glitters are amazing! 😍 Price: $39 —- If you want this product, you can use this link for a coupon! https://share.tartecosmetics.com/x/QOBNru
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream: Who doesn’t want a cream that’s supposed to tighten up your bum and help with cellulite!? I know that I was all about it after reading what it was designed to do. Whose ready to give it a spin for some nice tight cheeks!? 😜 Price: $45
Dose of Colors Matte Liquid Lipstick (Warm & Fuzzy): These lipsticks always look so pigmented when being worn and the colors are so rich! Dose of Colors have definitely intrigued me with their liquid lips and I NEED to try! Price: $18
Verb Sea Texture Spray: I’ve seen a couple bloggers rave about this texture spray and I wanted to get my hands on this ever since. These girls said that it gave their hair the exact texture they were in need of in a few sprays. What’s a better time to have a Sea like texture to my hair then summer? Price: $16
Huda Beauty Not Your Mama’s Panty Hose All Over Body Highlighter: Glow all over? Sign me up!!! 🙌🏼 I don’t think this needs to much introduction more than that. Huda knows what she’s doing when it comes to makeup and I always am dazzled with her makeup. I take one of each please. 😉 Price: $49
Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation: Many have said that this is the holy grail of foundation and now I NEED to try. Who can hate on a foundation that’s basically a real life filter? I’m ready for my close up Mr. DeMille! Price: $42

So as you can see, I’ve been eyeing up TONS of beauty products (you’re welcome for torturing you with all new products to want and try. 😋) What’s your most recent beauty product that you’ve been pining over? Share below!

Well hello friends!

Welcome or welcome back, I’m really excited to share this new post with you all. This is my Full beginner makeup look under $60. I decided to do this because I know a lot of people that have no idea where to even begin when it comes to makeup. Therefore, why not make a starter place for those of you that have no idea what you’re doing. This post can also be for those of you that are in need of a new foundation, mascara, blush, or maybe even just a cheaper option on those days you’re just running to the store and don’t want to put your more expensive makeup on. Now for some of you, $60 may seem like a lot to spend on makeup but it’s actually not very easy to buy a full face of makeup for that. You can easily spend $100 or more on products that will give you close to that full face of makeup look but not even completely. I did the hard work for you and found products that I love and would be best for beginners to use. Follow along as I list the products I used and how to achieve this look (featured above) for under $60!

Wet n Wild photofocus Foundation

EcoTools Total Perfecting Blender

Hard Candy Look Pro! Highlight & Contour Face Duo Stick

Airspun Translucent Loose Powder

NYX Micro Brow Pencil in Brunette

NYX Lid Lingerie Eye Tint in Rose Pearl

e.l.f. Blush Brush

NYX Ombré Blush in Nude to Me

Tarte Travel Size Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-one Mascara

Maybelline Lash Sensational

Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink in Seductress

Start with making sure that your face is clean and moisturizer. Since we are not using a primer, we need to make sure that our face has a base before we put our foundation on.
Now that we moisturized, it’s time to put on the foundation! Wet n Wild’s photofocus Foundation had a wand attached to it that I use to place the product onto my face.
Grab your Ecotools Total Perfecting Blending makeup sponge and turn your water on in your sink. Place your sponge under the water and squeeze it so it absorbs water. Then remove the sponge from the water and squeeze the excess water from it. You want your sponge damp but don’t want extra water in it.
Now we can use that makeup sponge to blend in our foundation that we placed on our face. Use a light bouncing motion to blend the foundation in. Make sure you are blending it in all over your face, ears, and down your neck. We want the product to match all surrounding areas so it doesn’t look like we have multiple skin tones.
Once you have finished blending in your foundation, grab your Hard Candy Look Pro! Highlight and Contour Face Duo Stick and use the lighter side first. Apply this to your under eyes, bridge of your nose, then moving up to your forehead and feathering it out. Then take the other end (the darker part) and apply this to your jawline, the space under your cheekbone, and on the outside of your forehead. Once you’ve applied your highlight and contour to your face, grab that makeup sponge and blend in that makeup.
Grab your Airspun Translucent Loose Powder and dip your makeup sponge into powder. Place the powder under your eyes, under your contour (the spot between your jawline and space below your cheekbone. Also place the powder in between your eyebrows where we placed the highlight earlier. I like to also go over my face and apply the powder to the places that feel tacky. The reason we are placing the powder is to set this makeup for long lasting wear. We are gonna keep this powder on our face for a little and come back to it.
While we let our makeup set with the translucent powder, let’s grab our NYX Micro Brow Pencil and outline our brows. I like to start with the top and use a fairly light hand, especially if this is your first time. Once you’ve outlined the top and bottom brows, start on the inside of your brows and start to lightly feather your strokes so they match the hairs in the center of your brows. As you work your way towards the center of your brows we can start to darker the color a little. Continue coloring in until you have acquired your desired brow.
Now we are grabbing the NYX Lid Lingerie Eye Tint and applying this to our lids. Use your desired amount and blend with your fingertip. Try to not apply this too far up your lid, just slightly higher than your crease.
Remember that powder we placed all over? Well grab that e.l.f. Blush Brush because we are about to brush that all away. Go back to that excess powder and brush it off your face.
Grab that NYX Ombré Blush And use the e.l.f. Blush Brush to dip it in the product. Take the brush and apply the blush to the apple of your cheeks and up towards your high cheekbones.

Tarte Travel Size Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara

Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink

**Below I’m going to feature more products that I feel will help this process go smoother or help. You don’t need these, but they will help. These products exceed the $60 limit but I figured I’d include them in case you’re interested.

Powder Brush

Eyelash Curler

***If any of these steps don’t make sense, check out my video below for an idea of how to do them.

And that’s a wrap. Let me know what your think of this video and if it has helped you or not. I’m more than willing to do more videos like this with suggestions. Let me know with comments below or on Instagram.

Go-To Tuesday

When applying our makeup, it is so important to have the right tools to pull the whole look together. Makeup brushes may seem like your last priority to buy but when it comes to a brush like this, it’s worth the buy. That’s why I use the Sigma F8 Flat Kabuki Foundation brush. This brush leaves an amazing finish to my foundation. It’s spreads it very easily and it doesn’t absorb a ton of the product. Before I used this brush, I always felt like my foundation was just absorbed into sponges and brush and I never got the full amount on my face. This brush distributes the amount of foundation that I intend for my face. The flat top to this kabuki also insured that the foundation isn’t streaky when applied. This brush is about $25 and definitely worth the price. If you purchase on the site for the first time you can receive a discount code, which is what I did when I first purchased it. Try this brush out, trust me, you’ll be hooked!

Welcome back y’all,

Today I’m excited to finally share with you this look. I’d like to think of it as a subtle glam makeup look! Who doesn’t love to try and be glam in any situation? Well this look will help you create it in a subtle and gorgeous way. Follow along below on the products I used and a step by step on how to create this look. Follow along with the video if you get stumped on any of the steps. Trust me, if I can do this, anyone can! 😁 let’s get to it:

Products:

Pencil Eyeliner- Dark

Pencil Eyeliner- Light

Blush & Highlighter

Liquid Lipstick

How-To Video:

Step by Step Turotial:

We begin with applying the NYX High Definition Primer all over the face.
Then we take the NYX Total Control Drop Foundation and Farsali Rose Gold Elixir (I tagged the mini but the regular size is EXPENSIVE! Haha) and apply that all over your face. I apply it with a foundation brush (I prefer the Sigma F80 brush) and then you want to take a beauty blender and blend it all in.
Next we grab our Creaseless concealer (33N Medium) and apply it to all the places you want to highlight on your face. Check out my video if you’re not quite sure exactly where to place your concealer. After that you want to grab your Hard Candy Highlight and Contour stick (Medium- you can also use this highlighter if you don’t have a concealer that is lighter that your foundation) and apply to the places you want to contour. Again, I have included a video above that will show you places that many people tend to place their highlight and contour. Do what works best for your face! Once you’ve placed that in your desired areas, take your beauty blender and blend those into your foundation.
Next I grab my Covergirl Professional Loose Powder (Light Translucent) and dip my beauty blender into it. I then “bake” my face by applying the powder on the places that I highlighted my face with the concealer. Typically, your concealer is sticky and tacky so the loose powder helps set the product for a long days wear. Tip: if you can see the powder on your face, you’re doing it correctly. Don’t blend into your face… yet! We’ll get there, just let the face “bake”, hah get it now?
After I’m finished applying the setting powder, I grab my Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion to set my eyes before applying eyeshadow.
While I wait for that to dry and set, I grab my NYX Micro Brow Pencil (Brunette) and outline my eyebrows very lightly (watch video to see how I did it exactly). After I use the Pencil, I grab my Busy Gal Brow Tint (brunette) and fill in my brows with this product. To finish off my brows, I grab the Ardell Brow Sculpting Gel and apply this onto to my brows to even out the product/set it.
Now here comes the fun part, eyeshadow! Grab your Bling Boss Eyeshadow Palette and dip your fluffy brush into “Hush Hush” and blend it into your crease.
Next dip a more dense brush into “Mystic” and lightly apply this to your outer corners. BLEND WELL!
After that, dip another brush into “Ballsy” and apply to your inner corner out towards your last color application. Blend those colors together.
Last, dip your finger into “Bling Bling” and apply this color to your brow bone. This helps give a little pop of shimmer to your brow area.
After eyeshadow application is finished, go back with a fluffy brush and brush off that excess loose powder that we were “baking” with.
Before we can move onto lashes, we have to grab our Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner and create a low key cat eye look.
Now, onto those luscious lashes ladies! Grab your House of Lashes Siren Falsies (or any pair your have laying around) and use your Ardell Lash Adhesive to apply to your lashes. While letting your lashes dry and set, grab you Morphe Color Pencil Eyeliner (Dark Room) and apply on lash line. Then take your NYX Wonder Pencil (Light) and place on your waterline.
This is the perfect time to apply blush and highlighter (which I didn’t feature in this video). I have a blush and highlighter palette that is quite similar to this Lorac one (I would use Blossom on cheeks & Opalescent as a highlighter).
Last but not least, what fun is doing your makeup and getting all dolled up without lipstick? Grab your Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid Catsuit Lipstick (Berry Recognize) and apply this gorgeous color to your lips. FYI: my dancers use this color for their dance competitions and the color looks amazing on every skin tone! I highly recommend this product if you’re looking for a great vibrant color that isn’t a red.

And that’s it! This look usually takes me about 35/40 minutes to accomplish this fully look, which may seem like a lot of time to some people. I think it depends on your pacing and allotted time but it could probably be done in a half hour. If any of these steps are new to you they may take a little longer to do at first. Thank you so much for following along though. I’ve had a lot of fun creating this video for your all and hope you enjoy. Let me know if there’s any specific palettes you’d like to see tutorials with or certain products that you’d like to see me use next!

Hello makeup lovers,

Today I’m excited to share with you my recent haul/favorites from one of my favorite makeup lines, Tarte Cosmetics! Tarte has been one of those companies that has been growing on me the last couple of years. I know that Tarte has gotten a bad wrap from famous makeup gurus and such in the past but I have to say that I personally love them. Recently they just finished up a sale (which is when I do most of my shopping from them) and I bought a couple of new products & some I needed refills of. Before I share with you all my recent purchases and my favorite products I use by them, I wanted to share why I use their personal website to order their products.

For starters, multiple retailers sell Tarte Cosmetics including Ulta and Sephora. You may be asking, why doesn’t she just order it from there? Well, I’ll tell ya why. Tarte Cosmetics has this really awesome point system on their personal website (tartecosmetics.com) that gives you points just for signing up for their system, browsing their website, creating a profile, following their social media accounts, buying products, and more! Rewards include percentages off purchases, money off purchases (up to $20), Tarte specialty gifts, and also makeup. It may not seem that exciting to you but it only cost 800 points to receive $10 off a purchase which is really awesome. I loved that these points gave such an exclusive coupon that saved me a nice chunk of change. Depending on how much you spend will determine the amount of points you’ll receive. I’ve noticed that the majority of the points given out after purchases have been anywhere from 25-150. With these points, it’s not super difficult to get to the better prizes available. You only need to make a few purchases before you’re ready to use those points on some good coupons or free makeup.

Not only is the point system make it all worth it, the sales that frequent on the site are a big selling point to me as well. Sephora rarely has sales and Ulta usually only includes prestige items in their sales for a very limited time. Tarte Cosmetics website pretty frequently has sales going on and cool promos for their customers. When there isn’t a sale currently going on, I also figured out a way to get a percentage off a purchase. As long as you have an account and are logged in, I usually placed multiple products in my cart on my safari and leave it there for a day or two. In two days, my email will have a coupon code for 15% off to go and buy those products that are still in my cart. So if there isn’t a sale going on, that’s a good trick to keep up your sleeve. I also have a link that I’ll leave right here that will also give you 15% off your purchase (this one you won’t have to wait around for 😉).

Tarte Cosmetics Haul: New products!

(Products are linked directly to the pictures)

My Other Tarte Favorites:

1. Busy Gal Brows in Medium Brown (This product is amazing because it’s super easy to apply and only take 5 seconds each eyebrow. It’s truly the busy gals perfect brow product!)

2. Pro To Go Palette

3. Tartiest Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint in Bestie

4. Rainforest of the Sea Radiance Drops (Not only is this great for creating a dewy look under your mascara but you can also use this as a highlighter.)

5. Color Splash Lipstick in Pink Sands

6. Rainforest of the Sea Sizzle Eyeshadow Palette (The best thing about this eyeshadow palette is the pigment is super blend-able and it’s suggested that you apply the product with your fingers for the best result. It’s makes it super easy to use for a makeup lover at any level.)

7. Creaseless Concealer in 33N medium

Create this look:

I used all the products from Tarte Cosmetics that I featured above to create this makeup look in this photo.

Following along step by step to create this look:

Starting with the foundation that you’ve already applied, grab your Creaseless Concealer and apply it to your under eyes, bridge of your nose, and in-between your eyebrows feathering up towards your forehead. Blend that into your foundation.
Next, grab your bronzer that came with your Girls Just Wanna Have Sun Set. Apply the bronzer in the area below your cheekbone (the hollow area) from inner ear to area below the center of your eye. You want that line your creating with the bronzer to aim towards your mouth in a downward diagonal .
Make sure your use your setting powder to set your foundation and concealer before moving onto the next step.
Moving onto your brows, grab your Busy Gal Brows and brush it over your eyebrows.
Now grab your Pro To Go Palette and dip your brush into the color ‘crisp’. Place this color into the crease of your eye and buff it in until it’s blended well.
Once you’ve blended ‘Crisp’ in your crease, pull out your Sizzle Palette and apply the color ‘high tide’ to your mid mid to outer corner. Then dip your next finger into ‘kite surf’ and fill in that color from your inner to mid mid. Lastly, dip your finger into ‘playa’ and place it on your brow bone. If you want to place a little bit of sparkle on your brow bone you can dip your finger back into ‘kite surf’ and swipe that below the brow.
Once your eyeshadow is applied, make sure you go back with your fluffy powder brush and brush off that excess powder. Then grab your blush and apply that to the apples of your cheeks.
If you’re an eyeliner type of gal, apply your eyeliner and then grab your mascara included in your Girl Boss Goodies Set. Apply the Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara to your lashes below you apply your fake lashes.
It’s FALSIES time!! Grab your Lights, Camera, Lashes Falsies and apply these beauties to your lash line.
Once your lashes are on, there is only one more step for us to take and that is lipstick. Grab your Tartiest Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint in ‘Bestie’ and apply that to your lips first. Once dry, go in with your Color Splash Lipstick in ‘Pink Sands’ and put that over top the matte lip paint. I like to apply it overtop because the color pops over the matte nude.

And just like that, you created a fabulous Tarte makeup look! Have fun creating your own looks with all the different colors these palettes and sets include. I bet you’ll love what Tarte has to offer!
