Hello friends,

It’s that time of year again where Ulta has their 21 Days of Beauty sale! This is a perfect time to stock up on those favorite prestige items or finally try that $30 bronzer you’ve had your eye on. Either way, you don’t want to miss out on this sale PLUS it lasts for 21 days!!! Here’s the catch, there are certain days that certain prestige items go on sale. For example, tomorrow (Sept. 1st) is the first day of the sale and Benefit’s Porefessional Primer is 50% off. BUT, it’s only on sale Sept. 1st, get it? I figured you would! You can easily find the calendar online or in the app and I’ll feature it at the bottom of my blog for you to check it out. Let’s get started:

• Benefit the Porefessional Pore Primer: If you’re looking for a primer to look like a filter, then look no further. This primer by benefit will make all your dreams come true! Sept. 1st- 50% off- $16 for Mini, $27 for Regular

• Urban Decay Mini Eyeshadow Potion Primer and Urban Decay Mini Setting Spray: These two products from Urban Decay are my favs and to be able to purchase these and get another free on top of it is a steal! Sept. 1st- 21st- Buy 2 Minis, Get 1 Free

• Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzing Powder: I recently received a sample of this raved about bronzer and I gotta say, I’m very impressed. The consistency of the bronzer glides on so well and pleasantly surprised me. Sept. 9th- 50% off- $15 for regular size

• Tarte Lights Camera Lashes 4 in 1 Mascara: I’ve been using this mascara for the last couple of months and I love how light it is on my lashes. Usually the consistency of mascara weighs down my lashes but this mascara does not. It’s super light and lengthens my lashes like there’s no tomorrow! Sept. 12th- 50% off- $11.50 for Regular size

• Lilly Lashes in Miami: These faux mink lashes are so fluffy and gorgeous. I’m obsessed with them and they are worth the price but even better when you can get them discounted. Sept. 1st- 21st- 30% off- $18.20 for one set

What I Want:

• Peter Thomas Roth Max Complexion Correction Pads: I’ve read the reviews and I’m SOLD! It has a Peach Bellini (my favorite) scent and helps clear your face for acne purposes. I can’t wait to snag these during the sale.

• Maybelline Super Stay Ink Crayon in Lead the Way: I’m in love with the Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick so I’m super curious to try this crayon out!

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!

    Foundation- Wet n Wild photofocus Foundation (I used the color soft beige and Wal-Mart, CVS, and Walgreens all have this foundation if you need to find a match in color.) ($4.69)
    Lipstick- Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink in Seductress (This Lipstick is, by far, the longest lasting lipstick I’ve ever worn. It’s amazing! I’ve told my friends about it and they’ve fallen in love too. It’s got this amazing texture that when it’s on your lips, you can barely feel it, and when you look in the mirror you’re finally reminded you still have lipstick on. That’s the best kind of lipstick in my opinion.) ($6.64)
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
    I promise we are ALMOST done, Just two more steps! Now grab your Tarte Travel Size Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara and apply this to your eyelashes. I like to apply my mascara with a rolling motion going up to help curl the lashes as I’m applying the product.
    Last but not least, grab your Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink apply this lipstick to your lips. Try to make sure that you start at your Cupid’s bow and make your way out.

**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.

***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.

Welcome back all,

Today I’m bringing you some of my recent spring finds that I’ve been posting about on my Instagram stories and feed. I’ve been buying pieces here and there from different stores and couldn’t do a specific haul for you all, so I thought why not just combine them all for a recent Spring haul? So here we go friends:

Blue Light Blocking Glasses – About a few weeks ago I shared these glasses with you all on my Instagram stories and mentioned how these are supposed to protect my eyes from the blue light coming from our phones, tablets, etc. so far I’ve been using these almost every night I’m home while I lay in bed with my different electronic devices. I have to be honest, I don’t feel a huge difference BUT I can say that I feel like I get a better night’s sleep. Whether that’s psychological or the glasses are actually working, I’m totally okay with. Who could complain about getting good sleep? Haha

Dunkin Donut’s PEEPS Marshmellow Flavored Coffee – So I have to start and say that I don’t have a link for this new flavored coffee because it can only be purchased at Dunkin Donuts. What I can tell you is that this flavor is surprisingly good. I’m not a PEEPS fan at all but this coffee taste very good. If you were on the fence about giving it a try, I’d say go for it. It has more of a vanilla flavor than anything else. So, go for it PEEPS! 😉

Crystal Sandals– I just received these shoes yesterday so I couldn’t feature them in the photos but you HAVE to click the link and check these out. They come in 3 different colors and the sandals are stunning! 😍 I’m so excited to pair these with a cute spring dress and wear them out and about.

American Eagle Shorts from TJ-Maxx- Unfortunately, I couldn’t find these shorts online anywhere but let me tell you all about it. These shorts are a STEAL! Super comfy, cute, can be dressed up, and only $6!!! They had multiple different styles and patterns of these $6 shorts and I am living for them. I’m all about looking cute and feeling comfy, so if you are too these shorts are for you.

Pacifica Face Sunscreen and Travel Size Hawaiian Tropic’s Sun Tan Lotion – If you followed my post from a few weeks ago “What’s in my Bag? -Disney Edition” you will notice that I already mentioned these sunscreens before. Well I wanted to get on here and share with you all that I found both of them at TJ-Maxx for $2.99-$3.99. So if you’ve been looking for them, check out your local TJ-Maxx in the Beauty Aisles.

And that’s all folks, if you have any questions about any of these purchases don’t hesitate to leave a comment. I’ll make sure to get back to you ASAP. What your most recent Spring purchase?

Welcome back friends,

I’m so excited to share with you all that in just one week I’ll be at the Happiest Place on Earth, Walt Disney World! It’s truly one of my favorite places to be and I can’t wait to be back. I thought while I was packing it would be fun to share with your guys my must haves that I pack for park days. Below I have listed and linked the items I never leave behind when I go to any amusement park. Here they are:

  1. iPhone Fan
  2. Portable Phone Charger (This is not the same one that I own, but I thought this was incredibly cute and on sale for a great price.)
  3. Face Sunblock (Amazing sunblock, especially underneath your makeup. Highly recommend this for anyone in need of a skin protector.)
  4. Sunblock & After Sun Lotion (If you noticed in my picture featured above, I have a travel sized bottle of each of these but couldn’t find a link to them online. Instead I featured the full bottles products. What I like to do is if they don’t have a travel sized product that is a favorite of mine, I purchase those travel sized TSA approved bottles and fill those up with the desired product.)
  5. Friction Defense (No shame, I gotta protect these thicker thighs of mine and use this stick to avoid getting blisters. If you like wearing shorts in warm weather but have problems with your thighs rubbing, try out this stick. It’s a life saver and keeps you pain free during your vacay!)
  6. Instax Mini 70 & Film
  7. Umbrella (I own a Vera Bradley one and have had it for 7 years now. It’s a great umbrella and still in quality shape. I linked an umbrella by Vera Bradley, just with a different pattern since mine is discontinued.)
  8. Hand Sanitizer
  9. LED Compact Mirror
  10. Lip Balm
  11. Sunglasses Case (I used to always end up with broken sunglasses at the end of vacations but no more with a sunglasses case. The one I have featured about is a Disney one but I linked a super cute one from Quay Australia that I think you guys will love.)
  12. Sunglasses (I didn’t link mine featured above because they are from last year but I purchased them from Charming Charlie’s.)
  13. Travel sized perfume (I linked the one featured in my photo above.)
  14. Tums Travel Size (Just in case you get a stomach ache, these are amazing to take care of you so you can enjoy your vacation. Usually when I drink a sugary alcoholic drink, my stomach starts to hurt a little, so I just pop one of these in and they make me instantly feel better.)

I usually try to only keep the essentials in my bag only because my back starts to hurt if I carry too much around. Hope this post helps you all out in your future trips. I plan on doing more “What’s in my Bag?” soon, so make sure you stay tuned!
