Updated Contour Routine

"Change is hard at first, messy in the middle, & gorgeous in the end"

So, at first this started as a Kylie Jenner makeup inspired tutorial, but then it turned into my own thing. I'm actually very pleased with this look! Hope you all feel the same!

I'm Back.... and I Have Makeup!

I know, I know. It's been a really long time since my last blog. So where have I been you may ask? It was my last few weeks of my sophomore year of college, so I needed to kick it into high gear and worry solely on my school work. Now that I'm done and officially have my associates I'm back! I'm very pleased to say that I ended my year with all A's and will be moving in August to attend a university!
Anyway, lets jump right into what my post is really about, which is makeup! I'm going to show my go to eyeshadow using Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette.

Tarte is probably one of my favorite brands, but I felt like their foundation was drying out my skin so I stopped using it and started using another foundation to treat my dry skin. A wonderful lady in Seophora introduced me to Maracuja Oil by Tarte to help treat my dry skin and so I can use Amazonian Clay foundation again. I was skeptical, because I don't like the idea of putting oil onto my face. She assured me it wouldn't do that, because it's made with all natural ingredients, so that's a huge plus! I decided to go for it.

I only use this twice a week to help moisturize, firm, brighten, and have smoother looking skin. I must say that it does exactly what it says it will do! I just use three drops and apply it evenly onto my face. I thought that it would make my skin feel greasy, but it's really lightweight and leaves my skin looking refreshed.

The only dilemma I had with it was that I was under the impression to use it in the morning before my makeup and in doing so it made my makeup look really oily and not cover as much as it normally does, but it turns out this is a nighttime only moisturizer. Maybe I should have actually read the box before hand!

I have been using this for about a month now, so I'm not in the "it's new and I love it" stage, because of that happy I have a new product stage is why I wait a few weeks or month to actually set a firm honest review!

I really recommend this product to people who have dry skin!

How Much Is Your Face Worth?! ~TAG~

I saw this tag and decided to take part in it, because it seemed like a lot of fun! This is my daily work face when I actually have the energy to do it that is. Somedays I won't wear eyeliner or eyeshadow or even contour my face, but this is my go to everyday face.

February Favorites!

Hello everyone! I know I'm a few days late, but here are my February favorites! Okay, so these products have been my absolute favorite things in February, obviously lol. I pretty much use all of these things everyday, besides the setting spray and the lipstick. I love reading when other people post their monthly favorites so I figured I would post mine.

Hi everyone! The other day I went and bought some products that I have been wanting for such a long time. I inserted some photos, but this is really about is the mascara I bought!

Contour Routine with Drug Store Brand Makeup

Lately this is how I've been doing my contour and I find that it's very natural looking, but adds that little extra definition. Here's what it looked like in the end!

Happy Day After Valentine's!

Since yesterday was Valentine's Day I figured that I would share my makeup look and the outfit that I wore!

So, I'll start with my outfit.

Kat Von D Lock-it Tattoo Foundation Review

Kat Von D Lock-it Tattoo Foundation.

I always find that during the winter my face becomes unevenly toned, so I like to buy a foundation that has more of a full coverage to even my skin out. I went to Sephora and I explained what I wanted and as usual they let me test some foundations. I loved Lock-it Tattoo by Kat Von D! It had great coverage, didn't look cakey and matched my shade, so I bought it.

After a few days of using it I realized that I did not like it at all! After a few hours it becomes crusty looking and oxidizes to a orange color. Also, it's very hard to blend it because it is a very thick liquid. It just ends up streaky and smearing down my face by the end of the day, but when first applied it looks even and looks really good!

Overall, I do not like this product.
