Friday Face of the Day

Happy Happy Friday! 

I hope you have fun weekend plans ahead. 

Here's a quick FOTD post to share some of the beauty goods I've been 

using and loving! 

Seriously, how pale am I right now?!?! aghhhhh, get that out of here... I need SUN!!! 

So ready for some beach and poolside. 

Oh, and sorry about the light switch just hanging out in the background . 

I don't claim to be a photographer! 

So, in my opinion the key things that stand out in this look are 

eyes, cheeks, and lips so I decided to just share those for this look and 

not overwhelm you with everything I used. 

Blush: NYX Rose Garden 

a gorgeous bright pink with shimmer 

Highlighter: Lorac Perfectly Lit powder in Spotlight 

lovely natural beige highligher that gives a pretty glow being glittery 

Eyes: Hard Candy baked duo in High Maintenance 

a natural shimmery eye

Lips: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Smitten 

a brighter pink balm that stains your lip for an all day wash of color 

All of the products listed can be found in the drugstore other than the Lorac 

highlighter! I am loving drugstore looks and products lately! 

What are your current drugstore faves?! 

Friday Face of the Day- Bright Pink Lip

Happy Happy Friday!!!!

 

My Friday started with thinking today was payday only to discover it's Monday.

Boooooooo. There goes my weekend pedicure and H&M Spring shopping trip.

I'm still fuming over it a little.

 

I have bought a lot of new lippies for spring and I am loving incoporating brighter lips

into my spring routine!

 

My focus on this FOTD is a wearable bright pink lip.

 



 

I have been loving these two babies on their own or together.

 

 

Cover girl Jumbo gloss balm in #215 Watermelon Twist.

sheer color, soft shine, lasting ability

 

NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in #136 Dolly Pink

sheer color, shine, smells amazing

 

These are both drugstore lippies in the $5 range. NYX is not sold at most

drugstores, but can be found at Ulta.

 

This has been my go to fun pink lip for spring.

What's your favorite lippie of the moment???

 

 

Product of the Day- Primers

Today's POTD are two different primers that I use on a daily basis for 

prolonging my foundation and eye shadows. 

I have had friends ask me before (especially that have oily skin) how to get their 

make-up to last all day without running off and my answer is very simple. 

PRIMERS. 

There are many different primers on the market and you can spend a lot or you can

find some really affordable options at your local drugstore. I personally have opted

for the cheaper route b/c I feel like while it's a very important product it's not something

you actually see. 

My current foundation and shadow primers are:

On left is my foundation primer by Rimmel, Fix & Perfect. As you can see it claims to 

smooth skin and minimize pores. I can't say that I really tell a big difference in my pores, but

it does help my foundation last all day. This product actually comes out an orange color, but no

need to fret b/c it blends in to your skin without any color. It does have a different smell that I'm 

not sure how to describe. I personally like it a lot. It's not something that lingers or you will 

smell throughout the day, but when first applied you do smell. Retails at drugstores 

for around $5.

The primer on the right is for my eyeshadows and it's by NYX (sold at Ulta). It's 

packaged much like a mascara so the applicator comes out in a wand form. This is a nude

color that blends in to your skin. This makes such a difference in getting your shadows to last

all day without creasing, running, or fading! This retails at Ulta for around $5. 

These both are great products that will remain apart of my routine. I will never go back to not

using a foundation or shadow primer. Once you see the pay off of a lasting look it's a quick step you

will enjoy adding to your routine. 

What are your favorite primers? 

Friday Face of the Day

Happy Friday and start to your weekend. 

It's been a lonnnnng time since I've done a FOTD post and since I seem to be on a blog

roll this week I thought I would post my latest look. 

I didn't take a picture of the products used in this look... so if you want to see what they look

like just google them to get a better idea. 

My favorite part of this look is for sure the eyes. I don't think this picture does justice to the 

Wet n Wild "Silent Treatment" trio. I love the lid color in this palette so very much. It's a gorgeous

plum/purple taupe with a silver undertone that is a very unique color on it's own. I added the dark brown crease color on the outer edge of my eye and put the peach highlighter color under my brow. 

The price of the Wet N Wild Silent Treatment trio is a whopping $2.99 at your local drugstore and 

I cannot stress how incredible these shades are for the price. I can be really hesitant of cheap products 

and their payoff b/c often you get what you pay for. However, Wet n Wild really does have very

good formulated, well pigmented, and lasting eyeshadows!! This is by far my favorite trio and shades

by them b/c it really is so unique and works well with my dark eyes and hair. But, the purple 

taupe shade will work well with any skin/eye color. Go buy it.... NOW!! You will love it. 

Ok, so on to the origins of my face. 

Foundation: Clinique Stay Matte 

Concealer: Estee Lauder Double Wear

Blush: Lorac Velvet Rope (great matte baked blush for fall or year round)

Highlighter: MAC Soft & Gentle 

Eyes: Wet n Wild Silent Treatment 

Liner: Urban Decay Zero (black)

Mascara: Almay Get up & Grow 

Lips: NYX Beige gloss 

Have a wonderful weekend!
