Current and All Time Loves

I enjoy switching up my make up now and again so I am about to tell you just what I have been loving to wear/ what are staples in my makeup bag.

1. I'll start with what goes under all my makeup. Since I have dry skin I need a really rich moisturizers and that is where First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream come in for the win. I cannot rave about this stuff enough. It is so stinking good and moisturizing. It gives my face life and makes it look and feel so soft. If you have dry skin you must look into this product!

2. My all time favorite under eye concealer is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Treatment Concealer. Oh it's just so good and gets the job done. It's super thin while still giving good coverage and it doesn't settle into fine lines like other under eye concealers tend to do. Go get you some!

3. One of my favorite eyeshadow primers to use is the Urban Decay Primer Potion, just the original one. It works very well and makes my eyeshadow vibrant and stay in place, plus I think it neutralizes the color of my eyelids.

4. I have two very favorite eyeshadow palettes that I use every time I wear makeup the first one is another product from Urban Decay, The original naked palette. I'm sure everyone and their mother has heard of this palette. It is just plain great, enough said.

Urban Decay Naked Palatte - $54 at Ulta

5. And my second favorite is the Lorac Pro palette. It is equally as beautiful as the naked palette but in my opinion more versatile because of the equal amounts of matte and shimmer shades all in totally wearable colors. It is the perfect traveling palette, you can do easy day looks and sultry night looks with it.

6. This one is an old favorite, NYC sunny bronzer. I love this bronzer for my fair skin. It is a matte bronzer which I like, and it warms up my face and makes me not look dead! Another plus is that it's drugstore and super cheap!

NYC bronzer in sunny - $2.79 at CVS (that's crazy!)

7. My favorite blush to go to when my skin is looking a little dull and needs some life brought back to it is the Milani baked blush in Luminoso. It is a super pretty peachy color with a light golden sheen. I have to be careful not to be too heavy handed with this blush because it is quite pigmented and I am quite pale.

8. Last but not least is my go to lip color. I have really been experiment with my lip color lately but I always go back to the Revlon lip butter in pink truffle. It is a pinky brown neutral color that is so perfect for me. It is the best everyday lip color option that I have found.

That's all folks!

Woah, it Has Been a While

Oh my goodness it has been ages since I have had the urge to hop on and write something. What can I say, I'm a busy gal. It has been close to two years since my last post so I'll give a little update on my life. I am very much still in school, it is my final semester as an undergrad and I will be starting graduate school in the fall (fingers crossed!), I have been dating the most amazing man for the past two years that I plan on marrying after the hopeful graduation from grad school.

Me and my Love!

So let's just say that time to blog has been sparse. I was just sitting on my bed this evening and thinking,  this is my last semester and it's a pretty easy one, maybe I should start blogging before all the madness of grad school begins. So people I am back and I am going to be trying my hardest to give some love to this little neglected blog of mine.

Thanks for reading,

Emily
