Everyday Makeup Products

NYX Control Freak Clear Eyebrow Gel: I have pretty sparse brows but this is really helpful for making them look a little more full, brushing them up and setting them in place.  

Sonia Kashuk Duo Blush in Glisten: I picked this up from Target on clearance and I love it!  It is the perfect color for summer.  It is so easy to use and provides both blush and bronzer in one sweep.  

Tartelette Matte Palette: This is my favorite eyeshadow palette at the moment.  The colors are so pretty and perfect for everyday wear.  They are matte so they are super flattering.  They apply smoothly and blend beautifully.  If you are looking for an eyeshadow palette this is one to check out!    

NYX Wonder Stick in Universal: I'm still a contour newbie but this little product is making it a little easier.  I don't use the highlighter as much but the contour stick is awesome!  I just swipe it in the hollows of my cheekbones and blend it in with a brush.  

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel: I have combination dry and oily skin.  I always need a lotion to moisturize my face but I need to make sure it doesn't make me oily.  This product is lightweight and also provides sunscreen which I love.  

Wet N' Wild Eyebrow Pencil in Blonde: I'm still working on my brow game, not on fleek yet.  This product is super cheap and I have really been liking how it applies.  

Rimmel Long Lasting Foundation: I purchased this foundation on a whim to wear at Disney and fell in love!  It is long lasting, has good coverage and feels good on my skin.  

Almay Smart Shade Lipstick in Pink: These smartshade lippies are some of my favorites.  I still struggle with finding the right shade for my skintone and Almay takes the work out of it.  This one is supposed to be a flattering match for fair skin.  I really like it, not too pink but enough to brighten my face.    

Rimmel Perfect Match Concealer: I love this concealer!  It hides everything I need to hide (bye dark circles), it isn't too thick and it stays all day.  Being that it is Rimmel it is super affordable too!  

e.l.f. Gel Cream Eyeliner in Brown: This eyeliner is super easy to use, just swipe a brush in it and draw it along your lashline.  It gives a pretty definition and doesn't look to made up.  It is a really pretty natural eyeliner look.  

CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion: Yay for drugstore mascara!  I love a good mascara and CoverGirl is my favorite!  This one plumps my lashes and doesn't get clumpy.  

Five Things Friday

Almay Smart Shade Light-Pink Lipstick: This lipstick is one of those smart shaders that are supposed to flatter your skin tone.  They have around 3 shades for each skin tone range (light, light-medium, medium, etc.)  Each set features the shades pink, berry and nude.  I picked up the pink for light skin tones and love it!  It really does flatter a light skin tone.  It is moisturizing and feels great on your lips.  The color payoff is great and it also stays on for a good amount of time.  It's a new favorite for spring.    

Special K Brownie Bites: Yummm!  For 100 calories these little guys pack good chocolate flavor.  They are perfect for providing that little amount of chocolate fix or sweetness without messing up your whole day.  Now they are pretty small and they aren't the most decadent brownies but when you are watching your calories these are a nice treat!

Walmart Canvas Shoes: I picked these up from Walmart on a late night random run in with my husband for $2 on clearance.  They are Vans look-a-likes and are perfect for throwing on with everything.  They did take a little while to break in (blister city) but now they fit like a dream and are one of my favorite everyday shoes.  For $2 you can't beat it! 

Jill and Jessa Counting On: The Duggars are back!!!  Y'all know I love the Duggar family and I am absolutely loving the new series Jill and Jessa Counting On.  I watched it when it first started a couple of months ago but they only aired two episodes.  They recently started back up and I could not be more thrilled!  I love this show even more than "...Kids and Counting".  It follows both of the girls who are married and adjusting to motherhood.  I love getting a glimpse into their lives and getting to see a little bit of the lives of the other children.  I love how they view life and how their faith is displayed so easily.      

NYX Wonder Stick in Universal: I picked this up at Dirt Cheap for $1 and absolutely fell in love!!  It is the perfect contour tool.  Now I am no expert at makeup by any means, and I am a total newbie at contouring.  This tool makes it a little easier.  I use the brown side to draw the contour lines and the illuminating end to highlight.  Then I use a brush to blend it all in.  It really makes a difference in your face.  Try it out and let me know what you think.

Favorite lip products for Spring

Spring is in the air and with that comes brighter colors, in nature, your clothes and makeup.

Here are my three favorite lip products that I love to bring out in the spring time:

NYX Simply Pink in SP01: I love NYX, high quality, drugstore price.  This line of lippies is all shades of pink.  I have the first one and it's just that a pretty, girly shade of pink.  Not too pink that you look like bubblegum but enough to wake up your face.  

Rimmel The Only One in Naughty Nude: I picked this one up on a whim and it's my first Rimmel lippie, but it won't be my last.  The shade says nude but it's really more of a rosey pink.  It feels great, stains your lips a nice color and lasts and lasts. I love colors I don't really have to think about and this one is great.  

Revlon ColorBurst Balm Stain in Honey: I have had this one for a year and bought it because of recommendations on YouTube.  Ahhh it is one of my absolute favorites.  Easy to apply, flattering color and just enough gloss.  It also stays on well and adds a little stain.  

As you can tell pinky colors are my choice for spring.  I'm more of a mauve girl in the fall and winter but I like to crack open some bright colors and wake up my face when the weather gets warm.
