Everyday Makeup ~

Hello! Most of these items in this post are my go to products for an everyday look. I've jazzed it up with a coral lip however, when I normally do a berry or mauve color. This is more of a summer time look as I tend to go a bit darker in the winter even though in California it never truly gets that cold! I use a mix of higher end and drugstore products but do lean more towards drugstore unless I feel like splurging :)

Not the best picture to show off the makeup since my bangs are in my face! But it's a simple look anyway :)

FACE: This YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat foundation was my fancy shamancy purchase while in Paris this summer. You can get this product in the states but it just felt special to buy it in Paris. Plus it was a tad bit cheaper. I have it in B40 and hope to get the matching concealer one day :) I have the Rimmel Stay Matte powder which is really nice. This is my first time trying it. And for the blusher I'm using Illamasqua powder blusher in excite. It's suuuuper pigmented and you really only need to do a quick dab to make your whole cheek coral!

EYES & LIP: On my lips I have Topshop infrared a bright orangey coral color. The eyeshadow is just the color sin brushed over my lids from the Urban Decay Naked Palette as I don't wear lots of eyeshadow too often. I have gone through at least three of these Revlon liquid eye liner they are so easy to use and stay on really well. The Chanel mascara was a hand me down from my mother who decided she didn't like it...I love it! It's really nice. I usually follow the ~rule that says drugstore mascara is just as good as high end so this is def not the norm for me!

lippy collection!

Hello! I decided it would be nice to take photos of and share my lip product collection! I really enjoy all of these lippy's so much and I found most of them because of beauty blogs! To be honest- I'm not great at eye shadow, so when I do want to change up a makeup look I always go for different shades of lipsticks. I don't have an extensive amount or anything but I do think I have a humble little collection :) I would recommend any of these brands (they are mostly revlon) and I know many of these products are already well loved by many!!

These are probably my go to types of lipsticks because they are not so expensive, pigmented, and come in so many colors! I'm not one to wear nude, or lightly colored lipsticks just because I don't think they suit me- I typically go for berry and mauve shades :) My most worn here is sassy mauve, it's so easy to throw on.

These lip balm stains are seriously amazing. They stay on so well and only need maybe one touch up during the day. They are quite drying though! My most worn is obviously smitten!

I recently got these lip butters and to be honest I'm not sure what took me so long! They are so lovely and great for those days when you don't feel like you need a strong lip but also don't want to have nothing on. Tutti Frutti is a bit more pigmented than the other two but still feels very smooth and moisturizing.

I got these apocalips on my recent trip to the UK and oh my goodness I am so obsessed I regret not buying more!! So bright and easy to apply. I hear we have them/are getting them in the states under a different name so I plan on hunting them down! I wear galaxy almost every day. Should have bought two!

Here are just some random lipsticks I have in my collection. Because they are so bright, I don't wear the two on the ends much. I have to be feeling very brave! Rebel however, is my go to color in the fall/winter. I know so many people love it and for good reason! I love collecting lip products and am hoping to get more lip butters and apocalips because they are both just so amazing. If anybody had recommendations please let me know :)

NOTD: Magpie & Utopia

Hello! Models Own is probably my favorite brand of nail polish, sadly it's not easy to get hold of if you live in the states. I did get Utopia on my trip to England this past summer and it's now one of my favorite colors! It's a greyish lilac color and I know I'm going to be wearing it to death this fall. I paired it with Topshop's Magpie which has loads of gold, pink & lilac sparkles in it. I think the two go well together if you want a bit more of a subtle glittery nail look :).
