My 5 Favorite MAC Products!

Hello Ladies & happy Tuesday! Yesterday my beautiful bestie shared with you her top 5 favorite drugstore cosmetics. Today I will be sharing my 5 favorite MAC Products. If you are anything like me you LOVE MAC! I swear I’m like a kid in a candy store.

I have tried many drugstore foundations & have not yet found one that I am impressed with. I am all about FULL COVERAGE. Studio Sculpt by MAC is like the holy grail of foundations. It lasts me all day & I never have to worry about my makeup separating.

You know those days where you wake up looking like a troll? You look in the mirror & think how on earth am I going to fix these massive bags under my eyes? Well, yes you’ve guessed it MAC has a solution for you & it’s called Select Cover-Up . After putting this on I feel like a whole new fresh-faced woman.

I have a secret for you ladies! I am OBSESSED with powder & quite frankly I might be a little too obsessed. If there is even a glimmer of oil on my face I apply powder like crazy. The problem is that some powders are very thick & may leave you with that “caked on look” if too much is applied. That’s why I love MAC’s Mineralize Skinfinish. I apply this stuff constantly and have never found my make-up to be “cakey”.

Now, let’s be honest we all want to look like a naturally beautiful little woodland elf. This blush color Melba makes you look like just that.

Last, but most certainly not least we have lipstick. I have been wearing the shade Snob any chance I get. The color is bright & happy & gives you that extra little pop of color.

I hope you enjoyed my Top 5 MAC Products! If you guys have any makeup products that you would like to share with us please place them in a comment below!

5 Favorite Drug Store Make-Up Products

Happy Monday! So today I want to talk about make-up, one of my favorite things!  However, I hate how sometimes make up can be a little pricey.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the big name make up brands like MAC, Lancome, Clinique, and Benefit, but there are some products that I prefer to buy at a drugstore (Target is my favorite).  I have compiled a list of 5 of my favorite  drugstore products that I have in my make-up bag that I LOVE! Hope you enjoy!

1.  NYX Liquid Illuminator

This highlighter is one of my favorite make up items! Mixed with a good contour, this highlighter gives you the perfect glowing, fresh faced look! (Be on the lookout for a highlighting tutorial in the near future)

2. NYX Setting Spray

My make up never feels complete without a setting spray to finish the look.  I have tried many different setting sprays and I can honestly say this one is my favorite. This spray sets your make-up and helps it last through the day.  I prefer the Dewy Finish look, but this product also comes in a Matte Finish as well.

3. Elf Cream Eyeliner

I have always been a huge fan of cream eyeliners.  In the past I would spend a lot of money to get the perfect eyeliner until I found this gem! Only $1 and it works just as well as every other cream eyeliner I have tired.  Seriously, if you haven’t tried it you should!

4. Revlon Brow Fantasy

I love this two in one eyebrow pencil and gel (You can tell from the picture that I clearly use mine a lot!).  It helps create the perfect shade and shape for your eyebrows! Love it!

5. Maybeline Full and Soft Mascara

Out of all of my make-up products, I am most picky about my mascara.  I am constantly changing brands to try and find the perfect one.  Recently, I came across this one and I have to say it may be a keeper! It makes my eyelashes look full, long, and beautiful.  Out of all the drug store mascaras, this one is my favorite.

I hope you enjoy the products on this list as much as I do! Feel free to comment and let us know some of your favorite drug store  make-up products! Have a fabulous week! xoxo

The Infamous Contour

Let’s talk contour!

Now I know what you’re all thinking, contouring is not an easy art. Does this go there? What do I use to contour? Why does it take so long? Is this supposed to blend? Well, fear no more! I am here to show you a quick & easy way to contour. Hooray!

The first thing you are going to need is The Sculptor pen by Tarte (found at Sephora or Ulta)! This pen makes it so easy to contour & has a very easy application.

Here is a look at where you should be applying your pen. Underneath your jawline, on both sides of your cheeks (right underneath your cheekbone), on your nose as shown above & on your forehead (I usually go from side to side). Keep in mind this pen glides on very easily so don’t use too much pressure or you might ruin your pen. . .yikes!!!

The next think you are going to need is your E.L.F. cosmetics Small Stipple Brush!

Keep your head up we’re almost done! You guessed it. . .now we blend! I like to blend the pen in a circular motion. Think of it as a pencil eraser, now you don’t want to make it so that your contour disappears altogether, but you don’t want to look like a comic book character either. The goal is to find the in between.

And there you have it! The finished product. Fast & affective! I hope you found this tutorial easy. If you have any questions please feel free to ask!
