-Eyes-

I don’t put on a lot of makeup, so I don’t splurge on expensive brand makeup. (I do, however, spend big bucks on my hair). So, most of my makeup is drugstore makeup, and it works just as well for me!

I recently tried out a new mascara called Flower, but I wasn’t crazy about it, and I came back to my good ‘ol Maybelline Great Lash. This mascara is a classic, and it’s easy to see why–it gets the job done, works well, and doesn’t clump. It’s a must-have in every makeup bag!

Isn’t this palette gorgeous?! For eyeshadow, I use the Need it Nude palette from E.L.F. I’ve talked about this in the past, but I can’t seem to stop sharing it. The palette has all your basic eyeshadow colors, it applies easily, and it lasts the whole day. What more could a girl want?

-Face-

Because of my blemish-prone skin, I can’t wear a lot on my face. I don’t prime or contour my face, I just wear foundation. I don’t think anyone notices the difference, anyway! For foundation, on special occasions, I use the E.L.F. foundation in the color Beige. I love this foundation, and when I run out, I’ll definitely buy more! When I’m not going out in public, I put on the Erase Paste from Benefit. It truly does a fantastic job of hiding my pores and smoothing out my face.

To blend the Erase Paste and foundation, I use this beauty blender. The handle makes blending much easier, plus it’s more sanitary, because my fingers aren’t directly touching the blender. Win-win.

-Lips-

For my lips, I love using chapstick and the NYX Butter Gloss in the shade Angel Food Cake. I have quite a few lip glosses, but I prefer the NYX one above them all, because the gloss isn’t runny, and it smells like heaven.

Before you leave, check out Alicia’s post & blog! Thank you for stopping by! Do you have any favorite products? Have a great day!

  6. Great post! I loved all the pictures. I don’t know why, but I always find it interesting to see what other people do with makeup. I really enjoy wearing it myself (although most the time I just dab on some mascara and a little cover-up and call it a day). 😀

  9. I started laughing whenever I saw Maybelline Great Lash because that’s the one all of my friends use and are constantly raving over…. Also I totally feel you with blemishes…. like every single time I wear foundation that’s more than just a thin layer I break out 😥 And my final complaint about my face is that I have to wear brown-based makeup because of my coloring so all of the pretty bright colors I want to wear, make me look like a clown 😦 (Great post by the way!)

    1. Well, it’s a classic and deserves the hype! and I’m glad I’m not alone–foundation isn’t friends with my skin. And aww, I’m sorry to hear that! I’m the opposite–I can’t wear brown-based makeup because it looks too bold against my skin. Thanks for reading, Amelie!
