Have been really lazy lately. REALLY lazy. haha therefore my outfits have been uninspired-- unless you call velour track pants and American Apparel hoodies inspired....(yes...sadly I did say velour track pants =//) in that case i would probably take you to the hospital for intensive treatment for brain damage-- ANYWHOO I thought I would do a daily makeup routine since blogs are supposed to be entertaining, and not depressing (like my outfits). A rule of thumb I usually go by for the days that you dress totally UNFABULOUS is to compensate by making doing your hair and makeup to prevent you from looking like a slob, or homeless, whatever. Take a look at my daily must haves:
- Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion: This stuff is my best friend. It's the first thing I put on in the morning and the last thing I put on at night. During the wintertime I get really dry around the..muzzle (hate to describe my face to words used to characterize a dog...but thats all I can think of to describe that area around your mouth) and this stuff works wonders to keep my skin from becoming flaky and dry. It's light and oil-free so it's good to use in winter or summer.
- CG Smoothers Tinted Moisturizer with SPF15: I never used to really wear any type of face powder/foundation/tinted moisturizer except for when I would attend the occasional high school dance or It's light, it's easy to apply, and it has SPF in it which is really great for preventing wrinkles. I usually apply this after I put on my moisturizer on my forhead, a little on the nose and around my cheeks underneath the cheakbone. wedding because I hate the feeling of too much makeup and I my worst nightmare would be hearing my peers refer to me as "cakeface". But I have a problem with an uneven skintone and slight redness on some parts of my face (and no, not on my cheeks, I wish!) so no face makeup made me look sort of splotchy and not very put together. So a nice common ground for me was tinted moisturizer.
- Benefit Eye Paste: No matter what, I NEVER leave the house without some type of under eye concealer. I'm seriously raccoon eyes without it, it's terrifying. This one is really good but if I'm feeling frugal I'll sometimes buy the Maybelline Cover Stick which is good too. I pat this underneath my eyes where those dark circles are and voila it looks like I've slept 6 hours more than I really did.
- N.Y.C. Eyebrow Powder: This stuff is great. I don't like to use pencils since the line is too harsh but this powder is really easy to blend and makes your brows look natural and groomed. The wax helps your brow hairs to stay in place too.
- Jemma Kidd I-Tech Liquid Eyeliner: Usually don't do this unless I have an extra five minutes to spare in the morning...which is not often. But when I do I try to put this on because I'm ALL FOR making my eyelashes appear a little bit more lush. This stuff is AMAZING. This is the first eyeliner I've tried that DOES NOT come off. I'm serious, rub at it all you want and this sucker will not budge.
- E.L.F Eyelash Curler: I love long and voluminous eyelashes. Which is sad because my eyelashes are short and sparse=/. That's why I always use an eyelash curler to trick everyone into thinking my eyelashes are prettier than they are ;).
- Maybelline Colossal Mascara: I only really like this because the packaging is so cute. It's bright yellow and fat haha. It's not my favorite but it's what I'm using right now. I usually stick with the good 'ole Maybelline Great Lash.
- Stila Convertible Color: This is really pretty. I usually buy this in the color Poppy which is a nice red color..but not too red don't worry you won't be looking like a clown if you try this. I like it because it's a cream formula so you can also use it on your lips!
- Nivea Kiss of Flavor Tinted Lip Care: I really REALLY love this tinted chapstick. The color is so pretty (I have Passion Fruit which is a red-ish color) and it smells FANTASTIC I'm seriously hungry everytime I apply it. This is a must. Especially if you don't really wear lipstick. Try this out. Definitely reccomend.
