The Scoop: My Makeup

 Hi loves! 

Today I wanted to tell you about the makeup I love and use everyday.

I did a post on my skincare a little while back and it seemed to be fairly popular! I personally love reading what products other people love so I hope you do too.

Some of these things are new and some are old favorites but all of them have been in my makeup bag for at least a month.

I do use other things here and there but I wanted to show you what I couldn't live without!

Make Up For Ever Mat Bronzer: This is one of my favorites, and it perfect for anyone with a very light to medium skin tone. It has no red undertones, which is always the problem I found with bronzers. Definitely worth the investment, mine lasted at least 6 months.

Loreal True Match Blush: In the shade Rose, this is perfect for winter, giving me a glow without looking fake. 

MAC Fix+: This was a recent present from my best friend Jenny, and I'm already loving it. I spray it on top of my makeup to give that last little bit of "dewy glow" before I run out the door.

 Naked Palette: I got this for Christmas last year and haven't stopped using it. I bring it with me every time I travel and use it almost everyday. You can create everything from a natural look to a NYE smokey eye. I haven't tried the Naked2 but this one is great.

NYX Lipstick: Circe is my favorite nude. It's a gorgeous brown nude that is a little darker than Mac's Creme De' Nude. A $4 a pop, what's not to love?!

Maybelline Colossal Mascara & Lancome Artliner: My go to mascara+liner combo. This liner IS worth the money, as it draws amazingly and won't smudge. The mascara rivals some of my Sephora loves because of the collagen formula that builds amazing dramatic lashes.

Garnier Dark Circle Corrector: An under eye concealer that has caffeine in it, I use this when my eyes get puffy (oh yeah, that's everyday). 

Almay Clear Complexion & Chanel Perfection Lumiere: I mix these two foundations depending on how tan I am, but that are both amazing. Medium to very full coverage and a matte finish that doesn't look powdery or dry. I can't go without at least one of these everyday.

NYX HD Concealer: (At the left edge of photo) This is one of my favorite concealers. I use the light shade as well as the yellow shade under my foundation. It covers all of my acne scar redness and created a perfect base for my foundation.

What are your everyday makeup favorites? Leave me a comment! I love finding new products.

Tumblr Crush Thursday: Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving loves! I hope that everyone is taking today and spending time with friends and family while reveling in how lucky you are. If you even have a computer or phone on which you read this, you probably have a pretty blessed life.

Some things on Tumblr this week reminded me of why I am a truly lucky girl. 

In the week of November 19th I'm crushing on:

 Image 1: I'm thankful that I have a closet full of clothes that keep me happy and warm, even in harsh Ohio winters.

Images 2&3: I'm thankful that I have money to spend on my passion. That I can afford expensive makeup because it makes me happy. And that I have had true love--I know what it feels like to have someone who is there for you, to always make you smile, and put you first. Even if it wasn't a forever love.

 Image 4: I'm thankful that I've been blessed enough to travel the world at such a young age, and more is to come. Not many people can say they spend years in Europe as a child.

 Images 5&6: I'm thankful for the friends that accept me in all my goofiness, and are just as weird. It makes life fun...

 ...and the friends that have been, and will always, be there. No matter what. (1:2).

Image 7: I'm thankful that I can study fashion. And make a career out of what I love. And that I already have an amazing job that thousands of people would kill for. And the chance to work with a lot of other amazing companies as well, like CollegeFashionista (thank you, Amy!) and RenttheRunway.

Follow me on Tumblr for more amazing inspo! And follow on BLOGLOVIN' because it's an amazing way to keep track of all your favorite blogs!

No matter what you do or don't have, today is the day to appreciate all of the little things. I have an amazing family, group of friends and more. There is always something in life to be thankful for, we just have to take a minute and realize that. 

I hope you have a wonderful day & break amazing readers! I am so thankful for you, too.

And from a Black Friday employee...try not to go too crazy tomorrow!

Beauty Lusts

Sometimes I just need to gather all of my wish list in one place. These are the beauty and hair products I would love to have right now! 
First on my list: the 2" Hot Tools curling iron.

Kenra Hot Spray | MAC Fix+ | Bobbi Brown Concealer | Bioderma Cleanser
Hot Tools Curling Iron | Chanel Blush

TIP: I buy a lot of products from Amazon. Students get Amazon Prime for free (for a year) so shipping is free. Also, most of the time you can find the products much cheaper than on the brand website!

What's on your beauty lust list right now?

October Favorites

Hi loves! Today I filmed a quick video of my October Favorites. I thought you might me interested in seeing them on here as well! It's a total mish-mass of randomness (technical terms there) but they are all things I love deeply. 

If you cannot decide which of these fab things you want to try first, I would say the Real Techniques makeup brush is the best investment! It really will make your primer/foundation/concealer/powder go on so much better. This is coming from a girl who strictly used her hands to apply foundation FOR YEARS. It gives you more coverage and less germs. For a cheap price too! 

Check it out here.

If you want more details on any of the things i mentioned in the video, click on over to my YouTube page where it's all listed. 

What have you been fancying this month?!
