  • Day 5 - Five Favorite Makeup Brushes

    ELF Studio Powder Brush (eyeslipsface.com)


    Perfect for blending and buffing in liquid foundation. Amazingly soft.

    Crown Brush Italian Badger Tapered Blush Brush (crownbrush.com)


    My favorite blush brush ever! I love the size and fluffiness of it. It’s like a big version of an eyeshadow blending brush lol.

    Sigma E25 Blending Brush (sigmabeauty.com)


    I use this for blending my under-eye concealer, but it’s just as amazing for eyeshadow! 

    Sedona Lace Vortex FB 05 Dome Contour Brush (sedonalace.com)


    The size is perfect for contouring the cheeks and the dome shaped top makes it efficient for blending!

    Sonia Kashuk Fluffy Eyeshadow Brush (Target)


    Since I don’t have the MAC 239, this one does its job for me! Packs on shadow perfectly and the size is perfect for any eyeshadow function basically. You could use it for your lid, highlight, lower lashline, inner corners, and even blending out the crease cos it’s fluffy!

  • Day 4 - Four Makeup Products You Can’t Live Without

    Jordana InColor FabuLiner Liquid Eyeliner

    I don’t know how many times I’ve already raved about this haha. Best drugstore eyeliner out there. It isn’t waterproof but stays on allll day and it’s SO freakin pigmented.. it’s a pen tip but it’s lasted me for over a year now. The tip is firm so it makes it so easy to make a winged liner too! It’s amazing. Only $1.99!!

    Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm in Peppermint

    I’ve never really thought about which lip balm is my all time favorite until now (I use and own about six at the moment lol). This lip balm is probably it. I always keep this in my purse and won’t leave the house without it. The smell is so addicting; it smells exactly like mint candy. Packaging is super cute. The product itself I’d give it a 5 out of 5. It does everything a lip balm should do; moisturizes my lips for a long time, doesn’t feel heavy on, gives a nice sheen, feels super comfortable on, not to mention it has SPF 20, which makes it ten times more better than any other lip balm I have! It just makes your lips feel and look so healthy!

    Revlon PhotoReady Concealer in Medium Deep

    I use this concealer to conceal my acne scars, but it works well for basically anything. It’s my favorite drugstore concealer. I won’t go too much into this cos I did a review that you can view here :) I explain why I love it so much! But one thing that I forgot to say in the video is that it comes with SPF 20, which is SO great for acne scars because you want to cover them with extra SPF when going out in the sun or else they can get darker.

    ELF Eyelid Primer

    So, how many times have I raved about this already?! Lol. Best primer ever for only $1! Keeps my lids matte all day. I use this sometimes even when I don’t wear any makeup just to keep my lids from being oily lol. No creasing whatsoever. Consistency is kind of like a cream to powder, which UDPP doesn’t have. Makes it easier to blend eyeshadow on it afterward. Love love loveeee.

  • Day 3 - Three Makeup Products You Wish You Had

    Shiseido Sun Protection Liquid Foundation

    Word on the street is that this foundation is even better than Chanel’s Vitalumiere Aqua! Enough said… It’s $10 cheaper too, AND has SPF 42 ;sakgklahkja ahhhhhh. Absolutely the best foundation for Summertime. Stays on all day even with oily skin. I’m just hoping they have a shade that matches me because their shades are fair - medium..

    MAC 239 Brush

    This brush would complete my eye brush collection. No company has ever come out with a brush so perfect as the 239. This is the only MAC brush I will ever want/need. So  expensive though ;(


    YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick #2


    This one in particular just screams my name. Ugh, I want this so badly! I’ve been trying to get more into nudes and this one I think would fit me perfectly. I don’t have many high end lipsticks, much less any YSL lipstick lol and ughh I just want this so bad! Everyone knows how amazing these lipsticks are.
