My Beauty Tips & Tricks

I wanted to share some of my personal beauty tips & tricks that I use. You may already know them or do them but I just thought I could share!


  • Eyeshadow. I always apply my eyeshadow before I do my foundation. You tend to get fall out from the color of your shadow onto your cheeks and under your eye. After you worked so hard on putting on your foundation you would have to wipe all that shadow off and ruin your foundation.  So it's a lot less stressful if you do your eye makeup first.
  • Got plastic bags laying around the house? Keep them in your room next to your favorite lotion. I like to lather on my favorite lotion all over my feet and then put the plastic bags over my feet, tie it, and keep it on for a few hours if you're not doing anything. Who wants to have ugly feet? Flip flop season is around the corner! 
  • Lets hope you brush your teeth in the morning & at night. Don't get lazy, after your done run your tooth brush around your lips a few times and brush them. YES BRUSH YOUR LIPS! This will remove dead skin and will help with chapped lips. A cheap exfoliater. Then just apply your favorite lip balm. 
  • If you have a setting spray like Macs Fix+, spray some on your face before applying foundation. Also spray some on your foundation brush. Dab your foundation on the areas you need with your CLEAN fingers then buff it out with your foundation brush, that you sprayed already. This seems to give me a flawless finish.
  • WATER WATER WATER. Its your best friend! It keeps your skin hydrated. You will notice a difference in your skin, your hair, and in your overall health. If your not drinking water START NOW! 
Hope my ramble is helpful! Enjoy!

CHANELO UPDATE!

These Chanel polishes are amazing! I am in LOVE. They apply like a dream, and they actually dry rather quickly. This is the last color out of the three that I bought.

Sephora in the MAIL!!!!


So I was patiently (not) waiting for my Sephora package to come in the mail & it finally came!!!!
From left to right.

  • Rare Minerals Purely nourishing facial moisturizer. I just needed a new one.
  • Make Up For Ever full cover, waterproof, concealer. I got a sample of this from Sephora and fell in love. It covers up any blemish you have and give your perfect skin! ( not good for under eyes) 
  • Sephora Professional brush in 55. This is an airbrush foundation brush. I am a sucker for airbrush products and needed to try this one.
  • Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in Flash 756. A beautiful red with sparkle. Love at first sight! 
  • False eyelash applicator.Great way to apply falsies with half the trouble. 
Review on these products to come!

CHANELO!


I love love love nail polish. I decided to spoil myself with some Chanel polishes. The Black Pearl polish is the first one I put on and I love it. Its like a gun metal color, thats very in right now. It kinda looks green but thats just the pearlised black looks. The application is easy, the pay off is great, and its worth investing money in them. The ones i purchased are

Black Pearl 513 ( that i have one)
Paradoxal 509
Vendetta 483


They are very pricey but If you invest in the right colors they will last. 

*I will be posting pictures up of the other colors once I change Black Pearl ( which will probably be soon because I want to try them out =)
