My Plan To Pan List For 2023
Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! 2023 is right around the corner and it’s time to plan to hit pan (or completely use up) on products that I have had for a while or products that will be expiring sometime in 2023. I have quite a few makeup products that should keep me busy trying to pan throughout 2023, so let’s get into my plan to pan list for 2023: For The Face: Foundation: Maybelline BB Fresh Skin Perfector (in shade 110 Light/Medium), Revolution Fast Base Stick Foundation (in shade “F6”) Concealer: Garnier Clearly Brighter Anti-Dark Circle Eye Roller (in shade Light/Medium) Bronzer/Contour: Benefit Hoola Bronzer,…

5 Winter Makeup Essentials For Dry/Very Dry Skin
Doing your makeup during the harsh cold winter months can be challenging for dry/very dry skin types. Your skin is already sensitized from dryness, so stacking layers of makeup can further strip your skin of its natural oils and cause irritation or flaky patches of skin that peel through your makeup (especially around the mouth and cheeks). A winter makeup routine should focus on keeping your skin hydrated as well as providing adequate coverage, so here are five winter makeup essentials that I think will make your makeup life a lot easier (and everything mentioned in this post is affordable and easy to find at any drugstore or mass retailer)……

Walmart Beauty Haul (Birthday Edition)
My birthday was about three weeks ago, and I received a gift card for Walmart, so I decided to treat myself to a few makeup products that I have been wanting to try. Now, I have been using these products every day for three weeks, so here is my haul and my thoughts on each of the products I purchased: For The Face: My original plan was to purchase e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter, but this is completely sold out, so I decided to buy Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Perfector 4-In-1 Glow Makeup (in the shade “Light” $9.98. This is another dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter). All…

Makeup Monday: The Best Drugstore Makeup with SPF To Layer For Sun Protection
No matter the season or the weather, SPF is a step in your beauty routine you don’t ever want to skip! SPF ensures you are protecting your skin against sun damage as well as preventing signs of aging that is accelerated by sun exposure. So, there are two things you have to keep in mind: the “sufficient” amount of SPF for the face and neck is 1/2 teaspoon, and SPF needs to be reapplied throughout the day to stay effective. So where does that leave us makeup-wearers? I typically get the biggest dose of protection in my face moisturizer with SPF, but I do like to use makeup with SPF…

Makeup Monday: My Fast & Affordable Minimal Makeup Routine (Summer Edition)
There are days when we don’t have time to put on a full face of makeup, or we just don’t feel like putting on a full face especially during the hot, humid summer months. We have all been there, so I have updated my minimal summer makeup routine (which hasn’t really changed except for a few new products I am currently using). I still add some definition to the focal points of my face, but it’s as close to a no-makeup makeup look I can get while still feeling and looking put together. My current summer makeup routine consists of four steps but makes a big difference. You can recreate…

Here is a quick guide to help you pick the formula that will make your lashes fantastic… Lengthening Mascara Lengthening mascara are for those who have lots of lashes but want to make them longer and flirtier.

Makeup 101: Eyeshadow Basics
Are you unsure of eyeshadow? You are not alone! There’s a lot more to eyeshadow than swiping colors onto your eyelids. Achieving the perfect look consists of using the right tools, knowing your eye shape, exploring techniques and lots of practice, so to help you up your eyeshadow knowledge, I have listed everything you need to know about eyeshadow basics down below: Know Your Eye Shape When it comes to eyes, no two seem to be the same.
