I have been trying out new products/using some products I've had lying around for some time and I've come to truly love a handful of them. They range from high-end to drugstore, so there are some pricey but also affordable products I'm going to talk about. So let's jump right into it...
First things first, I want to talk about this bad boy! The totally awesome Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation in Medium Neutral ($39 at Ulta). I purchased this on a whim at Ulta one night and I am so glad I did, it is absolutely fantastic. The shade is perfect, it is definitely full coverage, it doesn't fade throughout the day and it keeps me matte. I mean, what else could an oily girl want in a foundation? I have applied this with a brush and a damp Real Techniques sponge and I find I prefer it with the sponge. It takes a bit to really work it into my skin because it's a moussey consistency but when it's all blended it makes me look FLAWLESS! I love love love this foundation and I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind spending a little more on a high-end brand.
Next up is the ever so popular Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless in 235 Pure Beige ($7.99 at Ulta). I have owned this for quite sometime but it was too dark for me so I didn't wear it very often until summer came and I got a tan. I was curious to see how this would hold up during the North East's very humid summer and I have to say I'm impressed. It goes on nicely and blends like a dream with a damp sponge. It's a little too light for me now since I've gotten a pretty deep tan but once I add bronzer and the works it looks great. It certainly holds up to it's name and keeps me flawless, matte and poreless all day. I love this and will continue to repurchase.
Not much to say about this, Maybelline Matte + Poreless Pressed Powder in 235 Pure Beige ($7.99 at Ulta). It's a great powder, I use it to set my whole face and touch up throughout the day. It is the same color as my liquid foundation, it's the perfect matte powder and makes my skin look great.
I am OBSESSED with this eye shadow trio! The Wet N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio in Walking On Eggshells ($2.99 here). Holy crap guys, THIS IS AMAZING. I saw Kathleenlights use it in a tutorial, went to my local CVS and scooped it up ASAP! The color pay off is incredible, the colors are gorgeous, they are the perfect warm colors. I use this all the time, at least once a week. I use the colors exactly as they're labeled, a little childish I know, but it looks fantastic. I can't say enough good things about this trio. You need to go and get it right now!! LOL but seriously it's the best and for such a low price you can't go wrong.
BROWS!!! I can't get enough of this stuff.. ColourPop Brow Color in Bangin' Brunette ($6 here). It is so creamy and goes on super smooth. I draw and shape my eyebrows with this stuff and then brush out the harsh edges with a spoolie and voila! perfect brows. If you haven't tried anything from ColourPop I suggest you do, their products are super affordable and totally amazing.
I've got 2 products from Too Faced here and for good reason, because they're incredible. The Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara ($23 here) and the Mascara Melt Off ($17 here). I know I am so late on the Better Than Sex bandwagon but oh my God!!! WHAT WAS I WAITING FOR? This mascara makes my lashes looks so great. It is so black, doesn't clump and makes my lashes super long and voluminous. And the Mascara Melt Off works wonders! I just brush it on my lashes, let it sit for a minute and then remove my make up as normal. The mascara literally just melts off! I highly recommend you try it if you have problems taking your mascara off. I am forever a fan.
Last, but not least, is the Noyah Lip Gloss in Malbec ($16 here). Gosh, this color is gorgeous. It is a beautiful bright pink but is sheer enough that it doesn't looks harsh on your lips and it's not sticky at all. Thank you, Boxycharm. :)
Just letting everyone know these are all my own opinions, I purchased everything with my own money and none of the links are affiliate links, I just thought it'd be easier for you guys if you were curious about them. I hope you all enjoyed this post and I hope it was helpful. Please come back again!
