WIWW: My Make Up Look

Today on the blog, we're talking my favorite make up products! I use to be a Clinique girl, but over the past year, I've switched to a variety of brands and I'm sharing all the ones that I love the most with y'all! 

For my 14th birthday, my mom took me to Clinique to have a "make over". I remember that day like it was yesterday, and my love for make up began! I wore make up before I was 15, but it was random Mary Kay (my cousin sold it) or whatever else my mom bought me. It wasn't until my make over that I really started thinking about what colors I should wear. Like I said above, Clinique was my tried and true brand. I was loyal. Crazy loyal. People would talk about how amazing Ulta and Sephora was, but I refused to believe, until I finally walked in to an Ulta store last March.

Around September 2014, Scheaffer, over at Pinterest Told Me To wrote this post and I was instantly inspired to try different brands! I could not believe, I was ready to branch out! 

In March 2014, I went to Ulta for the very first time. I was overwhelmed at all of the possibilities, but a sweet girl helped me find a few products that totally worked for me!
She suggested that I try CK one, for it's 3 in 1. CK one has a serum, primer, and make up in one, plus it has SPF, which is so important for keeping the sun at bay! I love the natural look that this provides!
She also suggested this powder, that I have used loyally over the past year. I typically buy powder in just a shade darker than my foundation. Rather than applying my powder with the sponge that comes with it, I use a powder brush. If I'm going foundation free, then I use the sponge, and the color comes off nicely that I can get away with a light make up day!




I decided to make a collage of the products that I'm currently using! (Just click on the photo, to find the deets!)

  • For my eye shadow, I love the Urban Decay Naked2
  • After a recent visit to Ulta, the salesperson recommended that I try Tarte powder rather than my CK powder. (My powder was sold out, so I had to get something!) Once she told me that Tarte make up was formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, and other harmful chemicals, I was hooked. I wish now that I would've put down my CK foundation just to try the Tarte foundation. I plan on trying it next time! After just two days of the Tarte powder, I'm hooked. 
  • I was recently given a sample of MAC False Lashes mascara, and I am loving it! It's a great alternative to my Younique lashes, although I am still using both! You can read my full Younique review here.
  • For finishing spray, I'm totally in love with Elf brand, available at Target! 
  • I told y'all here, that I bought Nars blush, and again, after having it for two weeks, I'm hooked.
  • Of course, I never leave home without my EOS. My girls are just as addicted as I am! 
  • And, after trying out three shades of Urban Decay lipstick, I've finally settled on my favorite shade~ Fiend
And, my make up look overall.
