What I put on my face.

Hello again! So today I'm doing a bit of a different post. I usually do an fashion/outfit entry . But I'm here to tell you about some of the products I'm using at the moment. I'm one of those people who loves trying new products. Which is why I usually spend way more time than needed in the drugstore/makeup counter deciding on what to buy. Unless I have help from someone, than I'm usually sold on anything. A friend of mine works at the Chanel counter, and she could probably sell me a bag of mud. The point is, is that I'll probably be doing many of these.
So here we go!





Face.
So for a cleanser, I've been using Dark Angels from Lush. And immediately fell in love with it. It leaves your skin soft and glowing. Yeah, I said glowing. Sounds too much like a corny commercial, but that is how much I love this stuff. It works like an exfoliator, but does so much more. I had my roommate try some, and she immediately ordered a pot for herself. From time to time I'll use tea tree oil after this, and it really makes a difference.

So Cetaphil is great for anyone and everyone. Just an all around good cleanser. I use this when I don't have much time to wash my face,so it's a good on the go sort of thing. A little lazy girl beauty trick.


And this moisturizer. I like Aveeno products a lot. Especially if you have sensitive skin. Mine gets irritated easily(yup, no smelly lotions for me), so this brand is great for that. Soaks in very easily, doesn't leave you oily. I'm still on the look out for a great moisturizer, so if any of you have come across one that you like, hollar at me!


Make up.


So at the moment I haven't bothered with foundation. I'm usually looking pretty good with just this BB Cream from Chanel and concealer. This is a very radiant BB Cream with a decent amount of coverage. I either put it on with a brush or if I'm being SUPER lazy, my fingers. Making sure my makeup looks natural is a big deal with me. So products like this are perfect.

So I've heard about this concealer for years, but never really tried it out until now. And when I did, it was like "Why haven't you come into my life sooner?". It's the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer. It keeps my under eye circles at bay, without it looking cakey. One piece of advice I tell anyone about under eye concealers, is make sure it's a liquid. Solid tends to sink into your lines, bringing out those under eye bags. Pretty much defeating the purpose. But anyways. this concealer is great for blemishes too. I give it about 13 thumbs up.
So I've using liquid eyeliner for years. And even with the experience, I'm still not the best at applying it. And I've used many different kinds, and this Almay one has seemed to work the best for me. It actually lasts all day, and easy to remove. Dries well, with a very noticeable color. Something I have had problems in the past with other liquid liners. So this one has topped them all. But still on the look out for the next greatest liner.

This Mascara…. I can't tell you how wonderful it is. Its the Chanel Le Volume De Chanel mascara. My friend who easily sold me on it described it by saying "it gives you Porn Star lashes, in a good way". But its true. They give you long, full, an fluffy lashes. So this product comes with the highest recommendations from yours truly.


So, I'm not much of an eyeshadow fan. Ive had on and off eczema  on my eyelids since I was 5. But when its not being a pain in my butt,ill use a bit of eyeshadow. I'm a fan of the neutrals plus a little bit of gold/tan to bring out my blue eyes. This Naked Basics palette does it for me. Even has colors for on the off chance I need to fill in my brows,or don't have eyeliner(I just use the black shade with an angled brush). So if you're looking for a small yet perfect palette, this one's for you.

And my go to lip product will be this Burt's Bees Mango Lip Balm. Nothing too special, just tastes great along with great lip moisture. 

And Real Technique brushes. Hands down the best some what affordable brushes out there. Ive had mine for years, and the bristles are still in tack and are still as soft as ever. I have the expert face brush(which is an necessity), Powder brush, and the set of eye brushes. 


Okay, so now you know what I like to put on my face. 
Hope you enjoyed this post. Let me know what you think.
And have a wonderful week.
