Everyday Natural Glam

Today's look is one of my personal favorites to do for an everyday more natural glam that's really simple to achieve. 

 On the eyes all I used were MAC cosmetics 'cork' and 'ricepaper' eyeshadows. Cork is the light brown just blended in the crease, and rice paper is the shimmery white patted into the base of the eyelid as well as barely swiped under the bottom lash line. 

I used Tarte Cosmetics tarteist eyeliner which I am now obsessed with, and focused it more on the top and the wing. Lashes are Ardell Lashes; demi wispies. Used Anastasai Beverly Hills dipbrow in 'blonde' for the brows. And for the lips 👄 it's the sephora lip stain in '14'. I added the smallest amount of MAC cosmetics 'myth' to the center to brighten it a bit and voila! Easy natural glam. 💕 and don't mind my horrible fly aways-- I was being soooo lazy with my hair. 🙈

Sally Glitter Cut Crease

A little eye collage for your Saturday morning! ☀️ Used MAC cosmetics 'cork' and 'mulch' and Sally beauty glitter. I can't find a name on it. Sorry! Used Nyx Cosmetics jumbo eye pencil in 'milk' as base under glitter. || Anastasia Beverly Hills dipbrow in 'blonde' || House of Lashes in 'noir fairy'. || Tarte Cosmetics tarteist clay paint liner. BH Cosmetics  waterproof eye crayon in 'royalty' smudged on bottom lash line.

Too Faced Beauty Balm

I wanted to share my absolute favorite BB cream; the Too Faced Tinted Beauty Balm. I used to really love the Garnier BB cream but comparing the two this is the winner hands down. The bottle I have pictured is completely empty and I definitely will be repurchasing another one. This product is that its very versitle. You can use it alone or undermakeup as a moisutizer or primer. It gives a perfect sublte finish. It gives me just enough coverage to not feel like I'm exposing all of my imperfections but is natural enough that you will see my skin underneath. I normally wear this when I am just out and about with my two little men running errands or playing at the park. I have an oilly t-zone and what my FAVORITE thing about this is that it doesn't leave an oily residue whatsoever! That was my biggest issue in finding the perfect BB cream. 

 You can apply this all over your face, add a few swipes of mascara and some chapstick and you are ready to go! Depending on your skin type you may need to add a hint of powder. Sometimes I will add just a very light dusting on myself, but nothing heavy. This has great SPF coverage as well, (SPF 20) so you dont need to worry about the sun while you're out either! 

The color that I use is 'Linen Glow'. This BB cream is $34 for a 1.5 fl oz. If you are worried about the cost, let me just say that a little goes a VERY VERY long way! I had this bottle for at least a good year or so! 

Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil

This is one of my favorite things I use for my skin. I absolutely LOVE it.

I got this bottle the Christmas before last, and it's still not empty. A little goes a really long way, and it was so worth the money! I tend to have an oily t-zone, and for years I fought it trying to dry my face out as much as I could, but I now know that that only makes it worse! The best solution to cure an oily face is to fight oil WITH oil! Sounds crazy, right?  To be honest, when I first got this, I was so nervous to put it on my face. I was like AHH...OIL....ON. MY. FACE? WHY WOULD I?  Well I did and am SO glad I started using it. Let me tell you that it has nearly changed my skin. I still get oily at times, but nothing like I used to when I was constantly trying to dry it out. Everyone can use and benefit from it. You don't have to be oily, its just a wonderful moisturizer and 100% pure, which I LOVE! 

I use this only at night after I have cleansed my face; that way I can sleep with it on all night. Then I get to wake up and my face feels so completely baby soft! You also can use this on your lips, (which I do especially during these harsh winter months) cuticles, elbows, basically any dry area as well.

Pictured above is the "to go" sized bottle, which is a 0.5 oz / 5ml bottle that retails for $16.00. They have the regular sized bottle, which is 1.7 oz / 50 ml for $48.00. I normally like to get sample sizes or the travel/smaller sizes so that way if I don't love it, I don't feel guilty breaking the bank. There is also a "light" version of this oil, which I haven't tried, but have only heard just as many great things about it, since it's the same thing, just lighter! ;) I may end up giving it a try once this bottle is out, but seriously I love this oil!
