MOST USED DAILY

Get to know my most used daily products of the moment!

PREP & PRIME
EOS balm: Preps lips before applying lipstick or gloss. Hydrates lips tremendously! Tons of different scents! My go to.
Lush Sweet Lips lip scrub: Scrubs off dead skin from lips without having to even use water. Fast & easy. Tastes sweet too, sales woman told me you can lick the excess off! (All natural)
MAC Oil Control Lotion: Amazing oil absorbing lotion. Keeps face matte all day.
Too Faced Primed and Poreless Pure Primer: Silicon based oil free primer. Keeps face smooth and poreless all day. Face only needs a small size of product, don't over do it.
Tarte Clean Slate Poreless 12 hr Perfecting Primer: Newer to my routine. I like how it makes your face almost look porcelain! Fills in lines, and minimizes pores for 12hrs! Legit. Get so many compliments when I use this!
FOUNDATION
Revlon Colorstay Whipped in Warm Golden 320: My go to foundation. Feels like nothing on your skin. Product lasts forever because you only need a few dots on your face, blends thoroughly throughout face. I apply with fingers, I find it fast and easy. Full coverage, lasts ALL day, keeps skin looking fresh ALL day!
CONCEALER
Hard Candy Glamoflauge in Light: Covers any imperfection on your face. Very thick consistency, only a smalllllll amount needed. Very creamy & bendable.
L'Oreal True Match in Light: Fantastic, gives pretty light undereye and covers any blemishes very well! Very smooth & liquidish-cream consistency. Applicator is like a little brush.
NYX HD Photogenic in Light: Just that, HD! Smiliar to L'Oreal True Match. This wand (applicator) is similar to a lip gloss wand gives more control on how much you use.
BRONZER
NYX Matte in Medium: My favorite. Smooth application, never too heavy, orange or streaky. I can pack it on a brush and it blends to beautifully on my skin.
Too Faced Chocolate: Smells amazing. Little darker than NYX Matte Medium, I alternate, they are very similar to each other!
NYX When Leopard Gets Tan: Little bit shimmery, gives skin a glow without looking unnatural or too brown (like dirt) I use it to contour to accent my cheeks and jaw line.
EYESHADOWS
Hard Candy Shadow Sets: Pinking Of You, Green With Envy, & Naturally Gorgeous

BLUSH
Hard Candy: Living Doll
E.L.F: Fushia Fusion
Milani: BerryAmore

Maybelline One by One in Blackest Black: Separates

HARD CANDY

Picked up a few HARD CANDY products :)
A collection of iridescent soft pinks! Perfect for a soft day look to go with a BOLD lip or even a nude/pink lip to keep your look soft and natural. Some colors are shimmery but not chalky looking on the lid. They pair well together to use a few colors together :) & how cute is the lace packing? ah!

Hello sparkle! Love it! Perfect amount of shimmer on your cheeks. Not too much to look kid-ish. Looks like a nice soft pink glow! (swiped alot on my hand to show color on my hand) Wearing blush in my photo.
This camouflage is AMAZING. You only need the smallest dot of product to get FULL coverage! It took me a few times to get the right amount. Don't do more than a drop. Squeeze lightly. This tube will last you forever! Covers under eye circles like a charm, imperfections, and even tattoos!
Camo comes with a little pencil you can dab onto little blemishes to cover those up too! I use it after I'm done my routine to go over anything that might need attention.

I would recommend these products highly. For the price they are a STEAL. The blush and shadow were no more that $6 a piece and the camo was about $5.
