Drug store Foundation Routine!



Hey everyone! Today I'm going to talk you through my foundation routine, for days when I do my makeup. I don't always have time to do my makeup on a daily basis, but this is a go to list of products! If you have any feedback or recommendations, hit up the comments! Xoxo Linda.



Elf Mineral Primer

First I start with the Elf Mineral Primer. I use the green one for redness that I have around my nose and on my jaw line / cheek area. I'm not sure what it is, but I do know a lot of women seem to have it. There is a lot of bumpy texture to it as well. I'd say over all this primer does work pretty well for it being from the drug store.











Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous foundation, Real Techniques Perfection Complexion spongeSecond, I use Covergirl's Outlast Stay Fabulous foundation in the shade 810, Classic Ivory. It's the second lightest shade with a slight yellow undertone. To apply this I use my damp Real Techniques Perfection Complexion sponge. This is a medium coverage foundation and covers my spots and scars pretty well. I always end up going back to this one. I like to try out other drug store brands that get a lot of hype, but they're never as good as this one. Not to mention I'll use the sponge and dab on extra to cover my dark circles and it works wonderfully! These two are a must have in my collection! But remember, blend down your neck!



Coty Airspun loose face powder, Natural, Pueen 12 piece Brush set, Third! Setting powder! Coty Airspun loose face powder, in Natural. What else can I say? Holy Grail setting powder for sure. I have had the same container of it for almost 2 years and it's still three quarters full, and that's with me using it on my eldest step daughter too! It has a granny smell to it and I happen to love that. It reminds me of my grandma! I use this to set and bake my under eye area. After a few minutes I'll use my fluffy brush and dust off and swirl in any extra. I bought myself a set of Pueen makeup brushes for my birthday almost three years ago, I think it's a set of 12 with a case for travel. It was only twenty buck on Amazon! Heck of a deal. They are so soft and help my powders blend flawlessly!

Wet N Wild Coloricon Contouring Pallet, Dulce De Leche, Wet N Wild Coloricon, Reserve Your CabanaFourth, Bronzing and Highlighting. To warm up my skin and make me look more alive I use the Wet N Wild Coloricon Contouring Pallet in Dulce De Leche. It's a two in one matte Bronzer and Highlighting powder. It's a super soft formula and blends like a dream. I like to use the contour color in the usual 3 shape on the face and the highlight powder under my eyes. It is completely matte! For the shimmery highlight I use again the Wet N Wild Coloricon line, in Reserve Your Cabana. This is a silky soft highlight, it doesn't have a lot of sheen to it. So I actually broke it up and added some frosty eye shadows to it and re-pressed it. Now it works like an actual highlighter should, lol.



Avon Ideal Luminous Blush, Classic Aura,
Fifth and last, Blush! Avon Ideal Luminous Blush in Classic Aura. This is a discontinued color, which is so sad. It's a muted pink color that looks good on so many skin colors! I love this color it's so soft and subtle yet it has awesome pigmentation! I don't know why they don't sell it anymore. I know a family member had given it to my daughter because they didn't use it. Well, she put it all over her face and her face turned beat red and broke out. She was like 7 at the time. I use it every time I do my makeup and I have never had a reaction from it.


Thank you all for taking the time out of your day to ready this. I hope you found it interesting or helpful in some way! Let me know what I should post next!

Maybelline Volum Express; The Rocket Mascara!



Hi guys. Today I want to talk to you about my holy grail mascara! As far as eye lashes go in length, I guess I could say I'm pretty lucky. Thanks you my Italian dad, of course! In my many years of this addiction all things cosmetics, I've used my fair share of different mascaras. I have only ever repurchased one of those. That's the Rocket Mascara by Maybelline in waterproof!

This mascara is the only one I've found that goes on smooth, super black and doesn't clump my lashes! I buy it in the blackest black shade and It's not grey like a lot of other "black" mascaras are. Like I've said, this is my holy grail. It doesn't flake off, which is a miracle to me to be honest. I have always had issues with every other mascara I've used with clumping, flaking and smearing. I do have more oily eyelids, incase that helps you when deciding to purchase it. This mascara separates, lengthens and give my lashes a voluminous lift. I don't even have to curl them first! I personally don’t like curling my lashes, it’s a pain in the butt. I’m honestly scared i’ll end up chopping my lashes off. I'm pretty sure I have three tubes of this in my desk right now. The great thing is, as it dries it gets better!



I can honestly say, the only problem I have ever had with it, is it’s very hard to take off! They honestly mean waterproof when they put it on the packaging. You don't want to rub and rub to get this stuff off. The skin under your eyes is so delicate, you could cause premature wrinkles and even break capillaries causing bruising. I like to use virgin organic coconut oil on a cotton round. I told it over my eye for a few minutes to soften it up and then gently rub in circles with my finger tips. Then I just wash it away with warm soapy water and a wash cloth.
That is all I have for today, Please let me know if you have any questions!
Linda.
