Beauty Post 1

I've never done a beauty post before because frankly I've never cared too much about makeup or skin care products. I tend to use the same eyeshadow purchased from Walgreens and finish off with the classic pink and green Great Lash mascara. I don't like wearing much face makeup and cringe at the thought of a liquid makeup on my face. So I've narrowed down my favorite beauty products without much difficulty because these are all I really like, or use. 

For being around $6 you can't go wrong with Great Lash Mascara really. I have pretty long eyelashes as is and with a couple coats of this they look super full and don't chunk lashes together. I dig the blue color when I'm feeling a little wild. 

I really like to go without eye makeup and then apply a really bold-colored lipstick. Most the time I'm lazy and don't feel like doing makeup at all so a little bright lipstick instantly preps you for a night out, or a day at the grocery store. Gwen isn't the only one you can pull off red lips 24/7. Above is the limited-edition Dame Edna lipstick from Mac. It has a hint of sparkle to it, which I don't normally prefer but the bottle is pretty. 

I love love love the idea of bright yellow nails for summer! It's refreshing and eye-catching and still totally chic. Rihanna rocks the color, but I have to say, the smiley faces were a bit much. 

Even though I use bare Minerals as my face makeup, I don't use the three steps like you're supposed to. I love the above Stila Sun bronzer. It's subtle and doesn't make you look like you've gone on tanning overload. I like to put a tiny bit on the top of my cheek bones for a hint of color. It's a good replacement for having to use blush. 

Last but not least, bare Minerals. I love this makeup so much. It took me a long time to find a makeup that doesn't gross me out putting all over my face because like I said before, it just makes my face feel dirty. Bare Minerals is light but supplies ultimate coverage at the same time. I'm sure if I used it correctly I would even have better things to say about it. It gets hot in Phoenix and I can't stand for my makeup to run off and this definitely doesn't.
