Drugstore Makeup Haul!


Physicians Formula BB Cream $13.23 (Wal-Mart)
I've finally found the perfect BB cream for me! Most BB creams leave my face feeling kind of sticky and oily, but this one is super perfect and gives me coverage like a regular liquid foundation would. The only down side is that they only offer two shades, light and medium. So if you have a darker skin tone you wont be able to find one for you unless maybe there's some online, but in the stores I haven't seen any. I also like that it comes in a pretty big tube which gives you your moneys worth. 


Flower Cream Shadow $6 (Wal-Mart)
I've always seen girls on YouTube videos using cream shadows that make their eyes look amazing! I found this brand at Wal-Mart which I had no idea is Drew Barrymore's own line of makeup! The texture of this shadow is perfect and it doesn't crease as bad as most shadows do. I also LOVE the packaging of their products, especially in this little jar theres a lot of product which will last quite a while. 


Flower Concealer Stick $7.98 (Wal-Mart)
Another product from Drew Barrymore's line. I love concealers with brush applicators. I feel like they apply a lot easier and don't waste the product like other applicators. I also really love that this concealer is super creamy and gives really great coverage. 


NYX Eyeshadow Primer $6.99 (Beauty Supply Store)
I usually use the Palladio Eye primer which has been featured in a couple of the previous posts, but I decided to switch it up a little bit and use something else. I really like that this product is white, so when you put it on the color comes out a lot more vivid and bright because of the white bade. It's also super easy to apply since you just use your finger. I know this product comes in two other colors, there's a pearl and also a skin tone one to get different effects on your shadow.


NYX Natural Palette  $7.49 (Target)
I haven't used this palette yet, but I'm so excited that Target has started carrying NYX products. My store carries some of the line but we don't have any palettes only the single shadows. I'm really looking forward to creating some awesome looks with these shadows! I know NYX shadows are pretty good based on others I've used in the past. Of course I stuck to natural colors haha. 


NYX Golden Horizons Palette $12 (Target)
This palette I have used and I absolutely LOVE it! The colors are so perfect for a natural eye. The best part of the palette is that there are matte natural shadows and then shimmery natural shadows so you can go with whatever look you want! There are a couple of other palettes there with different colors. I had my eye on the Sexy Palette which had like deep reds and purples, but I'd probably never use them. I'm not that bold ha!

What's In My Travel Makeup Bag?!

Every girl has the makeup bag they leave at home and the makeup bag they carry on a daily basis. I thought I'd share with you what I keep in my travel bag! Might be a good idea for you to pick up some of these products to keep in yours too (:

I always buy two of everything when it comes to makeup brushes, eyeliner, and mascara. I put one in my keep at home bag and one in my travel bag for touch ups or if I'm running late I'll just apply at school or work.
I keep these samples of perfume in there just in case I feel like I smell just a tad or if I'm in the mood for a little extra something while I'm out!
I keep drugstore makeup in my travel bag because I don't use it as often and what I keep at home. This is just in case I was running late and need to put it on while I'm out or in the car.
Lets keep it real ladies. We all need our feminine product and our birth control. I keep a whole load of these things just in case I'm out with a friend and she needs one!
I keep make up remover towelettes in case I have a bad day and cry off all my makeup or even if I just feel irritated with it on. I also keep oil absorbing wipes because I tend to have really oily skin midday. The tide to go is self explanatory haha. I'm a messy girl

What's In My Makeup Bag?!

My makeup collection has been growing every day and I probably should slow down soon because its going to make me completely broke! Anyway, just thought I'd give you a sneak peek into my makeup bag to see what kinds of brands I use on a daily basis. Eventually I hope to do a quick tutorial on how I actually do my full face makeup routine, I'm just waiting for a better camera to film on rather than my webcam or HTC. So make sure you stay tuned for the upcoming video!

This is where I store all of my makeup. It's pretty messy and completely unorganized, but theres a method to my madness and it's okay! Mojo wanted in on the post too! (He actually broke the zipper on the bag while I was taking the photo -_-)
When it comes to primers I desperately need them! My skin is so dry if I just apply my foundations on my skin directly it looks cracked and totally disgusting. Pallado is definitely my favorite brand. I use the eyeshadow and foundation primer from this brand and they're really great! The price isn't all the bad either so it makes me twice as happy (:
Clinique liquid foundations are probably the ONLY foundations that don't make me break out. Especially the anti blemish liquid foundations. I've used other brands that say they have acne medication in them and they just suck and make me break out way more than I usually would. The WetnWild liquid foundation I have was just a cheap one I bought when I ran out of the Clinique stuff. It's so expensive and I don't always have time to run to Macys to pick up a new bottle when I run out so I keep this cheap version for those days. As for loose powder to set my liquid makeup I use Physicians Formula loose powder in Translucent. Definitely one of the best powders I've used. 
All of my eyeshadow! My favorite part of makeup (: Most of my eyeshadow comes from NYX which is my favorite brand for eyeshadow. They go on really soft and creamy compared to other shadows I've used. The containers that say "tester" came from work. We were getting rid of a brand we carried, so I cleaned off the testers and took the ones I liked home haha. The pencils are from LA Colors. I don't use them often, but I like how long the color lasts when I do decide to wear them. 
Lastly all of my eyeliners! I'm more into liquid liners than pencils, but every once in a while I like to pull out the pencil and just keep it simple when I'm feeling a bit lazy. Liquid liner in my opinion just pulls a look together completely and makes it look a lot more classy.
