My Current Favorite Foundation Routine


This foundation routine has been my favorite lately so I thought I would share it with you guys!

Step 1: I prime my face with face primer; my current favorite is L'oreal Studio Secrets Professional Magic Perfecting Base. I alternate between this and Maybelline's Angel Fit Pore Zero Base, but I like this one better. It really softens the lines and fills in the pores, giving my skin a smoother look and feel.


I usually just use my fingers to apply it, or a cosmetic sponge

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you all and have a great holiday! :)

My Go-To Products


You  know those certain products that you always return to, despite adventuring out into the wilderness with new products? They're the products that when all else fails, you'll still have them to fall back on? Well I thought it would be fun to share my favorite go-to products:

Pond's Classic Dry Skin Cream

I'm not really sure when or how I started using this, I know it's been years now, but I still love it. It seems kind of like an old lady moisturizer, but it's so rich and moisturizing and makes my skin so soft. Plus I like that it smells like lotion and nothing else; no fruity or flowery smells, just lotion. 

 

Rock & Republic Contrived Pressed Blushes-Seduce & X-Rated

I have officially joined the Rock & Republic blush family! I have been lusting after these bad boys ever since Jen from From Head To Toe posted hers on her blog. Then I kept seeing all these sales for them on Hautelook but was always too broke at the time to buy anything. Well, thanks to Kalmo's post I was able to score two of them for only $18! Waaay cheaper than the usual $40 price tag per blush.

The best part about ordering them? The suuuuper fast shipping! I ordered these on the 11th and the shipping estimate was set for the 18th...lo and behold, imagine my surprise when they showed up on my doorstep the morning of the 13th! You cannot believe how happy I was when I saw that package; it's a good thing the mailman hadn't been there or else I would have jumped on him...but not really because I have a boyfriend and I'm not like that :P


The blushes arrived in a neatly packed box with each blush nestled inside another round shaped sturdy plastic box, like a gift box.

What's My Name Again?

Well, now you'll never have to ask me that again, thanks to this custom made name necklace that was so graciously offered to me courtesy of MyNameNecklace.com
