MOTD | Post 3

I'm not going to lie I really didn't have a specific vision when I was doing this look but, after I was finished I couldn't help but think of flaming hot Cheetos or fire. I was mostly thinking about the Cheetos though, I'm always hungry. 

#MOTD | Post 2

I've never thought of red or a tint, shade, or tone of the color as being my favorite but, I would consider it my power color. Anyone who knows me though probably assumes it's the only color I care about because I incorporate it heavily into most of my makeup looks. I love the strength and emotion around deep shades of red. It's the color of love, war, and blood. 

A Few New Drugstore Buys

I feel like I haven't been picking up many makeup products from the drugstore recently. As soon as I came to this realization I got an itch to try out a few new drugstore products I had been hearing about. Armed with a mission and zero willpower to turn down an interesting beauty product I waltzed into Target leaving with a few more things than I had originally planned. I'm slightly ashamed of my weakness but also proud I didn't do more damage. When something looks new and interesting you can't just leave it behind, right?!

Pops of Color for Summer | Lips

I really love bright colorful lips, I really do but, I'm sure it would be hard to guess from my typical makeup selections. Typically my lip colors of choice is either some variation of nude or something dark and vampy but, during the summer I tend to step outside my typical safe zone once and awhile to experiment with a colorful pop on my lips. I think it's a fun and bold way to mix things up without having to pull out the whole nine yards and really switch up the makeup game. 

Rimmel Lasting Finish Colour Rush Balms | Review

Rimmel recently came out with these new Colour Rush Balms (new to the States anyway.) They came out with fourteen shades but, alas my lowly Target only had four so I picked up three. I'd say they seem to be a little late to the whole jumbo crayon balm game but, whatever, I can't complain because I'm still pretty excited. I love a good crayon shaped lippy. Lately I have been all about those light little washes of color on the lips for spring. Granted this isn't really enough color for me to wear to work, sheer little washes of color have been my favorite things for lazy no makeup days when I just want to look a little less dead to the world. 

Rimmel Show Off Lip Velvet | Review

I feel like I may or may not have said this before but, this is totally the year of the liquid lipsticks. Makeup companies from drugstore to high-end are jumping on board for this trend and it couldn't be any more exciting. A year or two ago Rimmel came out with their Show Off Lip Lacquers and now they have came out with their Rimmel Show Off Lip Velvets. The premise behind them is virtually the same; super creamy light-weight lip paints but, the only difference is that these ones are MATTE. 

Top 10 Drugstore Favorites

When it comes to makeup I don't think the brand always matters. Sure there are high-end products I prefer over drugstore ones but the same goes for the other way around. There are tons of drugstore products that I absolutely adore because not only are they reasonably priced but they also work just as well if not better than any luxury brand out there. It is always important to realize that it isn't about the name of the product its about the quality. Just because a foundation says its lux doesn't mean it looks very lux if its oxidizing on your face making you look like a confused orange. Finding drugstore products that you love is also a great way to save some money for the high-end products in your life that you can't live without. 

I've comprised a little list of a few of my favorite drugstore products that I can't get enough of and find myself coming back to time and time again. 

Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation

Hello, Loves! So I really can't pass up any product that promises a nice all day matte finish. Since I have oily skin matte is definitely a must when it comes to foundations. I have a serious fear of any foundation that might make me look like a shiny disco ball by the end of the day. So last week when I saw this Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation at the drugstore I knew I had to try it. I know it's been out for a little while now but, for whatever reason I never really got around to picking it up. The Rimmel Stay Matte Powder is one of my holy grail products. I usually carry the powder with me everywhere I go for throughout the day touch-ups. With that being said I had pretty high hopes for this product and it definitely lived up to every single one. 

Favorite Fall Lip Products

I am so obsessed with fall primarily because it means that I can start wearing my favorite lipstick shades...not to say that I don't always wear them because I do, but in the fall it just seems to be a little more acceptable. Here is a list of my favorites in no particular order of favorite, just down the list:
