Friday Favorites | January 2016 Favorites

The first month of the year is already coming to a close and I'd have to say it's been a lot more busy than I thought it would be. My productivity has been exceptionally high for the most part which is pretty shocking to me since typically the winter months turn me into a slug. Seriously the winter makes me so lazy but lately it's more like I have so much going on there just aren't enough hours in the day. 

Tarte Tartelette In Bloom Clay Eyeshadow Palette | Review

When Tarte launched the first Tartelette palette last year I coveted so much but, I never ended up buying it because realistically I wouldn't have gotten much use out of it. Sure it's gorgeous but, it's a pretty cool toned palette and as we all know I'm a warm toned kind of girl. I know, I know, I'm so predictable but, what can I say, I know what I like. 

Tarte Tarteist Lip Paint (TBT & Fomo) | Review

Do you know what I don't need in my life? More nude matte lipsticks. Do you know what I bought anyway? More nude matte lipsticks. I think that I own over 100+ lip products, they are definitely the one makeup product I own the most of because they are my favorite. Of course any lip product I've purchased for at least the past year has been more of a want than a need I still do it for the sake of makeup science or that's how I'm going to justify it anyway. 

Minimal Makeup

I wear a full face of makeup on a regular basis so most of the time when I'm off I will usually wear little to no makeup depending on whether I feel like looking half human or not. I'm not going to lie most of the time I don't care and will leave the house bare faced and free but, for when I feel like looking presentable I'll do a little natural makeup magic. 

Top 5 Ways to Go Nude | Lipsticks

Some of my favorite lipstick shades are nudes because they are so versatile. They can pull together a smokey eye or dress up a simple neutral look. It also doesn't hurt that they are easy to wear and you rarely have to worry about awkward bold color splotches or strange diseased looking fading. A little bit of color goes a long way, nudes show that its not only bolds that can be beautiful and eye catching. There are tons of shades and textures out there and everyone has a few that they are drawn to but, here are a few of my favorites in no seriously particular order that I would rock and repurchase again and again and again. 

The School Day Face

Hello, Loves! During the week when I have class I never have a lot of time to get ready. This is mostly because I use half of my time to check all my social medias and to give myself a pep talk out of bed. I see no point in doing my makeup to the hilt for class because by the end of the day I'm a greasy mess anyway. I'm not sure why considering the fact that I can work a whole shift and come out just as crisp as when I went in... life is strange. Either way I try to get ready in about 15-ish minutes on the days when I have class. I pop just enough makeup on to look decent and functioning.
