My Everyday Makeup ~ May 2019

Although I am very into makeup, I don’t keep tons of it laying around. Instead I keep a cosmetic case with my everyday look and I don’t purchase more until I run out. I feel like once you open and start using makeup on your face bacteria can grow. That’s why I also stay away from makeup blenders and brushes. 

Here’s what’s currently in my cosmetic case:

Face-
Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in shade C2-
Ever since I learned about his product in flight attendant training it has been the only thing I use on my face. It easily lasts 12 hours and isn’t heavy in the slightest. It creates a smooth, matte finish and I love that you can buy refills for the sponge that comes with it, it’s actually very good quality. I also use MAC Studio Finish, a creamy concealer, in shade NC15 when I need to cover a blemish.

Makeup Revolution Jelly Highlighter in shade Prestigious-
I purchased this from Ulta back in January and I have been using it ever since. The texture of jelly glides on so smooth and stays put all day. It is the prettiest rose gold shimmer and isnt full of glitter so it’s perfect for daytime. 

Eyes-
Too Faced Pretty Puppy Eyeshadow Palette-
I’ve done a review of this palette in a previous post and I absolutely love it! Aside from being cute as a button it’s full of 6 super versatile shades that apply beautifully and last all day without creasing. 

Jordana Retractable Eyeliner in shade Eggplant-
These are super inexpensive and work great! No sharpening needed and I find them at my local Walgreens for only a few dollars. I love this deep purple shade to bring out the green in my eyes. They also sell a great range of other colors. 

Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Mascara in shade Excessive Black-
I am currently using a sample of this mascara and I love it. (I love getting 3 free samples with cosmetic purchases at Nordstrom). I love the curved shape of the wand to get all the little lashes in the corners of my eyes and I love how dark the shade is. It never clumps and it agrees with my contact lenses. 

Lips-
Too Faced Rich & Dazzling Sparkling Lip Gloss in shade All the Stars-
While I love playing up my eyes, I tend to only use a sparkly nude gloss on my lips. This one is so sparkly with a faint pale pink shimmer and smells like vanilla. It isn’t sticky and the packaging is so cute. 

Honorable Mentions-
I keep a few extra things in my cosmetic case (I've used this Cuyana one that I had monogrammed for a few years now and it still looks brand new. I am so pleased with the quality) such as tweezers for my brows, a Burberry gold shimmer lipstick for nighttime (I purchased it at Sephora in Poland-I can’t find a link for it), and a sample of Dior lash primer that I have been loving when I want to condition my lashes or give them some extra oomph.  

Voilà! Here's the finished product, my daily, everyday look. 

Do you have any favorite cosmetics you use daily? Let me know down below, I love trying new things!

Taking some time this long Memorial Day weekend to remember in my thoughts and prayers those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country and their families. Thank you. 

Thanks for reading, have a fabulous day. :)
