Hi Everyone!

Today I'm going to be sharing with you all of the 
products I use in my skin care routine. I use quite a few
products but not as much as some. This combination 
has worked great for me but I can't guarantee 
that it will work for you too.

PRODUCTS I USE:

Makeup Remover(face): 
Equate Beauty - Original Clean
Wet Cleansing Towelettes

Makeup Remover(eyes):
Rimmel London - Just Let It Go
Gentle Eye Make Up Remover
(on a cotton round)

Face Mask:
Freeman - Facial Clay Mask
Avocado & Oatmeal

Cleanser:
Clean & Clean - Deep Action
Cream Cleanser
(with a spin brush)

Eye Cream:
Garnier - Ultra-Lift
Anti-Wrinkle Firming Eye Cream

Astringent:
Clean & Clear - Essentials
Deep Cleaning Astringent
(on a cotton round)



Step One:
Remove any makeup you have on. This seems
pretty obvious but often gets overlooked by many.
Sleeping in your makeup is one of the worst things
you can ever do to your skin. At night while you sleep,
your skin is repairing it. You don't want a film of makeup
on you skin when going through this process.




Step Two:
Face Mask. I like to use a face mask at LEAST once a
 week. It helps clean deep down to your pores, leaving
 your skin feeling clean and refreshed. I use it about every 
other day but wouldn't suggest using it more than that. 
Face mask come in a variety. Some are clay based,
 others you just peel off. Depending your skin type
some will work better than others so I suggest reading
up on what will be the best for you and trying a few out.







Step Three:
This is honestly one of the most important steps.
Along with the cleanser I use a spin brush. This cleanser
works great for me, but I have to give a LOT of credit to
the spin brush. The bristles reach down into your pores 
a million times better than what you do with just your
finger tips. If you have very acne-prone skin I think
that this might help. I have a friend who's very acne-prone
 and has helped clear her skin up quite a bit. Plus, it's a lot 
cheaper than a Clarisonic and if it doesn't work for you
or you just don't like it you didn't spend as much money 
on it as you would have with the Clarisonic.



Step Four:
Eye cream. You don't need it but if you're around
the age of 23 I suggest starting to use one to help 
prevent premature wrinkles. I'm only 17 but since I
wear makeup all over my eye area my under eyes have
been noticing a few fine lines so i decided to start using
one. I haven't been using it for very long, about 2 weeks,
so I'm not sure how well this particular one works. Plus,
I only use it at night before I go to bed. One thing I have
noticed is my eyelashes. Ever since I first started using this
they have been a lot longer, thicker, stronger, and overall 
just a lot healthier. I had been wearing a lot of mascara on 
a daily basis and noticed that after about a week or two
my lashes were shorter and more brittle. But then when I
started to use an eye cream they got nice and strong again.
So if you're a daily mascara wearer and have noticed that 
your lashes seem a lot shorter and more brittle than the have 
been in the past maybe using an eye cream will help bring back
some moisture to your lashes while helping with wrinkles.



Step Five:
To finish off I use an astringent. I'm still not 100%
sure what it is meant to do but I have seen a difference.
I don't get a lot of pimples but this is amazing for them.
The day I got this I felt a pimple coming on, the are was sore
 and felt hard,  I put some of this on it. When I woke up the
next morning it was gone. No joke. It was completely gone!
That is amazing. I also had a pimple that had already surfaced
so I put some of this on there too and two days later it was 
gone too. The only down side of this product is that it
has an intense chemical scent. It has salicylic acid in it
along with "acne medication" so I assume that's the 
cause of the strong scent.



And that's it! That is everything that I use on my skin on a daily
basis. It works wonders on my skin and I hope that this was helpful.
I have oily skin and it isn't sensitive so I can be kind of rough with it.
If you have more sensitive skin the only product that is harsh on the skin
would be the astringent so you can skip that step. Plus they're all drugstore 
products so their easy to find no matter where you are. But overall I really like 
all of these products and would suggest them to everyone. If you have any 
questions please feel free to ask me in the comments down bellow! :)

Okay, so I haven't had the best experience with NYX's lipsticks

but I do really like their butter glosses. The Butter Glosses are so

rich, smooth, and creamy. They glide on easily and are highly

pigmented. As for the lipsticks, what can I say? I just haven't

had the best luck. I bought one forever ago from the "Black

Label Lipstick" line and I truly hated it. It just didn't look good

on me. Plus I had my sister try it on and it didn't look good on

her and she has an olive skin tone. It settled into even the

smallest lines of my lips and just looked horrible so I threw

it away long before I planned to do this. But as for the one

shown, I really like it. I wish it came out how it looks like in

the tube but it's still beautiful. I did buy both of them online,

along with everything else, and just suggest looking up

reviews of it or see if someone used it in a makeup tutorial

on YouTube or in a blog post so you can see it swatched

and what it looks like on the lips. I wish I would have been 

able to do that, or would have thought of it, when buying

these. But overall I really like both the lipstick and 

the butter glosses.

Splurge or Save?

Butter Glosses: Go for it

Lipsticks: Try to get one that

you've seen used or were able to swatch

Where to Buy: http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/

I hope that this was helpful if you were curious about the makeup brand

 NYX. Overall I really like this brand and their prices are great. I would definitely

 suggest the trio in En Fuego, the butter glosses in Vanilla Cream Pie, and 

Eclair, the blush in Desert Rose and the Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk. They're 

probably my favorite out of all of the products I have and know that 

a lot of others love them as well.

Hi Everyone!

Today's review is going to be on my makeup brush set

I absolutely love these brushes. I have some other brushes from

random companies, mainly e.l.f. but these are so much better. They 

are a mixture of goat hair and synthetic fibers. 

                                           Pros:                                                        Cons:

                                     High quality                                                Not vegan friendly

                               Not very expensive                                          Can only get online

                                      Very soft

Here's a picture of the case the brushes come in

It unrolls and has a flap that helps protect them

This is all of the brushes it comes with

Okay, so this brush set comes with 22 brushes. The price for 

this is $34. When compared to brush sets from companies like

MAC or Sigma which are $100+ this is an absolute steal. They are

super soft and extremely high quality. There is an assortment of different

kinds of brushes. There's one for powder, blush, bronzer, foundation, 

multiple concealer brushes, and  quite a few for eye shadow. These are the

only brushes I use and I absolutely love them. They're the main reason I 

can do makeup well and love it so much. The case is perfect for travel and 

even has a zipper compartment to store makeup so you don't have to bring

a bunch of extra makeup bags to keep your makeup in while traveling.

The crocodile case is a beautiful purple/maroon and looks very 

classy and is nice and sleek.

So overall I think this is brush set is perfect for beginners and even 

more advanced makeup artists. The price for these is superb and
 there aren't a lot of makeup brush sets at this price that is such
 amazing quality. I hope this was helpful if you're newer to
makeup and want a nice set of brushes to improve your
makeup skills and the appearance of your makeup.

my lower lash line for a pop of sparkle.

Here I did the opposite and put the shimmer on the

inner corner and the sparkle on the ball of my lids

I have always loved the look of the "sock bun" but I hated trying to do it since
 I have dark hair and I only have white socks. I knew there were probably
 other ways to do it that didn't require the destruction of a perfectly innocent
 little sock. And then I found it. One of the best hair inventions in
quite some time. I call it, the hair "donut"

Supplies You Will Need:

Bun Maker

2 Hair Ties

Several Bobby Pins

Optional Hair Accessories

Step One:
Take the first hair tie and put your hair up into a ponytail

wherever you want your bun to be
