DRUGSTORE 2016 BACK TO SCHOOL MAKEUP PICKS

Hiya Everyone! I am here today to bring you my 2016 Back To School Makeup Picks and the twist here is they are all amazing DRUGSTORE products! These products are my personal favorites and top picks for this upcoming school year. I picked all drugstore items because they are more readily available and more affordable than some of the higher end items. If your interested in seeing my picks check out the video below!

NYX Transylvania Soft Matte Lip Cream

Hiya Everyone! I am here today to talk about the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in The shade Transylvania. I searched for AGES for this color and one day when I wasn't even looking for it, I came across a FULL display at my local Ulta which is unheard of! 

Needless to say I bought many things, one of which was this lip creme.

Upon seeing the color online I was expecting it to be blacker than it is. This shade is not black but a deep dark plum purple color. It's gorgeous! I love this color! 

Yes it is summer but I can assure you I will find a way to rock this color! It dries matte on the lips, it's gorgeous. These are 5.99 at Ulta so affordable and amazing! 

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed! If you have any questions, comments, or requests please leave them in the comments below. Check out my social media!

Eyeshadow Swatches and NYX Dupe

Hiya Everyone! I haven't been blogging lately I have been sick the past few days but I am back now and I have a bit of catching up to do. I love my NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk but I do not like the 4.99 price tag. So I went in search of a dupe for it and I have found one and also discovered an amazing color. In the swatches below the first swatch is the NYX pencil in milk and the second swatch is the dupe for it by LA Colors in the shade Sea Shells. These are the exact same color and I think the LA Colors one may be a bit creamier! The last swatch is the LA Colors Pencil in Saltwater, it's a grayish silver color with chunky silver glitter in it! I love love love it! The LA Colors pencils are available at family Dollar( this is the only place I have found them) and are 1.50 each! Thanks for reading!

NYX Lipstick

Hiya Everyone! I recieved a NYX lipstick in the mail the other day, I ordered it off of Amazon using a giftcard I got for free from Swagbucks, so this lipstick was 100% free to me. Who doesn't like free stuff? Well I chose the lipstick in the shade 501 Iris. I have been looking for a good nude lipstick for my skin tone and this one is great, its a nude creamsicle color. I have swatched it below so you can see the amazing color. This lipstick is very creamy and has a subtle shimmer to it. I love it so far, I have worn it once and got alot of complients on it, I believe I have found the perfect nude lipstick, Thanks for reading!

April Favorites

Hiya Everybody! I am here to tell you about my favorite products that I have been using in the month of April. There aren't many so this should be quick. I hope you enjoy!

My first favorite for the month of April is my E.L.F. Makeup Mist and Set! I love this stuff, I have reviewed it before and mentioned it in a few other blogs but its just great. This is available online, at Walmart, and at Target. For just 3.00 this does an amazing job at making my makeup stay on and last all day. Next is my NYM or Not Your Mothers Shes a Tease Volumizing Hairspray. This is infused with apple blossom and bamboo and the smell is to die for. This holds my hair in place all day without making it crunchy or heavy. This is 5.00 at Walmart. I am not sure what other places it is sold because I have only seen it at Walmart. I love the entire NYM line that Walmart carries, everything in the line is 5.00 so its super affordable and you get some amazing products. Next is my NYX 5 Color Eyeshadow Palette from the Caribbean Collection in I Dream of Nevis. These are all neutral eyeshadows and a great white color I like to use as a base. Look out for my everyday neutral eyeshadow routine later on in the week using this palette. I think I paid 8.00 for this at Ulta last summer but I am sure this is still available. When I bought it I never used it but lately I have been in love with it. Next is my Wet and Wild juicy lip balm with SPF 15 in the shade Raspberry. This smells like Raspberries as well and moisturizes my lips so well, I love it. I purchased this at Walgreens for 1.99 about a month and a half ago so I am sure they still have them. Last but not least has to be my favorite out of my monthly favorites, its my GrandeLASH MD Eyelash and Eyebrow Formula. This is supposed to help make your lashes or eyebrows grow. I use this on my upper lashes only and I use it before I go to bed at night. It has a small brush to apply it to the upper lash line. I recieved this as a gift from one of my friends who swears by it and I have always had short lashes and very few lashes but after using this for about 2 months now, I have so many lashes and they're so long. I have gotten compliments on my lashes and some people even thought I was wearing false lashes, this stuff works amazing! You can order this online and it is a bit pricey at 44.00 but it is extremely worth it. I hope you enjoyed my April Favorites, Thanks for reading!

NYX Collection Nior Liquid Black Liner

Hiya Everybody! I picked up the NYX Collection Nior Liquid Black Liner the other day at Ulta for $5.99. This liner is so black and goes on so smoothly, the consistency is perfect not too think but not watery like some liquid liners that I have tried. The shade of the liner I purchased is bel06. This little brush makes the absolute perfect line and the brush is super thin and not bulky, it makes it so much easier to do your makeup. This stays on my eyes so long, I love it! Thanks for reading!
