MOTD: Full Face Daytime Glam Look Using Milani Cosmetics!

Drugstore Daytime Glam Look!

If you're looking for a daytime glam look using drugstore makeup you're on the right blog post! ;-) Milani is one of my favorite drugstore brands so I decided to do a full face using only Milani products. 

I wanted to create a simple look that can be transitioned into the night with a few extra steps. Let's get into the specifics! 

Face:

*Milani Conceal + Perfect 2-in-1 Foundation + Concealer in Light Beige

This foundation is amazing! It provides medium to full coverage depending on what you need and it also lasts so well! I don't use it to conceal because I prefer a concealer that's lighter than my foundation. 

*Milani Make it Last Setting Spray Prime + Correct + Set

I love this setting spray! It smells delightful (bonus, yay!) and it does a great job at prolonging my makeup. If you're makeup is leaning towards the powdery side definetely use this product and you will look flawless!

*Milani Strobelight Instant Glow Powder in Dayglow

This color is stunning! It's a beautiful golden champagne color that I can see looking amazing on many skintones. It's a great formula with no glitter or shimmer. I love the sheen/glow it adds to your skin without emphasizing texture. Annnnnnnd... they seem to have new colors on their website! I'll be adding a few more to my collection very soon! ;-)

Eyes:

*Milani Everyday Eyes Eyeshadow Palette in Must Have Metallics

The Everyday Eyes collection is one of my favorites when it comes to drugstore eyeshadow palettes. The color selection is great and they are only $11! I used the copper shade all over the lid along with a bit of the matte black and my bronzer in the crease for a simple glam look. I used the highlighter in the inner corner too for some brightness. You can easily smoke out this look, wing out the liner and you're ready for a night out! Versatility & affordable? Yes please! :-)

I hope this post was helpful and serves as inspiration to create your next look using drugstore makeup. Definetely checkout Milani products because they are some of the best at the drugstore!

Review: NEW Covergirl Peacock Flare Mascara!

NEW From Covergirl!

Hey everyone! Today I'm reviewing the NEW Covergirl Peacock Flare Mascara. I received this mascara complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. It retails for about $8 at the drugstore and it should be available now.
I instantly loved the packaging! It's so cute and I love the soft matte cap. Covergirl claims that this mascara will give you length and separation which is exactly the result I got when I tested it out. It coats my lashes super well making them look really dark. I quickly noticed how long this formula made my lashes look and how the wand was great at separation. Now... the separation I get is not a fanned out look that I normally prefer. The wand and formula doesn't add tons of volume so when it separates it actually separates (or clumps) 2 or 3 lashes together.

Here's a closeup of the wand. I felt like it was a little difficult to coat my lashes at first because of how the bristles are lined up. I just wiggled left and right to make sure all my lashes were coated and that trick worked really well. I love the outcome but it did take a little more work than my L'oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise which is my favorite mascara at the moment.

Bottom line: If you're looking for length and separation (borderline clumpy) this is a great option! I prefer a more voluminous mascara so it won't take the place of my current favorite. Let me know your thoughts below! :-)

MOTD: Holiday Look Using Drugstore Makeup! (Milani, Flower Beauty, ColourPop & L'Oreal)

Burgundy and Gold Holiday Look!

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share a look I created only using drugstore makeup that would be perfect for the holidays! I'm a firm believer that you don't need to spend all your hard earned money on expensive makeup to look great. Drugstore makeup is just as amazing (sometimes even better) than the higher end selection. Hopefully this post can inspire you to create a budget friendly holiday look! :-)

Items used:

Eyeshadow Palette- ColourPop Double Entendre Shadow Palette - $16.00

This is my first experience using a ColourPop Palette... and I'm obsessed! Seriously, I'm planning on collecting all the other ones because they are so affordable and the formulation is so so so good! Some ColourPop items are being sold at Sephora, while still being budget friendly, which is awesome! I would suggest to shop on their site for the best selection and prices because they offer sales from time to time. Even though you *technically* can't go to the drugstore and pick it up, the price is unbeatable!

Mascara- L'Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise in Blackest Black- $10

This is my new favorite mascara! It makes my lashes look longer, fuller and darker, all day long. It's said to be a dupe for the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara which I tried before and liked but to be honest; I like this one more! ;-)

Blush-  Flower Beauty Flower Pots Powder Blush in Peach Primrose- $10

This color is beautiful! It's the perfect peachy shade and I love how easy it blends onto the cheeks.

Lips- Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme in Emotion- $9

I didn't want to wear your typical ruby red on the lips this season so opted for a deep burgundy with a hint of brown. I love how this color paired with the eye look! Milani liquid lipsticks are pretty good and you can find them at your local Walmart or Target. I did notice some flaking at the end of the day around the inner area of my lips. But, that happens with most liquid lipsticks after eating and drinking. I really like this line and the color selection is awesome too!

Let me know your thoughts below: Do you like this look? Have you tried any of these products? Can't wait to see your comments! :-)

EOTD: Pop of Green- Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Eyeshadow Palette!

Pop of Green!

Today I wanted to quickly share a look that I came up with recently using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette! I almost missed out on this palette because all I would see were negative reviews everywhere. The colors spoke to me because they were so different so I went for it anyway and I'm so happy I did! :-)

It pushed me out of my comfort zone... I mean I still threw a warm shade in my look haha but I tried to stick to using the beautiful greens in the palette too.

I used Roxy (warmer shade) in my crease, Electric ( gorgeous duo-chrome) on my lid and Axis ( deeper teal green) in the outer corner.

If you're wondering what's on my lips I wore Raging Raisin from the Maybelline Bold Lipstick Collection.

Leave me your thoughts on this look and the Subculture Palette below! Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for future posts! :-)
