I’m the girl who pretty much never leaves the house without a full face of makeup on! I’ll be honest and say this originally came from my insecurities in high school, but now it’s just that I enjoy putting it on and it makes me feel put together and good about myself! 

I like a full coverage foundation, natural eye, and I typically go for a nude lip. 

Again, being honest here– Almost all of my makeup is ELF or Ulta brand because it can get expensive real quick. The only product I will splurge on is my foundation. I feel a good foundation creates the whole look and makes everything overall look good! I also recently bought the Tarte Shape Tape concealer and will probably be splurging on that again too 🙂 It’s as good as everyone said! 

 

Let’s get to it! Here’s my everyday makeup routine – 

(Disclaimer: I am no makeup expert, so if you have any tips or tricks for me, comment below!) 

• I always moisturize first then primer- I am currently loving the Tula face filter primer. 
• Foundation- Esteé Lauder Double Wear Foundation (shade “Fresco” for winter/ “Pebble” for summer.)
• Concealer- Tarte Shape Tape- shade “light”
• Eyes: I use the Urban Decay eyeshadow primer because I crease really easily! My two favorite pallets are the Naked2 pallet and the Morphe Pro 35!
• Blush, bronzer, and highlighter: Honestly, these vary and I use whatever I can find the best deal on! Currently I’m using the Maybelline Facestudio Master Contour kit Wal-mart in shade “Medium to Deep”. Great price and great quality if you ask me! 
• Brows: My all time favorite is the Esteé Lauder Brow Now Pencil (received this as a sample and just haven’t bought the full size). I am currently using the Ulta Brow Pencil in shade “Ash Taupe”
• Lashes- Favorite mascara is the Tarte lights, camera, lashes™ 4-in-1 mascaraif I don’t have lash extensions. 
• Setting Powder- Ulta Mineral Setting Powder!
• Lip Combo: Ulta Lip Liner in shade “Mocha” + NYX Lip Lingerie in shade “Lace Detail” + Buxom Lip Cream in shade “Amy” — I used this combo on my wedding day, but it’s also great for an everyday neutral lip!

Spring Break 

Are you planning a trip for spring break? Or are you like me and no longer in school, but just in need for a quick vacay away from work? I feel you girl! I’m in desperate need of some vitamin sea and beach therapy! 

Does packing and planning what to wear for your trip overwhelm you and cause unwanted anxiety? I’m going to share some of my favorite packing essentials and some super cute spring looks that I hope will make your planning period a breeze! 

Let’s start with packing tips and tricks! 

Plan ahead! 

           Try on outfits!           

(This helps you make sure you have all the right accessories to complete the look!)

                 Organize and Combine!         

(Can you wear the same jeans with two outfits or can you style a top differently? This helps especially when you’re trying to pack light!)
