Daytime Glam using Morphe 35O

Hi everyone !
I hope your weekend was everything you dreamed it would be and more.

Saturday was my nana's Surprise birthday party, she turns 80 this week, so I was busy running around making sure the last minute details were perfect. And they weren't, as we were walking in to the hotel where the party was located, there's my aunts and cousins in the hall.. -___-

But all in all it was great, family and friends from all over the country were in town and she had a great time. That's all that matters. 

Anyways, my post today is on the look that I wore at that party. I got a lot of compliments and questions on it, and it's rather easy to do so, let's get right into it. 

All of the eye shadows are from my current everyday palette, the 35O by Morphe. 

It just makes waking up late, just a little bit less stressful.

Hard Candy 12Hour Power Primer 

Milani Prime Perfection (Matte) (this blurs my pores, and keeps my oily skin tame)

Airspun Loose Translucent Powder

Milani Baked Blush in Red Vino

NYX Contour Kit

NYX Illuminator in Magnetic

I know the Morphe 35O palette is always out of stock, it's out of stock at the moment :/

But they do restock it often, so keep your eyes out. If you follow the brand on Instagram they're very good with letting their followers know when it'll be out. 

Also, I  will be doing a full review of the Marc Jacobs foundation, so keep an eye out for that in the next upcoming weeks.

Glow Green

Hello ma'am/sir.
As a beauty blogger, sometimes I have to force myself out of my comfort zone in order to find inspiration.
This is not one of those times. This weekend, while sitting at my boyfriend's place with nothing else to do I pulled out my makeup and just played in my collection, one of my all time favorite things to do in case you were wondering.
I recently purchased a ton of products from Morphe and this look is focused on one of their stunning eyeshadows. Tokyo Tea. It's a beautiful lime green lustre shadow with iridescent flecks running through it. UGH. Basically it's gorgeous and you need to buy it.

Here's what I came up with guys, hope you enjoy it !

March Favorites 2016

Well another month has come and gone, and with that there are a few different products I've been reaching for

1. Garnier Fructis Waterproof Micellar Water

I believe it was in February when I was finally able to get my hands on Garnier's Micellar Water. 

You see here that I purchased the waterproof formula, something I don't typically do. I find that 'waterproof' formulas are not as great as the original formula for most products. But this stuff seriously works. It's a dual phase micellar water, so you wanna be sure to give the bottle a good shake or two before you use it. I apply it onto a large cotton round and wipe. The first time I used it, I was hooked. It took off everything. When I went in with another cotton round I was shocked to see just a smidge of leftover makeup. 

I typically use this at night before washing my face (key word; typically), it claims you don't have to and I've definitely put it to the test. Nights when I'm too lazy to give my face a good scrub, I just make sure to use it again in the morning. 

You can find it just about anywhere, CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Target, or here at Walmart

2. Wet n Wild Shimmering Palette in Boozy Brunch

If you haven't noticed, we're living in a world where no highlight is too bright, too bold, or too daring. And I thoroughly enjoy it. Wet N Wild's Spring 2016 collection has just what you're looking for. This is fucking bombdotcom. It's a dupe for Champagne Pop. And it's $4.99. You're welcome. 

3. ELF Cosmetics Blush Palette in Dark

This palette is really something else. If you have Medium to Dark skin and haven't tried this, I highly highly highly suggest it. Especially now, all 4 blushes are wearable, easily blended, and gorgeous on the skin. This was $6 on the elfcosmetics site. This is perfect for this time of year, peaches and coral blushes all in one small and affordable palette. You need this. 

4. Wet n Wild Powder Brush

I mean.. how cute is this goddamn thing? That's what sold me, and it's gonna sell you too. This was under $5 and I don't regret it. I actually went back and bought 2 more. The bristles on this are sooo soft, and it easily applies and blends out all powder products. I've been reaching for this constantly since I bought it.. it's just too damn cute. I love it. 

What were some of your favorites this month ?
