June Favorites 2016

Alright, I hate to harp on how quickly this past month flew by, but really... June came and went faster than a one night stand dude. Truly. 

One day I was dating everything 6/1 and then what seemed like a week later, rent is due. Yet again. 
I don't have any brand new items to talk about, here's my list of items I couldn't stop using this month. 

Hope you enjoy. 

Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover
When I first started getting really into makeup during college, Clinique was the first 'high-end' brand I could afford, and I used their 3-step skincare for a few years without even trying this makeup remover. 
This was also before liquid lipsticks became my obsession and my nemesis. But now that I have close to 50 of these badboys, mama needs a remover that won't completely ruin my lips. 
In step Take The Day Off Makeup Remover. 
I can't speak on how well it removes foundations and eye makeup because I solely use it when I'm wearing stubborn lipstick (ie liquid lipsticks), and it works wonders for me !
I apply it liquid on a cotton pad, and start wiping my lips from the lipline in and when I'm finished there isn't a trace of product on my mouth. 
If you're having trouble finding a product gentle enough to remove your liquid lipsticks, I recommend this. It's not a drugstore price, but you get what you pay for.

Clinique Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser
I rediscovered how much I love this phucking stuff when my roommate(who works for a Lancome Counter) brought home a bunch of these little sample bottles. 
You've probably noticed in up-close photos, I have a bit of texture on my cheekbones, this shit made it vanish.  
With using half a dime size amount of this every morning and evening my face is as clear as all hell, and I ain't mad at that. It lathers up really nicely when activated with water, and when rinsed off leaves your face feeling clean, moisturized and ready to go. 
Can you ask for anything more?

Eylure x Vegas Nay Grand Glamour Lashes
I truly don't have a negative thing to say about this product, for around $7 at Ulta or Target you can buy these incredible triple stacked lashes and easily take any eye look to the next level. 
These wear beautifully on the eye and with decent maintenance they can last for weeks. 
You need to try theses if you haven't yet. 

Maybelline Fitme! Liquid Foundation in 335 Classic Tan
For the longest time I was mixing 2 colors of this liquid foundation to match my skin tone, but a month or so ago the brand released a few new shades and this is the perfect color for me. 
I've been using it non-stop and for $6 it's definitely one of my all time favorite drugstore products. 

NYX Lipsuede in Soft-Spoken
I've had this lipstick since it released, and it's never let me down. But recently I rediscovered it and fell in love with it all over again. It's a beautiful mauvey-brown when it dries down and it just suits almost any neutral look perfectly. I had to buy a backup of it, that's how much I've been using it. 
If your skin tone is close to mine, or not this would probably look beautiful on you

MORPHE WEEK - DAY 5

Okay everyone, today's post is all about Morphe individual shadows.
If you haven't seen the other posts from Mophe Week, definitely check them out 
Let me start out by saying they're $2.29 each but is comparable in quality to Makeup Geek and Anastasia. These are phucking amazing. 
Seriously buy a few of these. You won't be disappointed. 
You'll notice that 1 of the pans is larger, that's because I have one of their Premium eyeshadows ($6) and the quality is just insane. 
For $6 it should be an okay color, with okay pigmentation and okay staying power.. but it's so much better than okay. 
Morphe is killing it when it comes to affordable makeup. 

Let's jump in to it. 



from left to right 
Burlesque, Dazzling, Golden Glory, Honey Baked, Glisten, Perfection(my favorite brow highlight at the moment)

Deep Cocoa, Nuts For You, Caramelized, Cafe Macchiato, Deep Skin
Deep Skin is almost the same shade as my skin, so whenever I use too much product or need to clean up edges, I always reach for this. 
It never hurts to have a shade identical to your skin simply for this reason. 


Rosey Posey (premium e/s) Wink For Pink, Fiesta, Sassy, Rosewood, Secretive
Rosey Posey is just a pinch more peach than Wink For Pink. I don't know if you're able to tell in photos. 

Tokyo Tea, Ocean Frost, B.A.M., Aloha, Breakfast At Tiffaneez, Naughty Girl. 
The only shadow that has less than excellent color pay off is Breakfast At Tiffaneez. 
I had to run my finger in the pan 4times in order to get this very light baby blue eyeshadow to even show off on camera. It makes it super difficult to use on my oily lids. After a few hours of it on, it truly just fades away which is sad, because it's such a unique matte baby blue shade. 

Dramatic Cat Eye - Day 4

Happy Friday !!
It's a beautiful day in NEPA and this week was equally as beautiful. 
My first full week in my new leadership role was amazing, and I'm finally enjoying going to work !
Speaking of things I'm enjoying, this cat eye thoooooughh...
If you're petty and wanna show your ex's new thing that they still ain't shit... 
This is how you do your makeup.
