Top 14 of 2014! Makeup Favorites

Hello beautiful people!

 I didn't do a monthly favorites post for December because I wanted to do a post that included my favorites for the entire year. I picked some of the things that I purchased in 2014 that were my favorites and that I used the most. This post is going up a little bit later than I wanted it to, and thats mainly because I used my new camera I got for Christmas to take the photos, and I'm super lazy when it comes to actually blogging from my computer (I'm so lazy that I take the photos and blog from my phone >.<). Also, I know that pretty much every blogger and youtuber has done posts and videos on this already, so sorry if you are tired of seeing the 'best of beauty' posts lol!

Top 14 of 2014

My two favorite foundations that I purchased this year are the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation, and the Covergirl Ready set Gorgeous Foundation. I love both of these a lot, and I really recommend checking out both of them if you are in need of a new foundation! The Covergirl one is definitely my most used one out of all the foundations that I own. 

Two of my other favorites this year came from Hourglass. The Ambient Lighting Palette and the Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure are two of my most used makeup items. I use the palette everyday and the blush is one of my favorites that I own. Silly me forgot to take a picture of them other than the packaging. Lol fail. 

The next two come from Nars. You all know I'm a huge fan of their cheek products! The first one is the Nars Laguna Bronzer. This is my all time favorite bronzer. I just purchased the full size a month or so ago because I used up the one I had that came with the blush duo. The next item is the Nars Almeria blush. I'm so obsessed with this blush its not even funny. It's such a unique color and I can't get enough of it.

These are my four favorite palettes I purchased this year. The first one is the UD Naked2 Basics palette. It's a great neutral palette for everyday wear. I used this one almost everyday and it's great if you are a fan of the Naked eyeshadow line like I am. 

Next is the Makeup Forever Artist shadows. These are the ones that you choose which colors go into your empty palette. These are super nice and really great quality!

The Too Faced Cat Eyes palette was another favorite of mine this year. The colors in it are gorgeous and I'm seriously in love with the Cheetah print packaging. 

Last for eyeshadows is the Maybelline The Nudes Palette. This is by far the best drugstore eyeshadow that I own. I love this palette so much and its another one I used on an everyday basis!

My two favorite and most used lipsticks are Mac Faux (left) and Mac Viva Glam 2 (right). They look similar here but Faux is more pink toned, and Viva Glam 2 is more brown/nude.

My favorite scent was Gucci Guilty. This stuff smells like heaven! If you haven't smelled this before, please go do so! It's amazing!

The last for my favorites this year is my set of Sigma Brushes. I believe I bought these last March. It was a set of 7 brushes on promotion for Jaclyn Hill on YouTube. I'm very sorry these are gross and dirty, but I use these everyday and they are amazing. I did have my F80 fall apart on me and Sigma was kind enough to send me a new one! 

This concluded my favorite post for 2014!! Thank you all for reading!

What are some of your favorites for 2014? Let me know in the comments!

FOTD: Everything Pink

Hello Everyone! I know I have been doing alot of FOTD posts, but I just get so excited when I put on my makeup in the morning and always want to take pictures of it and blog about the look I created. Lol.  Todays FOTD is going to feature pink eyeshadow, lipstick, blush, and highlighter. I really love all of the products I used in this look and now I will share some pictures!

For my Face:

I used the Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo foundation (little sample from sephora). I used the Covergirl & Olay simply ageless corrector under my eyes and the Revlon Color Stay concealer on top. I set my makeup with the Maybelline Dream Matte powder. I use the Elf golden bronzer all over my face for a slight bronzy glow.

I used Nars Laguna to contour my face, and Nars Deep Throat for my blush. I used Dior Rose Diamond to highlight my face. I found the best way to apply this highlight is with a smaller brush so it is more precise, rather than using a bigger brush because this is not as pigmented as alot of other highlighters that I've used. 

For my lips I used Snob by Mac.

For my Eyes:

For my eyeshadow base I used the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink. I used the Mac Double Feature 5 duo for my eyeshadow with the light pink all over my lid, and the darker shade in my crease. For my eyeliner I used the Marbella Permanent Eyepen. This eyeliner is great it does not smudge or run off my eyes at all. For my waterline I used Urban Decay 24/7 liner in perversion. For my mascara I used Benefits They're Real. 

I hope you all enjoyed this post and thank you so much for reading! 

FOTD + OOTD: City and Bright Colors

Hello Everyone!! Today I am going to share both an Outfit of the Day along with the makeup I wore when my husband and I went to Ann Arbor, Michigan with a group of friends. We love going there because it's a fun city with lots of stuff to do, and since it's summer time I chose to wear some bright colors on my eyes and for my outfit as well. 

Here is a pictures that I took of the downtown area. 

FOTD

Face Makeup:

For my foundation I used the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous. For my concealer I used the Covergirl & Olay simply agless corrector and the Revlon Color Stay concealer on top. I set my makeup with the Maybelline Dream Matte Powder and the Elf HD powder. I use the Elf golden bronzer all over my face for a night bronzy glow. I used NYC bronzer in sunny to contour. I used Benefit's Coralista for my blush, and the Chella highlighter pencil to highlight my face.

Eye Makeup:

I used Maybelline Color Tattoo in Too Cool for my eyeshadow primer/base. The White color really makes the bright yellow eyeshadow I applied more vibrant. This eyeshadow is Three Ring Yellow by Mac. In my crease I used Naked2 and Faint from the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette, with Venus as my brow highlight. I used Satin Taupe by Mac in my outer corners and lower lash line. For my eyeliner I used the Bombshell liquid eye pen for my top liner and Urban Decay 24/7 liner in perversion in my waterline. For my Mascara I used Maybelline the Falsies.

I'm really obsessed with this bright yellow eyeshadow. My lovely friend Danielle at Foxy Lady Beauty gave it to me!

OOTD

This bright orange/coral dress is from Target. I love the bright color for summer! My skull necklace is from a store in Orlando that was in downtown disney. I have seen necklaces similar in alot of different stores lately. My watch and my purse are both from Fossil. 

I hope you all enjoyed and thank you so much for reading!
