Yesterday's Face of the Day

So I haven't posted in a while but I figured since I had a little time today that I would do a face of the day from yesterday because I haven't done my makeup yet today! And don't know if I will either! #lazysunday

Face:
CeraVe Moistuizing Cream was applied all over my face because my skin has been super dry.
Then I used bareMinerals Prime Time all over my face.
I then used my e.l.f mineral concealer in the shade fair to correct under eye circles and redness around my nose.
Then I put bareMinerals Powder foundation in light all over my face.
Followed by my Wet n Wild blush in the shade Heather Silk, which I applied to my outer cheeks and not my apples.
Then I applied Benefits Hoola bronzer directly below my blush.
Then on my cheek bones I added some of the Wet n Wild color icon bronzer in the shade Reserve Your Cabana.. This shade is actually a highlight, I don't know why they call it a bronzer?

That was it for my face, so on to the eyes.

I applied my E.l.f  eyelid primer all over eyelids.
Then for the rest of my look I use my Nudetude by The Balm.
First I started with the shade stand-offish all over my inner lid and on my brow bone.
Then I put the shade sultry on my outer corner of my lid.
Lastly I put the shade sexy in my crease and blended it out.
I then applied a thick cat eye type of  winged eyeliner with my Stila all day eyeliner on my upper lash line.
On my lower lash line I applied my tarte smolderEYES eyeliner in fig just below my waterline.
I then applied my Salon Perfect Demi Whispie false lashes, with those I used my revlon lash glue in black.
My last and final eye step was filling in my brows with my e.l.f brow kit in medium.

Then last but not least, lips:

I used my NYC lip stain in Tropic Tan as a base. Then I went over that with a frosty pink Softlips lip balm.

And that was all she wrote:)
I'm sorry I didn't put out more blogs this week.

I got a Pinterest!!

Check out my blog's new pinterest account!

Products I Am Getting Ride Of! Part 1!

I will do lots of categories in this blog! I recently went on a spring break trip and did quite a bit of shopping so I needed to thin out my collection of girly goodies!! So here we go!!!!!!

Nail polish -
Pure Ice in the shade French Kiss, too thin and transparent, bright royal blue.
Victoria Secret's Pink in the shade In Your Dreams, transparent. Light pale pink.
SinfulColors Professional in the shade Unicorn, transparent even with multiple coats. Pale Yellow.
Maybelline Color Show in the shade Pink Shock (a highlighter pink) and Keep Up The Flame (a candy apple red color) - ugly type of matte and transparent with three coats!

Perfumes -
Secret Body Spray Scent Expressions in Cocoa Butter Kiss Scent - it smells fine and cocoa buttery but I needed to limit my collection so I figured that This product wouldn't have a very lasting scent through out the day.
Bandida - that is all that the bottle says, it has an awesome appearance but the packaging leaks a bit and it has a strong floral/ clean scent that I don't find myself reaching for very often.

Hygiene Products -
Scentations by body source in the scent sunshine flower, this product is a shower gel  that I honestly haven't used once, it has a very faint scent of flowers and summer time that is pleasant but I have never used it so it is better to let someone else get use out of it.
Secret Invisible Solid Scent Expression Antiperspirant and Deodorant in the scents pasiĆ³n de tango and completely clean. I don't really sweat much but these did not leave me feeling clean or smelling sweat free even after only a couple hours of wear.

Face Serums -
Olehenriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster, I got this in a free sample kit from Sephora and Simply never used it because I don't recall use anything to help my face from wrinkling.
Obagi ELASTderm Eye Complete Complex Serum, I used to use this everyday before I put of my makeup and didn't see any improvement in my few under eye wrinkles or in my dark circles and this was I believe and $80 product, very disappointed.

Moisturizers and Tanners -
BareMinerals Purely Nourishing Moisturizer for Combination Skin, I do not have combo skin so this moisturizer was not heavy enough for my dry skin before bed of before I apply my make up. I got this in a kit so don't think I went out looking for a combo skin moisturizer when I know I have dry skin, haha!
Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil - this product didn't really seem to sink into my skin and really moisturize it so I couldn't use it at night and the oil feeling takes so long to go away that I couldn't use this as a pre makeup moisturizer either.
Obagi Nu-Derm Action Moisturizer - this is a good heavy moisturizer but I prefer my new nighttime moisturizer because it leaves my skin feeling smoother and it feels lighter on the skin. This moisturizer reminds me of a heavy avon foot cream. So overall, this is heavy, non skin smoothing and doesn't do the job it should for its high price of $40.
Equate Beauty Dual Power Moisturizer, this product is a moisturizer an acne fighter. I did not notice it helping with acne and it wasn't very moisturizing on my skin. This product may work for a person with combo skin.

I hope that this post helped people see products that they should steer clear of or maybe a product or two that would work for them but didn't work for me! Thanks for taking your time to read this post, be on the look out for part two (heads up -it all about makeup!).
