Hey there. Since I recently redesigned this blog, I decided to relaunch it with new content. I relaunched this blog because the school year is coming back up and I'm a college student with a new part-time job (that I'm really excited about!) so if I can't film a lot. Ideally, I'd be posting a lot here. Anyways, it's time to go ahead and share my everyday makeup staples with you guys. :)

-NYX Above & Beyond Full Coverage Concealer (Medium): I've been loving this concealer lately. I apply it with a brush that is a dupe for a Sigma P80. It's essentially a small stipple brush for concealer. I love this product especially during the summer time. Normally, I tend to skip concealer and just go for a higher coverage foundation. However, since I live in the south (and it's crazy hot), I've been opting for a fuller coverage concealer and light coverage foundation. I apply this in triangles under my eyes and on any acne scarring I may have then blend it in a sponge similar to a Beauty Blender. This concealer does not match me perfectly. It is a little bit too light. However, the color closer to my skin tone was the wrong undertone. Long story short, I prefer this over the Benefit Boi-ing Concealer!

-Maybelline Fit Me Dewy & Smooth Foundation (315 Soft Honey): Spoiler alert: This is my second bottle of this foundation. I loved it that much after I finished the first one. Also, if you have the original Maybelline Fit Me, now it is repackaged as the Dewy & Smooth formula. Like the name, this foundation is a dewy finish that goes on so smooth and natural looking. Most of the time, my skin tends to be really dry so I love this foundation for me. If you have oily skin, I really wouldn't recommend this formula. (By the way, I always get compliments on how natural and pretty my makeup is when I wear this foundation!)

-Rimmel Stay Matte Powder (Transparent): This powder will not keep you matte all day. In fact, this powder only claims to keep you matte for 5 hours. Like I previously said, I have dry skin. However, I prefer really like the matte look. I normally use this powder to set the above products because at this point I normally have the coverage that I want. Throughout the day, the dewy foundation will break through this matte powder to make it actually look like my skin. <3 This is definitely why I love foundation routine!

-NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder (Sunny): I love this product so much. It's my favorite matte bronzer. (For reference: My favorite shimmery bronzer comes from the ELF Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder in St. Lucia.) The NYC bronzer is actually really close to my skin tone. However, when I build it up a little bit, it gives a nice, natural contour. I prefer natural contours on me so this product is something that I will continue to repurchase in the future.

-Profusion B.B. Lips Moisturizing Lip Balm (Peach): These are the supposed to be dupe for the Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balms. I think I'm going to do a full on review on this blog about the Profusion ones. However, this one has been my favorite lately. I love the moisture that it gives my lips. It's a tad bit tinted but not too much. It literally goes with any eyeshadow look imaginable. It smells amazing and it's easy to just throw in your purse and take with you throughout the day.

-NYX Butter Gloss (Madeline): This is essentially my perfect nude lip gloss. It smells amazing. It's one of those smooth lip glosses. It's not sticky like some lip glosses out there. Essentially, this is always in my purse for touch-ups. If you're about my skin tone and you're looking for more of a pinky nude in the butter glosses, try the NYX Butter Gloss in Tiramisu. :)
