Double review-eye palettes!

Maybelline "The Nudes" & "The Blushed Nudes" eyeshadow palettes :)
Good eyeshadow for the price. Pigmented pretty well, I feel like a shadow primer is worth it, but they work well without one too. I love browns and neutral colored shadows so both of these are good choices if you're anything like me. Both of these palettes have a good color range, the "blushed" palette has more pink toned eyeshadows, hence the word blushed. Sometimes I'll use colors from both palettes together and I'm never not pleased. I also love the 2,3, and 4 step mini tutorials on the back of the palettes. Some of the colors are sparkly and some arent but I like all of them. I suggest both of these palettes especially since fall is almost here and that means it's about time to rock a copper eye. ;)

Mascara 1

Mascara is definitely my make up go to. If I’m having a lazy day or just running late I always find time to put on a quick coat of mascara. I constantly find myself looking for a mascara that will give me not only long but also full and even lashes. Let's be real here, drugstore make up is where it's at. Unless you're rich, I imagine all thing from sephora are nice too. But I'm not rich, so for now I'm sticking with my local Walgreens. Okay, with a Sephora trip now and then. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I heard about this mascara in a YouTube video I was watching and noticed how nice the YouTuber gals eyelashes were, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I was very pleased with the results! At first when I opened the bottle I saw the very tiny and thin wand and thought for sure it was gonna be a dud, but the wand is actually key to what makes this mascara work so well. Very buildable formula and gets to every last lash. When I first used this mascara I actually was so excited with how well it worked I ran out of my room to show my sister how long my lashes were, to which she replied "clockwork orange." Hahaha, so all in all this mascara is seriously a must!

Baby Skin - best drugstore primer

Hey fellow make up maniacs! This is my first blog post so I thought I'd start with a first step of any good make up routine: primer.  :)

At first I was skeptical of this product, the idea that something could instantly make pores invisble just didn't seem doable. But the price was right and I was curious enough to make the purchase so I did, and boy was it a good choice. Nowhere on the package do I remember it saying this little guy was a primer, but it did say "use alone or under make up."

My skin type is oily/combo and it seems everyday just after a few hours my t-zone is very oily. UGH. When I wear this under my foundation my face stays rather matte for my whole school day, if not longer. I haven't had to use an oil blotter or felt greasy and gross since I started using this. If you have oily/combo skin this is a must, or even if youre just looking for a great primer! Makes my foundation last all day. 

Clear gel-like substance, use fingers for application on my t-zone.

5/5 stars!
