My Every Day Face

In writing some of my recent beauty posts, and cleaning out my makeup bag, I thought it would be fun to share my everyday makeup items with you. You know, my arsenal of beauty products that make me feel put together and pretty. As I've mentioned several times in the last few years, my makeup drawer is overflowing with all kinds of pink/nude lipsticks, pink/peach blushes, and the shimmer is everywhere. EVERYWHERE. With trying to focus my beauty buys more on repurchases/refills, my everyday look consists mainly of my Holy Grail items, many of which I've blogged about before.

I typically wear the same makeup every day, I may skip an item here or there, but I keep it pretty consistent. My everyday makeup probably takes me about 10-15 minutes and another 5 minutes or so if I’m getting ready for something special (i.e. pack on more shadow and mascara). I've been doing the same routine and application for so many years, I could probably do it with my eyes closed, except for the liner- could you imagine?? The biggest variance to my routine is swapping out shadow colors for more browns or pinks. MAC All That Glitters and Naked Lunch are my staples! I love them and use them as a base for most pairings. They’re often sold out, so I’ll sometimes even buy them two at a time- same with the Hue lipstick!

Product Review & Giveaway: Younique 3D Fiber Mascara

My beauty routine has been rocked. I've heard a lot about a new product by Younique, a 3D Fiber Lash Mascara, but didn't think too much about it. Then Jamie contacted me to try it out and do a fun giveaway with Younique and I took the plunge. Holy moly. When I went out to lunch the other day I was asked 3 times if my lashes were fake! 3 times!! I've been asked several times since about what mascara I'm using and if they're fake lashes. I felt like my lashes could be part of a butterfly effect.

Younique is an all-natural company that started in 2012 and the 3D Fiber Lash Mascara was their flagship product. It's a three step process that uses a gel and fiber combination. You start with a coat of your own mascara (not necessary, but a personal choice), apply a coat of the transplanting gel, apply the fibers, and then the gel again to seal it all together. One coat of this is all you need!

My first day using it I was kind of timid, but now I'm a total pro. My biggest tip is to apply the gel generously at the end to really seal in all of the fibers. When I did this, I didn't have any fall out. That's my biggest pet peeve with mascara. The mascara lasted all day long, is water resistant, and washes off easily with a bit of face wash. It retails for $29, but is seriously worth every single penny. I usually never spend more than $10 on mascara, but I have not tried a single mascara that gives this kind of boost.

The giveaway is for Younique's Rose Water which helps balance and tone oily skin, soothes and cools dry and sensitive skin, and cleanses and purifies normal skin. Check out all the ways to enter below and best of luck!
