Out with the toxic products, in with the clean ones! I find it a little tricky to bring you on my Clean Beauty journey. I have so much to say & share! I debated only sharing my favorites, but that could take years, so I thought it would be worth bringing you through the trial & errors.
I’m taking major inspiration from Euphoria for these bright makeup products. Putting color on my eyes has been a thing of the past, but recently I’ve decided it’s time to get creative. Glitter, rhinestones, neons – I’m ready to play!
Burt’s Bee’s Foundation is my new favorite foundation because they’re clean & affordable! They’re SO good I couldn’t wait a minute longer to tell you more about them!
Ok, maybe not officially 100 but I have an excessive amount of makeup brushes, considering I use 5 of them. Sometimes I’ll grab a new brush hoping to actually need it, but never do. I like makeup, I like the brushes, but I only need 5 of them, the rest are just for decoration.
Today is for beauty & makeup; a foundation review from me to you! I know I’m always telling you guys how much I don’t like wearing full foundation, & that’s true, but I wear it anyway. I made an online purchase from Sephora months ago & they were doing a promotion. With the promotion, you received almost 20 different top brand foundations w your purchase. When I received the package I realized Sephora wasn’t messing around – so much fucking product. If you’ve ever bought brand name foundation, you’ll understand this was $$$$.
Lucky me, each brand came with a range of colors & I got away with using about 3 different shades of each brand, depending how tan I was. A lot of testing happening.
For the past 5 or so months I’ve been experimenting with a different foundation, daily. My goal was always to wear the foundation in the morning & throughout the day so I was able to see it’s lasting powers.
Here’s what I found out. Most foundations are the same. Boring? I know.
Because I obsess over Beauty YouTubers, I was expecting some major moments w each of these foundations, but nope. Not for the average girl like me. Which leads me to saying, I’M NOT A BEAUTY GURU. I like makeup, fashion, sparkle – but I’m not a professional. So this review is for the everyday girl at home that’s also not a major beauty guru (but may dream about being one someday). My descriptive language will quickly give away I’m no pro, so take this as different, unique feedback on some top foundation brands.
I happen to love makeup, hair & clothes. Makeup specifically. Similar to playing w glitter crayons & sequins as a kid; I now play w makeup. So I buy a lot of it, whenever there’s something new, pretty, or interesting; I try to add it to my collection. BUT, I know that’s not for everyone. I spent a lot of time on YouTube copying & learning from all the real makeup artists while I was in Dubai – but I’m fully aware ain’t everybody got time for that.
This list is a makeup starter kit OR it can be a makeup refresh kit. So if you’re not totally into makeup, but want to have your basics covered, this list is for you! Or, if all your make up is 37 years old & in desperate need of a refresh, this list has you covered! Full face, start to finish, products. I thought about this a lot. I had trouble in the beginning of my makeup journey because I would buy all the glittery & colorful eye shadows (they’re the prettiest, so obviously). But I could never make a full face come together. Or I didn’t know what product goes where. I either looked 198 years old or 3 years old. Needless to say, it wasn’t working. I wasted a lot of money. Which is why I came up w this list! I would’ve found it helpful before the dozens of glitter pink, purple, and blue purchases I made in the past.
I also didn’t want this list to be too expensive or overwhelming. Anything that is a little more money, is simply because I think it’s worth it, for your starter kit. You feel me? It’s the same things I would save my precious pennies for while I was in Dubai, so trust me, if I could do it then – you can do it now.
I haven’t had any time to blog because: OLYMPICS! I have a competitive personality & I get very into the Olympic games. (And yes, I do cry…
