I apologize for looking un-awake... I decided to do this one right out of bed!
This face cleanser was one of the free samples I got when I went to Sephora! It's a good product but I think I'm going to stick to my typical Neutrogena face wash :-)
Facial masks are one of my favorite things to do and the Goji Berry formula is definitely one of my favorites. It hydrates and leaves my skin feeling really soft and refreshed! It goes on clear and dries kind-of white (it looks like the peels from a bad sunburn lol).
I left this on until it dried!
Since I only used about half of this packet and I want to reuse it in the future, I put it in a bag (hopefully it doesn't dry out!).
So the mask has dried and my face looks all peel-y. I washed it off with some warm water!
This was the other free sample from Sephora. This face moisturizer is nice but I'm not sure that I'd buy the full size. I'm too attached to my moisturizer!
I put this all over my face after I washed off the mask.
Next step before foundation is always face primer! I'm using the Victoria's Secret Pro Primer that I mentioned in my other posts. Just waiting for this one to run out so I can try out a new one!
I happened to stumble upon this new foundation formula by Neutrogena. It's supposed to cater to normal-oily skin (which I have-yay!). I have been using this foundation for about a week and I already love it. It looks very natural to my skin :-)
I saw this e.l.f. stipple brush at Target for $3. It was a bargain for sure and I love it already.
99% of the time I use stipple brushes for my liquid foundation and this one is the perfect size.

After I applied the foundation :-)
After 2.5 years, I finally ran out of my primary eye primer and so I had to get more while I was home. I expect this one to last me another 2.5 years :-) Very happy with this product.
First eye shadow I used is the L'Oreal infallible. I've used this one in other tutorials! It's a really great brightening eye shadow. Also, it is almost cream texture so it isn't as dry as normal powder shadows.
I only put it on the main lid.
This is in fact my very first eye shadow from MAC. I'm super excited about it and I've fallen deep in love with it already. The shade is Haux. It's a subtle color but it does a lot in the end.
I used these two brushes: (top) for the bottom lid along eye lashes; (bottom) for along the top crease and blending upwards towards brows.
I then used my socket brush with Brownie from Makeup Store. It's important with this kind of brush to only apply the shadow on the tip so that the surrounding bristles will blend the eye shadow.
In the top frame is a highlighter from benefit. This was a part of my birthday gift from Sephora. Here, I applied it on my brow bone and just on the top of my cheek bones. It's a very nice product and I would most likely buy this product. It really adds a youthful glow!
At this point, it's optional if you want to add eye liner or not. The eye shadows are independent enough to be it's own look but since I typically use liquid eye liner, I continued to use it! But it's all your taste :-)
This was the second birthday gift from Sephora, it's a mascara also from benefit. This mascara is really strong and quite honestly, I'm not sure I'd commit to it in the end. I find that if I work too much at my lashes, they end up sticking together and not looking natural. But it is a good product-just not my fave!
Finally, I added a bit of the white eye shadow on the inner corners of my eyes. The color is Candlelight by Coastal Scents.
The finished product! Definitely my go-to look. So easy, simple, and pretty.
I ended up getting a couple of really cute nail polishes from Target: Sugar Daddy from essie and Revlon's 580 Eclectic. Both are gorgeous colors.
All the while, I had this guy burning. It smells like happiness :-)
