The Best Brush Cleaner - Mac Brush Cleaner

This im my favorite brush cleaner ever. It doesnt have a bad smell like most, it works fast, and your brushes dry fast!  It's really great for spot cleaning or deep cleaning. I mow find cleaning my brushes very relaxing and hustle free.

Small Haul

So did a little shopping for myself about a week before christmas. I went with one of my best girl friends who is great to shop with as she has super great fashion sence.

I have had Benefit Their Real sample before but I ran out so I bought the full size.

Then I got Nars Laguna Bronzer which every girl ownes or should own. Its amazing. I use it everyday. Its great for contouring or just an over all bronze look.

Then since its my birthday month I got a free Benefit Birthday Duo of Watts up and a mini their real. Love both of them.

Hope everyone had a great holiday and a happy new Year!

My Everyday Foundation Routine

I like to keep my face makeup as light as I can get it. If i do heavy makeup my face tends to break out. I keep my thicker foundations for special occasions such as job interviews, special diners, or going on a date. I do change products around depending on the time of year and if my skin is breaking out that I need more full coverage products. 

- Moisturizer -

I always tend to use the same moisturizer. The Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturizer is amazing for all types of skin. I have oily skin so I use this because it is oil free and helps with my acne prone skin. It also doesn't affect my already sensitive skin. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and smooth.

- Primers -

I always have to use primers. If I dint my face makeup will be melting of my face by the end of the day.

Urban Decay De slick Setting Spray - I use this before and after I do my makeup. I use it like a primer in my T-zone where I get most oily. It really helps mattify my skin. Then I use it after I do all my face makeup to make my makeup not look cakey and makes it look very natural.

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer {Light} - I use this over my entire face. It really just gives me a good base to apply my makeup.

Benefit The Porefessional - I use this for my T-zone area. Helps hide my pores, smooths my skin, and helps stop oiliness. This makes my skin feel like velvet! I do rotate this with my Too Faced Primed and Pore-less Primer.

- Foundation -

L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid to Powder - I love this foundation for how thin and light feeling it is. This is a very watery foundation so you do have to work with it. You only need about  dimes size to cover you're entire face. You are able to add layers if you need more coverage. This is Light to Medium coverage. Does not break me out.

Chanel Vita Lumiere Aqua - This is one of my favorite foundations of all time! Every time I use it, it always feels very high end. This is a water based foundation. Very thin but more creamier than the L'Oreal Foundation. Great coverage. Feels like silk on the skin.

- Concealer -

Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer - I believe this is is discontinued. This feels very similar to the foundation form of this. I will have to try the foundation and see if I can use it as a concealer. This is light but bailable. Looks very Natural.

Maybelline Dark Eye Circle Eraser - I love this! I takes away my dark circles leaving my eye area look airbrushed! I have horrible dark circles and this really does erase them.

- Powder -

Rimmel Stay Matte Face Powder - This is my fave powder. This is the second one I have bought. Normally I cant get threw face powders. This keeps me matte all day I do have to touch up about 6 hours later just around my nose area. This can be a little to much so I recommend a setting spray so it doesn't look cakey.

So that's my face routine! Its very simple. This is what I use when I do wear a full face. On many days I will just do moisturizer, primer, and some face powder. Please let me know what you think! Check out my links down below!

Love you all!

My MAC Eyeshadow Collection and Review

I love MAC eyeshadows. They have great prices on most things. Pan Eyeshadows are now $10. Potted are $15. The Larger ones I believe are $20 or $21. I bought my first Mac eyeshadow about 2 1/2 years ago. As you can tell it has grown.

I only own two Limited Edition shadows so you should be able to find most of these.

Hope you liked it! Have a great day!

XOXO, Skyler
