5 Minute Makeup Look

Love This 5 Minute Makeup Look! Easy To Follow Instructions! #Rimmel #BeautyInspiration   #shop #CollectiveBias

Have errands to run, a quick trip to Walmart, running out to the post office? Then a 5 Minute Makeup Look is right up your alley! I have never been one of those girls who spend hours in front of the mirror getting ready. Truth is, I procrastinate quite a bit so I just don’t have the time and 5 Minute Makeup Looks are my kind of looks for sure! Whenever I am in need of a little #BeautyInspiration I gravitate straight to Walmart for my drugstore mascara, drugstore foundation and all of the products I need to pull off a 5 Minute Makeup Look! Today we’re gonna chit chat about how y’all can get this quick go-to look as well with ALL Rimmel products! Is that not the best? I love creating a whole look from one brand! It makes my life so much easier!

Get The Look:  5 Minute Makeup That Anyone Can Do! Quick & Simple With Just One Brand! #Rimmel #BeautyInspiration   #shop #CollectiveBias

This eye makeup look is SUPER easy to accomplish! Like I said, we’re using all one brand so you can just run into your local Walmart and grab all of these awesome RIMMEL products and you’re good to go! First things first, I started with the RIMMEL Stay Matte Foundation, perfect for 5 minute makeup looks because it’s super lightweight but has pretty full coverage during application so I don’t need to use any sort of concealers when I am using this!

5 Minute Makeup Look

Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation #BeautyInspiration   #shop #CollectiveBias

STEP 1 ||  APPLY ALL OVER YOUR FACE ||  I squeezed out about a nickel sized amount of product onto the back of my hand & used a damp beauty sponge to apply this. You can really play with the coverage and if you’re planning on doing a 5 Minute Makeup Look this can be your primer, concealer & foundation all in one. Just focus on different areas when applying and if you need a bit more coverage build the foundation up there. This feather light, oil free formula with an airy mousse texture makes it so that you don’t have that heavy cakey feeling and you won’t look greasy. Delivers all day shine control and blends flawlessly for a natural looking matte finish. Minimizes the appearance of pores (which is why for the purposes of a quick/no-time at all look you can think of this as your ‘primer’ as well) and is the perfect base for your look!

Rimmel Shadow Sticks #BeautyInspiration   #shop #CollectiveBias

STEP 2  ||  APPLY SHADOW STICKS TO YOUR LID ||  As shown in the graphic above you’ll want to grab three of your favorite RIMMEL Scandeleyes Shadow Sticks and apply the lightest of three shades to the inner corner of your eye (as shown in section #1) for that highlight. Apply another shade of your choice (as shown in section #2) to your lash line, I went with Tempting Turquiose to have a bit of fun for the quick look without being too time consuming. Then you’ll want to apply your final shade (as shown in section #3) all over your lid, I went with Bulletproof Bronze!

Rimmel Scandeleyes Gel Liner #BeautyInspiration   #shop #CollectiveBias

STEP 4 ||  APPLY YOUR EYELINER  || You’ll want to go with a liner that is easy to apply, glides on quickly and has some staying power! For me, that’s RIMMEL Scandeleyes Gel Eye Liner and I am obsessed with this stuff! You get an intense color that doesn’t smudge, run or flake off.

Rimmel Retro Glam Mascara #BeautyInspiration   #shop #CollectiveBias

STEP 5 ||  APPLY YOUR MASCARA  ||  Have you ever met a mascara that you just couldn’t live without? I have and I would like to introduce you to the RIMMEL Scandeleyes Retro Glam Mascara in ‘Extreme Black’! I like to really play up my mascara when I am doing a simple look! You can get the false lash look without actually having to take the time to apply falsies! With drugstore mascara you can really get a lot of bang for your buck! The brush is fabulous, an hour-glass brush shaped to the lash line to plump lashes, fanning them up and out for bold, wide-eyed volume. You really get a bold, big, false lash look in one simple stroke. No clumps!

STEP 6 ||  BRONZER  || Apply your brozer just below your cheekbones, a bit on your jaw line, a bit to your temples and right around your temples to get that easy sun-kissed natural bronze look in less then 5 minutes!

Rimmel Lipstick #BeautyInspiration   #shop #CollectiveBias

STEP 7 ||  APPLY YOUR LIPSTICK || Since I was going for a 5 Minute Makeup Look I knew I had to multi-task! I used the lipstick not only for my lips but as a blush too so I could have that natural flush! This shade, #28, was the perfect one to use! Super creamy, buildable and intense color for your cheeks & lips!

There you have it a quick and easy 5 Minute Makeup Look straight from your local Walmart and easy enough that you can use all RIMMEL products! It’s no secret that RIMMEL is one of my favorite brands! I’m excited to share with you that April 2014 is RIMMEL’s 180 year anniversary, and there will be a $1 off coupon in the Sunday newspaper for the RIMMEL Scandeleyes Retro Glam Mascara & RIMMEL Stay Matte Foundation, making them even more affordable! Don’t forget you can grab these products in the beauty aisle of your local Walmart!

⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
