Flawless Face: On A Budget! A start to finish look with all drugstore products! Perfect for Summer! #beauty #makeup

Summer is just a few days away so I wanted to share a budget friendly, quick, easy and flawless makeup look! For whatever reason whenever Summer starts to kick down our doors I want to spend less and less time getting ready and more time out enjoying these gorgeous days! I want to be able to get a flawless finish that won’t melt away and have it be just a couple products so that it’s not taking forever!

A good base is a must for any Summer look, so after I’ve applied my skincare I will go with L’Oreal’s Magic Lumi Brightening Primer. This primer will not only get our face ready and help our makeup stay put but brighten us up and give us that sort of fresh faced and dewy natural look. I’ll swap out my regular liquid foundation and go with this Maybelline BB Cream which applies similarly to a tinted moisturizer and is super lightweight for the season. If I don’t absolutely need it, I will skip a heavy concealer and opt for this Dream Lumi Highlighting concealer for my highlighting needs and apply it in a triangular motion under my eyes, down my nose, to my t-zone and my cupids bow. You can check this how to highlight and contour post to get a better idea of how I do it! To finish up my face, I’ll add some of this super creamy and blendable bouncy blush & a powder bronzer for the sunkissed glow!

For my eyes, I like to use a Maybelline Color Tattoo in a light pink shade for my primer all over my lid and then go in with one of these eyeshadow quads with pretty natural colors. I use the Wet n Wild brow palette to fill in my brows, a volumizing mascara and felt tip eyeliner!

The last thing I do is pick out a bright lip to really give the look a pop of color. Easy as pie, this look can be created in under fifteen minutes and you’re good to go! Be sure to check out my other Summer Beauty Tips & more Time Saving Beauty Tips!

    I use the same Maybelline Color Tattoo shade – isn’t it just lovely? Great post – it’s always nice to see well-reviewed budget beauty buys. I want to try that Loreal primer now, it sounds great.

    This is a great post, always fun to hear about make up 🙂 The color tattoo shadow is my favorite! It’ stays all day and looks fab the whole time! I’m definitely going to learn to contour this summer – that’s my goal!

    I was just staring at that bouncy blush this weekend, wondering if it works or not! Thanks for the recommendation!

Instagram post 2192621539170211925_31480883 We’re hitting that time of year where every diet/program/tummy tea/magic pill is going to be shoved down your throat. Your social media feed will be full of it. It’ll be on billboards when you’re driving. You’ll start seeing ads for “Special Pricing for women for just $10/mth” because you know we only really care if women are fat. Must change the women. 🙄 Drink this for weight loss. Cut the carbs. Don’t eat that. Juice cleanse this detox tea that. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
This is your reminder that your size does not define you. Your worth is not held in a number on a scale. The tag in those jeans? It means nothing. You can be healthy at ANY size. BMI is bullshit. Sugar is not a sin. Carbs are fine. Exercise is not a punishment. Food does not have a moral compass. That piece of cake does not equal failure. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
In years past I’ve felt pressured to have a weight loss related goal or resolution when entering the new year. Sometimes that feeling was crippling. And this year? IDGAF. Not one single fuck. This is me 🤷🏼‍♀️ If you have a weight loss goal, that’s cool. I’m just here to remind you that you don’t NEED one to be the best version of you. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
If you’re looking for non-weight related goals for the new year... here are mine: ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
• Get Stronger ⠀
• Take no shit ⠀
• Sleep more ⠀
• Travel my state ⠀
• Drink more water ⠀
• Try a yoga class ⠀
• Take the train to NYC ⠀
• Go to the beach more⠀
• Lift heavier⠀
• More date nights⠀
• Be still⠀
• Read more books ⠀
• Nurture connections⠀
• Make 2020 my bitch ⠀

The last few days I’ve been feeling off. Down? Maybe.. Anxious? Absolutely. Stressed? Yep. Work drained me. Jim got sick so our schedule is out of whack. I’ve felt like there’s not enough time in the day to do everything I think I should be doing. Deadlines. My cats knocked over a full glass of soda onto my just cleaned floor. I slept on the couch to try to stay away from Jims cold and woke up miserable. I thought all day it was a day earlier then it was. I hated my dinner. All tiny little things that trigger my anxiety when happening all at once. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Here’s a strange way my anxiety and depression presents. Whenever I even feel it starting to creep in a tiny bit I get SO ANGRY at myself. Like I’ve done something wrong even when I know I haven’t. I get angry at myself for not having a plan to turn it around. Full on rage that I can’t even figure out why it’s happening. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Usually when that happens I’ll force myself to figure it out. Plan it out. Make a list. But right now? Right now I’m choosing to just sit with myself. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
We all deal with the shit that comes with life. Big or small. Life is sometimes a bitch. And that’s fine. We get to do it all again tomorrow. Just a gentle reminder that it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to just stop and let your body rest. It’ll all be there in the morning. Give yourself permission to just be still if you must. ■ ⠀
