Beauty/Makeup Favorites.

Hello again!

As I mentioned before I love fashion, beauty, and makeup, so I thought I would do a post about my favorite items at the moment. By no means am I a professional, these are my favorites purely based on opinion. Read on if you'd like to know the opinions of a regular old girl like myself. :) Also, I'm adding photos to go along with the post but I do not have a nice professional camera or good lighting, so please don't judge.

First is my favorite perfume. It's called Chance Eau Tendre by Chanel. According to the website it is a decidedly young scent in a constellation of tender and vibrant notes, at once delicate and airy, with an intoxicatingly light, fruity trail. The size I got was $90, but you can get a smaller size for $68, and a larger one for $115. This is my second bottle of this perfume, and you can see there is already a significant amount gone, so if you trust my opinion at all, you know it's a classic. It doesn't hurt that the bottle is nice to look at. 

Next is a much cheaper item, and it is for your hair. I have very straight hair and have always admired girls with pretty wavy hair. I remember in middle school/early high school I used to "scrunch" my hair with gel, and it just looked bad (it did look good on some girls though). After watching many videos on YouTube, I decided to purchase some salt spray. I wanted to purchase a more expensive option, but as this was my first time using it I decided to purchase a cheaper one to determine if I even liked the product at all. Well, I love it! I got the Schwarzkopf got2b Beach Trippin' Salt-Infusion Waving Spray. It is $3.94 from any store like Wal-Mart, Meijer, or Target. I'm not sure if it's the best of it's kind, but it does the job for me. 

 Next is a foundation that I've been using recently and really loving. I mostly buy drug store foundation because I figured that they all did the same thing. However, I went to Ulta and needed a new foundation so I thought I would splurge on a more expensive item. The one I bought appealed to me because it is a 3-in-1 product with serum, primer, and foundation and it saves steps for me when I am running late to class but still want to look good with some makeup on. I purchased the ck One Color 3-in-1 face makeup with SPF 8 sunscreen. It was $30 and you can get it at Ulta, and probably some department stores.

Next is a blush that I purchased off of the internet after I read how great it was and how similar it was to the NARS blushes. I got it from e.l.f. or eyeslipsface. The first thing I'd like to say about e.l.f. is how cheap it is! I got a whole bag of makeup for about $30, and I like almost all of it. The blush I got was Candid Coral #83133 for $3! Compared to NARS at $29 a pop, that is an excellent deal! In the photo it looks more brown than coral, but it isn't. If you'd like to see it for yourself click here and click the 3rd one over.

Last but definitely not least is a lipstick. I've always been a girl who doesn't wear much lip color, just some lip balm or a light lipgloss and I'm done. Whenever I have tried lipsticks I've always either looked too fancy, or like a clown, so I decided to go for a more classic color. When I was at Nordstrom a while ago I stopped by the Bobbi Brown counter to look at their lipsticks because I have liked Bobbi Brown products for a very long time. While I was there I picked up a lipstick that I thought I could wear a lot, and I wasn't wrong. The one I purchased was the Creamy Lip Color in Hibiscus #56, for $24 and their website describes it as a bright candy pink, I would say it has kind of a coral-y tint to it as well. I really love this color, and look at the photo! Not too bad for not having a nice camera, eh?

Alright, well if you even made it this far, I applaud you. I hope you liked this post, let me know if there's any types of posts you'd like to see me do, let me know in the comments. 

Keep on keeping on,

Alex :)
