BEST drugstore eyeliner: only $2.50!!!

Hey everyone! 
Ever since I have discovered this hidden gem at the drugstore, I use it every single day! Jordana's 12 HR Made to Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencil is definitely a long wearing, water resistant, smooth, and intensely pigmented liner. It glides on smoothly and dries to a resistant finish that won't budge. The liners come in various colors, including green and purple. The best past is that these babies are only $2.50!! These are a definite must in your makeup collection. 


Note: green and purple do have some shimmer to them, the black and brown are matte. 

Thanks for reading! :D

Favorite face makeup brushes!

Hey everyone!
I'd thought I'd share my favorite drugstore alternative makeup brushes for the face. I can't say enough good things about these brushes, I'm constantly using them and their quality is extremely good and price even better! The cost of these brushes range from $3 to $10 and can be found at ulta, target, and now even Walmart. 


Left to right: 
1) real technique blush brush: applies product smoothly and is very versatile. Can be used to put on bronzer and I even use it to blend out harsh blush and contour lines. 
2) real technique powder brush: this is a holy grail! Use it for powder and to blend everything out for a flawless finish. Helps eliminate cakey makeup! 
3) elf small stipple brush: love this brush for blending out concealer and highlighter! And it's only $3! 
4) ecotools custom coverage buffing brush: really helps to buff in that foundation into the skin for a flawless complexion. Also used to blend out harsh lines. Favorite brush to apply foundation with.

The perfect nudes: L'oreal Privee

Hey everyone! 
Today's review is going to be over two lipsticks I have been obsessing over recently. I'm talking about the new Loreal Privee lipsticks. First off the packaging is to die for, it's sleek and is just perfection. Colors range from pinks to nudes to dark neutrals. The two I loved the most were Jennifer's Nude and Eva's nude. These colors are just the perfect nude shade. It's that classic "your lips but better" color. I find it super appropriate for the corporate working individual or a person who has an interview. It also fits in with that effortless makeup for summer time. The formula is extremely smooth, it doesn't dry out my lips, and actually lingers on for a while. The downside is I'm not sure that these lipsticks are permanent so if you fall in love with them like I have.. They better never run out!
