I add either one of these mascaras that give me VOLUME. Daytime (I add one coat) Nighttime (I add two or three.) My absolute favorite lipliners are MAC cosmetics.

Best Buy’s 2016 Makeup
I wanted to share with you some of my favorite beauty buys from 2016! This Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow Kit is amazing... I bought this shadow pack during the Nordstrom Anniversary SALE. The colors are super pigmented and last all day. Keep your eyes open during the SALES, I will remind you when they happen. Neu Lash is a lash enhancing serum you put on your eye lashes to help them grow naturally. My eye lashes REALLY needed it this year, I really thought about putting eye lash extensions on but I chickened out and decided this was a better option for me. The Double Extend Mascara by L'Oreal is great because it has a lash conditioner on … [Read more...]

Makeup Passion
SHOP THE POST: I think it would be OK to say, my sweet daughter is OBSESSED with makeup! She does work and this is pretty much what she spends her money on... Tarte is her favorite brand of makeup (right now) She is such an amazing makeup artist- I took these photos the other day while I was in her bedroom and I couldn't believe my eyes. Seriously, she had her Dad install more shelving for her the other day to house extra makeup! I'd say MAC shadows are another favorite- Ellie and I both like their color palettes and with the larger palettes you can play around and mix colors together. I use their under eye primer as well … [Read more...]
