The bags under my eyes aren't Prada no more.





Lets be honest, we've all probably had that moment when we realize that our drugstore favorites just don't work like the real deal stuff does. I have officially retired my Hard Candy concealers for this shiny new glory.

I love NARS, I think I can say it's my favorite makeup brand & I held off buying this even though all the blogger & vlogger reviews were great because I just couldn't justify the price. Which kinda doesn't make sense because I have no problem buying a NARS blush...The point is, I finally gave in and purchased the Creamy Radiant Concealer in the color Ginger/Medium 2.

I've only used this a couple time but I can already tell you that I love it. It doesn't crease and it doesn't look heavy on the skin. I think the translucent powder from NARS would pair nicely with this. Maybe that will be my next splurge after I finish my Bare Minerals translucent powder.

Brushes Galore


These are my everyday makeup brushes. Looking at it now, it seams like a lot of brushes to use but if I decided not to do an eye look I usually just sweep my blush brush across my lids. It took me a long time to discover and narrow which brush size worked for my face and the products I was using. I think that's a mistake a lot of people can make when starting or developing an interest in makeup. I don't use a blush brush for blush all the time, and I don't like flat foundation brushes for my face. You are allowed to break the rules and not only experiment with types of makeup, but brushes too. 


Here are the brushes I use with the products that I would normally use with them listed bellow.
