Regardless, I found some really bomb products I could't get enough of!  So, if you're interested in learning all about my October favorites, then just keep reading! Smashbox Step by Step Contour Palette (Medium/Dark) : I love this little trio!! The powders are very smooth and pigmented, but still easy to blend out and work with!

I'll either wear this alone of natural skin days on the high points of the face or mixed with my foundation , and it's a pretty soft bronze sheen!! NYX Angel Veil Primer : w...

Too Faced Hangover Good to Go Skin Protecting SPF 25 Moisturizer : I adore this moisturizer!! Sometimes, I'll use this as a priming moisturizer and go right into my makeup and I love how healthy my skin looks after!! It has also inspired me to bust back out the Hangover primer since it'll soon be cooling down. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Lotion SPF 30 : another non irritating sunscreen without breaking the bank! It wears great  under makeup since there's zero white residue! Wet N Wild Photofocus Rose Toner : super convenient with it being in a spray bottle...

MAKEUP Collab Set the Stage Soft Focus Finishing Powder : Quite a few Youtubers I watch speak so highly of this powder (with the black top), but everytime I got in Sally's , the shades I need are always out of stock.

RK by Kiss HD Set n' Forget Loose Powder---"Rich" : I've had this for a hot minute to actually set my concealer, but it's a bit too deep for that. But for all over my face??? It ...

Hello, beauties! Welcome back & if you're new here, welcome! March has once again come and gone! March is one of my favorite months (aside from being my birthday month) , because it's the beginning of warmer weather!

Hola, beautiful ones!! Welcome back & if you're new here  to my blog, welcome! Today, we're talking all about a brand that I feel doesn't get as much recognition as it should: Coastal Scents! Coastal Scents has some amazing products for such inexpensive prices!! But the thing I feel they are most known for are their Hot Pots, which is their single shadows. Each Hot Pot regularly costs  $3 and there's over 300 shades to choose from! Whether matte or shimmer, bold or neutral, warm or cool toned, everyone will find something that they love. I've acquired a good amount over the past couple years, and some have definitely stood out to me! So, if you're interested in finding out my top 12 Hot Pots, then just keep on  reading! 1) Oktoberfest [a warm matte brown-orange that nicely helps other  colors to blend together more seamlessly! This is one of their most popular colors. Everytime I would go on the site, this shade would always be sold out] 2) Paprika [ a ...
