Monday FUNday

Happy Monday all! I did quite a bit of cleaning, purging, and rearranging this weekend! As I will be moving in about 2 months, I'm tryin to get rid of all the clothes/beauty products/random things that are just taking up space. I really don't want my new place to be full of clutter. Plus, packing unused things is pointless!

 That being said, I was really given the chance to asses what clothes and beauty products I do have and what I need to buy. For example, I have a million and one eyeshadow palates that I never use! But I can't seem to find my eyelash curler? Over the next few weeks I'm going to try and stock up on practical, everyday items for my beauty routine. In general, I Pretty happy with my makeup routine, but I want to add a few things that I think will really enhance my everyday look!

 1. Eye lash curler. Who doesn't love thick, voluminous lashes? Gorgeous lashes are my favorite part of my look, therefore I need to invest in a GOOD eyelash curler! I've done a bit of research and here are the top ones I'm considering: Shu Uemura, Sephora Mini Heated Eyelash Curler, Laura Mercier Eye Lash Curler

 2. Brow Powder. I've tried an eyebrow pencil before but the look was way too dramatic for me. I do think that my brows need to be filled in, especially with my darker hair. I've heard good things about Anastasia Brow Powder and Smashbox Brow Tech. I've been very pleased in the past with LORAC products, so I'm also curious about LORAC Take A Brow.

3. Eye brightener. I typically wear a light eyeshadow, liner, and mascara- I'm not one who uses a lot of eye shadow on a regular basis. I think that an eye brighter would really help enhance my natural makeup.

4. Conclear & Powder. Back in the day, when my acne was really bad, I used these two products like crazy! As my skin got better, I started to shy away from everyday use. For the past 3-4 years, I only use a bronzer and blush. For the most part, my skin has a very even complexion, minus a few spots buttt I think it's time for me start covering up my small imperfections. I also used my sisters conclear and MAC powder this weekend and LOVED the results. I honestly have no idea on where to start with brands, please give me some advice!

I'm going to keep this list on hand so when I have a moment to do some shopping,  I can pick these items up and start "enhancing" my everyday look! I recently got Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser and am SO excited to give it a try! I've heard so many great things about it- I'll report back!


And because a post without pictures is so blah, I'll leave you with a few pics from the past week!




Thanks for reading! Happy Monday!
