My First Tag


This looked fun to do so I decided to do it. 
Here goes my first tag.
Hope you enjoy :)!


1. Do you remember your first make up item?
Not at all, that goes way back! But I am pretty sure it was mascara.

2. What kind of coverage do you prefer for your foundation?
It really depends but I will usually go for a light to medium coverage just to cover the redness of my face and make my skin tone look more even. I also like more of a natural looking coverage which I feel like I won't get from a high coverage foundation. Which usually makes me look really cakey and dry!

3. Favourite high end brand?
I would have to say Urban Decay and MAC cosmetics but I am also a huge fan of Kat Von D's makeup line!

4. Favourite drugstore/highstreet brand?
Maybelline, Covergirl, Revlon, Wet N' Wild, NYX, Rimmel

5. What cosmetics brands have you always wanted to try but still haven't?
Chanel and Dior! 

6. Do you wear fake eyelashes?
Never, I usually just apply lots of mascara and curl my eyelashes. I have naturally long eyelashes.

7. Is there any kind of make up you can't leave the house without?
Concealer because I have the worst under eye circles. Mascara and also powder to even out my skin tone.

8. What is your most cherished beauty product?
Sadly, I don't have a MAC store or a Sephora where I live. So, i only own a few products. But I would have to say my Kat Von D Lady Bird Pallete and my Naked 2 one.

9. How often do you shop for make up? Do you pick out a lot of products at once?
YES! it is an addiction! 

10. Do you have a 'beauty budget'?
No. But I always shop for some anyway.

11. What type of product do you buy the most?
Lately, skincare products. But i have an obsession with trying out new foundations, mascaras and lipsticks.

12. Do you have a favourite place to shop for make up?
Sephora, MAC, Walmart

13. If you could only buy from one brand, which brand would you choose?
That's a hard one. Probably MAC... 

14. Which brand has the best packaging?
Definitely the Kat Von D makeup line at Sephora! Roses on everything, my favorite flower <3

15. Which celebrity always has great make up?
Lucy Hale

16. Which do you apply first, concealer or foundation?
Foundation.

17. Do you like multifunctional products like lip and cheek stains?
Yes I do, like benetint!

18. Do you apply your foundation with a brush, sponge or fingers?
Not always the same. I like using all of them. It depends on how much time I have and what coverage I'm looking for.

19. Which foundation do you use the most?
I don't really own a favorite so far.I'm always switching depending on what coverage I want on that day.

20. Do you use a make up base or primer for the eyes? 
Yes -Always. Urban Decay Eyeshadow primer Potion... If I run out of this I won't even put eyeshadow on until I buy a new one. This thing is like glue :)

I'm tagging everyone!


Aveeno Clear Complexion BB Cream


First of all, I was really impressed by all the negative reviews on this product. I am not a huge fan of BB creams because I personally feel like they don't cover anything at all and doesn't even have light coverage. So, I didn't really have high hopes for this product. I wasn't at all disappointed! Why? This one actually has coverage and a beautiful natural looking finish.

A lot of people had complain that this was too orange and oily. But this blends super well with my VERY pale skin. At first, it does look oily because it is a cream... but once it does set and you apply a powder on top the finish of it is absolutely beautiful! It also has light shimmer which i usually hate in face products but I feel like it made my face look very natural and glowing! I've had compliments wearing this BB cream and it does not make your face cakey at all! When I am in a rush for school when I have to get up early in the morning this is the one I will reach for because it blends super well and it is also very buildable! 

Also, the smell of this product is amazing! The only down side of this product is the price which I got for $19.97 at Walmart. Personally, I feel like that is expensive for a Drugstore product but it is very worth the price in my opinion.

My Top 5 "Pink" Lipsticks



This is a list of my top 5 pink lipsticks. Those are the ones I will usually go for when I feel like having pink lipstick!

1.L'Oreal Colour Riche in "Saucy Mauve"
This one is a pinky-mauve color but it isn't too purple.
I love the creamy texture it gives and how hydrating it feels. It is the perfect everyday color!

2. Maybelline Color Sensational in 135 "Make me pink" 
This lipstick has a good color pay off and glides on smoothly. I love the finish of this lipstick and it feels quite moisturizing.

3. Rimmel Lasting Finish in 070 "Airy Fairy"
This is a lipstick i have bought a long time ago and I've always love it. This does go along pretty well with my pale skin tone. It is just the perfect baby pink color infused with golden shimmer.

4. Rimmel Lasting Finish in 050 "Paradise"
This is more on the dark pink side with brown undertones and beautiful shimmer. This lipstick is the one i caryy in my purse most of the time cause it is a perfect everyday color. i have very pale skin and this lipstick doesn't make me look paler.

5. MAC in "Snob"
This matte lipstick has a beautiful matte finish. But, it does look dry. I will usually put Lip balm on before applying this one or even top it off with a lip gloss. It is still a lovely pink color and i absolutely love it!

My Top 5 "Nude" Lipsticks


This is a list of my top 5 "Go to" nude lipsticks. These are usually the nude lipsticks I throw in my purse!

1.Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss in #14
This lipstick isn't drying at all, it has a creamy texture. It's a really beautiful nude that doesn't look like you have concealer lips!

2.MAC lipstick in ''Hue''
This is a light baby pink that almost pulls nude it is also a Glaze finish so it glides on really easily and feels really soft on the lips. This lipstick doesn't last a long time but i still love it afterall.

3.Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss in 08
This lipstick has a creamy finish but after awhile looks more on the matte side, it doesn't make my lips feel dry at all. Really pretty everyday nude pink color.

4.Rimmel Lasting Finish in ''Asia" 077
This is a pinky-brown color, it is very creamy and glides on perfectly. This color is great for all skin tones it also last for quite a while!

5.L'Oreal Color Riche in "Fairest Nude''
This is probably one of the first nude i've ever bought and i absolutely love it! It is just the most perfect pink nude color.It's also very hydrating!
  The only downside is the smell of it but it isn't that bad at all.


Everlasting Blush In ''Por Vida'' - Kat Von D




This is hands down one of my favorite blush. I'm a huge fan of Kat Von D's makeup brand, also the beautiful roses packaging on everything. This blush in ''Por Vida'' is the perfect pink with the perfect amount of shimmer, which gives a natural glowing effect. I feel like this is a great blush for my very pale skin, it also has very rich pigment! A little goes a long way. I will for sure, try more colors of these Kat Von D's Everlasting blushes!
