Have it all!

Always feel like you are on the run? The world seems to be spinning a little too fast? We are right there with you! There seriously aren't enough hours in the day. But you still want to look your best. Girl, you can have it all. We have a few beauty products that are made to save you time! You can thank us later.


Did you have a late night? Now it's the next morning and you are a mess. No shame. Everyone has those days. Now, give you face a quick wash and give this product a go. It's the Garnier BB eye roller. Two words. Miracle worker. Seriously!! Just swipe this product under your eyes and say goodbye to those dark circles. And the puffiness? Gone. And you are concealed and just about ready to go.


Now it's time to get out the door. You're grabbing anything that will constitute a breakfast and making your way out the door. You get in the car and speed off to your next destination. But when you get there, you make the mistake of looking into the mirror. Whoops! Some color on your lips and a little eyeliner would go a long way... Lucky for you! Avon has this amazing eyeliner and lip gloss duo pen. Perfect for times like this! Line those eyes and pucker up. Looking good, lady!


Believe it or not. You're a little early. Time to add one one special touch. With all that rushing around, you're looking a little pale. If you were smart, you threw your Nars multiple stick in your bag. This product is amazing. Add some color to your cheeks, lips or even your eyelids. Seriously. It's a holy grail product.

Alrighty... We think we're done here. We hope you'll give these products a try sometime. They just might save your life. Or at least your time!

Everything in place

Finally, it's summertime! And clearly things are getting warmer... well, hot!  And quickly too. Time for a makeup routine change. As you may know, this heat and humidity doesn't pair well with foundation and mascara. Don't fret! We have a few products that are sure to withstand the heat.

No matter what, you need to start with a primer! It's smooths your pores and preps your face for concealer and foundation. It really makes a difference! Smashbox has a really great primer. It really smooths you face and fills in small lines. And this primer has SPF 20! The more protection for your face, the better! With a primer, the foundation will adhere better to your face preventing it from melting off.

Eyeliner is really tricky in the summer, especially late summer when the heat is less bearable. It's sweats off or leaves your eyelids grey or sticky. It's really a struggle. Luckily, MAC has a liquid eyeliner that's both water based and water resistant. It's really going to stand the test! And the felt tip applicator makes for really easy application. This eyeliner is a must have!

Your lipstick or lip gloss is also something that's very vulnerable is the summer time. It's smears easier and can melt everywhere. The Kat Von D line at Sephora. The formulas are wonderful and long lasting. And the liquid lipstick is no exception! We love this creamy, luscious lipstick. The color is beautiful and vivid. And the color really lock in on your lips. It will survive even on the hottest summer day.

It's not a lost cause! You can still have a flawless face in the heat of the summer. Stay cool!

Are you blushing?

You know what goes great with that summer tan? A bit of blush! That pinky, healthy look is beautiful for summertime. It really completes that sunkissed look. Here are a few of our favorite blushes.

We "heart" this blush from Too Faced! This lovely trio of blushes is perfect for fair skin. Simply sweep your blush brush over all three colors. The formula is so creamy and pigmented. It gives a beautiful pinky, shimmery look.

Smashbox is a really great brand. Their colors and formula is just fantastic! And we we're so excited to see one of their blushes on the list. The love me blush is really wonderful. This darker pink color is great for darker skin or a more dramatic look.

A cream blush is another great way to wear blush. It looks less dry and is super blendable. They add a real freshness to your skin. They are a bit daunting at first but give it a try! We love the Bobbi Brown cheek tint. The color is so rich and vivid. It's a great way to take on a bold cheek look.

We encourage you to embrace blush this summer and even fall! Don't be scared! Invest is a good quality blush brush. You'll be glad you did! Use a light hand. Just a little will go a long way! Apply from the apple of cheek, blending the blush along your cheekbone. And play with the placement on the color based on your face shape. Be a blush goddess!

As we transition into warmer temperatures, our beauty habits and trends tend to change. For both spring and summer, we're thinking lighter, natural makeup. We want to be able to spend all day outside without having constant makeup touch ups. Do you crave this fun, carefree look as much as we do? Don't you worry. We have a few tips for simple, warm weather beauty.

We have been watching a recent beauty trend become extremely popular: BB creams. This product was only sold in East and Southeast Asia until a few years ago. Basically, it an all in one face product. It moisturizes, primes and covers your imperfections. And, most formulas contain SPF. Which is great for summertime. It's a quick way to get great, lightweight coverage and protection for the sun's harmful rays. Overall, it's supposed to improve the quality of your skin.

We love the Origins BB Cream with white tea. It's a great, all-natural formula. And it supposed to help prevent aging which is important when you're spending long days out in the sun. 

If you are looking for a great drugstore alternative, Loreal's Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream also has a great formula. It "primes, perfects, hydrates and protects". And we can say, it does all four things! It's a really great product. Just set with some powder and you're ready to walk out the door! 



It's all about simplcity! Try to go minimal and sport that natural beauty! Warm weather is no brainer! You got this.

Spring drugstore makeup!

Let's face it. Drugstore makeup is incredibly addicting! Who really can resist it? It's affordable and the brand are releasing some really great products. You can't go wrong! But it can be difficult to decide what to buy with all that selection. Well, we've done a bit of research and buying ourselves. Here's our spring guide to drugstore makeup!

It's finally time to switch from dark, vampy lip colors to vibrant pinks! We're pretty excited to make the transition. But before you pucker and up apply, it's important to give those lips some hydration! Cosmopolitan just shared their favorite cheap yet chic makeup products. The first thing on their list was the new Nivea kiss lip balm. These are excellent! The come in several flavors like caramel and raspberry. And for 4 dollars each? That's a drugstore steal!

Now onto color! Elle also shared their favorite drugstore makeup. They mentioned L'Oreal Colour Riche Le Balm. We love this lip color! There is a wide variety of colors to choose from. And the formula is wonderful. They are so creamy and have excellent color pay off. They certainly won't dry our your lips in the summer sun. 

Bright colors aren't just for you lips! They are for your eyes too! NYX has some beautiful, bright shadows. Cosmo focused some of their neon colors. We think these colors are really going to make your eyes pop this spring and summer! 

And we can't forget about bronzer and blush. We all want to look tan and shimmery when it's warm outside. We love the Physician Formula's shimmer stick custom highlighter and blush. Aren't those colors just beautiful? And how perfect would this be for traveling? There's no need to bring multiple blushes, highlighters and bronzers. You have it all here it one convenient palette! 

We want to hear from you! What drugstore products are you loving right now? What should we try next?
