Mix It Up // My New Foundation


Hey guys! So today I have a post on my new face product... that I created! While applying my makeup the other day, I realized that my foundation was too light and my bb cream was too dark. So, I mixed them together on the back of my hand and applied it to find that it had the perfect texture and moisture AND was the perfect color! I rooted through my drawers and found this little container that I bought a while ago for depotting my NYX shadow stick (which was a disaster) and mixed the two together inside to make my perfect foundation. I absolutely love it! It has light coverage (just what I need) good moisture, not too thick, and looks natural! I'm thinking about mixing a primer in to make it an all-in-one kind of thing, but I'm not sure yet. 
So if you find yourself in the situation where you don't have the right color foundation, try mixing some. You never know what you might discover ;)

elf Conditioning Lip Balm SPF 15


Hey guys! So today I have a post about this elf conditioning lip balm in Romantic Rouge, a pretty red color. It comes in a pot (with bulky packaging :P) and I use a lip brush to apply it. It's actually pretty pigmented and smells and tastes AMAZING! I practically lick it off my lips as soon as I put it on... hahah! This costs $3 and you can find it at eyeslipsface.com or target. I think it's worth looking into, if you're into yummy smelling and tasting lip products, and it comes in a few different shades. I believe this one is the darkest, though.

Tarte Splendor


Hey guys! So today I'll be reviewing the Tarte Splendor blush. I got this in my Sephora In The Glow Kit that my friend Savannah gave me for Christmas. I'm not really a blush person, so I don't have much to compare this to, but it is really pretty!

It's a shimmery light pink that's perfectly pigmented so that you don't look like a clown. I love the packaging and the imprint of the blush, I really think it adds to the beauty. This is an amazonian clay blush so it's actually good for your skin, and it does last its claims of 12 hours. If you're willing to shell out the money, this is a gorgeous blush! However, I have naturally red cheeks, and I don't like to wear blush often. I've only tried a select few Tarte products, but for the most part I've liked them!


By the way, I started a new channel with my friend Savannah, savjenbeauty
if you want to check that out, I'd appreciate it! I'm starting to really love making videos, but don't worry, I won't abandon my blog! Thanks for reading :)
