2015 Favorites: Part 1! Makeup & Beauty Tools!!

2015 Favorites by macy-dofash featuring an urban decay eye shadow

Foundation:

I actually have a few favorites in this category because I wear a few different products regularly depending on what activities I'm doing.

• Loreal Infallible Pro-Matte- When I'm feeling more glam or just putting more effort into my makeup, I reach for this foundation. It has really nice coverage & I don't have to wear a face powder with it. Its a great foundation!

• Revlon Photoready Insta-Fix Stick Foundation- I wear this foundation to work. It is so easy to apply in a hurry. I wear this when I need to look presentable but don't feel like getting out a damp beauty blender or brushes. You can blend this easily and quickly with your fingertips and your good to go! I highly recommend this to anyone who is always running late or on the go!

• Laura Mercier Powder Foundation- This is another favorite of mine because its another quick option that I find myself reaching for very often. I just apply my concealer first then put a thin layer of this powder foundation all over and it gives you a very natural finish. 

BB Cream:

• Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue BB Cream- This stuff is amazing! Not only is it a great makeup product, but It also is a great skincare product! 

Concealer:

• Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer- Very affordable, great coverage!

Powder:

• Rimmel Stay Matte Transluscent Pressed Powder! This is a GREAT product! Its been a favorite of mine forever! Its also very affordable!

Bronzer:

• NYC Sunny Bronzer- sadly I think it has been discontinued :(

Blush: 

• Laura Geller True Color Baked Blush in Bali

Lip Product:

• Malin & Goetz Lip Balm- This literally cured my lips when they were so dry to the point of cracking and bleeding at the corners. I had tried burts bees, blistex, & numerous others, & this lip balm completely cured my lips!
• Sephora Cream Stains
• NYX Butter Lip Sticks

Eyeshadow/Eyeshadow Palette:

• Urban Decay Naked Palette- IDK why I didn't purchase this sooner, but I reach for it almost every time I apply eye shadow. Its a great palette! 

Eyeliner:

• Kat Von D Tattoo Eye Liner- It is precise, doesn't smudge, & doesn't irritate my eyes! Its the only eyeliner I can wear to work that wont be all under my eyes by the end of the day. You get what you pay for with this product!

Mascara:

• Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara! Doesn't smudge & doesn't irritate my eyes at all! It also make my eyelashes look amazing!!!!

Eyelash Curler:

• NYC Eyelash Curler- Its been a favorite for a few years & Its less than $5!

Eye Primer

• MICA eye primer- I got this in my Ipsy bag & I have used it every time I wear eye shadow! I prefer it over the UD Primer Potion. Unlike the UD primer, it doesn't dry my eyelids out. When I run out I will be repurchasing for sure!

Get Ready With Me: School + Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation Demo

Hi! 

I made another Youtube video! My second one to be exact lol 

Its just a Get Ready With Me video. I filmed it before going to school one day. In my last video I didn't actually speak but, in this one I did. I was kind of nervous about uploading it because I really don't like my voice. But, I feel like everyone hates their own voice to some extent lol (thats how I make myself feel better)

Its a neutral smokey eye with winged eyeliner and a bright pink lip. I really liked how this turned out. Its a good everyday look. It can be casual or fancy, in my opinion. 

Here  some photos of the finished makeup & If you want to see how I achieved this makeup, feel free to watch the video. I had a lot of fun making it, so I hope yall like it! :)

Also, in the video, I use the Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation which I did a full first impression of here. :)

If you love summer, this post is for you! Summer is my favorite time of the year & its just around the corner! This post is a compilation of some of my favorite summer related things to get you pumped for summer! 
Enjoy! :)

MOVIES & TV!

• Aquamarine- This is one of my favorite movies. I've probably seen it a gazillion times since i was a kid. Its a really fun girly movie! Its about a mermaid who leaves the ocean looking for love to prove to her father that love exists. 

• Sisterhood of the traveling pants 1&2-  I watch these, especially part 2, if I'm craving a movie that involves traveling to beautiful places. These movies make me want to travel to Greece every time I watch them.  

• Soul Surfer- This is a very inspirational story about Bethany Hamilton who lost her arm in a shark attack. This is a very uplifting and motivational movie. It will leave you in a good mood.

• H20 - This is one of my favorite TV shows! I grew up watching this show. If you love mermaids like I do, you will love it! Also, it is surprisingly not cheesy! lol

Moment!

• The most exciting thing for me this year was getting to see All Time Low for the first time ever in concert! This was honestly a dream come true because I have been a huge fan of their music since I was twelve. I am twenty now, so obviously that's a huge deal for me! To top it off I managed to worm my way up to the front of the crowd and get an awesome view. It was sweaty, claustrophobic, and very nerve racking, but it was worth every second! It was probably the best concert I've ever been to! Also afterwards Jack Barakat came out and met the fans and I got my picture made with him. It was such a fun experience and a dream come true! My twelve year old self would be so proud.

Goals For 2014

• Decide on a major and make good grades
• Try to adapt more healthy habits
• Do something different with my hair. I've never dyed it and I'm thinking about trying out some highlights. 
• Get up earlier. I'm not a morning person but I'd really like to become one. People who get up earlier seem like they get more done and are just happier and healthier overall. 
• Build up my strength and flexibility so that I can do some of the pretzal-y yoga poses. Right now I'm just getting into the intermediate level on my Yoga Studio App. 
• Read lots of books!
