Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, full of many blessings!
(I know that I did!)

Today I was sporting a VERY simple look, pretty much every girl's basics.
A good eyeliner, mascara, my favorite BB Cream, and a natural pink Mary Kay lip gloss.

This is my everyday, 10 minute makeup routine.

First, I moisturize. Moisturizing your face is SO important, before you put on any makeup!

I have really sensitive skin, so I use an oil-free, fragrance free, hypoallergenic, sensitive skin moisturizing lotion. The one that I currently have is by Studio 35 Beauty, but Neutrogena and many other companies make pretty much the exact same lotion. Remember, a little goes a long way!

The face cream that I used is Revlon PhotoReady BB Cream Skin Perfector. For my skin tone, I use 020 Light Medium. This is the ultimate face cream and perfect for when you are in some what of a rush. It is a moisturizer, primer, foundation, concealer, and sunscreen all in one! I bought this one at Walmart and have had it for about 6 months now. It is not even half way gone!

For mascara, I went with my favorite, Bare Minerals Lash Domination. My aunt calls this the "bumblebee" because the wand it so big! It is wonderful for volume and length, and does NOT clump! What else could you ask for in a mascara, right?

As for eyeliner, I went with a basic black, which sometimes can look harsh on your eyes, but I find that it really brings out my baby blues! Physician's Formula makes this eyeliner. (Which, by the way, is a wonderful brand for anyone with sensitive skin.) This is the black, but it came in a trio with a blue and brown pencil. This has "shimmer strips" in it and is made specifically for blue eyes. They make trios for other eye colors as well. :)

A little bit of bronzer, Rimmel London 002 Sun Bronze, just on the apples of my cheeks, and I was almost done!

Last, but not least, LIP GLOSS!
My trusty, Mary Kay Pink Luster. This color is perfect! Natural pink with a little bit of shimmer! muah!!!

I just wanted to say thank you to all that have checked out my page so far and all that will!

I love you all already :)

Reliq Minerals

So I have been looking around for some new makeup products to use on here. I've been a bit hung up on Etsy shops. I love the idea of home made, natural products.

The best part?
Many of these online shops will sell sample sizes.

So naturally, i bought a few.
Reliq Minerals has caught my eye.. so I ordered some samples from her.

I am going to post what I ordered, but since I ordered them tonight, I don't have them yet. I will definitely post some tutorials and reviews once they come in!


Mineral Eye Shadow Samples

With the deals that she has, I could NOT resist.
For $6 you get 5 samples.
Each sample is 1/8 of a teaspoon, which doesn't sound like much, but should actually last pretty long.

Mineral Blush Samples

Another steal!!

For $5 you get 4 samples!

These samples are a whole teaspoon, even better :)

Silk Primer- Loose Mineral Face Primer Sample

This comes in one color, since it is a primer, but it looks wonderful!

And it was only $2.50!

Foundation Mineral Makeup Sample

There are seventeen colors to choose from for the foundation, so you can find the perfect shade for you!

I chose Creamy Beige, especially since it is winter and I'm not so tan anymore!

Only $2 for this lovely product. 

Reliq Minerals is $2 for shipping, but no matter how many you order, it is still only $2!!!

Check her out, and I will let you know how wonderful they are!
