I used to play with my makeup all the time. I truly loved it, and for awhile even considered becoming a makeup artist. I love playing with colors and trying new products, but have been stuck in the same rut for the last year… even two! I think it is not wanting to spend money on products (other than lipsticks…I will always splurge on lipsticks ;)). Plus, you can do your makeup much faster when you are doing the exact same thing every day.
Anyway! I had my makeup done for a wedding I was in in the first week of June and the makeup artist re-sparked my interest! She asked me if I prefered cooler or warmer eyeshadows and I said cooler (what I’ve always prefered). She kindly recommended that I re-think my ways, pointing out that my skin tone would be more flattered with warm. Let me tell you what, I was mind blown! Truthfully, I don’t know that I’ve ever even tried warm toned shadows, but I could see the difference and it’s since changed everything!!
I have been long overdue to replace a few products so I wandered into Ulta on my way to Dan’s house the other night and accidentally stayed until he called me to ask if I was still alive! Ha! This season of life is crazy busy and I often find myself wondering where all the time to read books, take baths, and work out went. But this month I’ve been reminded that it doesn’t take much. It can just be a few new products and trying to mix up my usual routine! I still only spend about 10 minutes on it, but I’ve been loving this snippet of time each morning. It perks me up every morning and puts me in a good mood!
Here are the things I am loving
Makeup Revolution Glow Drops
These are magical and a recommendation by Kayti. You add a small to medium (or large if you feeling fly) drop to your moisturizer or foundation and it gives you an all over glow like a snapchat filter! Actually though, I’m obsessed with these!
Morphe Palette
This was the makeup palette I went with to introduce some warm shadows into my collection! When I got it it was on sale for $15 so it was basically risk free. Well, best purchase ever!!! These shadows are so creamy and pigmented. They last all day without any fallout and I’m head over heels in love. This is my first time trying Morphe and I’m hooked! I’ve been challenging myself to use different colors each day.
