Empties #1 | Products I’ve Used Up♥

Leave a comment

Being a makeup junkie can be a great thing but also a bad thing. Without realizing it, I was accumulating so many products that were completely finished and ready to be thrown out and I had no idea until I decided to clean out my vanity! When I saw how many products I had used up I just had to set them aside to film a video.

There are many times where bloggers and YouTubers show us hauls on products they recently purchased but then we never find out whether they liked the products or not. Most of the time we only hear about the great products because we include them in our monthly favorites. That is why I thought this would be the perfect video to tell you guys exactly how I felt about each product. I usually try to use up all of my products even if I’m not a huge fan just because I really don’t like spending money on them and then not using it. I mean who likes to throw money away? not me.

I hope you guys enjoy this type of video and if you do please like, comment, subscribe, and of course share with your friends 🙂

Hey Loves!

My foundation routine is something that has been asked about continuously even before I had a youtube channel or a blog. Now it is asked about even more because my friends and family know I am constantly trying out new foundations and products.

For a while I was set on the Revlon Colorstay Foundation and was loving every single bit of it! It was for sure my holy grail foundation, especially during the hot summer days! Once the summer was over, my skin did a major 180 change and went from being super oily to super dry. I still get oily from time to time on my T-Zone but for the most part if I don’t moisturize you will deff. know! Since my skin had changed so drastically the foundations that I was using were not working well. They looked extremely matte and cakey. No one likes cake face so something had to change.

I ended up picking up the Neutrogena Healthy Skin and for a while that was working perfectly! I was using this everyday in combination with my Bare Minerals Matte Foundation and it was the perfect combo.

Once I began interning for Sonia Kashuk I was able to try a few of her products. One of those products was her Perfecting Luminous Foundation. Let me tell you… This has legitimately been my obsession ever since! It leaves my skin glowing! It’s the perfect amount of coverage, full coverage of course, but my skin still peeks through for a sort of natural finish. I honestly have been recommending this foundation to every one I know because I cannot get enough of it!

I decided to film my Foundation Routine so you guys are able to see how the foundation applies and also so you can all see how I contour and highlight as well. I get a ton of questions always asking me what products I use for my face, not including eyeshadows and lipsticks.

So alas, here is my foundation routine! I hope you guys enjoy it & if you find this helpful please like, comment, subscribe to my channel, and of course share with your friends! love you ♥
