START A NIGHTLY ROUTINE : leaving dirt, excess oil, and makeup on overnight can enlarge pores and futher irritate dry skin. make sure you wash your face at night and remove all traces of makeup to prevent breakouts! no matter how tierd you are its extremely important to wash off makeup before going to bed every night!

CLEAN A WET FACE : use cleanser on damp skin. if you apply your cleanser on dry skin it is more like to be irritating and cause redness.

CLEANSE FOR 60 SECONDS : massage face wash on your skin for about a minute to break down dirt and makeup before rinsing off. Its important to wipe away pollutants, dirt, bacteria, and product residue, which can cause dullness and clogged pores.

GET A FIRM MAKEUP BASE : splash your face with cold water before applying makeup, the coolness helps temporarily shrink pores. Its a trick movie stars used in the 30's to tighten skin and help makeup glide on seamlessly.

SET MOISTURIZER FOR 3 MINUTES : giving your lotion time to comepletely absorb before applying makeup will help your foundation, blush, and shadow last all day.

top 10 drugstore picks

BannerFans.com
theese are my top ten drugstore picks! everything is under $10


1-moisturize : my favorite drugstore moisturizer is the one ive been using faithfully, cetaphil moisturizing cream. My skin is like the most sensitive skin in the world and i can never find a moisturizer that is gentle yet effective! Since ive been using this my skin is never dry, i also use it before i put on my makeup and my skin never looks faky under it.
2-get a glow : my favorite sunless tanner is neutrogena sun fresh sunless lotion. It always looks really natral & gives me a fresh glow (: i put it on my face and it never makes me break out or look orangey
3-get long flirty lashes : lash blast luxe has become my new best friend (: hehe welll id have to say this is the least clumpy mascara ive ever used it pumps up my lashes without them looking all stuck together and it has little flecks of shimmer in it. I can put on as many coats of this as i want and it never clumps! If you havnt tried lash blast yet you definately should!

4-a kim kardashian inspired nude pout : to get kims look use covergirl trushine lip color in powder pink shine. I bought this like two days ago or something & i think its the perfect shade of nude, its not too cakey and not too pinky it just right.


5-for perky pink cheeks : i picked up this blush when i picked up the covergirl lipstick that i mentioned above & i guess i hit the jackpot that day cause im really loving everything i got (: hehe hard candy blush in living doll really makes you look like a living doll lol . it actually isnt as pink as it looks in the pic below its a really sheer pink, i love it.

6-get perfect baby smooth skin : i use this cleanser faithfully it is by faaaar the best cleanser i have ever used it literally gives me baby skin, if you have sensitive skin this is a MUST! (: clean & clear oil-free daily pore cleanser

7-de-chapp your lips : i use this at night and during the day. It fills in all the lines in my lips and instantly makes them smooth & supple. Its a really great overnight treatment, i put it on right before i go to sleep, i wake up and i have a smooth soft pout. I also use this under lipstick to make it go on even & smooth. neosporin lip health overnight renewal therapy.

8-say goodbye to break outs : whenever i get a pimple or feel like im getting one i just dab this on the spot before bed and when i wake up its practically gone. It reduces redness & size in pimples overnight and it stops breakouts in their tracks if you see one coming. love it ! (: clean & clear persa gel

9-eliminate annoying dandruff : i dont know about everyone else but i hate dandruff! even its just one little flake i just hate it! lol its so annoying! my favorite drugstore shampoo is head&shoulders 2 in 1 dry scalp care its a 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner but i usually still use conditioner after. It smells great and feels great on my scalp i just massage it in & that takes care of alllll my dandruff problems (:

10-plump up those lips! : my favorite drugstore lip gloss is sally hansens lip inflation for some reason i feel like it brightens my teeth lol. it has a tingly feeling not an extreme burning sensation to where you feel like your lips are gonna fall off your face lol just a slight tingling. I use this when my lips need a little inflating & it really does the trick. i looove this gloss ♥

sephora sculpting disc


♥disclaimer: I am not affiliated with any of the products mentioned in my blog. All of my reviews are based solely on my opinion and expirience.
what it is: a sculpting powder trio.
my thoughts on this product:
ok sooooo i recently picked this up from sephora & my verdict is ... i LOVE it! I wanted to try the whole contouring thing & thought this would be a good product for that & i was very right. The palette consists of 3 non-codomogenic products the first one starting from the left is a gorgeous bronzer, it instantly warms up my complexion and gives me a beachy glow, its not too shimmery either. I apply it to the hollows of my cheeks and blend it in with my blush then i apply it to my temples, sides of my forehead and down the bridge of my nose. The middle product is my life saver! its a sheer translucent powder that i apply after my moisturizer. i powder my whole face with this then i apply my mac studio fix powder foundation. My foundation goes on really even and flawless after applying this translucent powder. It doesnt look cakey or fake at all just pretty & matte. The highlighter in the palette is very subtle but still very pretty. Its a shimmery pinkish color. However if your going for something more dramatic i would use a more pigmented highlighter.
I would definately reccomend going to sephora & picking one of theese up! Its only like $24 which is a steal for this palette.
