My 5 minute daily makeup routine & products!

My everyday makeup routine!

I’ve been asked a lot on what products I use for makeup. I decided to post my day time, in a hurry makeup routine! I try and achieve the natural, glowing/sunkissed look! Below are my absolute favorite day time makeup products…

1. Tinted moisturizer by Laura Mercier in the “oil control” formula for summer- I like to glow, but not to shine!
~ Bisque (when I’m
Pale)
~ Sand (when I’m
Tan)
Applied with hands

*I also like Keihls, but they are re- formulating.

2. Concealer stick by Bobbi Brown
~ Natural tan..it has a little
yellow in it which is what you want
when canceling out any redness!
Applied with Mac concealer brush

3. Blush by NARS
~ Orgasm..I’m sure you’ve heard of
It! Best blush color ever!
Applied with Trish Mcevoy brush (great brushes)

4. Bronzer by Too Faced
Applied with Mac powder brush on cheekbones, under neck, contoured nose and chin

5. Setter by Mac
~Studio Fix in medium
Applied with the skinny Mac brush under eyes, down the middle of nose, above lips, highlighter line.

6. Mascara by YSL
* I also LOVE Trish Mcevoy waterproof mascara, found only in Neumann Marcus.

7. Eyeshadow by Mac
~ Malt Matte
Applied on the lids with Trish Mcevoy brush to make the eyes pop!

8. Lip balm by SMITHS
~strawberry flavor
*also love ESOS lip balm in sweet mint!

A Mans Easter Basket!

Around any holiday I tend to get rather creative! I love giving gifts and decorating accordingly. Easter is a favorite of mine, not just because of chocolate and pretty pastels, but because of the meaning! After all, JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS people!!! Haha!! This Easter I’m blessed to be able to have my Dad in town to celebrate this wonderful weekend! unfortunately my delectable and incredible future hubs will be traveling for basketball. :( However, that didnt stop me from making him an epic Easter basket so he could enjoy it when he gets home! Without further adieu…here are some of the goodies!!

First off, DOLLAR STORE SCORE! So many cute little baskets and accessories!

Both stuffed with little goodies that I know both absolutely love! From magazines and types of chocolate that peak their individual interests, to foam crowns and candy stuffed golf clubs!

Hope everyone can get a little inspired to make a quick and meaningful Easter basket for their loved ones! Enjoy your Easters lovebirds!!!
