My Every Day Makeup Routine - 10 minutes, tops!

​Hi friends! Hope you all had a super fun and safe Labor Day weekend! I'm trying to be better about posting frequently so y'all stop teasing me about my random spurts of posts... so today I thought I'd post a lil somethin' somethin' about my every day makeup routine as of late (OK it's more like MOST DAYS guys let's be real)! If you know me you know that I am constantly trying out new products and switching it up and am ALL ABOUT finding cheap CVS products that do their thaaang better than any $50+ designer product ever could. However, MAC has always been a staple in my personal box of beauty faves and so I thought I'd share what I've been doin' to this face of mine lately! Keep in mind although this LOOKS like quite a few products, I swear to fruit snacks it takes me no more than 10 minutes to do this. You know me; I'm not tryna miss out on any extra snoozes just to do some crazy complicated makeup, people!  

P.S. I'm thinking about *MAYBE* doing a video to show you how easy/fast this is slash how exactly I do it, but for now, I'll give you a blog post with an awkward picture of my face with scary lines pointing to everything for ya! :p

Gettin' Lippy With It

My dad used to make me wash my face off every single morning from a ridiculously young age (I wasn't allowed to wear makeup until I was 14!) because I would waltz out the door with as much makeup as I thought I could get away with. NOPE! He always caught me. ALWAYS. That is until I discovered that he didn't pick up on lipstick as long as I kept it pretty natural. Who knew that a pink lip was less noticeable than bright blue eye shadow?! (;

I LOVE LIPSTICK YOU GUYS! For real. I do. I've truthfully never been a huge fan of gloss.. mostly just because it comes off the second you take a sip of your drink or kiss your man (and is super sticky!). I think the look of a matte, deeply pigmented lip against uber white teeth is the ultimate form of sexy! Simply adding a pop of color to your lips with minimal makeup on the rest of your face can truly make you look like a whole different woman. Experimenting with lipstick colors = CRAYON FUN!

Here are some of my favorite go-to lipsticks when I need a pop of color. I typically gravitate toward bold, bright shades of pink... but I've added a few others that I think are worth checking out.
