Eyes
Who needs good eye makeup that will last all day, survive through rain and tears, and doesn’t destroy your lashes or skin? Oh wait. All of us!
My go-to everyday casual eyelash look! This is perfect for work or a trip to the store. Why? Because it makes it look like you are not even trying. Perfect for the cute and “I woke up like this” vibe b
Lengthening, Volumizing, Waterproof Mascaras - Lancôme
My favorite Lancôme mascara is the Definicils mascara! It lengthens your lashes like nothing I have ever tried. If you are going for the sharp look…and and want a twinkle of sass, this is for you!
Lengthening, Volumizing, Waterproof Mascaras - Lancôme
One of my favorite eyeliners of all time. It is 24hr through tears and sweat. And I mean SWEAT. I swear this last through music festivals in 100+ degree weather. It is my favorite go to eye liner because it comes with ink and pencil.

Time for the Opening Act…
I have shared my favorite mascaras, but what I haven't shared is my secret to making it stay all day and most importantly, keeping your lashes healthy.
To pair with my FAVORITE Day-to-Day mascara this is my recommendation for my favorite primer. I use this everyday to bare rainstorms, sweat, and tears. It resists anything the world throws at you so those raccoon days can be thrown out the door.
Not only does it fight water, but it actually makes your lashes healthier? HUH. Did I say that? Healthier…. uh YEAH. Lets just say I wear Mascara every day, which is terrible for your lashes. It is very damaging and eventually they will start falling...

opening act™ lash & mascara primer
Can we take a moment to appreciate this product?
….
Okay, moment is over. I AM OBSESSED. If they ever dropped this product like they did their lip paint, I think I would sob until I got dehydrated and passed out.
I have used this mascara for years as my everyday mascara. It is perfect for that natural look with all the right enhancements. We will never experience clumping or eyelash sticking. We will only experience a light and perfect way to just add a littl...
I love this because
1) No clumpping. Every lash is seperated, but thickened.
2) The length. It is almost as if I ate a beanstock bean and instead of it growing a giant, it grew my lashes.
3) Weather and tear RESISTANT. It doesn't say waterproof, but it is. This will not budge for 48 hours if you didn't want it to. (However I do use it with the primer.)

Tarteist™ lash paint mascara
Face
I am obsessed with this powder blush from Tarte. My favorite color is “Captivating”. As a fair skinned gal I like to go with this for natural shade so it’s not too much of a color pop. It gives the most natural cute girlie look and lasts all day long...
Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush - Tarte™ Cosmetics
Oily Skin? Yes. Dry skin? Yes. Smooth Skin? Yes. Layered…. YES!
Say yes to this foundation. As a girlie with combo skin, I have struggled with acne since high school. I have tried almost every foundation and this one out shines them all.
You can layer it for whatever coverage you are looking for. It works with powders and liquid products without the Caked on look. You wont be too shiny or too dim.
I hate to say it, but I feel as though it helped control my acne and oily skin. I have been using this for years and I will never give it up.

Teint Idole Ultra 24H Long Wear Matte Foundation - Lancôme | Sephora
This is my so called - “Secret Ingredient” to place the finishing touches on my face.
I love that the powder is translucent because it makes it layer-able and multi-purposeful. You can use it
1) Over foundation before powder blush and contour
2) Over foundation and liquid blush and contour
3) On it's own!
Not only does it smooth my skin to look like I face-tuned irl. It holds my makeup in place all day and night. It will even survive music festivals in Florida's strongest heat wave. Bring it on Sun!
As a girl with huge pores and an oily face. I won't leave the house without this product. Nothing glides on smoother and keeps my face from looking greasy like this magical powder.

All Soft Duo: Shampoo & Conditioner
My Favorite Everyday Essential
The key step to the All-Sft products is this oil. If you don't want to spend the money on the shampoo and conditioner (don't tell them this) thats 100% fine, because you can get 80% of the same effect with just this oil.
You can you use it on dry or damp hair. I personally use it daily or as needed because I am obsessed with having soft hair. When I say soft, it is like SILK. Maybe even softer. I can't tell you how many people have touched my hair and couldnt STOP to...
