Everyday Use


 Neutrogena Daily Moisturizer SPF 30- This sunscreen is great to have right now with the fall sneaking up. For some reason my face tends to get whiter during the cold days so I use this to put a little glow to my cheeks and T-zone. I use this mainly though as facial sunblock and as a base primer to keep my powder in place.

E.L.F Contour Brush- I picked this up on a whim and couldn't beat the $1 price. It's really good for creating that smokey eye effect and smudging pencil eyeliner.

Aussie Leave-in Conditioner- I like that this formula is in a spray bottle instead of the tub or scoop-out container. The smell is not exactly what I prefer (being that it's pina colada-ish), but it definitely has my curls looking smooth and healthy. On some days I like to spray a lot on my damp hair and wear it in a tight bun so that way my hair gets the full penetration and soaks in all the conditioner. The next day I wear it down and it looks so shiny and nice, not a frizz ball in sight. This does very well with taming the fly-aways too.

E.L.F Studio Blush- I couldn't believe how well these blushes stayed on during my 8 hr work shift. Being how cheap these were ($3 each) I was expecting to put on layers of it to achieve the color outcome. It actually sweeps on very well and a little goes a long way. Maybe my oily skin helps to keep the color in place, but whatever it is I like it. I purchased both of these at the same time (Tickled Pink and Mellow Mauve) liking the fact that they weren't too pigmented. I don't really like the shimmer-glitzy sparkles when it comes to my blushes. These 2 colors were perfect for the look I was going for and go well in hand together. The Elf blush worked out so well for me that I actually winded up skipping Sephora (to pick up a Nars blush set) and just stuck with these. It's been a month now of everyday use and they're still going strong (haven't hit pan yet. :)
