Happy Friday! Today I am sharing my favorite Make-up/Cleansing Products.
A few weeks ago, I placed an order from Tarte when they had their sale. I order from them maybe once a year, but do like to take advantage when they have their big sale. Here are the items I purchased recently & will mention them throughout this post.
It has nice packaging and included this black cosmetic bag.
My morning routine begins with me washing my face with water, then I roll my face to help with circulation.
I follow up with moisturizer. With Tarte, I received this drink of H2O hydrating boost moisturizer. I am using it in the mornings. I also have these other moisutrizers, but I use them at night. I typically use e.l.f., but bought this Eclat brand from Amazon this summer, so I am working through it for my night moisturizer.
Once this simple process is done, I begin with my make-up routine.
I start with my e.l.f. sunscreen. I have used Super goop in the past and like it, but I like this just as well for half the price. For foundation, I typically would buy Covergirl and this is their True Blend foundation. With the Tarte sale, I ordered the BB blur tinted moisturizer SPF 30. I really like this, but only would buy it when it is on sale :). That being said, I found this dupe for it on Amazon, but haven't tried it yet. I am going to add it to my list when I finish these foundations.
Sometimes, I use a little powder for contouring, but most days, I just use one of these for blush. I am a fan of the roll-on blush and don't see myself going back to powder blush. The Tarte product I purchased was limited-edition cheek stain. The other two products are my go-to e.l.f monochromatic multi sticks, which sell for $5! I do sometimes use a setting powder, but not often.
For eyeshadow, I really like my Julep matte eye shadows. With the Tarte sale, I chose the quick stick waterproof shadow & liner, which I really like too. One side has an eye shadow pencil and the other side is an eye liner. Like blush, I don't see me every going back to powder eye shadow.
Typically I use one of everyone's favoirte mascaras, Lash Princess. I ordered the tartelette tubing mascara with Tarte. I am a fan of it as well!
I use a Maybelline brow pencil, which is something I am not too particular about, but I do like the Stila eyeliner.
To round it out for the lips, I have a few shades of the Qibest lipstick, but I really like this Tarte maracuja juicy lip balm.
Out of all the Tarte products, I think the lip balm is my favorite! When Tarte has this sale, it really is a great deal to get all these products at more than 50% off! The last time I ordred from Tarte, these are the products I ordered:
sugar rush™ skin treat tinted moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20
timeless™ smoothing primer
sketch & set™ brow pencil & tinted gel
lights, camera, lashes™ 4-in-1 mascara
tarteist quick dry matte lip paint
youth or dare multi-acid & C serum
The products I ordered most recently are definitely preferred over my previous order. I am pleased with all
the products and here I am wearing the Tarte products:
Now in the evening when it is time to wash my face, I use the Target or Wal-Mart brand of eye make up remover. I then use the e.l.f cleansing balm. I have used Colleen Rothschild, Clinique and Neutrogena's versions of this, but the e.l.f. works just as well for me and is at a good price. After washing the balm using a microfiber wash cloth, I use a serum on my face.
I follow this up with my night moisturizer (pictured at the top of the post).
I try to remember to use an eye cream and I also like my lip mask I use before bed each night. My preference is the vanilla.
And a few other random products, I use Isle of Paradise tanning drops in the summer a few nights a week to add in with moisturizer. It is rare I have break outs, but if I do, I will use my stand by Clean and Clear to clear any breakouts on my face.
That is a peak into some products I use and really like. All products can be purchased through Tarte, Amazon, Wal-Mart or Target.
Thanks for following along and happy last weekend of October!
