Wore this on saturday for a lunch and movie date with my little family, I've had this dress for over a year I have only worn it a handful of times. Since one of my new years resolution was to find new ways to use what I already have in my wardrobe and add new items as they are needed.

The Importance Of Eyebrows

 

 

Eyebrow Products:

 Hip Color Truth Cream Liner in Brown, L'oreal Infallible Lacquer Liner  in Blackest Black,

Wet & Wild Fergi Center Stage Collection in Desert Festival ( Dark Matte Brown) 

You may have noticed that I really love to define my brows, I think that they are the most important part of my routine.  You see the brows are the focal point of the face they define the face, they add structure and most important they complete a you eye look.  As you can see in the pictures above I don't have a full brow with the perfect shape (I'm actually in the process of growing them out after a horrible threading job) so I defiantly have to fill them in using three different products.  It is hard choosing the colors that I out on my eyebrows because they are naturally black, therefore any other color would make them look unnatural.  I have to use a color that is a really dark brown almost black and fade it in to make them appear natural. I also like to pay attention to the shape that I give them, although it's hard to understand that brows are not suppose to be twins they are to be sisters.  Lately I have been liking a more straight shape with a thicker fuller looking brow, and that seems to be working for me. 


Here (video) is a link to one of my favorite videos that really goes in to depth about eyebrows and its shapes, It has really helped me in understanding what works for me and its from one of my favorite YouTube beauty gurus who I have been following for years Michelle Phan.

I bet you can tell that I love this clutch since I got it on Sunday I have paired it with every outfit for the past 3 days. I wore this outfit out to have coffee with my friend on Monday morning which are finally chilly enough that I get to wear a sweater, we sat for hours just talking about our lives know and how much has changed since high school.  We also talked about our plans for the future, school, kids, family and of course this blog that to me is my priority at the moment, she asked where I see myself in 5 Years and I said that I'll love to see my blog grow and reach lots of people that hopefully I could inspire in someway.

I love this look its so simple and fast to put on if your in a hurry specially because both eyeshadows are in the same UD Ammo Pallet.  This look I usually wear when I'm in a hurry but still needing to look put together it takes me no more then 10 minutes.

Sometimes people will ask why you wear so much foundation but people don't know that having makeup on boosts up you self esteem since not all of us are blessed with perfect skin. I personally have dark spots from acne, I have really bad under eye circles that no matter what I do there not going no where because they are hereditary.  This is my current foundation routine from using all drugstore products I wear this at least five days a week the other two I eighter dont wear makeup or I use a BB Cream.  I personally dont feel that the Covergirl Outlast is a heavy foundation with just one pump I covered all my face and just added concelear to the areas that needed more coverage, and I just set with powder and I'm set for the rest of the day.

What's you favorite drugstore foundation?
