The Dream Team | How I Achieve Flawless Skin in the Winter

Hey Ya'll!  Happy New Year!!

So I'm sure with all of this crazy weather I'm not the only one who's skin

is freaking out.  

Sooo with smooth skin in mind- I wanted to share my secret to

getting my makeup to look flawless during the winter months when I'm dry

as the Sahara.  

Not today Satan, not today.

First things first- all products will be listed below and the

names are clickable links to said product.  😉

The first thing I do before applying any makeup is put on a generous amount of

my facial moisturizer, Garnier Gel Cream, and I let that soak into my skin

really good before moving onto anything else. 

I also like to fan my face after applying this because it makes my skin feel

really cold, and I like it.  I'm weird like that.

Next up I put 2 drops of the Palmer's Face Oil on my 

Real Techniques Foundation Brush then I apply that to my face.

Starting at my nose, chin, forehead, and under-eyes (my driest spots) 

then working it outward onto the rest of my face.  

Again, give that time to absorb and sink in good.

Once I've done those steps I squeeze about a quarter size amount of

my Garnier BB Cream onto my Real Techniques Sponge and then dab

it all over my face (forehead, cheeks, chin, nose) then slowly pat it into

my skin and all over my face.  

No- I don't experience any issues with it breaking up or looking funky.

I do set my t-zone with a pressed powder (Neutrogena is my fave) and it

works like a charm!

If I didn't do this my makeup would cling and have so much texture.  Gross

I hope this helps any of you struggling with the winter dryness.

Feel free to drop any questions or comments below.👇🏼

3 Steps for a Flawless Complexion

Hey ya'll!

For today's post I wanted to share 3 easy steps to a flawless complextion- 
with the help of some makeup of course.  😉

I strongly strongly urge everyone to have a good skincare regimen 
in place because let's face it- there's some things that not even makeup 
can help.  I think that skin care is paramount, with the right skincare 
routine you could possibly take over the world and wouldn't even need 
makeup to do so.

(I'll touch on that another day.)

Now for a good appearing complexion with makeup...

Ever heard "if you can't tone it, tan it?"

Well that statement is true about most things in life.  
Life is just better with a tan and far more sexual.
So that my friends is where a good self tanner comes into play.

Personally, Million Dollar Tan is my favorite brand that I've tried.

My 2 favorite tanning products are their 
Cabana Tan Extreme & Mermaid Mouse.

You can receive 20% off any order with code TERINTAN20

*My Self-Tanning Routine Can be Found HERE

Now once you've got yourself all sexified with your fake tan you can 
add makeup to the recipe at any time.

My top 2 recommendations are as follows:

1. Color Correcting (as/ if needed) 

*My choice pictured above can be found HERE

2. A good foundation/bb cream/cc cream & concealer

*My go-to products pictured above can be found HERE and HERE

For color correcting, you can choose whichever 
products/ colors you like that apply to your trouble areas.

Each color helps a different problem.  
I believe the concept is whatever the color is- it combats it's opposite
on the color wheel.  (Don't quote me though.)
There are multiple color correcting products on the market both high 
end and drugstore, most are in a palette form and need a brush to apply 
which is why I opted to share the Maybelline versions.  
They're in a convenient twist up stick w/ an applicator tip. SCORE

Now if you are at all familiar with my blog you know 
I am ride or die for the Garnier Oily to Combo BB Creams.  
First foundation type product I ever bought and have it in every shade!
I try other things and sometimes mix Garnier with another product but at the 
end of the day I always come back to my first true love.
With that- I use the Garnier anti dark circle eye roller.  I don't personally 
feel I have dark circles (although I probably will soon) but I just love this 
concealer.  The roller ball feels cool to the skin and the product itself is so 
creamy and easy to blend.  
True match made in Heaven if there ever was 1, but feel free to use whatever 
you enjoy and feel comfortable with...


And that's all folks!
Afterwards go about the rest of your makeup however you usually would with 
your favorite products or perhaps some new goodies you picked up.. 
Your choice.  
Be sure to let me know your favorite tips & tricks for a 
flawless complexion below.

I hope you all enjoy this post (if you don't I'll cut you).

Favorite Drugstore Makeup Products

So today I want to share, you guessed, my drugstore favorites!You're shocked aren't you?These are all products I own and truly love & pretty much believe my life can't go on without.Just wanted to point out that I didn't throw together a random list of affordable products, I own them all and it just happens to be a plus that they're on the more affordable side. :-)Some are cult classics and others are what I consider hidden gems.

1. Rimmel Lip Liner in "Eastend Snob"

-Click Here to Shop-

A true love of mine.  It's just the perfect "your lips but better" color.

The staying power, YALL, amazing.. 

2. ColourPop Liquid Lipstick in "Clueless"

-Click Here to Shop-

This isn't technically a "drugstore" product but it's at a drug store price point.

A near perfect dupe for Anastasia Beverly Hills "Dusty Rose", it's super gorgeous

and great all year round!

3. Garnier BB Cream for Oily to Combo Skin

-Click Here to Shop-

If you know me at all or have read any other blog post of mine then you know this is

just the dear dear love of my life.

I have the light/medium & the medium/deep- love them both.

4. Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

-Click Here to Shop-

I'm not a huge fan of using brushes to blend liquids.

I just feel like total Betty Crocker aka the dreaded cake face queen.

So this is my go to.  BB creams, concealer, all those liquids!

5. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

-Click Here to Shop-

I've heard this is a good dupe for the Nars concealer.  

Can't speak on that myself; however, I do love this stuff. 

I own a few shades and haven't been disappointed yet.

6. L'Oreal Infallible Eye Shadow in "Iced Latte"

-Click Here to Shop-

TOTAL DUPE ALERT... Stila Kitten!

Hello, best dupe ever.. Like ever..

I own this & the Stila and honestly some days this is more pigmented!

So gorgeous all over the lid.

7. Neutrogena Shine Control Powder

-Click Here to Shop-

Amazing. Done. Go get it.

I've tried other setting powders but this is my old faithful that I keep going back to.

It's like a man..  You're comfortable naked around him and you just always go back.

It does wonders in the summer for controlling all my grease and never looks cakey!

8. Maybelline Master Highlight in "Molten Gold"

-Click Here to Shop-

Maybelline killed it with this one you guys!  Amazing formula.

Seriously such a gorgeous highlight.  I just want to swim in it.  Also makes for a gorgeous lid color.

If you're on the more fair side this may not be for you but with a tan, AHHHHHMAZING.

9. ULTA Lipliner in "Bare"

-Click Here to Shop-

I picked this up on a whim..  Ulta always has that buy 2 get 2 free deal (or whatever it is)

so I was just grabbing things.  

I really love this nude.  It looks so natural and applies like a dream.

10. ULTA Matte Makeup Setting Spray

-Click Here to Shop-

So..  This stuff..  I'm really not even sure where to begin.

I could bathe in this..  I kind of want to drink it..  Okay, maybe I'm getting carried away.

But I love it!

This was a trial & error product but once I figured it out, I'm obsessed.  

You have to spray it very sparingly, too much and it'll make you seem oilier than usual.

I'll likely never buy a high-end setting spray again.

Seriously y'all, this stuff is better than my All Nighter by UD.

It also smells really good..  Double win.

11. Wet n Wild Lipstick in "Fergie Daily"

-Click Here to Shop-

The most perfect brown-toned nude I own.  Not kidding.

It blends into my natural lip color so perfectly.

It isn't too brown and doesn't have a pinky undertone.  It's perfect.

Simply perfect.  

12. ULTA Clear Brow Gel

-Click Here to Shop-

So, I've seen that this has mixed reviews on the Ulta website... DO NOT let that deter you!

Again, that damn 2 for 2 special got me.  Lol

I really needed something to tame my wild brows though and this stuff is like gorilla glue.

Love it.

I remove it the same as I do all my other makeup and never have an issue. 

13. Milani Baked Blush in "Luminoso"

-Click Here to Shop-

Possibly the most gorgeous drugstore blush you could ever own.

If you only own 1 blush, it should be this 1.

It isn't too intense and super buildable.

Beautiful on any skin tone and just adds a very subtle sheen.

And there you have it..  My must-have products from the drugstore and it's my strong opinion that you must have them too!  So run, don't walk.:-D

Quick + Easy Everyday Makeup Routine

Hey Y'all!

So it's been a minute since I posted about makeup so I thought I'd share a quick rundown of my go-to every day routine.

*Disclaimer- I don't wear makeup every day, but if I want to wear a little and I'm in a hurry, this is my jam!

Honestly, even when I'm not in a hurry because ain't nobody got time for all that! *shrugs

Occasionally I'll switch a thing or 2 up- a cream contour or add Stila kitten to my lid, but for 

the most part these are the main products I reach for.

This look is super natural with a little UMPH!

All items will be pictured & linked below as well as a little description of how I use them.  :-)

*The only item not listed is Urban Decay Shadow in "DarkHorse"- I use it to fill in my brows a bit.

2. Garnier Combo to Oily BB Cream

I apply this first before any additional concealer.

4. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

I apply this under my eyes after the Garnier roller, as well as the bridge of my nose, chin, and forehead.

To set my under-eye and t-zone.

6. Laura Mercier Bronzer

I use this as bronzer on the hallows of my cheeks, forehead, and apply it to my eyelid crease.

7. Nars Orgasm Blush

-Click Here to Shop-

Obvi where this goes, ain't it? lol

Them cheeks girl!

8. Maybelline Master Highlighter

-Click Here to Shop-

Cheekbone highlight, tip of nose, and a little above my brows.

9. L'Oreal Lash Paradise Mascara

-Click Here to Shop-

Apply this gem to my top & bottom lashes.

Seriously guys, soooo good!  It's been replacing my Carbon Black lately. Say whaaat?!

10. Maybelline Falsies Push-Up Drama Mascara

I apply this to my top lashes over the L'Oreal just to make them a bit bolder.

11. L'Oreal Colour Riche Balm in "Nourishing Nude"
