Clinique Makeup Love Affair + My New Maybelline Foundation!

Today's post is on my endearing love for Clinque. My step-grandmother introduced them to me about a year ago, as she has been using them religiously her whole life. She has always raved about the quality of their makeup, and how it's gentle on sensitive skin and hypoallergenic. Thanks to her impressive collection, she has gifted me with a lot of their makeup products to try. Most recently, she gave me their Take The Day off makeup remover. Lately, I've decided to stop using makeup wipes, as I've found they make my skin dry and red. This makeup oil is much gentler on my skin and keeps it soft and supple. She also gave me another of my favorite mascaras, their high impact one.

This is, hands down, the best mascara I've ever used! It goes on so easily and I never have a problem with it clumping. Literally, I could put it on in the car in a little over a minute! When I'm in a hurry before work or a busy day, this is always my go to! It brightens your eyes and makes your lashes fuller, without any hassle.

I was also out shopping the other day, because I was out of the foundation I usually use. I was a bit irritated when I couldn't find it, where I had stopped at a drug store.  I'm not one to change up my routine, as my skin is quite sensitive. Once I've found what works for me, I usually stick to it. So, naturally, I didn't like the idea of buying a different product. But this turned out to be an opportunity to try a new one, which I've found is even better! The past few days I've experimented with Maybelline New York Dream Liquid Mousse Airbrush foundation. It's a shade darker than my normal skin color, so it helps give my skin a bit of color and glow.

Whilst I was browsing the aisles, I also bought some Elf Tinted Moisturizer, which I'm extremely excited about. I've heard models and beauty experts talk about how essential a tinted moisturizer is for sunny days and for making you look tanner. So far my experience with it has proved them right! I needed to try a different one anyway, as the one I was using wasn't right for my skin type. Finally, I also purchased a brush for applying bronzer( from Elf.) This is yet another brush I'm so satisfied with from their range, as it's so nice on your skin and blends makeup perfectly.

Target Handbag, Maybelline Makeup, & My New Hat & Shoes(September+October Favorites)

Fall is here, and I've been having a lot of fun putting together some outfits. I finally invested in a handbag from Target and couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase! I love the golden color and how many different compartments there are to keep things in. For someone who's extremely disorganized, this cute purse has been my savior! It only cost $30.00, which might seem like a lot- but was well worth it the money! I can keep my wallet, makeup, hair-things and even a book or too in this trusty handbag. It's so much easier than trying to cram everything I need with me into a tiny one.

Then there's my new jean-coat from Mudd, which has been my best friend lately with all the rain we've been having. It's comfy but also stylish and can be easily paired with denim jeans or any color of pants and shirt. 

Along with this jacket, I've been wearing my new blue hat pretty much non-stop. I got it from Kohls for $15.00, which I think is a pretty good deal. It was lovely to switch things up for a change, since I usually wear my light-brown hat all the time. I'm also looking forward to the colder days of this month, when I can show off my brown beanie. It's quite possibly the comfiest thing I've ever worn on my head!  I like wearing it with my trench coat of the same color and these black boots from Marshalls.

Moving on to makeup, I'm currently digging every Maybelline product I can find! I must say, 2nd to Elf, they are my favorite cosmetic line. I've never had a single bad experience when experimenting with their products. Right now, I love their Pumped Up Colassal Mascara. For someone who's always struggled with tiny, thin eyelashes, this mascara is a lifesaver! I've pretty much ditched all my other mascaras and now use this religiously every day. Finally, there's Maybelline's Eyebrow pencil, in dark brown. I'm so happy to say I've discovered the right eyebrow product, that suits me perfectly. After trying out numerous pencils and an ABH dipbrow, it's such a relief to have discovered this one. It fills my sparse,color-less eyebrows in so effortlessly, leaving them looking as nice as if I'd just gotten them waxed.:) It's also easy to touch up, when you're out and about, as you don't need a brush.
