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.
