My Top 5 Makeup Brushes

                               
Hello Beauties,
If you're like me I loveeeee makeup brushes, if I had all the money in the world boy would I splurge on some nice brushes. But I'm a student on a budget so I get what I can. For makeup brushes you need to have the mindset that they are an investment into your beauty regime. You want quality, results and ease therefore, it means taking some time to properly research and save up for the right tool. My motto for any purchase is Quality over Quantity and that goes for many things, but when it comes to beauty tools it should be well thought out. 
In the beginning of getting into makeup in my mind I was like, " Why the hell would I spend 40-50$ on a single brush when I can buy a purse with that". But you got to think of it as an investment into your look, you want flawless results you need to invest in quality tools; plus they last forever with the proper care.

So here are my top 5 brushes:

1. Sephora Pro Flawless Airbrush 56- 40$
                            

Buffs your foundation beautifully and doesn't leave any lines- I love this brush

2. Sephora Pro Flawless Concealer 57-30$
                              

Amazing at blending in concealer under the eye- can't live without this brush

3.Sigma Large Angles Contour F40- 22$
                          

I think this is my favourite brush of them all, its the best at applying blush/bronzer so effortlessly 

4.MAC Flat Shader 239- 25$
                             

Great to apply an even amount of colour all over the lid

5. MAC Blending Brush 217- 24$
                       

Best blending brush I have ever tried, so easy and perfect size for any eye.

Night Time SkinCare Routine

Hello :)

Today I will be sharing what I do to my skin every night, personal much? LOL
I am not one who has a very disciplined routine to come with my skincare because I'm so lazy when it comes to that step. But I have developed a routine which is easy for me to stick by and actually do nightly. What I only do at night to my skin is moisturize because when I come out of the shower my skin feels so dry and stiff I need to deeply moisturize it. So I use 2 products every night, the first is 100% Pure Argan Oil Light by Josie Maran and I apply 2 drops of the oil and pat it down on my skin. Next I use Sephora Intensive Instant Moisturizer and apply it over my face and have that soak in. It gives me a soft canvas to sleep on and wake up with moisturized skin.  I will apply vaseline onto my lips as well because I always have chapped lips. And that's basically it for my skincare routine if I have any breakouts I will apply Clearisil Vanishing Cream onto the spots and sleep overnight. Other than that my skincare routine is very simple and for me I need it to be as little steps as possible or else I will have no motivation to do it.
                

Product Review: Naked Basics Palette



Hey Guys,

Urban Decay has probably one of the best pigmented shadow palettes and they came out with a palette exclusively for matte shadows. This is version 1 I am reviewing and they recently came out with a second one, it has more taupe-y shades versus the first palette.
I went through a phase where I only used shimmery shadows but using this palette redefined my taste in makeup. This palette will help you achieve classy, sophisticated put together looks in just minutes. I love this palette so much, its my go to whenever I want simple fast eye makeup. My favourite shade is Naked 2 I just apply it all over my lid with a winged liner and it makes me look like I've put effort into my makeup when I really didn't :P
Here are the swatches of this palette, they're very creamy and blend beautifully. Definitely worth the buy :)
Venus, Foxy, W.O.S, Naked 2, Faint, Crave
