loreal – Candy Stilettos

I am a risk-taker for fashion but rarely for makeup. I keep it simple, mostly because I am not great at putting on makeup. Because of my lack of skill, I like to keep my makeup routine simple. Ryan and I celebrated our anniversary last week and it was the first time in a few months I was able to really put on some makeup and dress up. I am also wearing the beautiful rose gold diamond necklace he surprised me with.

To achieve this “natural” look, I used Ava Anderson BB Cream in Bisque, Mary Kay Brow pencil, and used my absolute favorite bronzer, Ombre Bronzer by It Cosmetics. On my eyes, I actually used the gold/shimmer part of the Ombre Bronzer and this eyeliner also by It Cosmetics (yes, I love them)! Finished off with my favorite drugstore mascara, L’oreal Telescopic. For more drugstore favorites, check out my post Best of Drugstore Products.

I love to try new makeup but sometimes do not have the extra funds to fork out $30 for a new lip color. I also do not want to waste a ton of money on cheap beauty products. Here are my favorite drugstore picks, tried and true! What are your favorite drugstore products?

1. Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe Spray: Love this stuff! It smells like the beach and really gives natural tousled waves in just a few minutes. I usually use this on a lazy hair day, spray in damp hair and tousle my hair with my fingers.

2. Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner: I have been using this eyeliner for years. It lasts ALL day and does not smudge. It’s also easy to apply. The classic blck noir is my go-to, however they have some fun color selections if you;re feeling frisky.

3. NYC In a Minute Nail Polish: For $1.99 you can have fun with color. Dries quickly and pretty good quality for the price! Fashion safari is the perfect beach inspired color for summer.

4. Maybelline Master Glaze Blush Stick: This is technically a blush, however, you can see that I used on my lips as well. I love when a product can dual as two beauty products, especially for on the go. It’s very moisturizing and I love the Coral Sheen color.

5. L’oreal Telescopic Mascara: By far the best drugstore mascara I have tried. I was really impressed with the way it lengthens and thickens lashes.. I did not even need eyeliner when wearing this mascara (as seen above). Perfect for an everyday mascara.
