Dirty Little Secret.... Drugstore

Brittanies Must Have Products!

                There all drugstore product that I just have to have this month and last month and forever. They are all super affordable if you are on a budget but they are all also good quality.
                Lets start of with lip products. I have been loving Baby Lips by Maybelline ever since they came out. This one particular is called Peach Kiss and I also like the one that is not scented the original. I also have been loving the Maybelline lipstick in 635 Very Cherry it is so beautiful and it lasted almost all day until I ate. Next is the Sally Hansen lipstick in shade Perfect Pink Rose Parfait. Now for the cheekers! Everyone has been hating on the Dream Bouncy blush By Maybelline but I actually like it a lot. I apply it directly to my face from the jar and it is so pretty when you set it with a powder blush. I do not recommend using a brush with the cream blush that just makes no sense. But this is one is 05  Fresh Pink and I love it paired with Fit Me blush by Maybelline in Medium Coral. Now for the eyes, I really like the palette that is to the right it is a Covergirl Eye Enhancer I believe it is called Fard Accent. Please someone correct me if I am wrong. Anyways I really love all the colors I used the blues mainly in the summer because they were so pretty on my tan skin. Now I use the burnt orange color mixed with a pink and brown and it gives my eye like a fall look and makes my eye color pop. Now I am a big fan of gel eyeliners and Maybelline has a great one called Eyestudio in Charcoal and its pretty awesome when you set it with a black shadow. I love all these products I use them almost every week and  I hope you enjoy them too.

Disclaimer: No one paid to blog about these products. Trust me these are my opinions and you do not have to buy these product if you do not want to. I was just freely expressing my opinion and trying to help a sista out:)


I hope you guys enjoy and maybe try these out if you have not yet. But if you have tell me what you think of them?

Have a great day and hugs to everyone!

Mac just came out with there new line and I got an email for it this morning.
The line is called Making Pretty and it is such a beautiful line I love it. It is kind of pricey just to let you know the lipsticks are 32$ and the prices go up. I know they are already sold out on the lipsticks online so if you want them go check out where your nearest Mac store is.

I Like Fish

This is possibly the best fishtail braid I have done in my entire life. I took a shower this morning and I didnt do anything to my hair that is why its frizzy.
But I was feeling kind of sick this morning and I did not want to deal with my hair so I did this. This is always a safe braid to do when your feeling low.

I hope your day is better then mine
Hugssss

        Everyone wants those beautiful high cheek bones, but guess what ladies if you spent a little extra time in the morning you could! Just take your bronzer and if you dont have bronzer any dark brown shadow would work. Find the hallows of your cheek they are pretty easy to find just like your cheeks. Suck in and make a fish face then thats how you find your cheeks now for the hallow part it usually lies underneath your cheeks. It will start from the top of your ear and ends at the corner of your mouth. Take a contouring brush and bronzer and start to apply it softly. You dont want a harsh line because you want it to look natural. Make sure you blend it into your hairline. After that you are ready for your blush and pretty highlighter on top.

If you want to know how to contour your nose to perfection and also the forehead leave a comment below. Also if you want to know how to highlight or if you have suggestion comment below.

I hope you guys have a FanTabuLous Dayyy :)
Lots of hugs

Super Busy For Finals... But Always Have Time For Alittle Make-Up;)

      I was headed downtown and of course I got to look good while I am down there. I have not change my foundation routine and so it is the usual Bare Minerals Foundation in Medium Beige, Concealor by Covergirl in Light, and setting powder in translucent by Bare Minerals. I did all the normal contouring and brow work I did not change the color or anything.
     Now for the fun part my eyes have a primer base by Two Faced and it is called Shadow Insurance. Then I put Rice Paper by MAC all over the lid up to the brow bone. Then I used the Covergirl Eye enhancer palette and I used the burnt orange color all over the lid. Next I used Woodstock by Urban Decay on the outer corner of the eye. Next I used a brown from the Almay Trio Palette for the crease after I did that I blended everything together and added some Bare Minerals Volumizing Mascara.
    Cheeks, I used Maybeline bouncy blush in 05 Fresh Pink then to top it off I put Fit Me in Medium Coral by Maybeline. The lips I put Burt's Bees Chap stick then I put Pretty Pink Rose Parfait by Sally Hansen.

I hope you guys enjoy :)

Ew... Oil.

I have large pores so I struggle with very oily skin. I use powder and other products to help stop the shine. I know how it feels to shine like the sun. I wanted to try some products that prevent shine and I picked out this one. I tried it several different ways the first way was with make up and the second was without makeup. Now the instructions say that you have to apply this after you cleanse your face and before your moisturize.  I did that and then applied my makeup and it helped a lot but I was also wearing setting powder. I tried it again without my makeup and it worked for a little bit but it did not last for the day which was kind of upsetting. Now your welcome to try it for yourself it did not work for me because I have very oily skin. I also have very sensitive skin so when I applied it I was very cautious but it felt very heavenly on my skin and it did not irritate it at all.

I hope you guys enjoy!Happy December!!

Love Painting My Nails... Not!

I always liked my nails to be done in the salon because they always looked better. But when I was younger I never really adventured out in different nail polishes. I suck at putting nail polish on... Like the polish splatters all over my hand... I am just terrible at it so I never paint my nails. But when Sally Hansen came out with these stick on nail prints I freaked out. At first I thought it was a joke like that is not possible. But I bought my first one and I messed up of course even on the stick on haha but when I got it to work it was the best thing ever.
I bought a really cute one with pink polkadots and then a really festive one with poinsettas.
I totally recommend these there awesome and I am definatly going to buy more. This is for people who suck at painting there own nails like me.

Hand hugs for everyone!!
