Green Eye Summer Look

 Primer: e.l.f. Poreless Face Primer.

 I'm really not a huge fan of this primer. It's something I could use for a day to day primer until it runs out.. It's very thick at first which I don't like, then it makes your skin silky feeling. I do like that aspect. The reason I won't be using this product again is the fact that after all my makeup was applied (this product is the only one that I haven't been wearing/I've barely used before) my lower part of my face started breaking out and itching really bad. It was the area I applied the most to. I enjoy a lot of e.l.f. items, but this isn't one for me. I would like to try their other primers.









Foundation: L'oreal Infallible Pro-Glow in the shade 201 classic ivory. I've seen a lot of good reviews on this product and a lot of negative ones. I personally enjoy this foundation. I didn't the first time I wore it because I was use to L'oreal Infallible Pro-Matte foundation. This formula is definitely not as good as the pro-matte. It's still a good drug store foundation in my opinion. It's not thick or too high on coverage, but it still makes my skin look healthy and glowing.





Concealer: tart Shape Tape in the shade fair. I've also seen mixed reviews on this concealer, but mainly good ones! I love this one. It has high coverage and helps me even out my face and highlight just the right areas. I really recommend this product!



Bronzer: Benefit Hoola Quickie Contour Stick.
I was skeptical of this product. I have pretty fair skin, so I feel like cream contour products may end up looking too dark or muddy on my skin. I got this as a free sample the last time I shopped on Sephora's website and I was surprisingly impressed. I'm not sure if it has completely won me over yet into purchasing the full size, but I'm sure after trying it out a few more times I'll be ready to make that purchase! 😂






Setting Powder: it Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed. 
Another great Sephora sample that I really enjoyed. If you have awful pores like myself, then I really recommend this powder!
 Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer in the shade Taupe. NYX Control Freak Eyebrow gel. I've already gushed about how much I love this product before, but this has really changed my eyebrow look for the better! I've really been enjoying this clear brow gel too.
Blush: City Color Be Matte Blush in the shade Fresh Melon. These are really nice blushes. This is very pigmented, so apply light-handed or you will for sure ruin your look. 😂 I really mean it. I was shocked at how pigmented they were. A plus for me is that I received these blushes from one of my Ipsy bags.                           
Highlight: Anastasia Beverly Hills Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit in the shade Forever Lit.
I love this glow kit, but I have a hard time pulling the colors off with my skin tone. They may work better with me once I fake tan. I went very light-handed with this highlight just like my blush!



Eyes: Too Faced Sweet Peach palette, ColourPop Creme gel liner in the shade Call me, Skone Tattooed eyeliner, Ardell 110 natural lashes with Duo lash glue, and Ulta Beauty Maximum lashes mascara.

I'll make the eye part easy and recommend every product. They're all amazing and I loved how my eyes turned out for this look. With the palette, I decided to go a green eye route,since most looks with this palette is of course peach looks. All the shades in this palette are stunning.
Eye look step by step.

Base: Peaches 'n Cream (matte peach cream)
Crease: Luscious  (shimmer light gold)
Outer to middle of lid: Bless Her Heart (shimmer dark emerald) 
Outer Crease: Bellini (shimmer gold)
Outer Corner: Peach Pit (shimmer dark purple) 
Inner Corner: Nectar (shimmer light cream)
Highlight: White Peach  (shimmer white cream)

 I did use a little of tarte Rainforest of the sea marine boosting mist on some of my eye brushes to make the colors pop more.



I love both of these eyeliners. I used the Colourpop one in the water line and tight line, then the Skone one on top of the lid and winged it out slightly. 


Then, I applied my lashes with Duo lash glue, curled my lashes, and added mascara. I love the formula of this mascara, but hate the wand! 😭  I swear I stab myself in the eye every time!

 Lips: bh Cosmetics ShaaanXO Lipsticks palette. 
I love all the shades in this palette. It's great for spring and summer looks! It's a plus because it comes with 9 eyeshadows on one side and 9 lip colors on the other side. I used the dark orange-red color on the top right corner in the picture.

My finished green eye summer look:

Skincare & Makeup Haul

Skincare & Makeup Haul I've never done a "haul" on my blog before, but I thought it would be a cool idea plus it would be a sneak peak of things that I'll be trying out for future reviews.  Skincare: I have been loving trying out new skincare items and although my skincare bin is a little full at the moment there was a few things I was running low on and a few things that I couldn't pass on!  I was running low on both makeup removing wipes and micellar water, so I picked these up at Target. I often use a moisturizer from the Simple brand, but I've never tried their wipes or micellar water before. It's cheaper in the long run buying the two pack of wipes, but I do hope these work good!  My nose has once again started getting clogged with blackheads. I've been trying out a few different foundations and wearing makeup just about everyday and my skin just isn't use to that. After taking a two week break from makeup a...

July Monthly Beauty Favorites

  July Monthly Beauty Favorites  I've been keeping my fingernails pretty naturally and trying to get them more healthier and longer looking, but I got this Kokie nail polish in an Ipsy bag a couple months ago and I've been using it a lot this summer on my toes. It's a really pretty periwinkle color. This is in the shade Heavenly. I actually bought this awhile back and used it (at least the body mist, as you can tell) so much. I've recently started using them again and have fallen in love with the scent once again. It's a mixture of vanilla and coconut. Those are my favorites!   FACE: For face care, I've still been using this  tarte Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive Gel Cleanser . I absolutely  love this stuff! This is a "must have" and "holy grail" for me! It has helped my face problems (I still have some issues of course, but it's improved since using this religiously) so much and doesn't dry my skin out too much a...

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018  You may already know, but I moved all of my subscriptions to my beauty channel: AllyBrianne   You can check out my unboxings there of all of my monthly and seasonal subscriptions.  The reason I'm posting this blog today is because I just got this months Ricky's Cult Crushes in the mail last week. I planned on filming a quick unboxing to post Sunday, but my weekend got away from me so here we are. This is only my second month receiving this subscription. I'm up in the air about it honestly. Last months ( Ricky's Cult Crushes // April 2018 ) was a good box, but sadly the pans in the eyeshadow palette kept falling out! You can see all that business in the video! I was disappointed because the shadows were great.. The packaging not so much.  If you don't know what  Ricky's Cult Crushes is... It is a $11 (now $14, I'll explain) monthly subscription that has mainly beauty items. This is a subscription throug...
