Oldies but Goodies!

Welcome Back! 

So today I will be sharing some old products that I always repurchase because they are simply awesome. Best of all they are mostly all from the drug store! So let's jump in!

Elf Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick in color Pink Umbrella, 

I've own this lipstick for many years and have only had to repurchase it once. It's very moisturizing and has a tad glitter in it nothing overkill. It looks so nice with most skin colors, being a tan color not all pale pinks are flattering, let's just keep it real. But this one is a winner! Best part? It is two bucks. It is honestly not long lasting, I do not mind reapplying it however, if having to reapply lipstick makes you cringe, this little guy might not be for you.

NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder,

If anyone knows me, they know I am obsessed with eyebrows, naturally I have tried many products but this guy is awesome. I've been using it non stop for some time now. I use it when I want a quick fill in or for a very precise and dramatic eyebrow. My shade is Dark Brown, I like a darker look since my hair is dark and I am more tan. The eyebrow powder comes with a wax to help eyebrows stay put. I do not use the wax because thankfully my eyebrows are pretty tamed, I do think it is a great add on. For six bucks you get two shades, eyebrow wax, a spoolie, and a brush. How badass?

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind,

While this product promises to "erase" dark circles, I do not feel it does just that. I use it more to brighten my under eye area. If you have very dark circles, it will just brighten the dark circles, not erase them. My under eye area isn't too dark, so this concealer does a good job for me. I do have to set it with a powder in order to ditch creases throughout the day. The texture of this concealer is perfect, not to thick or watery. Like I said the coverage is good enough for me because my under eye is not so dark. I purchase mine at Target, the cheapest I have found it. Ulta carries it for $8.99 where Target has it for $6.99. I use this product under my eyes, down the bridge of my nose, and a little on the center of my forehead. Every where I want to lighten or where the light hits us naturally. I would say you must set this product or it will move and crease. I use the shade Light which is pretty light but like I said, I do not use it to conceal with is why it works for me. 

Light

Mac Studio Finish Concealer,

This concealer I use as a base for my eye lids, not as a concealer. I love how it creates a nice clean one shade eye lid. I have darker eye lids and shadows don't look true to their colors if I were just to apply them directly to my eye lids. I have to use a base to bring out true shade of shadows. It also does a great job as a primer. This concealer is thick so a little goes a long way. I have had this concealer for many years and have not had to replace it because it is very concentrated so I do not use a lot of product. I apply this concealer with my fingers just to blend out nice and evenly, it might be harder to use with a brush because of the thickness. Using your fingers will warm up the product for a smoother and more flattering appearance. This is a little more on the pricey end at $19 bucks but it will last for ever which makes it totally worth it.

I use these four products (except lipstick) every single time I apply a full face of make up. I've used these products since I was in my teens, 19 to be exact! They just get the job done at an affordable price so why change it up? I have more concealers and eye brow kits but some how I end up using these every time. Always remember to prep your face for make up or else your make up might not end up as awesome as you would like.
