Lipgloss/Lipstick Faves:


These are amazing! They are very similar to  the Burts Bees Shimmer
chapsticks (which I LOVE), but they are only $1.99 in drugstores.
I actually got all three colors on sale @ 40% off the other day!
Wet n' Wild Natural Blend Shimmer Sticks


This lipgloss is very pretty. It has a thinner texture, so my only
negative thing I can say is that it doesn't show as
dark of color as I would hope for, but it still has a
yummy flavor, a tad-bit of shimmer to it and sheen, which is
always pretty on lips. It is around $5 at the drugstore.
Covergirl Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers

BonneBell Milk Shakes Lip Gloss
BonneBell LipLites (berry smoothie
& strawberry parfait are my favorite colors and are shown below!)

These glosses are something that I call a staple to my everyday
makeup. They are thicker in texture. They do not make
lips dry in any way and the colors are very pretty and feminine.
I think the best quality they have is that they offer a shimmer
w/out looking glittery or super pale. They complement a
smokey eye very well! You always want a nuder, lighter and shimmery
color on lips when you have a dark eye color. This
helps you not lose your focus on the eyes. You can also purchase these
at any big box store or drugstore for a couple dollars.

Purple Smokey Eye on Lindz:



Sorry for the horrible pic! It was honestly gorgeous in person!

She looked amazing. I used black shadow (smudged into
lash line-Drugstore brand palette), then used a purple color
on the inside of lid and middle area (some cheapy purple palette I
got our local $1 store!), then I smoked the two colors
together using a shimmery black color (also from the $1 store palette). 
I then highlighted with white
shimmer. I added a lengthening mascara at the end and topped off
with a shimmery peachy pink color on the lip:)
Enjoy! xxxASH


Here is a listing of other great smokey & bright eye colored looks:

Fave Blushers & Bronzers:

Two Faced Leopard Love Bronzers  I love these
because you can build your depth of color. You can make
your face a lil' tan with some pink
above your cheek bones or do a tan all over the face,
build your cheek bones with a darker shade, then highlight
with shimmer above the cheek bone! :) Super pretty!

N.Y.C Color Wheel Mosaic Powder
Super pretty colors and really affordable. Available
at any drugstore. I use this as a staple in my everyday
makeup!

Wet n' Wild Ultimate Minerals Bronzer
By far is my favorite mineral bronzer. It doesn't cake on!
Its super light and natural. Not orange at all! Such a
great product for being so affordable!
Stila Shimmer Luminizer  I purchased this after
a friend gave me two bottles. It's sold at Sephora.
It's affordable and once you try it, you will fall in love!
It's a gold shimmer. Light and super beautiful! I love this because
you can use it on your shoulders in the summer or
in the pool! So pretty! Add to your favorite foundation for a
luminescent glow!

Foundation Faves:

Coastal Scents Eclipse  Concealer Palette
The pink and green shades are great for smoothing out
discolored skin, irritated skin and acne spots/redness.

Graftobian

Makeup Forever  Concealer Palette
I love these palettes because you can build them
for a heavier coverage or use them solely as concealer.
Sold @
Sephora

Maybelline Super Stay Makeup  foundation $9.99 in drug
stores. This foundation makes skin flawless all day, with
micro-flex that will provide 24hr. wear
w/ no transfer. It w/stands heat, sweat and humidity. Oil
free and dermatologist tested. Great for all skin types! My FAVE :)





These are a few of my favorite foundation palettes for when I'm working. They are conveniently packaged and accessible when I need them. The single foundation bottle is my favorite foundation for everyday coverage for myself. I can use it to build a heavier foundation coverage or use a smaller amount for a more natural look. So far it's my personal favorite. I would definitely recommend running to your local drugstore and purchasing it. I can compare it to several expensive name-brand foundations and it's quality is just as good and maybe even better in my opinion.
