CoverGirl Ready Set Gorgeous Review + GRWM & pics from #1DOrlando

 Hey, Guys! So on My Youtube Channel today, I posted a Get Ready With Me Video where I just prepped myself with minimal Makeup for a pretty chill day as well as a First Impressions on the CoverGirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation.
So Tonight, I'm just going to finish off by telling you all how the Foundation held up and what my final thoughts are.

So, When I first applied it, it felt very light weight and it was pretty light coverage but definitely built up to medium coverage when I applied a second layer and that manages to cover up my blemishes flawlessly without making them look cakey or clinging to my dry spots.

My skin is combination, leaning more towards Dry but I do have an Oily T-zone and I was very surprised to find that such a light foundation didn't make me look oily at all.

This color blended in seamlessly into my skin, and if you're interested in this foundation I'm pretty sure You'll find a shade because they do have a pretty good selection.

I applied the Foundation around 2:30 and it is now around 10:30 so it's been a good eight hours and it still doesn't feel like I'm wearing anything but I am noticing some oil starting to peek through the surface. (Do Keep in Mind that I didn't apply any setting powder)

All in all I am very impressed with this foundation and I look forward to using it in the future. You can't go wrong with the price, it ranges from $7-8 which is incredible!

Here is the Video :)

I also wanted to include some Pics from my Weekend at Universal Orlando for One Direction's Album Release I talked about it more in depth in the video but basically it was tragic to say the least but it all paid off when I saw their beautiful faces and heard their angelic voices.

 (Yes, I saw Josh Devine and it was a very beautiful moment in my life)

Nail and Lip Combo for Every Woman | Elizabeth Martinez

Hello, Beauties!

-Trying to find the shade that best suits us can sometimes be a challenge therefor while pondering on the idea of which shade best suits ME I came to the conclusion that there is typically three types of women.

1) The " I'm all about the Business" woman

2) The Rebel

and 

3) The Plain Jane

No, you don't have to be just one. 

In fact, I think that I personally dive into each of these categories every once in a while.

To put it in perspective:

1) The "I'm all about that Business" woman doesn't want to be too overdone so she'll settle for a berry toned products on her lips and cheeks while utilizing pales and pastels on her nails. This says, "I have very important papers to sign on an everyday basis so my nails need to be easy to keep up with."

2) The Rebel is the woman every girl wishes to be. She wears dark lips and dark nails year round. No explanations. She does what she wants and she's not afraid to show her wild side.

3) Plain Jane. She would want her intro to be just like that. Don't think she's boring, she knows exactly what shes doing. By matching her lips precisely to the color of her nude nails, good ol' Plain Jane is telling the world that shes preparing to conquer it. One sleek move at a time.

What's In My Bag | School Days

 

 

 

   Hello, Everyone! Is it just me or do you also find yourself interested in what other people consider to be their "Must have" items in their bags/purses?

   I for one, feel extremely impressed with people who can leave the house with just their keys and their wallet while I have to leave with a little bit of everything.

   As you can see above I carry ALOT of stuff! But please keep in mind that I am a full time college student who wakes up at 7:30 am, does her makeup in the car, gets really hungry during the day, and uses up her battery within the first two hours.
Plus, I need keys,
a planner so I don't miss anything,
a headband because I'm a Floridian with frizzy hair and sometimes the fly aways are too much,
a wallet because I might need to buy something,
and My iPad because it comes in handy when my professor is going through the lecture really fast and I didn't get to jot down everything I wanted.
Pretty much the most basic school bag ever, but It's also extremely Truthful!

What are some things you can't live without in your bag?

If They've Turned Ugly, It Means I Love Them

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For a few weeks now I've been going back and forth on whether or not I should do monthly favorites or just show you what I love every now and then when a product really sticks out in my mind. So, I decided to go with the second option because that seems to be more reasonable and honest.
So for months now I have been utilizing these babies night and day no matter what the occasion is, I can honestly say that they are used EVERYDAY!

To start out I'd like to talk about the infamous CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation I believed the hype on this the second I saw the first Youtube video but MAN is this even better in real life! I have amazing coverage with just one application but if I'm working a long 6-8 hour shift I either put two applications of this foundation or change the second application to the CoverGirl TruBlend Liquid Makeup. The reason I do this is because the Stay Fabulous Foundation is completely matte so on the days that I want a more glowy look I'll add on a foundation that has dewy finish.

The Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo in 'Tough as Taupe' has been my savior FOREVER! literally for like the past 2 years, I'm actually getting ready to toss it because I can barely get anything out of it. I love using a dark color base on an everyday basis because I love seeing the difference that it make to a bronze or gold shadow. It actually make the colors appear more pigmented which then makes my eyes look extra glamorous without really having to do anything. Magic.

Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara is a product that I found about 3 months ago when I noticed that my brows weren't staying in place in picture which is a big NO-NO. I went online to search for the best product and this came up to be the most effective and inexpensive option; I bought it and love it! I can definitely tell that I'm getting good use out of it because it's slowly turning from clear to light brown which is disgusting but makes me sooo happy!

The reason it's turning that color is because I put the gel on top of my brow powder which I wish I could link to you all but sadly I think it's been discontinued. For .99 cents I have never enjoyed a makeup product this much, I've been using it for years and it doesn't run out! I just recently hit pan on it about a month ago.

A lipstick that I will never be able to live without it is MAC's Ruby Woo. This is my holy grail, can't live without, live and breathe for lipstick. Extremely red, flattering and long lasting, anything you could ever wish for! It is a bit difficult to get used to when you first get it because I do consider it to be a true matte shade, as in not even a little bit of smooth appearance.

Another product that I wish I could link for you guys is the CoverGirl LipSlick's. Sadly they have been discontinued as well and I have no idea why. They are so creamy and long wearing, I wish that they would re-package them and bring them back to life so that I could stock up! This is my "my lip color but better' product. It just accentuates my face when I need something to top off a look and it just makes me feel good all around :)
