{everyday summer makeup products}

hello lovelies!

happy Saturday to you all! like i mentioned in my previous post, i am back and i have a lot in store for my blog, beginning this summer! today's post is an everyday summer makeup product post for you guys. 95% of the time, i don't wear an abundance of makeup, and especially in the summer, i try and do a more natural look. 


here are the products that i will be discussing today:

                                       

- Great Lash Lots of Lashes Mascara:
the first person to introduce me to this mascara was Lindsey Hughes (@beautybaby44 on YouTube) and she constantly praises this mascara, and says it is the best drugstore mascara out there. after hearing her share about it, i thought i would pick it up the next time i went to Target and just see what she was talking about. well, she is completely right. it is such a great mascara. i've used it for about 2 months now, and it's wonderful. it stays on all day, but also is easily removed with my Simple makeup remover wipes. if you haven't found a mascara that you love, i highly suggest picking this up because it is fantastic!   

                                


- B&BW Body Spray (Paris Amour):
now, this specific product, i do not use every day. i use a variety of body sprays. however, i just picked this up at Bath & Body Works and i love the swell. it has a sweet, summery feel to it that just smells like summer. when people smell good, you take notice and so i always want to make sure i'm smelling fresh. i highly suggest this body spray, along with Love Spell from Victoria's Secret. 




- Maybelline Eyeshadow Palette (Lavender Lights):
eyeshadow is one of the most important makeup products to me, because i feel like whenever someone does their eyeshadow well, it makes the rest of your makeup stand out and it just adds to much to your eyes. this palette i have used for about 2 months, and i love it so much. i love that it has such a variety of options in such a small palette. i also love that i purchased this at my local Target for less than $5. 




- CoverGirl Compact Pressed Powder:
i'm not a huge fan of concealer or foundation. while i know it works well, i really don't have many breakouts if any, so its not a huge need for me. that's what this is such a great thing. it not only helps me when i get red faced for being super nervous or just awkward, but it helps cover any small blemishes that i may have. like the other products i have mentioned, i purchased this at my local Target and it was very inexpensive.


i hope you all enjoyed this post! comment below with your favorite summer makeup products, and what you guys thought about this post!

all the love,

i'm sorry that i went on a hiatus during the springtime. to be honest, life just got the best of me and i had no time to devote to blogging, which made me super sad. however, i am back and better than ever! 

quick life update for you all: i am officially a high school graduate! i plan to attend the University of Illinois and i couldn't be more excited! things couldn't be better right now, honestly. 

anyways, let's get to the REAL point of this post: a summer preview! i have so many great ideas planned for my blog this summer. my best friend Scarlett (go check out her blog right now if you haven't already - thetrendychick.blogspot.com) and I were talking last night and we both have a bunch of ideas coming your way this summer!
