Review | Dior Lipstick

Do you follow me on snapchat | amstone10 | if so then you know about my new obsession with this lipstick.. if you don't follow me- well I took 9 billion pictures with it!!

I went into Sephora  to purchase ONE THING.. ladies are you with me on this! Yet left with a big shopping bag later. I did however purchase this lipstick in hopes of wearing it at the wedding! It is the perfect shade for that "I'm wearing lipstick but I want you to think I'm really not' look. 

This lipstick in person has peachy tones, but once on your lips has such a sheer glide, it is quite flawless.

Make Up Expiration Dates

I'm definitely guilty of hoarding makeup.. even past it's expiration date. But to me, unless I run out of it, or decide to switch to something different, there is no need to toss it out.. right? Well it turns out you should switch up your make up and that most products do actually have expiration dates. Bacteria can grow on your mascara and then you touch it to your eyes.. EW. Check out some of the expiration dates I found for your everyday make up routine.

Some of these dates may vary depending on the climate you keep them in also.  Some liquids may dry up quicker if you keep them in a bag or drawer everyday.  So,how about a trip to Sephora soon :)

Awful Site or A Blessing??

It's early in the morning. You just dried your hair. You go to apply your make up. You look down and see this>>

That's right. A hole forming in your concealer/ bronzer/ foundation. Now what.

Is this a blessing>> trip to Sephora is needed!!!

Is this awful >> WHYYYYYY now!!!

You make the decision!

At the point I am at right now.. to me this is a "nooo, why now" kinda moment. I've been so busy that don't have time to fit a trip to Sephora into my schedule.

I'd love to hear how you deal this the dreadful 'hole in your makeup'

Daily Makeup Routine

I get many compliments on my make-up or lack there of. My whole life I've been blessed/cursed with freckles.  Growing up I hated them, even going as far to scrub my face three times daily thinking they would "Fade" away.. Lately I've learned to embrace them. They are not going away, and hey just think if they connect, I'll have the best tan in town!  I thought I would share with you my daily makeup routine! I am very picky about what I put on my skin, so unless I have a blemish I NEVER use concealer and to be honest only own sample packets from Sephora!!  (Please excuse the quality of the photo's until I get a more professional camera!!)

My makeup if very basic for a daily wear.  

Base powder/Bronzer:  Benefit's Too Faced 

Blush: Benefit's Fine One One

Mascara: Benefit Bad Gal Lash

Eye Shadow: Urban Decay Naked Basics Pallet

(can you tell I'm a Benefit Junkie)

Always start with a clean, dry face. 

First I apply Too Faced- Chocolate Soleil powder to entire face. Use powder brush and be sure to blow excess powder off before applying.

Isn't my brush holder the cutest from Target

I'm literally hooked on Benefits Fine One One after reading about it in a magazine!

Simply start at apple of cheek bone and swipe up towards end of eyebrow you will get a strip of the three different color's: a brightener, a color, and a contour blended all together makes this great blush! Rub with finger upward toward brow until you get desired color

(directions say you can apply to lips too, but I'll stick to my lipsticks for that!)

Next apply two-three coats of mascara to each eye. I prefer Benefit Bad Gal Lash because of the big barrel for the brush. I am terrified of using a eyelash curler (I can't even put drops in my eyes and you want me to put the contraption near my face!!)  so the bigger barrel curls my lashes!

I use Naked 2- third one from right

Lastly I add some neutral eye shadow from my Naked pallet and there you have it.. I told you I like to go the natural look during the week :o) 

Hope you enjoyed!
