Updated Foundation Routine!! (Drugstore)

Hey guys so before I get started I just wanted to say HELLO again haha...I know it has been awhile actually almost a year before I have posted on here but I plan on posting more frequently about life, beauty and what not. So anyways without further adue here is my updated drugstore foundation routine!!


So first thing I like to do is apply my moisturizer and I am in love with this product it is the Garnier Nutrisse Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream for Normal/Combo skin. This retails for 5.99 and you can get it HERE. I apply this all over my face and then I let that sit and absorb into my skin which literally takes seconds and I just bought my second jar!

^ OBSESSED with this ^

Next I apply my concealer which is the Revlon Colorstay Concealer. This product retails for 9.59 and you can pick it up HERE. I use it in the sahde 02 Light. This is the first time I have ever used this product and so far I am enjoying it, but I can't tell you all of my thoughts on it just yet. Be on the lookout for the review. But I apply this to any redness I might have on my face which is currently my T-zone. I blend that all in with a beauty blender ( which mine is a knockoff but I love it) 

^ Good Coverage ^

Now time for my foundation I am currently using Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 and I am in the shade Classic Ivory. This retails for 9.99 and you can purchase it HERE. This is my second bottle of this foundation but I kind of took a break from it and I definitely missed it! This has medium to full coverage and I will be doing a more indepth review of this product in a seperate blogpost probably coming out sometime this week. But anyways I will apply this anywhere that I feel needs more coverage and my cheeks because I don't have any redness on my cheeks and I will either blend that out with my beauty blender or I will blend it out with a Sonia Kashuk Buffing Brush (but that hasn't been my go to lately.)

^ Full Coverage ^

Then I go under my eyes with that same concealer again and I tap it out with my finger and then my beauty blender!

Now to set everything so it last all day!! I use the Loreal Paris True Match Naturale Mattifying Mineral Finish Powder. I am not over the moon about this product but it's getting the job done. Literally I went through my makeup collection and I found this and thought I would use it up. I like it and I don't if you would like an indepth review just let me know in the comments!! This product retails for 10.00 and you can purchase it HERE. I just tap that into my face with a large powder brush and I mostly put it on my T-zone and under my eyes.

^ Okay ^

That is pretty much it for my foundation routine, drugstore edition! I am currently listening to blank space by TSwift which is suprisngly good haha!! Anyways if you have any questions about anything here let me know in the comments! Love ya and I hope you have a great weekend loves!! <3 Emily

The Good and The Bad Nail Art

Hey guys, a while ago I started doing a series specifically for nail art products on the market! The good and the bad nail art series! This is my second post about I will link you to the first one right HERE. In that post I covered a lot of different brands of nail art stripers! So if you would like to know my thoughts on several brands of nail stripers, then check it out. I will be uploading a video for this tonight so be sure to check out my YouTube channel and subscribe for an upcoming GIVEAWAY! CLICK HERE for the video!

Alright now let's go ahead and get into the reviews:

These are the Sally Hansen Salon Effects. So these I don't care for, they never seemed to stick to my nails and they dry out very easily. You can't just use one of the strips because the rest will all dry out and you can't let them sit around for a month because mine dried out. The butterfly one and the leopard print one, I didn't even open, when I went to try them they were all dried out. I was very disappointed because of that. These retail for 9.99 and you can get these practically anywhere.

The things that come in this little kit are instructions, a nail file, small orange stick and two packs of the nail polish strips. Again these retail for $9.99 and you can get these anywhere.

Now these are the Kiss Nail Dress Stickers. They have many different styles and I really do like these! Now what I am showing you is actually some samples but I have used these before and they work great. They stick to my nail perfectly and very cute! They don't dry out and if you only want to use one you can! These retail for $6.99 and you can get these at local drugstores. I really recommend these for anyone.

Now this is the Konad Stamping Nail Art. Now this I am on the fence about I like everything but the fact that they tell you that you need the special polishes. You don't need the special polishes, you can really use any polish if you'd like. I have found that Revlon works well and so does OPI even China Glaze. But another thing I don't like is that everything is separate. You have to buy the plates separate and all of that. I have found these cheaper online. Shany Cosmetics is one of them and really if you just google there are a lot of different company's that are much more inexpensive.

Some of the colors that I have are white,mint green and lilac. These polishes retail for about 6.00 each.

I also have a blue and a pink. These brushes in the bottle are very short and these polishes are only meant to be used on the stamping plates, you can't use these to paint your nails with.

I also have yellow and a burnt orange color. They are pigmented and they do work but they aren't worth it.

These are the stamping plates, they aren't very big and the designs are very cute.

Now this is the stamper you can buy, it has a small side and a larger side. Also you get a scraper and a plastic piece to hold your stamping plate.

Finally the last thing I wanted to talk about was:

The Red Carpet Manicure Nail Art Kits. I really really like these and these are such a great deal! These retail for $30.00 each but trust me they are completely worth it!

These come with 3 nail polishes, which alone retail for $10.00 each.

Now I have different kits, I have all of the ones that are permanent as well as the limited edition ones! I have white and gray chunky glitter and a fine black glitter.

I am showing you gold chunky glitter and the other two are mixed glitters, they have fine glitter and chunky glitter as well as iridescent glitter.

 Again just some more glitter mixes that came in the sets. In each set it comes with 3 glitter mixes and these retail for about 2.00 each.

Then you might also get a rhinestone wheel and they can retail for $4.00.

In each set you also get sticker decals and a little cuticle pusher. Which is the little pink thing.

The last couple of items you get in the sets are a brush and a dotting tool! So that is everything I wanted to cover I will be uploading a video for this so please check out my channel and all of my links will be down below!
