Today


Today's look was a relatively simple one. My skin was screaming for a break so I went pretty easy on the face makeup.  I started with L'Oreal BB cream. It tends to be a little on the orange side, so I used it very sparingly just to give myself a slight base. I didn't use any foundation or powder today.


The bronzer I ordered from Clinique hasn't shipped yet, but I did find this VERY old bronzer in my kit. I usually use this palette's blush, but I was happy to find it had a bronzer as well. I couldn't even tell you how old this is.  NOT a best practice, but the blush has treated me well over the years, so I imagined the bronzer would be safe too.   

I brushed the bronzer over my cheeks, a tiny bit on my forehead, and slightly on my chin. 


I brushed a tiny bit of Glow by E.L.F. on my cheeks, in the spots untouched by the bronzer. I like this color because it's a very subtle shimmer and isn't overbearing. 


I have very sensitive eyes and I was able to find a company that specialized in mascara that was not only for sensitive eyes, but was gluten-free as well. It's called Honeybee Gardens. I play it safe when it comes to lip and eye products because I figure gluten is more likely to be absorbed there, and I can't have gluten.  

I also used Urban Decay primer and Too Faced Naturals palette (not pictured) on my eyes.


I finished off my look with this free ulta lip crayon sample I received.


And topped the lip crayon off with lip gloss from the same gluten-free company that sold me the mascara - Honeybee Gardens, gloss in Glam I Am.


And here I am. The final look is natural with a bit of a glow, thanks to my bronzer, my new favorite product!


Most selfies will be in my car where I get the best lighting! 

Happy makeup-ing!

  1. ELF products are so great b/c they're so inexpensive it's fun to check out all of their products without your wallet screaming for sweet blessed mercy. I'm all about their eye make up remover pen.

    Your skin has a lovely glow! Have you always used bronzer?
