This or that:

I use a variety of make-up; my routine includes these:

Lipstick or Lip-gloss?

Lipstick/lip-stain  for parties, nights out, and special events. I never use lip gloss anymore - too messy. I usually use chap-stick. My favorite lip balm/chapsticks and lipsticks are by L'Oreal!

L'Oreal Colour Caresse lip balm with a hint or *glow* of color! Feels like butter on your lips and is the ultimate moisturizer! Pluss its got SPF in it to keep your lips safe from the damaging UV rays! Just apply some before a day out in the sun and slip it into your purse/clutch/ bag and have it with you on the go for the best sun, wind, and chap resistance!



Liquid Eyeliner or Pencil Eyeliner?

I use liquid eyeliner because I find that it leaves a much smoother and flowing line. And its perfect for cat eye! However it does take lots of patience, practice and a steady hand! Yet the pencil liner tends to be chalky and not so smooth...

I like all of Maybelline's eye makeup so I usually use their eyeliner, as well as L'Oreal! I also love to use colorful eye liner and glitter eye liner :)


Liquid Foundation or Pressed Foundation?

Actually I use both! Yes some of us do this - others think its too much. But for me, I need the coverage! I have blemish, freckles, and minimal acne scars...so I double action is best! Plus layering and blending the pressed foundation on the liquid foundation keeps your complexion from appearing greasy or sweaty on hot summer days; likewise it keeps it from "melting".

These are what I use, by Maybelline. The foundation is a airfoam formula! Its amazing!

Volume Enhancing  Mascara or Lengthening Mascara?

I dont have very long lashes, instead I've got lots of volume with minimal length. So of course I choose lengthening mascara...but my favorite lengthening one is actually a 2 in 1...

The L'Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lashes™ Mascara. I mentioned this mascara in one of my other posts . Its both "Voluminous" and length enhancing. The formula contains fibers that rap around your lashes protecting and lengthening them. The results are near miraculous lol.. They truly quadruple the length of you lashes. They look like real falsies..if that makes any  sense..Anyway if you try this you will be proud to bat those lashes girl! I definitely recommend this :) 

Pressed eye-shadow or creme-gel eye-shadow?

Knowing me, I'm kinda clumsy...so I'm better off using the pressed eye-shadow. However when I'm not applying it myself, I find the creme eye-shadow very pretty and long lasting. But I also dont like how messy it can be..or is that only me? I just haven't much experience with it ;)

I love to use any eye-shadow by L'Oreal or Maybelline or CG. Revlon I find clumpy and too textured. My favorite shades are by Elf! :) 

Bronzer or Blush?

Definitely bronzer!! I dont think blush fits me..something about my facesshape and the shade of my skin & complexion.. 

 I like to use Maybelline's bronzer!

Applying with brush or sponge?

Most always brush! Better at contouring, blending, and everything! The only makeup sponges I do like are the beautyblending egg shaped make up sponges..but these only work with certain blending and contouring. So  really all I use are brushes. 

I like Sephora's brushes! 

So all in all you can imagine what the inside of my makeup bag looks like? Lots of L'Oreal & Maybelline - yes. And lots of variety! Hope you like!! :)
