Diana's Everyday Makeup

When I say everyday, I really mean EVERYDAY.  My makeup look rarely changes.  I have enough makeup to switch up my look, but I still don't do it.  

Why is my makeup always the same?

• I like the "no makeup look" that I get from these products.
• This make up look is quick and easy to apply.
• It's neutral and compliments my face.

So let's get into what I use.

Face

• Big Easy liquid to powder makeup by Benefit cosmetics- I have a separate blog post about this.
• For concealer I use Maybelline's Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer.  I love this because it brightens under my eyes and it also covers blemishes on my face.  I am amazed that this one product can do both.  It is creamy and easy to blend.
• MAC Mineralize Blush in Warmth of Coral (Limited Edition)- I love this blush because it compliments my skin tone.  I am naturally tan and have a warm undertone,  I have a difficult time figuring out what goes well with my skin.  However, by now I know that coral goes well with my skin.  When I want something a bit brighter I use Coralista by Benefit Cosmetics.

Eyes

• I have very oily eyelids so I have to use eyeshadow primer. I use NARS smudge proof eyeshadow base.  This product is amazing.  I am honestly speaking when I say that my eyeshadow lasts all day and never creases because of this primer.  This primer is on the pricey side but it is completely worth it.
• I like to use matte eyeshadows because they do not have fall out like shimmery eyeshadows.  I use the dark brown (Faint) in my Naked Basics Palette all over my eye lid and bring it up to the crease a bit.  Then I apply a lighter brown over the dark brown on my eyelid.  If I feel that I need and extra sparkle then I also add MAC's All That Glitters eyeshadow.  This is still neutral and subtle.  It is great quality and there is never any fall out from the glitter.  
• * Sometimes I use Venus from my Naked Basics palette as a highlighter on my cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of my nose. 
• Next, I put eyeliner on my upper lash line.  This is the only thing that changes (between brown and black).  I usually use a brown Kohl eyeliner by Rimmel London.  If I feel like I want my eyes to be more defined then I use a black liquid eyeliner.  My favorite is L'OREAL's The Super Slim in Black.  For a softer look, I use a black Kohl eyeliner by CHANEL.

Eyebrows

• I always use Maybelline's Brow Drama sculpting brow mascara.  It is easy to apply and takes me a few seconds to use.

Sniff Sniff Hooray: My Favorite Scents

I would like to start out by saying that I freaking love perfume. I love the pretty bottles and using them as decor. Scents change who you are and they give a lasting impression on people. So today, I’d like to share with you my favorite scents.

Let’s start with my newest favorite, Chloé Eau de Parfum Spray

Isn’t the packaging just adorable? Gah, I’m obsessed! Anyway, I stalked this perfume at Sephora, Macy’s, and wherever I could find it for months. I really don’t know why it took me so long, but the deciding factor was its amazing staying power. I once sprayed this perfume on my scarf, and I kid you not, it stayed on my scarf the entire winter. This scent is very flowery but not overpowering, its feminine and sophisticated. I find that the scent gets better the longer it is on you. It is the perfect scent for spring, summer, and every season. 


My next favorite is Versace Bright Crystal

I am obsessed with how this smells. It is subtle and fresh, I use this as my daily perfume and never get tired of it. It has fruity, flowery, and musky tones to it so I think it appeals to many women's taste. I would also like to mention I got my bottle for free at Sephora, who doesn't love free things?

Let's move on to a classic, Chancel Chance Eau Tendre

This has been a favorite of mine for years. My mom has the regular Chanel Chance and I always loved it, but I found that it was too womanly for me. So I got the next best thing, a lighter version of the classic. The staying power on this is amazing, all you need is one quick spritz and your set for the rest of the day. I think this may be my signature scent...for now. ;)
