Show and Tell Tuesdays: Beauty Routine

Today I'm linking up with one of my favorite bloggers, Andrea, to join in on her Show and Tell Tuesdays. This week it is all about Beauty Routines, and I thought it sounded like fun! I am no beauty expert, and my motto is to spend as little of time putting on makeup as possible. So here's my routine!

I need to start off by saying this is my Summer Routine. I wanted to wear less face makeup, think NO foundation, but I have less than perfect skin. I bought some Jergen's Self Tanner Moisturizer for my face to help even out my skin tone, and give my face some color. (After the Dermatologist nightmare from earlier this year, I have become hardcore about sunscreen and keeping my face out of the sun)

I'm happy to say the Self Tanner is working and I do not look like Oompa Loompa! * My Junior year roomies and suitemates are relieved at this point.* I put on the self tanner in the evenings, maybe every other day, or when i remember to do it :)

After I get out of the shower and brush my teeth, I put moisturizer on while I am getting dressed, so it can soak into my skin before putting on my makeup. Right now I'm using this Aveeno one, which I received as a sample from Crowdtap and I really like it! Perfect for my sensitive skin.

Next up I slap some of Dr Brandt's Pores no More on my nose. I received it as a sample in my Birchbox a long time ago, it really helps even out my pores!
Another Birchbox find (sensing a theme here??) is Juice Beauty's Finishing powder. It's all natural and smells like fruit, which takes a little getting used to. I dust some of this all over my face to help even out the redness and cover the shine from my oily skin!

 After that if I'm wearing eyeshadow I will put primer on my lids, again, super oily eyes! This is the one i'm using and loving right now.
 Doesn't look so cute inside but you get the picture!

 If I feel like wearing eye shadow I will grab my latest favorite Palette, the Revealed (1) from again, Birchbox. It's very close to the Naked 1 and at a fraction of the price at 19.95!
Lots of great neutral tones. Perfect for summer!
 Eyeshadow or no eye shadow I always wear eye liner. Today I went with no eyeshadow and instead did a pretty blue eye liner. Colored eyeliner alone is one of my favorite tricks to look pulled together but really not be wearing much eye makeup! #lazy

My favorite liquid eye liner is Eeyko Eye Duo also from Birchbox.
 Mascara at the moment is Passion Eyes by D&G. I think I received it as a sample during a Sephora order and I love it! I usually wear 2 mascaras at once, one to lengthen my puny lashes and another to bulk them up. This is doing the job nicely!
And finally, my eyebrow pencil. I got this in another beauty box, it's IT Cosmetics and it is really nice! One end is the pencil, which adjusts to your hair shade (so fancy) and the other end is the spooly. I have never used a spooly on my eyebrows before but now i'm hooked! It really helps blend the makeup in and make them look natural.  My brows have turned blondeish and thanks to over plucking in my college years they are not very full or thick! Kids, don't over pluck your brows. #lifewisdom

So those are my beauty favorites for summer of 2015! It takes me about 10 mins to put on, 15 if i do eyeshadow. Fast and Easy but also put together!

I was surprised at how good the Revealed Palettes are. I only have the #2, but I really like it better than my naked 3.

You have some fun favorites!

I have the 2 as well, several of the tones were a bit too pinky for my skin tone. But I am LOVING the 1!! I like the quality of the revealed ones better than the naked! It doesn't take much product to get a good color on your eyes.

I love Jesus & Sephora!!

 I am not a morning person. There are very few things I will get up early for. Friday morning I got up while it was still dark outside. My alarm went off at 6:45 am and let me tell you I have not seen that time for a very very long while! However, something really exciting was happening that morning! Sephora came to Tippecanoe Mall! THATS RIGHT FOLKS SEPHORA!!!!!!!! I love me some Sephora! Yes, it is expensive, but the quality is amazing, and in reality I spend less on Sephora products than trying to find something that works with my wacky skin at the drug store. I have been looking forward to this for weeks. I set my alarm early and ran out the door in a hurry! I got to the mall at 8:02 am. Sephora was opening at 10. I was not the first person there! I was about the 12'th person there and at first we were all smushed into this doorway which was really not comfortable at all. Thankfully the kind people at JcPenney let us inside the store so we could line up outside of Sephor...

Who needs a Knuckle anyway?!

 If you are squeamish and do not like pictures of fingers stitched up, now would be the time to close this post and come back another day!  I put this picture of my struggling get up for my shower first so that no one has to see the stitches if they don't want to. Call me kind :) Also, this get up did not work at keeping my finger dry.  So last night i was opening a box of books, and accidentally opened my knuckle as well. It's funny, it didn't really hurt at the moment. I felt it of course, but it wasn't horrible pain. Blood started gushing and I ran for the bathroom to get some tp on it and bandaids. I do NOT do well with blood and seeing all of it made me a tad bit light headed. I managed to find some gauze and tape and after looking at my finger and noticing that i could see INSIDE my finger and the knuckle skin was WIDE open, I almost passed out. hahahaha.. it was GROSS! I dr'd up my finger and tried to decide if it would heal on it's o...
