WISH LIST

WISH LIST by carcrashbree 

So this is my Christmas wish list. I know what you're thinking

but! In my defense, these products are long lasting and sooo worth it haha. 
Okay, so I went to Sephora last night and picked up the NARS tinted moisturizer(I'm in the shade Alaska), because my Kat Von D foundation was starting to cake up on my dry patches, and it got to the point where I hardly used it since I couldn't use it around my nose and cheeks. While I was there the lady that was helping my friend and I, told me that Hourglass is the brand that gets returned more than any other. I couldn't believe it! Why?! We don't have Hourglass in our Sephora since its part of JCP and its pretty small. So I was going to order it. But after that it makes me nervous. Not nervous enough to keep it off my wish list though. *insert emoji wearing sunglasses*
The others are honestly products that I want, but just don't want to spend the money on. Besides the beauty blender, mine is gross so I may end up just picking one up next time I'm out.
As far as the lipsticks, I've heard amazing things about the new NARS lipsticks. And come on, could you pass up a lipstick with packaging like YSL?
If I could buy just banana from the Anastasia contour palette, I would definitely be trying to get my hands on it. But it's only available in the palette. for now. I hope that later on we're able to purchase it on its own.

What's on your beauty wish list?

DAILY MAKEUP

So I thought I would do something beauty related. I have been having the craziest month so far and I'm honestly just ready for all of this to be over cos I'm getting kind of overwhelmed. Anyways, I did start doing my makeup again when I got this new job but since I've been so exhausteddd I have been slacking. 

This is what my go-to makeup is on the weekend pretty much. I go back and forth between doing concealer or foundation first. I apply both in smears or spots to my face and blend it out with a damp beauty blender(HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT BTW) Then I usually move to my eyebrows and just fill them in, usually around the arch and tail area. I don't like them to be so heavy in the front. After that I apply some bronzer, I have been using Hoola by Benefit, in the hollows of my cheeks. I lightly dust blush on the apples of my cheeks after that. The color I've been using is Unleashed by Tarte, and if I'm not mistaken its only sold in this disk palette which was limited edition.(I'm sure you could still find the palette SOMEWHERE). I'm not big on highlighting if I'm going to be out all day, just because I tend to get really oily. When I get done with that I dab a very small amount of eye primer to my lids, I use the Lorac Behind The Scenes primer that came with a palette. I choose 2-3 shadows out of my Naked 2 palette and blend. Blending is so so important. It's very time consuming but the end result is always worth it. When I finish with my eye lids, I like to line my lash line with the Lorac Front Of The Line Pro eyeliner. Okay, THIS is also a holy grail product. This is something I can see myself purchasing over and over again. I absolutely love it. Then I just curl my lashes a bit and add mascara to make my lashes look more full. I don't care for them to look very long, but I do love the added volume. And last, but definitely not least; lipstick. I don't splurge too often on lipsticks cos I've found some really long lasting drugstore lipsticks. This Maybelline 14 hour lipstick will last me all day even if I'm sipping on some coffee! I usually try to remember to line my lips and fill them in first with a similar shade lip liner. I tend to gravitate towards the Sephora liners, they do the trick and last forever! 
All of the products can be found below.
