My Everyday Makeup/Fragrance

The only makeup I ever wear is eye-makeup, with the exception of concealer when I need it. I always focus on my eyes because they're really tiny, due to my Asian genes. :P Anyways, the point is, I'm not a heavy make-up kind of person.

For concealer, I use Clinique's Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer in shade 03. I've been using this concealer since the summer of 2009, and I think it works really well. It lasts a fairly long time, so touch-ups aren't necessary throughout the day. Since concealer goes on the face, I tend to stay away from drugstore products since department store products are just better quality in my opinion.

On my eyes, I wear mascara, eyeliner, and the occasional eyeshadow.
The mascara I use is CoverGirl's LashBlast Luxe mascara in Black Emerald, which I have been using since January of this year. I love this mascara because it's got a slight shimmer to it, and it does a good job volumizing my lashes.
The eyeliner I use is Victoria's Secret eyeliner in Dark Chocolate, which I love! I've tried a lot of different eyeliners over the past three years, and this is definitely my favorite. It goes on smoothly and blends very well. I've been using this eyeliner for two years now.
I have three different eyeshadow palettes that I use:



Sepia Sand (Satin), Pink Flash (Shimmer), Iridescent Violet (Satin), Amethyst Spark (Shimmer)

I just recently got the CoverGirl eyeshadow in Urban Basics and the Estee Lauder palette, so I haven't used them for long. However, I love the colors in both of them. What I like about CoverGirl eyeshadow is that it's not extremely heavy and goes on slightly shimmery, which brightens your eyes.
When I use the Coffee Shop palette, I really only use the matte dark brown color and the shimmery creme color. The creme I apply on my inner corners and the dark brown I apply on the outer-thirds of my eyelid.
When I use the Urban Basics palette, I apply the shimmery white on my inner corners, the lilac in the center, and the shimmery brown on the outer corners. The brown in this palette is a little too light for me, so I usually apply the darker brown from Coffee Shop and apply the shimmery brown from this over it.
I love the Sepia Sand color in the Estee Lauder palette, and I will use it alone with just a dab of the Pink Flash(which goes on as more of a shimmery white) in my inner corners. Another color combination I use is Pink Flash on the inner corners, Amethyst Spark in the center, and Iridescent Violet on the outer-thirds.

Anyways, that's it for my makeup. For fragrances, I usually use one scent for a good two-three months before changing it up. Currently, I use Bath&Body Works' Paris Amour fragrance mist. I never use perfume unless it's a special occasion, and mists are light enough for school and every day use. My past favorites have been Victoria's Secret Pink's LIVE PINK and Victoria's Secret Pink's All My Heart, but sadly, both have been discontinued. :(

So I hope you enjoyed this post! I'm going to try to post at least once every other day... Personal goal right there.

Bye!
