Hello my lovelies! I recently did a little shop at my local Nordstrom Rack and was incredibly amazed by the huge selection of prestige beauty products that were there for half the actual retail price! So I picked up this holiday set from 2015 (I mean discounted Smashbox? Who cares if it's from last year haha) and I am so happy with these products. I know these products aren't limited edition anyway so I thought that it would be appropriate to do a little review on them! I bought the set for eight dollars at Nordstrom Rack.
Smashbox is a new discovery of mine. I know it's been around for a long time but, I have never had the courage to try out their products. When I saw this set (they also had some of the eye and lip holiday sets as well), I was very surprised. My friends always ask me like "Hey where's the best place to buy really good makeup?" and I'm like "Nordstrom Rack!". They have the best makeup products their for so little! Brands like Lorac, Stila, Laura Mercier, Nars, The Body Shop, Urban Decay and many others are there as well!
Hey everyone! So last week I was struggling with a very bad cold. Ugh! My nose was stuffed, throat hurt, my lungs were tight, my head pounding all the time, I couldn't focus in school and I barely got any rest. So finally now that's all over and done with for this season, (because I know a ton of people who have gotten sick over the past couple weeks) here are the things I used and some extra necessities you should use when you're a bit under the weather...or a lot.
Only one more day until Valentine's Day! Who else is excited? This is my last Valentine's post and I am excited to share this look and these products with all of you. Valentine's Day is centered with pinks and reds so this look can be manipulated depending on your skin or personal preference.
I just recently purchased this Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and I fell in love at first drop. It's so silky and smooth but, it gives the right amount of coverage that doesn't feel like you've put a huge cake on your face. It's light and I love it! I also just bought the ever-so-popular, Urban Decay Primer Potion. I was so excited to see what all the fuss was about. I tried it under my eye shadow a couple times and wore it during an eight hour school day. Only minimal creasing (because I had gym class and I sweat a lot that day) was seen but, overall it's a really great primer. The Wet'n'Wild eye shadow palettes have also been my faves this year and I have also done a more in-depth review here. They're so creamy and last so long on the lid!
To go over the foundation and all of the face makeup, this NYC mosaic blush powder has been my go-to. It's a very light sort of sheer rose color with hidden gold in it. You literally look like a goddess when you wear it. Who wouldn't want that? Especially on Valentine's Day. It gives the perfect pink glow without being too overpowering on the cheeks.
Using one of my favorite mascaras for this look because on Valentine's Day having the best looking eyes is key. The Rocket by Maybelline has to be my favorite mascara out of all the ones they have in their product line. I found the most volume using this mascara and minimal flakiness. The Smashbox eyeliner is also a new addition to my makeup family and I really like it. It's very smooth and very easy to apply. I will be doing a review on Smashbox very soon!
To top it all off, a nice, subtle pink-nude lipstick (or red if you prefer) to make your Valentine's Day a perfect one. Maybe paint your nails a bright red or pink too?! Whatever you choose, I hope you guys enjoyed this little makeup look/review and find some Valentine's Day inspiration! You can probably wear this look any other day as well.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Xoxo, Nat
