My Make-up Essentials


Hey, girls! Hope y'all had a great weekend! We didn't do much of anything on Saturday besides tuning into the Razorback/Ole Miss game. Our boys did NOT look their best and for a while, we definitely thought Ole Miss might take the game. We ended up making a comeback in the second half though and won - woot!

Next weekend, we take on Vanderbuilt, so hopefully we come out of the gates ready to whoop some tail : )

What I wore on Saturday to cheer on our Hogs!

So A LOT of you have followed up the eye makeup video tutorial with A LOT of questions about the rest of my face, haha. For the record, a lot of you asked about my hair too, which is really just a happy accident. Seriously, it looks different every day and I never really know from day to day how it's going to turn out. So, I dunno about vlogging that...

I am, however, more than happy to tell y'all what's on my face! Without further rambling, here's the list:





1. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation in Sand
2. Make-up Forever HD Powder
3. Smashbox HD Concealer in Fair/Light
4. Too Faced Sun Bunny Carribean in a Compact Bronzer
5. Nars blush in Angelika

Honestly, I spend more time on my skin than my eyes or lips. I really do think that a great base makes or breaks your make-up look, so I concentrate the majority of my time in the morning to creating a smooth, even complexion.

I use Lancome's Galatee Confort Comforting Milky Creme Cleaner and Mary Kay's Timewise Age Fighting Moisterizer Every. Morning. And. Night.


I also use Lancome's Genefique before my moisturizer to help prevent fine lines and wrinkles. My pale, Irish skin with freckles needs all the preventative help it can get, haha!





1 and 2. MAC Cosmetics Eye Shadows in Retrospeck and Satin Taupe
3. Revlon Luxurious Color Kohl Eyeliner in Black (Target or Wal-Mart should carry it.)
4. Make-Up Forever Smoky Lash mascara
5. LipFusion Infatuation in Lip Jolie
6. Loreal Hip Eyeshadow in Sculpted (Target or Wal-Mart should carry it.)

And there you have it!





Before I go, I need to say a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my husband/best friend/confidante/dad to our German Shepards/partner in crime/very own Tim Tebow look-alike, Stephen. I love you so much and am so excited to grow old and sit on porches with you. You are my heart, darling! 

Be blessed, lovelies-

  3. I LOVE the Mary Kay Moisturizer. It is never greasy and makes my skin so soft. I have been wanting to try the NARS blush. Several of my friends have recommended it. Happy birthday to your hubby! He does look a lot like Tim:)

  5. Love it! Thanks so much for sharing!! I use the double wear foundation too and it's one of my favorites. I usually don't wear any make-up except mascara unless it's a special occasion, but I'm always needing new ideas.

    Hope you have a great day! And happy birthday to your husband!

  8. I LOOOVE these posts of yours. I'm always looking to try new makeup/skincare products, and it's definitely nice to have the seal of approval for particular M.A.C. eyeshadow colors before I buy them. Most are wonderful, but I've crashed and burned with a few. (Although I probably should have known that Chrome Yellow wouldn't be very lovely. :))

  20. GIRL is that a dress... meaning is your outfit one piece purchased together or did you pair an adorable skirt w/ that hogs shirt. Either way absolutely fabulous and this Tide fan is jealous! I always think that Auburn, LSU, and Arkansas has the BEST gear and AL's is always a bit flat... minus the houndstooth which I adore. Such a rocking football fan you are! ox
