Make up Discussion: My everyday favorite make up products

 

Hey dolls!

As i was getting ready i decided i wanted to write an entry and share my favorite products that i use in my daily make up routine so here it is i am going to simply post what products i use and on another post i will show you how i do my everyday make up using the products in the picture above! So look out for that entry soon :)  when i find a look that works for me i tend to go with it... i also enjoy trying different looks depending on the occasion as well as my mood. So lets get started:

• M.A.C. Studio sculpt in NC40 and NC42 i am in between colors so i use a drop off both pigments.
• M.A.C. 187 fiber brush- I LOVE this brush to apply my foundation gives me the best flawless look i always desire. 

• Physicians Formula  Yellow stick to help me with the dark under eye circles

• M.A.C. studio finish concealer in  NW25 Tip: you always want to go 2 shades lighter on your concealer to hide under eye circles and if you use mac you want it to be NW as opposed to NC you want warm.
• Neutrogena 3- in 1 concealer for eyes in Medium 15 i have major dark circles since having my daughter and those long nights i cant seem to catch up so i have to double in my concealer. 
• e.l.f contouring blush and bronzing powder- i absolutely LOVE this product very inexpressive and it reminds me of NARS Laguna and Orgasm but WAY cheaper!!! super convenient 2-1
• Physicians formula Shimmer strips- in Waikiki strip i love to use these as shadows and you can use it as a highlight as well multiple uses for a product is always a plus for on the go
• M.A.C iridescent Powder- in Golden bronze i love to use this on my cheeks as a highlight. night and day 
• L'oreal Voluminous mascara- in Black is my all time favorite mascara i will chose this over any mascara any day!
• NYX white liner- i love to apply this on my water line to help dilute my black eyeliner a little and add that extra wide eye look
• Milani Brow Fix- in medium i love this compact it is the best iv found so far and its priced very affordable.
• my favorite lip look i use daily is my M.A.C. Viva glam gaga Revlon color burst in Soft nude and my M.A.C. lip liner in  subculture 
• Urban Decay All nighter finishing spray- i like this a little more than MAC fix spray but i alternate. 

So there it is beauty's a few of my favorite items i MUST have in stock, now i do use these daily but i also use other products i will include in my daily make up routine post.  i like that a lot of these are affordable and easy to come across i believe i bought most of these at CVS but i am sure your closest drugstore would have these as well. I know elf may be a little hard to come across but you can always go on their website(click on link to view)http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ to view their products if you guys have any questions please feel free to ask me in the comments. 

I really hope you enjoyed this post i think it is always fun to see what products other people use because you never know what you are in the market for :)

Stay Fabulous!

Hello out there!

Hey Dolls!
I wanted to write a quick post a sort of introduction for lack of better words, I am new to all this blog stuff so bare with me! :) I thought I would introduce my self and tell you a little about me. The name is Dayana (pronouncing just like the normal spelling Diana) I love all things beauty, I love make up, fashion, hair the works! I really enjoy trying new products and experimenting with different looks! I am looking forward to being able to share with you guys my experiments as well as share a little about my self as I blog! I am considering starting a YouTube channel so I can share tutorials and let you in on more of what I am about! So lets get started! Like I said the name is Dayana I am 23 years old going on 24 next month!!! :) I am a mother of one, a BEAUTIFUL little girl we welcomed in September of 2010 and a wife to my soul mate! I live in gorgeous California, California girls do it best! :) lol! I love all things beauty! I love being able to pull together an outfit and get dolled up. I have a different outlook in regards to fashion, I love to try new things as far as fashion, the husband likes to tease me when I ask him what he thinks of certain articles I choose they seem to be random but when he see's it pulled together he cant help but give me props! lol! I don't really like to buy anything unless I can in vision the whole outfit from the attire, to the shoes, to the hair and face!  So any who I am thinking I want to discuss all sort of topics so lets see how this goes! I hope that with future blogs I can give you guys a glimpse of what I am about. I want to state that I am not a professional make up artist, or anything like that, I simply wanted to share "My" input on things and share my own ways on how to do. so how ever I do things is not going to be the "correct" way, simply how I do things for my self! I feel as though being a fashionista is a hobby of mine, I always have been complimented on my outfit choices, my girlfriends come to me with questions on all things beauty! So guys im going to wrap this up hope you guys have a wonderful day!
