Hair and Beauty Bag

Happy Tuesday! I hope you are all having a great start to your week! This weekend, I got my hair done so I wanted to share what's currently on rotation in my beauty bag and details about my current cut/color! Almost all of my beauty picks are super budget friendly and available at your local drug store or Target. I love beauty on a budget!

Powder Foundation | I have been using this powder for over a year and I still love it. I discovered it from an Influenster box and have continued to purchase it. I use a layer of it on top of my BB Cream and it leaves my skin looking flawless. Such a great product and a great price!

Mascara | I reviewed this mascara at the beginning of the summer and it's the only one I use now. Products that you go have to change out often (like mascara), I don't like to spend a ton of money on so I am so excited that I love this affordable option. Read more of my review here.

BB Cream | I have also reviewed this BB Cream before in this post and I am still absolutely loving it! It evens out my skin tone and makes my sun spots magically disappear. Magic in a tube and it's under $10.

Makeup Remover Wipes | I love this makeup remover wipes and they are so cheap! The wipe is thick and they don't dry out easily. 

Eyeliner | I have been using this eyeliner literally for over ten years. When I was in college, I started experimenting with eyeliner and I have been using the same one ever since. I usually wear the black onyx color. Also another great beauty product that's budget friendly.

Nail Color | I bought a bottle of this polish randomly and now it's my go-to! Two coats (with one clear top coat) lasts me for over a week! It's a great affordable, gel polish.

Eyebrow Pencil | I have just recently started using an eyebrow pencil so I bought several different ones to try out. This one is by far my favorite! The pencil is angled so it applies easily plus it comes with a blending brush to get the perfect look.

Lip Exfoliator | This is another random beauty buy because I had never used any kind of lip exfoliator before but I was intrigued by the idea. I mean, who doesn't want smoother lips!? I love the sweet cheery flavor and it definitely leaves your lips so soft!

Highlighter | I just bought this highlighter last week because I was out of my more expensive one. I love giving drugstore finds a try before splurging. I am loving this highlighter so far. I use it on my brow bone, eye lids, cheeks, nose, and chin.

Eye Shadow | I don't splurge on many items, especially ones that I go through quickly or need to replace often. However, I do splurge on eye shadow palettes because they seem to last forever. This is my all time favorite palette and definitely worth splurging on!

Cream Lip Stain | I discovered this product from a sample that Sephora sent me in the mail. I've worn it several times in my Instagram stories and I always get asked what color I'm wearing. The color is called Pink Tea and it looks fairly brown in the container but the color when it's applied is the prettiest neutral. It also lasts all day! 

I also wanted to share my most recent cut, color, and style by the amazing Kahli Markham at Renew.   I have to get my hair colored on an eight week schedule because I've had some gray hair since I was 18. Not fun and it seems like I have even more gray hair every time. I really hope that is not going to be the norm for me! My hair is naturally pretty dark and she does the best job lightening it up for me to get the look I want. She also does a shadowed root so that my regrowth looks more natural and also did balayage highlights. I went dark this time and I love how my color turned out! My cut is an angled bob (that she just trimmed up because I'm letting my hair grow out) and she curled it with a 1.25 inch curling iron. I wish she could come to my house and style my hair for me every day. If you are looking for a new stylist, definitely reach out to her! She is definitely the best!
