My Makeup Routine – 7 Beauty Products I Love

January 16, 2019 · In: Beauty, Lifestyle

Hey y’all!

Today I wanted to share my makeup routine and 7 products I really love! I constantly get questions about my makeup and what products I use. I figured this would be helpful so when someone asks I can just send this link. I am not by any means a “makeup guru” and I’m not nearly into makeup as much now as I used to be. These are just the products I found work for me and that I love.

1. bareMinerals Prime Time Foundation Primer

I just got this in my stocking from Grant for Christmas, but it really has changed the way my makeup applies! While it is a bit pricey the bottle seems it will last a while.

 

2. Physicians Formula The Healthy Foundation

I’ve been using this foundation for a while and love it! I have super oily skin and it isn’t greasy despite having SPF 20 in it. I would consider it full coverage, which I personally prefer. AND it has a doe foot applicator which is so unique and useful! I don’t like getting expensive foundations since it’s what I tend to go through the most.

 

3. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

This concealer is especially for dark circles under the eyes, which I need lol. I’ve been using this for a long time and it doesn’t disappoint, not to mention it’s super affordable. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been dying to try Shape Tape from Tarte but I also don’t want to pay almost $40 for concealer.

 

4. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

I know this name isn’t exactly PG… But this really is my old reliable mascara. I used it all through high school and more recently repurchased it. It is super expensive, but it makes lashes POP! I also make sure to always curl my lashes before hand. If you aren’t wanting to spend over $20 on a mascara there are TONS of awesome drug store ones out there. I love to switch up my mascara and typically don’t purchase the same one twice in a row.

 

5. MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ Spray

I also got this spray for Christmas, but I’ve really enjoyed using it! I personally use it for a setting spray even though after further research it may be a primer spray…? Or maybe both? But just like the bareMinerals primer I truly have seen a difference with the way my makeup looks and sets.

 

6. The Makeup Eraser

I know this isn’t makeup but: THIS HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. I included this in my stocking stuffers gift guide for Christmas. I can’t express enough how easy this product has made my life. You just wet this towel and wash your face with it. It takes off ALL of your makeup with just one wash. No makeup remover needed! Then to clean it you just throw it in the washing machine, it’s as simple as that. It’s also easy to travel with.

 

7. Real Techniques Brushes

I’ve been using Real Techniques brushes for years now! They are great quality, apply product beautifully, yet are still super affordable. You can easily get a set for under $20. I also clean my makeup brushes with Dawn soap and a makeup brush cleaning mat and it takes me less than 5 minutes. I hate cleaning brushes, but since finding this method last year I do it more often (still not often enough) because it’s so easy!

 

That’s it! Those are the makeup products I use daily and I love. Hopefully you found this useful or found a new product to try out. Leave me a comment down below and tell me about your favorite beauty products. I would love to hear about them and try some out!

 

xoxo

Jayme

    Love it, thank you!! The BEST mascara I have found that is comparable to Too Faced’s Better Than Sex is Loreal’s Lash Paradise! (It’s honestly even better in my opinion) It’s $11 if you ever want to spend less, or are taking it on the go and don’t want to lose a $25 mascara!

    Sending you love, keep doing what you’re doing!

While this Christmas photo looks different than pl While this Christmas photo looks different than planned this year, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas surrounded by peace and love🫶🏼

My prayer is that next year brings the blessings we hoped and prayed for this year, whether those things are big or small.

I’m so glad we decided to take a pit stop at @mo I’m so glad we decided to take a pit stop at @morganjuliadesigns brand new Jersey City location on our way home from NYC🫶🏼 This only added about 20min to our trip which was well worth it!🪡 Such a beautiful shop with so many great canvases👏🏼

Some tidbits from our trip as a NYC first-timer🚕
 
We stayed at @omniberkshirenyc - overall we enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect (right in between 5th Ave & Madison Ave) and was a short walk to Rockefeller and Central Park. Only complaint is that the rooms were very hot (75*+). They also had valet parking that we utilized. We drove into the city and while time consuming it wasn’t as stressful/difficult as we had imagined. I’d certainly drive in again.

Our highlights were @therockettes and walking through Central Park. We walked everywhere with the exception of a boat ride we did. We booked a car through RideLux for that which I do not recommend, about equal service to Uber for 2x the price. 

The boat ride with Classic Harbor Line felt like it wasn’t worth the $100/pp price tag. Seeing the Statue of Liberty up close was neat, but that was about it. Also, if you get sea sick CHL is NOT for you! 

Shopping overall was underwhelming, but we did hit the classic FAO Schwarz which regardless of the long line this time of year was a must-do! We got there 10min before opening and only waited about 10min after opening to get in. 

As for dining we did some quick spots around the city including Springbone Kitchen - perfect for a fast casual but healthy meal - we did pick up and took it to our room! Ralph’s Coffee in UES was also on my must-do list and honestly it didn’t disappoint! I’ve been to the Paris and NYC locations now and both times it’s been delicious and the perfect drinking temperature, even if you do have to wait a bit. For dinner we got a same day reservation for BG at Bergdorf’s - the food and service were great and reasonably priced imo!

I’m so happy we got to experience NYC at Christmas as it’s been on my bucket list my entire life! I love a trip filled with firsts, since they’re what make lasting memories!✨

✨48hrs in NYC✨ Somehow at 27 I had still never ✨48hrs in NYC✨
Somehow at 27 I had still never been to NYC until now🌃 I’ve always dreamed of going to NYC as a little girl, especially at Christmas! Today dreams came true with a visit to Radio City Music Hall to see @therockettes and it did not disappoint👏🏼 I’ll be sharing more tidbits from my trip over the next few days🚕

*also brownie points to whoever can tell me where this iconic townhome is from😉*

30 hours at the most festive place on earth🏰🎄

We booked this trip after my miscarriage so we could get out of town, even just for a night, and embrace ourselves in holiday magic✨ While nothing will take away the pain and heartache, distractions help the days pass faster🤍

Next week we’re off to NYC for a few days full of firsts!🚕 Defintiely nervous but excited for this bucket list trip✅
