My Everyday Makeup Routine !

hey everyone ! so I decided to start off with my very first makeup routine, for the products that I use I'll list below

- my MAC quad colours: (top left in the picture) Haux, (top right) Embark, (bottom left) Shroom and (bottom right) Malt
-urban decay, Naked, "Flushed" platte
-Rimmel, wake me up concealer
-Revlon, Nearly Naked foundation
- Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer
-eyelash curler
-cover girl, "Clump Crusher" mascara
-MAC brow finisher, clear
-Urban Decay Setting Spray, "De-Slick"

1- first I use my concealer on all my spots, then I proceed to put on my foundation all overly face and neck.

2-I then used the bronzed in my Naked, Flushed platte, then I use a tad of blush (it's really strong) on the apples of my cheek and lastly I use the highlighter on my "sun-kissed" spots on my face.

3-I now shade in my eyebrows with MAC Embark shadow, and I just follow my natural brow line.

4-I then use a speck of primer on both my eyelids, then I proceed to use MAC Haux all over my kid, for my crease colour I use MAC Embark, lastly I use MAC Malt as my highlighter.

5- I now curl my eyelashes, and proceed to put on my mascara

6- I then use my eyebrow finisher (wax material) and put that on my brows, following my brow line

7-Finally I spray my face with the setting spray around 8cm from my face, 6 times in an "X" formation

And we are done ! that is my daily routine, I love this because its very natural, yet defining all my key points on my face

hope you guys enjoyed this post, comment if you"d like to see more !

Mini Shopping Haul

SATURDAY & SUNDAY MINI SHOPPING HAUL

So i know i said i would upload either Sunday night or Monday at the latest.... and today is Tuesday (awkward!) Anyways, here it is, the mini shopping haul that i did over this past weekend.

1. Urban Decay's Naked Basics: so in my last post i said i had received the Naked flushed platte, well i fell in love with "naked", so im hooked. I bought the basics, because i'm a basic bitch :( LOL, not for that reason but i actually have heard great things about it so I've decided to try it ! So far i am loving it, so pigmented and smooth. Also it is smaller than the flushed platte which makes travelling so easy ! EASY-PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY !

2. Also from Urban Decay, i bought the De-Slick setting spray. Now i have tried this before in the small travel bottle, and i loved it also it lasted quite long so i decided to bite the 35$ bullet and buy it. I found it quite a lot of money for just setting spray, yet you pay for the quality and damn it is pretty fine quality  If you get n oily face, and runny makeup during the day like myself, i would defiantly recommend the De-slick setting spray ! All you do is spray about 4 times in an X formation and ta-da ! your face will stay matte looking all day !

3. I also went to American Eagle where i bought 2 shirts, a loose, ARMY GREEN (could upload a pic of the one i actually bought)  cut sleeved shirt, with a little peek-a-boo hole on the back. I LOVE THIS SHIRT, so comfy  loose and light, going to be prefect on those hot summer nights coming up! I also bought a tank top that more looks like a muscle top with smaller sleeves on the top (no collar). it has a sunset background with the word ALOHA in a white faint print. I love the fit and style, also i'm going to Hawaii in August (SO EXCITED) so this shirt is perfect... now note the faint print on it ;)

4. i went to LUSH... of course, and bought 3 items, the first was the "you've been mango-ed" bath melt, which is so nice and makes your bath smell good and your skin super soft (you don't even need to use a lot), next is the "space girl" bath bomb which makes your bath purple/black which smells like blackberries and makes your bath look pretty sweet. Lastly i bought the "magic mushroom" bubble bar, which i wasn't very happy with :( i hardly had any bubbles,  and the bubbles i did have didn't even last more than 20 mins :( on result i would recommend the mango bath melt and the space girl bath bomb, but i wouldn't recommend the magic mushroom bubble bar.

5. I went to Zumiez which is pretty much a west 49 store like, in which i bought 2 obey sweaters, one is a zip up and the other is a pullover, the first one (which is the 5th picture below) is the pullover, and the colour is red ! i'm obsessed with skulls, so this sweater is perfect for me. the next one is the zip-up and it looks the same in the picture, super comfy and light. 

6. Last but not least, i went to Forever 21 and bought this SUPER CUTE dress for only 25$. I wanted to buy a couple of dresses before summer early this year, and so far this dress has got me more excited for summer. it is a high-low dress with spaghetti straps and a loose & light feel to it. I would HIGHLY recommend girls with bigger boobs this dress because you can adjust the straps and with a good bra, you can either show as much cleavage as you want, which is perfect. But i think this dress would be perfect for anyone !

That's my mini shopping haul, and sorry for not posting this when i promised you :(
If you guys have any different opinions on the items i bought then comment below, ALSO if you have anything that you want me to try and evaluate then also comment below !

till next time ! -court xoxo

Birthday/ Makeup Reviews !

Birthday. Makeup Reviews !

Happy Birthday to me ! my 17th birthday was yesterday and i had quite a swell time :) unfortunately i had to go to school and work :( but no drama or accidents, so overall it was a chill birthday but that's what i wanted and like.
I wanted to share with you guys on my past purchases since i have not been on in so long ! I just recently bought the Rimmel, "Wake me up" concealer and the Covergirl "clump crusher" mascara.

Rimmel: The concealer has been doing a pretty good job, it is quite sheer, so if i have a lot of redness, it doesn't really help. I do like how it has some energy or caffeine product in it to "wake you up" i think it is a brilliant idea doe makeup.
Covergirl: The mascara has been AMAZING,  i absolutely love it, no clumps what so ever and it give you nice full, long lashes which i adore. What i really like about it, is that if you put less on, it will look so natural  but once you lay it on, it makes your lashes look full and voluptuous. i strongly recommend it if you are thinking on trying it or even if you are looking for a new favourite mascara.

For my birthday, i received mostly money, but i got the brand new naked "Flushed" Platte by Urban Decay, which includes a bronzer, blush and highlighter. I used it last night for my birthday dinner and today, and it's quite pigmented and no so sparkly which i prefer  I really like it because it is small and portable and since its 3-in-1 product, it makes travelling and my makeup-to-go bag light and easy to bring around.

I'm going to be shopping on Saturday which some of the money i received so get ready for a blog on what i purchased around Saturday night or Sunday night.
