So, I was going to take a picture of my Friday Favorites today but I'm way too lazy.
Either way, here are my favorites for the week!
- Stila Tinted Moisturizer in Bare
- Maybelline lash discovery mascara
- Too Faced Natural Eye Pallet (Velvet Revolver & Sexpresso)
- My leather mini journal!
Stila tinted moisturizer:
As I explained in my last video, which you can find here, I have a serious love/hate relationship with this product. I got it when I went to IMATS New York in April because the guy said that it gave more coverage than the Laura Mercier one. However, when I brought it home and actually tried it out I absolutely despised it. It felt really thick and gave basically no coverage. What a waste of $15! However, when I pulled it out this week and tried it without a brush, I loved it. Yes, it still felt a little thicker than a "regular" tinted moisturizer, but still thinner than a foundation. The coverage is really buildable and it gives your skin a healthy, not greasy, glow. I've been using it every single day this week and I've been enjoying it a lot! :)

Maybelline Lash Discovery Mascara:
Definitely my favorite mascara of the moment. Not too much to say about it, because I've already done a full review on it, which you can find here!
Too Faced Natural Eye Pallet:
This pallet was given to me by my friend Grace's mum for my birthday, which was beyond sweet! It was actually something I was planning on buying for myself! Anyway, this pallet is amazing. On the left side of the pallet there are 3 "base" or "highlight" colors, ranging from a matte white, to a light champagne, to a pinkey color. And on the right side, next to each base color are 2 "actual" colors that you use as your makeup look. My favorites have always been Velvet Revolver and Sexpresso, which go with the matte white highlighter. All of these colors are matte and make the nicest, but dramatic, smokey eye. I'm actually wearing that combo today and I've definitely fallen back in love with it! Look out for a full length review and pictures coming up!
My Leather Mini Journal:
I picked this up 2 weeks ago because I'm obsessed with journals. I don't keep a journal, I don't draw, I don't write often. However, I'm absolutely obsessed with collecting journals. I actually have 10 sitting in my room. Anyway, I picked up this journal cause it looked kind of vintagey (it isn't) and it was small enough that I could carry it around with me. I've been making myself use this journal to:
write down to-do lists
write down video ideas
write down blog post ideas
write down products I'm going to finish
write down products I want to buy
etc.
And it's really come in handy. This little guy has been "keeping me in check" and, whenever I check something off of my to-do list, I always get super happy and proud of myself!
Those are my friday favorites! Sorry there were no pictures :/

Ashley
