Makeup Overhaul + Makeup Collection (Picture heavy)

I decided at the end of 2014 that I wanted to reorganize and declutter my makeup collection. I do not have a huge makeup collection to begin with, so I knew it would not be that big of a task. I took before and after shots of my items by purpose/type to show you how many I kept and got rid of. I love looking at these types of posts on YouTube and blogs because they are so inspiring. Sometimes we really need to appreciate what we have!! This post will also be followed by a few other organization ones soon to come! With all of this being said this post is picture heavy, but I hope you enjoy!

Face

I decided that the Lumi foundation was something I love but need to work on these other foundations. I also do not wear foundation on a daily basis so even these are a lot for me.

Concealer

 I am definitely a concealer girl, because unlike foundation this is something that I do wear almost every day. I am however trying to downsize certain areas of my collection for how I am wanting to organize. Since doing this

though I have added the NYX concealer pot and the Maybelline Master Conceal. This is not the only area that has changed a little in my collection.

Brows

Brows are essential. I basically just tossed what was old or I couldn't use anymore with my more vibrant red hair. (Looking for a brow pencil recommendation ^^)

Powder

Certain powders are for certain functions. The Olay powder is one that I love but was on the older side. And I had just recieved a new bare mineral veil for Christmas so I decided to toss the old one also. I may be looking for a new loose powder as well, here soon :o

Bronzer

Bronzer gives me life. The Ulta thing however I could not stand. And teh revlon one would not pick up color anymore to save my life :-(

Mascara

I feel like we all have those moments when we ahve too many open mascaras. Luckily, the oens I threw out were on their last legs. Definitely would not reccomend the ulta mascara. It did absolutely nothing :-(

Eye Bases

This is one area of my collection I thought I would struggle with most. After much deliberation though I was able to narrow down my beloved color tattoos.

Other

These last pictures I didn't feel the comparisons were worth showing, but I figured you would still like to see what I have! :-)

I hope that this post was fun! Let me know if you have any other ideas for posts or things that you would like to see, and I'll be happy to look into them! If you would like to know any specific shades or names feel free to ask in the comments. I hope you all have a  wonderful day! :-) Thanks for reading!

Happy Friday and a quick update!

Hello everyone! Hope this week has been treating you well. I myself have been pretty busy with school work as well has school band commitments. I thought I would get a post out to let you all know that I have created a twitter account! Like I have said (and probably will continue to say) I love interacting with people! This will be a great way for me to share posts from my blog, quick info on things such as sales, opportunities and even mini life updates/thoughts. 

Can't wait to see you all in the Twitter sphere!

Happy Halloween!

Better late than never, right? Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Halloween weekend! Just thought I would drop this picture here to share my costume this year. My boyfriend and I decided to do a couples costume as Cosmo and Wanda from the Fairly Odd Parents on Nickelodeon! I use to be obsessed with this show back in my junior high years, and saw this on Pinterest.

I did not have a lot of time to do my hair, but I had practiced the poof prior to doing it this night. I wish I had a lot more pictures, but sadly with the amount of time we had I was not able to :-(. My boyfriend did not want to use colored hair spray, so this is also the best we could come up with for Cosmo's green hair. Did I mention we threw this together in 24 hours time??? I think it turned out pretty well! The wands we found at Walmart for 97 cents and I made the crowns using yellow cups, believe it or not (also found on pinterest).

Feel free to leave what you were for Halloween this year, and if you would like an in depth post about anything let me know!

Have a fantastic day!

Welcome to my blog!

Hello there lovely people! My name is Samantha and I am here wanting to start a blog that is beauty based as well as my life in college here and there! I also plan to combine these two concepts, because being a college student means that your money is tight. I still enjoy trying out new products and would like to share how I do this! For this blog I plan on doing hauls, reviews, tutorials (maybe trying to get into doing videos?) and a few other things that I think will be a lot of fun!

A little bit about me, I am 20 years old and am a 3rd year in college. I am majoring in AYA Integrated Social Studies (meaning I want to be a high school teacher!) I enjoy a lot of the simple things in life, including sitting down with my favorite people and drinking some hot tea, or just hanging out. My makeup/beauty collection is something I take pride in for the fact that I do not wear makeup because I feel the need to enhance my natural features. Heck, I don't even wear make up every day! But I do enjoy the process of applying makeup and getting to experiment with color. It's also aways enjoyable to watch what the beauty community comes out with and test the products for yourself! 

There will be more about me to come, so welcome to my blog! :-)

Also! I love bloglovin' to keep up with blogs that I enjoy reading as well as getting to connect with my readers! :-)
