Back to School Series: My Favorite Natural EyeShadows

This post goes hand in hand with the back to school beauty ideas. When I do wear make up, I usually wear natural colors, these are some of my favorite!

1) Lancome Color Design Palette in Violet Sweetheart- I absolutely love this palette, the colors are a great mix of shimmer and matte!

2) The Profusion Brightening Eyes Palette in Neutral- I got this palette from Walgreens for a $1 and it quickly became one of my favorite, the colors last, the blend, and they're pigmented!

3) These are my old Rimmel London Palettes, I don't think they sell them anymore, but I love them. They're great for smokey eyes and a couple of everyday looks!

4) Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Luminous Shadow in Copper Feel- Oh my! This shadow is soooo pigmented, and a part of my everyday wear with a brown crease color! Looks AH-MAZING!

Work Chic

It was interesting to see people get dressed up for work. Whether it's teachers, a desk job, or on the go job, you'll be able to find the perfect look for you. Some of these are meant for a little more casual day at work, but they're all super fashionable and appropriate for a work day.

Top 3 Favorite Make-up Products

These favorites aren't in any order, just my top 3 favorite products that I've been reaching for this summer!

1) The Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara, this mascara is AMAZING! I've been using it only for a couple of days, but I love the way it makes my eyes pop. I wear glasses, and my eyes stand out very nicely. I've been using the Lancome Doll lashes mascara, and I love that one too, but this one is so much lighter, and it doesn't even feel like you have make up on.

2) Covergirl Wetslicks Amazemint lipgloss in tickled pink, when I first discovered this lipgloss in November, I fell in love, I loved how natural it looks, and smooth and unsticky it feels. Unfortunately it good discontinued (from walgreens at least), but I made sure to stock up on it, so I'm good for a couple of years!

3) The E.L.F tinted moisturizer. I love this product because it's got good enough coverage, SPF, and it feels great on my skin.
