Face

Covergirl Clean Matte BB Cream- I love this BB cream. BB creams in general are, in my opinion, the go-to foundation for school. This one is light enough to not feel dewy and gross but, gives enough coverage to feel like you have pretty even skin. I enjoy Covergirl's BB creams and they really do a great job with all the formulas. 

Soap & Glory Glow All Out- Now in a previous post, I mentioned that this could be used as a blush--was I more wrong! This is totally a rose-toned highlighter. Not a blush. I thought at first that it was more of just a shimmer blush than a highlighter so I was surprised to find out that it actually looks better on my upper cheekbones than it did on my cheeks. Oops. Still a great product, though. 

Lips

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Matte Lip- I recently fell in love with Soap & Glory and a ton of their products. You can see my full impression of it, here. I was looking for new fall shades and this Choccoberry color is so delectable. The name sounds delicious, too. This is a great matte lip that's super moisturizing as well! 

Eyes

Soap & Glory Thick and Fast Mascara- More Soap & Glory! I really like this lengthening and volumizing mascara from their collection. The applicator is really nice and tear dropped shape which helps get every lash. 

Urban Decay Primer Potion- An oldie but, a goodie. The Primer Potion Mini has lasted me throughout this whole summer and makes my shadow stay put for over 8 hours. Now that's amazing. 

Maybelline Master Prime Eye Shadow Base- I also like to dab a little of this shadow base with my finger after the primer to really make my shadow stay put during school. 

Laura Geller Baked Color Intense Shadow Duo in Dolce/Raisin- After I use the eyeshadow base, I blend the Raisin (right) shade into my crease and apply the Dolce (left) into my inner corner to make my eyes pop and make me look less of a zombie in the morning at school.  

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade- If I do decide to do my brows, I normally reach for my Anastasia Dipbrow to sculpt my "ladies" out. I love this so far and it has really changed the way I have ever done my brows.

Just recently I was inspired to redecorate my vanity/desk space and make it actually look pretty awesome. I have loved redecorating and organizing ever since I was little. I remember always re-painting my room; it went from white, to yellow, purple, and now mint green. Now that school has officially started in my town (ughhh), I was wanting to get some pre-school cleaning and reorganizing done. 

Starting out with the main piece of furniture, my desk, I think my mom bought it for me a while back at an Estate Sale. So, I'm not for sure where you can exactly find it but, there are many white desks similar to this one out there. I used to use it as an actual desk and now I just do all of my homework at school or on my bed. It works amazingly as a vanity, though. 

I love my little mint green, metal basket I bought from Target a while ago. I think baskets are great to store stuff in as well as displaying cute things like perfume and brushes, too! 

If you happen to get makeup or hot tools on your vanity a lot, I would recommend investing in a glass table top. The one I have is from Ikea and it was pretty inexpensive and has lasted for about a year now. I love it because it's easy to clean. However, DO NOT place hot tools on top of the glass. I had an incident last year with an older glass top where I left a curling iron on and it completely shattered. 

What I personally think a vanity 100% needs is some type of mirror. It doesn't have to be so expensive either! I know how much mirrors cost nowadays. All you need is a reliable, makeup mirror. It's simple and minimal for your space! This one from Target has it's own light, too which is really good when doing night makeup. 

On my shelf I have a few knick-knacks which I kind of move around and rearrange every now and then. I have this gold terrarium which I also bought from Target. I found a similar one, here.  I added some fairy lights into it and it gives a little light and looks really cute.

Then I have my Victoria's Secret dog and some magazines, more fairy lights, candle holders and a turquoise clock. I also love stacking books up on a shelf to give it more depth and dimension. Add your own personal touch to any shelf! 

Soap & Glory has now been added to many Walgreen stores recently, or at least my local one, and I have been so excited about it! The only place I know that sold Soap & Glory was at an Ulta Beauty store a couple miles away from me. I haven't ever tried Soap & Glory because it was so just hard to go out and get. Now that it's a couple minutes from my house, I can finally try out their whole collection. 

What I love about Soap & Glory is that it is great quality makeup and skincare for a very affordable, drugstore price. They have a great collection of products all around and I love the convenience of it being at my local drugstore, as well. I want to thank Sarah from her blog, Temporary Secretary, for introducing me to all things Soap & Glory!  

Makeup

Glow All Out Luminizing Face Powder in Shimmer Switch- Not only is this blush/highlighter's packaging extremely adorable, it gives just the right amount of sheer pigment on the cheeks. It's a blush and highlighter all in one basically! It has super long staying power and leaves a great shimmer for glowy looks. The picture doesn't do the color of the blush justice but, it does leave a little rosy tint to it on the cheeks. 

Thick & Fast Mascara- I think I go through about 20 mascaras a year and it was time to finally pick up a new one. This mascara makes my lashes look so much more fuller and bigger. It also doesn't flake which is very much appreciated.

Skincare

Irresistibubble Gift Set- When I saw this at the little Soap & Glory Kiosk I was really excited because I fell in love with the Sugar Crush sweet lime scent before and this gift set was kind of amazing for travel so I was like, "why not?!". It comes with a body butter and a shower gel; two things I need the most when I am travelling! This is also great for a gift, too! 

This set was also nifty because it's super budget friendly. Only $7 for two mini products that could last you a really long time. That's one of the main reasons I love Soap & Glory is because of how great the price (and the quality) is! 

Face Soap and Clarity 3 in 1 Vitamin C Facial Wash- I was wondering if any of the face products like the cleansers were any good so I picked up this one to try out. I found that it kind of acts like an exfoliating cleanser and really smoothes out my skin. It smells really minty and fresh so it's great to use in the morning to wake up with. I only used a pea sized amount so I think this travel size bottle can get me through the rest of summer.
