Summer Makeup Routine

-
I feel like my skin gets a break and really thrives in the summer.  It's not super dried out like it always gets during winter, and I am wearing less makeup during the summer which I love.  I already have a pretty quick makeup routine that takes me around 15 minutes, but I've definitely downsized on the amount of products I've been putting on when it's warmer.  I can really tell a difference because everything feels so much lighter on my face, which means my skin can breathe so much better, I'm not sweating all of my makeup off, and my skin doesn't break out as much or as often as it does when I do my normal routine.  SO, without further ado, here is what I've been using as far as makeup goes so far this summer!



FOUNDATION // Tarte Amazonian Clay Tinted Press Finishing Powder OR IT Cosmetics CC Cream

What I use for foundation really depends on how my skin is doing.  If I need more coverage that day, I use the IT Cosmetics CC Cream because it is super lightweight while still giving a foundation-like coverage.  Plus, it has SPF 50 in it which is perfect for the summer sun.  If my skin is doing pretty good or I've been in the pool all day with SPF, I just put on the Tarte Amazonian Clay powder foundation.  I usually use this powder over my liquid foundation and concealer, but in the summer I don't usually use liquid foundation or concealer just because it feels so heavy on my face.

BRONZER // Physician's Formula Butter Bronzer

If you guys try one product from this post, try the Butter Bronzer.  OMG it smells so good and has such a great color and gives you such a natural color.  I usually add more coverage with it in the summer since I don't use a lot of foundation in the summer and my body is tanner so I obviously want my face to match the rest of my body.  I recommend this product so much, and it's under $10, so such a great deal!

BLUSH // Nars Blush in Orgasm

This was the birthday gift from Ulta for the month of May last year, and I instantly fell in love with this product.  For so long I have tried so many different brands and shades of blush trying to find one that actually works with my skin tone.  And this one has seriously been a winner for me!  Lol it took a free mini size to get me to finally find a blush I like!  It's a really pretty pinky shade with a little shimmer in it as well so you could totally get away with not using highlighter if you didn't want to.  Will definitely be using this product in the future!

EYE SHADOW // ELF Rose Gold Eye Shadow Palette

I bought this palette in January because it was cheap and I thought I would use all of the colors.  And I was definitely right!!! I usually go for pinks or browns/neutrals with eye shadow and this palette is full of them!  For summer I usually just do one of the lighter colors on my lid, and a darker color in part of my crease and on the outer part of my lid for a super simple eye look.

MASCARA // Urban Decay Perversion

My room mate actually got me this mascara for Christmas this past year and I loved it!  It doesn't take many coats to make it look bold and pronounced, and I also don't feel like it gets super gooey and clumpy.  Definitely love this mascara for a light coat but nice bold lashes.

EYEBROWS // ELF Instant Lift Brow Pencil

Yet another ELF product that I'm obsessed with!  This is literally only $2, but matches my eyebrow color perfectly, and fills them in great.  Highly recommend for a cheap but still great product!

HIGHLIGHTER // Physicians Formula Butter Highlighter in Champagne

When buying a new Butter Bronzer one day, I noticed how beautiful the Butter Highlighters were, so I decided to grab one to try.  And I love it!  I have it in the shade "Champagne" since it's a very natural gold color and doesn't add more colors to my already done up face.  The glow is so subtle and really adds a great finishing touch to any look.

LIP // NYX Butter Gloss in Fortune Cookie

To finish off the whole look, I use this really pretty nude!  These glosses seriously go on like butter.  They are so smooth, glossy, and they last for a long time.  I'm obsessed and have multiple shades of butter gloss.

FINISHING SPRAY // Morphe Continuous Setting Mist

I'm almost out of this product and I'm seriously so sad about it.  Since it's a continuous spray and a mist, my face doesn't feel so wet and gross after spraying some on, and I feel like my whole face gets covered instead of just parts of my face like with a normal spray.  Definitely going to be needing to pick up some more of this very soon!

Hope this was helpful for anyone looking for summer make up suggestions!  Let me know what products you guys use in the summer down below!

xoxo, Hannah

February/March Content Consumption

Since my family and I are 100% practicing social distancing right now, we have been staying home and consuming so  much content.  I realized I never posted a February content consumption post, but that's mainly because I read a ton of books and only watched one TV show...so it really would have been pretty boring.  Although March is already almost over, I thought I would just combine the two now in case you all want to read/watch what I did these past two months while you're social distancing! BOOKS The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown: 9.5/10 //  All I can say about this book is wow .  My family and I got this book for my grandpa for Christmas a few years ago and he still says it's his favorite gift he has ever gotten.  I had been wanting to read it, but I kept putting it off since I don't know much about rowing and I wasn't sure if I would find it enjoyable.  I finally borrowed the book from my grandpa and wow am I glad I did!...

Who I Watch On YouTube

Since I am currently at home for Spring Break and not going on a trip, I am spending a lot of break watching YouTube!  I've been watching YouTube for so long and have added and gotten rid of subscriptions for years.  I am always so interested in seeing who other people watch, so I thought I would share some of my faves!  So without further ado, here is my YouTube Subscription List! 1. ABBY ASSELIN I started following Abby about a month ago, and I'm so so glad that I found her!  She is a sophomore at the University of Alabama who mainly does "College Day in My Life" videos.  They are some of my favorite videos to watch, and she gives me a lot of ideas such as healthy meals, workout routines, and study tips!  It also helps that her dog is absolutely adorable! 2. GRETCHEN GERAGHTY Gretchen's channel is another recent find.  I started watching her videos in January and am so  glad that I subscribed!  She is another YouTuber in colle...

What I Eat At College

This year is really the first year that I have started cooking for myself.  Freshman year I lived in a dorm, so I would either eat microwavable macaroni and cheese, eat at the dining halls, or go out to eat.  Sophomore year I lived in a sorority house, so we had a chef that cooked lunch and dinner for us throughout the week.  This year, I live in an off campus house which means I have to go grocery shopping for myself and actually cook some meals.  It took a lot of getting used to in the beginning, but now it's actually kinda fun to plan out what I want to eat and make it.  So here is what I eat throughout the week. BREAKFAST What I eat for breakfast usually depends on how much time I have in the morning.  On the mornings that I have dance practice at 7am, I usually eat a Chobani flip cup yogurt.  These things are so good!  There are so many different flavors that I never get bored of having them! I also buy Quaker Oats to make my own oat...
