Happy Tuesday!
When I am in a hurry, I narrow down my makeup routine to my essentials: concealer, blush, lip balm, lip gloss, and mascara.
Why are these 5 items my essentials?
Concealer for covering up dark circles and blemishes, blush for some color, lip balm because no one likes dry lips, lip gloss for some shine, and mascara because I find that it really opens up our eyes and makes us look prettier. :)
Apply Mascara So Your Lashes Look Huge:
These tricks work a little like falsies, turning any mascara into a fringe-fattening machine.

I'm really glad I found this Beauty Cheat Sheet -- following these three steps really makes all the difference!
My new favorite mascara: COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion Mascara!
(Yes, I really love CoverGirl!)
Experience COVERGIRL's first ever volume + length mascara!
The fiberstretch formula and oversized brush make every little lash bigger, fuller, longer-looking, and more dramatic.
*Also available in Water Resistant!*

*Also available in Water Resistant!*
- Super volumizing + buildable fiber-strength lengthening
- Thickens and extends the look of your natural lashes
- Signature blast brush
If you've seen a lot of my older posts, you'll probably remember that I swear by and love CoverGirl products, haha!
They are affordable and they work really well!
They are affordable and they work really well!
Price: $9.49 at Ulta/ $9.99 at Walgreens
Available in four shades:
Very Black (800), Black (805), Black Brown (810), and Brown (815)
I don't really know if you can see the difference in the shades (probably not because they all look the same to me, haha!), but you get the idea. ;)
