Cherry Blossom: An Affordable Makeup Tutorial

Happy Sunday, friends!  You’ve been asking for simple and affordable makeup looks, and I have officially put one together for you.

You may have remembered me doing a “show and tell” Instastory on my Instagram page, and that included all drugstore brands.  I did have an eyebrow pencil in there with high hopes that it would be an awesome dupe for other high end brands I’ve used…sadly, this was not the case.  Legit, the disappointment was real.  The color was incredibly orange for what should have been a “light brown,” the shape of the pencil wasn’t conducive for the shape of my brown, and it did not apply well.  Basically, it was a fail and I chose not to use it in this tutorial – I switched it out for my usual high end product that cannot live without!

I hope you enjoy the video, and you can check out the list of products listed in the video description!

Happy Thursday, friends!  Just one more day until the weekend, y’all…clearly I’m excited lol.

I get a ton of questions about beauty products and am always happy to guide anyone in the right direction for their questions and/or concerns based on my personal experiences.  Since moving to a more remote area, I don’t have immediate access to the large brick and mortar stores to purchase my favorite beauty items so I have begun turning to Amazon for just about everything.  I am not above trying new products and have done tons of research on beauty products to include reading reviews online and checking out what Amazon has listed as their best sellers.

I have compiled some items that range from basic makeup tools, to all over face products.  You will notice that I left out foundation because I truly believe that not all foundation is created equal.  Everyone has different skin types, coverage needs, and price points so it’s important enough to have a dedicated post all on its own so stay tuned for that!

The “best seller” title is legit – definitely read the reviews for each item.  I have personally used all but 3 (3, 4, and 10) of these items and will vouch for them over and over again.  I can tell you that although I haven’t used Essence mascara, I have used their eyeshadows before and for the inexpensive price, they’re pretty decent!  I’ve heard incredible things about the Wunderbrow products and the review are pretty amazing so this may have to be an item I give a test run in the near future.  When it comes to makeup brushes I personally believe that there are absolutely some companies that offer very high end brushes that really are like rubbing a kitten on your skin because the bristles are so dang soft.  These brushes on this list are all synthetic which mean you will get more bang for your buck with makeup application because your brush won’t soak up any of the liquid products you use them in conjunction with…little tip for those that didn’t know that already!  These brushes have awesome reviews, and the price can’t be beat so they’re definitely worth giving a try!

What products do you think should be a part of the “best seller” list?
