Review - Maybelline Palette: The Nudes | July Favorites | National Lipstick Day

In my adult life, I have always owned makeup, but I have never really consistently worn it. Probally because I am not really good at putting it on. The only things that I faithfully wear is mascara and lip balm. However over the last 8 months, I have been dressing up a little more, and have a bigger interest in makeup and you know what? Its kinda cool. These last few months I have been on a hunt for a neutral eye palette and while I do now own a couple different ones now, the Maybelline palette I picked up at Walmart recently is so beautiful. And super affordable. The colors go on so smooth and also match perfectly with my skin tone! This is definitely my new go-to palette.

This is just one of the looks I created with this palette. I like the whole it doesn't look like I am wearing makeup, but I am look. Soft and natural for a daily look never goes out of style.
Side note--my hair is growing!!!!! I have been been really enjoying it and wearing it out more. 

Look at Ruby layer out on the floor

National Lipstick Day!!!!

Bare faced with just lipstick. 

I don't know why, but I have been loving red lipstick lately. If you would have asked me last year I would have told you I would never wear red. Times sure have changed :)

And is it just me or is are there a lot of days in 2014 that we just pick random stuff to celebrate??? Like National Cheesecake Day. When did start doing that?? Well, luckily for my wallet and unfortunately for my belly, I did not partake in that one.

And because school is out, I haven't really been terribly busy, and haven't been buying too much so for my July favorites I picked some times that have really gotten me through the month! Coffee and a pre workout!!! My lifesavers!!! The coffee because I have been sleeping so horrible this month and it helps me from not falling asleep at 4 in the afternoon and the pre workout because without it, I would be dragging on my workouts and probably wouldn't even go half the time. I love the tingle I get from the pre workout and it tastes really good. This is actually my second time buying it.

I add stevia and peppermint mocha creamer

More later!!!
