Sorry for the late update....it was a long day in the classroom yesterday and so I took some time to watch some YouTube bloggers and went to bed super early. Today I tried out 3 new products that I just recently added to my collection: Milani Baked Blush in Berry Amore, NYX Eye Shadow Palettes in Cosmic Metals and Lid Lingerie. I love how the Milani blush looked and the two different colors that I added to my collection (I wore Luminoso yesterday) are both fantastic. They definitely show up on my skin without seeming like it is WAY too pigmented. I also used a combo of the two eye shadow palettes since the Lid Lingerie palette was all matte and I wanted a little bit of sheen. The two palettes work wonderfully together and can be used separately although the sheen in the Cosmic Metals palette you might need to use a different palette to set your primer as a base on the lid.
It also made my day that a substitute who has been around our building a lot gave me a compliment on how nice all my makeup looked. She had no idea the level of attention I have been giving my makeup and the time I spend with me product selection. It feels nice to know that someone who doesn't see me all the time appreciated and noticed the effort and attempts. Below are all the products that I used today:
Eyes: Revlon Eyeshadow Primer, NYX Cosmic Metals Eye Shadow Palette, NYX Lid LIngerie Eye Shadow Palette, NYX Matte Liquid Liner, L'Oreal Lash Paradise
Face: e.l.f Mineral Infused Primer, Milani 2 in 1 Foundation, Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer, Coty Airspun, Milani Baked Blush Berry Amore, e.l.f highlighter (doesn't say which shade), Physcians Formula Butter Bronzer in Light, Milani Make it Last Setting Spray

Above are some pics from throughout the day and I must say that things continue to hold up pretty well. The eye shadow impressed me in that it stayed all day and didn't crease. When I got home I didn't take my makeup off right away and ultimately wore it for about 16 hours and the eye shadow held up extremely well. In fact all the makeup did and I continue to be impressed with the products that I own. I consider a lot of things when I purchase products. I will consider price first to be honest since as a teacher higher end makeup is not in the budget at this point but hopefully I will be able to try some over the summer. Second I look at reviews in several places such as Ulta and YouTube. Combining these two steps has allowed me to make some great selections, but I do try to always consider that my opinion may differ from the reviews.
My essence cosmetics order finally came in and I am so excited to try this out...hopefully on Saturday/Sunday. I love that essence is a budget friendly brand but has such a wide variety of high quality products and I can't wait to try this stuff out and share my thoughts!
