Everyday Maddie

 Happy Friday!! Whew I am so glad to see this day! It was a great first week back, but dang I am exhausted! As always, I am linking up with Andrea and Erika for Friday Favorites! Makeup/skincare favorites... I am LOVING this foundation!! I picked it up at Kroger the other day, and I have been pleasantly surprised by it. I haven't really ever worn bronzer, but I am loving this one from LYS - along with this Saie brush. I have also never really worn a setting spray, but I decided to go ahead and try this one out. Love. It.  I can't remember if I have used this moisturizer before, but I am loving it right now! It smells so luxurious and feels so nice on my skin. Dinner at the table... We ate dinner at the table on Monday, on the fine china, with the nice wine glasses. We certainly don't do this every night, but it is nice every now and then! I made this chicken sausage and broccoli orzo , and we both loved it! I added crushed red pepper to make it a bit spicy. Friday Mexica...

 Happy Thursday! I am here today to share my latest makeup routine! I went to Ulta one day, and when I got my receipt, I saw that I had almost $200 in points that were expiring soon. Sooooo, I decided this was a good time to try some new products! I've heard really good things about r.e.m. beauty, so that's what I went with! It's clean, cruelty free, and has skincare benefits. So, here's my current makeup routine.... 1. Ok, first things first....SUNSCREEN. Such an important step! I am loving this one from Innisfree.  I mostly love that it does not burn my eyes!! 2. I don't use it every time I do my makeup, but I really like  this primer. I also wear it alone some days- just primer, no makeup after. It gives a blurring effect.  3. I've been doing concealer before foundation lately, and I really like that. This concealer is so good! 4. Sweetener foundation ....I feel like this shade is a bit too light for me, but I think adding some bronzer might help. I really ...

 Happy Thursday!! Today I wanted to share my top 3 makeup products! I've been having a lot of makeup free days lately.....I'm trying to focus on my skin right now, and I very rarely want a full face of makeup. So, when I want something a little more than no makeup at all, this is what I have been doing. All three products are from Covergirl! I'm using their Clean Fresh Brow Pencil, and I LOVE it!! The lipgloss is in the shade Sugar Poppy- it's the perfect, barely there pink! The mascara adds really good length and volume! I do wish the wand was curved, but it's not a deal breaker for me. It takes less than five minutes to throw on, and I love that! Have a great day!

 Happy Wednesday! Today I am sharing my updated makeup routine with you all! I shared my makeup routine back in February last year , but I don't think I use any of those products anymore. So, here's an updated version! First up, SUNSCREEN! I am really bad about using sunscreen on a daily basis, but I am trying to do better. I picked this one up at Kroger yesterday, and I'm hopeful that it's a good one. I haven't found one yet that I just love- maybe that's why I can't commit to putting it on every day. The last one I used really irritated my skin, so maybe this will be better! Before I start my makeup, I use this priming serum from BeautyCounter. I am really liking it so far! I got it as a free gift, and I don't think I would have gotten it otherwise. But now that I've tried it, I will likely buy more once this is gone. I'm having a moment with Covergirl right now! I really like this foundation. It's light but covers well. I apply it with a b...

Happy Tuesday, friends! With summer in full swing, I thought I'd share my beauty must haves for this time of year!   I always switch to a tinted moisturizer with SPF for the summer months instead of my regular foundation. I've tried countless brands and they're really all the same to me. This go around I'm using one from Tarte. I add a little blush, a sweep of eyeshadow and mascara, and a lip gloss, and that's my "full face" everyday!  For the days I don't want any makeup on my face, I opt for a face sunscreen. I just got this one from Monat, and I really like it! It isn't greasy AT ALL, and didn't dry my face out- two big factors for me when looking for a sunscreen for my face! This will be perfect for pool days, as well as days I don't want to wear much makeup.  SPF lip balm is a definite must for me. If it isn't for you, then your lips must have never been sunburnt😂. Gosh that is the WORST feeling!! I like this one from Sun Bum.  Th...

 Good morning and happy Thursday! Today I'm sharing my everyday makeup routine! I don't use anything super fancy, and I've gotten this routine down to about 10-12 minutes- a win in my book! I love doing my makeup, but I don't love spending a ton of time on it. Here is my full routine!  Here's everything I use in the order I use it!  1: BareMinerals Original powder foundation - I have used BareMinerals since I started wearing makeup in the 7th grade. I usually stray from this in the summer and just use some kind of tinted moisturizer, but I always go back to the powder. I apply it with their Full Flawless Face brush. The color I use is Neutral Ivory 06.  2: It Bye Bye Pores blush - I really like this blush and the color. It's the perfect punch of pink! A little goes a really long way, too. I use the color Sweet Cheeks (Warm Peachy Pink). I apply it with my BareMinerals Flawless Face brush.  3: I use this to brush out my eyebrows and prep them before I fill them i...
