My Everyday Face Routine!!

Hey everyone!! I just recorded a short video of my everyday makeup! So I decided to also do a small post talking about it.
On my everyday basis I don't like to be completely flawless, I like to look natural; that's why you can see some of my imperfections.
This look is super easy and quick because I'm always in a hurry every single day...



This are the products and tools I used:

Face:

  • Mary Kay Medium-Coverage Foundation in Beige 302 (Mary Kay Seller aka my aunt)
  • MAC Select Cover-Up Concealer in NW25 (MAC)
  • Revlon ColorStay Pressed Powder in Fair (Target)
  • MAC Blush in Blushbaby (MAC)
  • MAC 116 Brush (MAC)
  • My Fingers
Eyes:
  • Urban Decay Primer Potion (Sephora)
  • MAC All That Glitters Eyeshadow (MAC)
  • Ulta Eyeshadow from Palette (Ulta)
  • Rimmel Bronzer in Sun Dance (Target)
  • Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper (Sephora)
  • Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara (Ulta)
  • Clinique Brow Shaper in Soft Brown (Clinique Counter)
  • Avon Color-Trend Clear Mascara (as Brow Gel) (Avon Seller)
  • Bobbi Brown Eye Sweep Brush (My CCO)
  • Sonia Kashuk Crease Brush (Target)
Lips:
  • EOS Lipbalm in Summer Fruit (Ulta)
  • MAC Viva Glam Cindy Lipstick (MAC)
I know this might look like a lot of stuff to use, but believe me, it looks super cute and natural!

Disclaimer!! I bought EVERYTHING with my own money and I'm not affiliated with ant company mentioned.

UD Ammo Palette vs B.O.S. Vol 3 (Palettes reviews and comparison)

Which one do you prefer?? Ammo? Book of Shadows Vol. 3?? I'll show you the pros and cons that I've found in both palletes!!

The Ammo Shadow Box


$36 at Sephora and $39 at Ulta, but in Ulta it includes a full size Eden UDPP
Swatches:
Using normal UDPP as a base
Pros:
  • Sleek packaging
  • Variety of colors for natural and dramatic looks
  • Smooth consistency
  • Easy to apply and blend
  • Nice sized mirror
Cons:
  • 5 of the 10 shadows have giagantic glitter
  • Some colors are really similar (if it has just a few shadows I think it will be better to have more variety of colors)
Overall Grade:
8 out of 10

PPS (Price Per Shadow): $3.60

I would purchase this again


UD <3 NYC or Book Of Shadows Vol. 3

$54 at Sephora
Swatches
Using UDPP as a base


Pros:
  • Includes eyeliners and UDPP
  • More variety of colors
  • Cute packaging
  • Great quality of shadows
  • Awesome bright colors
  • Smooth to apply
  • Easy to blend
Cons:
  • Huge, bulky packaging
  • Not the ideal palette to use while traveling
  • Tiny mirror
Overall grade
8 out of 10

Price Per Item: $2.86

I don't think I'll buy this again


Quick comparison:
  • The Ammo palette is easier to take with you
  • NYC gives you more shades to achieve many types of looks
  • Some shades are in both palettes (Smog, Last Call, Maui Wowie)
  • Both are perfect as a gift

So, here are my thoughts is both palettes... Hope this is helpful to all of you!!

XOXO
