Essie-Mink Muffs is the perfect light brown color. I love this color on the nails. I think it looks expecially great on dark skin tones.
Essie polish is one of the best polishes I've tried. It lasts so well and I love the formulation.
I bought this for $8 at Target.
Today I'm wearing MAC Club eyeshadow on my lid and blended into the crease. I also ran it under my eyes.
Then I put MAC Smut at the lash line for definition instead of liner.
I'm wearing Loreal Falsh Fiber lash mascara.
I'm wearing Revlon Colorstay foundation.
For blush, Benefit Bella Bamba.
For the lips I'm wearing MAC Syrup.
My shirt is from Forever21 and my cardigan is from Target.
I hope this gives you some makeup ideas!

MAC Springsheen is a Powder blush.
This is a Sheertone Shimmer finish so it can go on sheer but it is still very pigmented and buildable. This is absolutely gorgeous. At first I thought it looked more orange than I thought it was supposed to be when I saw it in the pan, but once I put it on it went to a pinky peach color.
This blush has 6 grams of product and the price is around $23. I actually bought this off Ebay for $14. Amazing deal! I had never purchased makeup from Ebay and all other MAC cosmetics I own I purchased from MAC, so I was kinda hesitant, but It came perfect.
I put a swatch of the Springsheen along with the Revlon lipgloss in Peony on my hand. I wanted to show how well these two colors go together. I did a review on Peony if you wanna take a look! These colors just put me in the mood for Spring. Springsheen is the perfect Spring blush!
So take a look at the photos ↓ and tell me if you would wear this!
This is an Arabic Makeup I did.
I used gel liner to make a point in the tearduct along with a wing in the outer corner. I used a neutral shade on the lid and a darker shade for depth. I brought the dark shade up along the winged liner to smoke the wing out. I also ran black shadow along the bottom lash line. Then I put a little bit of MAC Twinks through the crease for a pop of color. I used MAC Well Dressed mixed with a tiny bit of Benefit Coralista for blush and MAC Viva Glam V on the lips!
Arabic makeup is so gorgeous. I love how intense the liner and eye makeup can be. It has a very sexy feel. I cannot wait to do more of these! Try them out girls and guys! If you do please comment with a link or photo so I can see it! :)
These are the skin care products I've found work great for my oily skin!
If you scroll down, you will see the photos and swatches.
Neutrogen Deep Clean Cleanser/Mask. This so cool because you can either use it as a cleanser or as a mask. I use the mask twice a week and I love it. It smells amazing, feels fresh, makes your skin smooth and keeps you oil free. It has rice protien that acts as little sponges to continue absorbing oil throughout the day! I bought this for $7 at Target. 6 FL OZ.
Garnier Moisture Rescue Gel-Cream. This is the first moisturizer I've found to not be too heavy. I've went throught so many to find the perfect one and this is it! Its cooling on the skin and where its a gel, it dries fast to keep oil at bay, yet still keeps your skin hydrated. I bought this at Walmart for $6. 1.7 OZ.
Clean&Clear Acne spot treatment. If I have any blemishes I will spot treat them with this after I use my cleanser and moisturizer. This works wonders! Its the only acne treatment I use and I love it. You can find this at any drugstore for around $5. 0.75 OZ
Loreal Eye Defense. I'm 24 so I don't have wrinkles yet and I don't want to use strong ingredients to treat wrinkles at this age. Uless you really need to. Its best to use something that protects from early aging. This is great. Its very moisturizing and I can tell when I use it. It helps brighten and its a great defense from wrinkles and bags! I highly recommend it! This is $12 at Walmart. 0.5 OZ.
No7 Pore Refining Serum. I don't always use this because I find it can be a little heavy for my oily skin. If you do have extremely oily skin, I recommend using this in place of your moisturizer when you use it. It takes 2 weeks of use to see results but this is one of the only pore serums that have been proven to show results, so I highly recommend it. It! I bought this at Target for $16. 1 FL OZ.
Olay Fresh Effects Shine Minimizing Cleanser. Ok first off, WOW! This product is by far the best product I have ever used to take away oil! I couldn't believe how long it kept the oil off my skin. Its amazing. It is formulated with kaolin clay which pulls out deep down oil and dirt. The only negative about this cleanser is it has fragrance in it and it does break me out sometimes so I can't use it all the time. That sucks because it works so well otherwise. Bought at Target for $6. 5.0 FL OZ.
I hope this is helpful for all you people with oily skin. It can be hard finding products that work well with oily skin. I've went through a lot of products and these are the ones I continue to repurchase. Give them a try and let me know how well they work for you and what your recommendations are for oily skin! Thanks for reading!! xxErika
This is gorgeous! I love the new Revlon Colorburst lipgloss. I think the packaging is so nice. The packaging reminds me of the Chanel lipgloss packaging. The color Peony is a beautiful peachy color with shimmer. It doesn't feel sticky and it lasts on the lips!
Craving is a pink lipstick with a purple undertone. It is an amplified finish, so it is very pigmented. It is one of my fave MAC lippies. I love sophisticated colors and this is perfect!
