Just think about what a stack of over 6000 chalupas would look like (or cheesy gordita crunches). That is how excited we are about this milestone.

Make Up Tips I

I'm back, bitches! I may just be the worst blogger ever but at least Bailey did an amazing job this summer while I was busy watching Netflix and not doing anything. Anyway, I get a lot of questions from friends about make up. I'm really into make up and I've had a lot of practice because I've been wearing it since the age of like, 12 due to horrible skin. I thought I'd start this series by posting my favorite products that I use all the time.

 One of the most important things to know is that you do not need to spend a lot on make up products. While I do think that make up is one of the best things to splurge on, there are also tons of really great drugstore brands that are affordable and great quality. In fact I rarely buy make up from department store counters (besides skin care) because there are so many good cheap dupes nowadays. Most of the products I use are Revlon.

Revlon ColorStay Foundation. This comes in 2 formulas: Normal/Dry Skin and Oily/Combination Skin. I use the latter and I love it. I wear it every day, I wear it for special occasions, sometimes I mix it with my moisturizer and use it as a tinted moisturizer. It's a great foundation if you need a lot of coverage and if you have issues with your foundation sliding. ($12.99)

Revlon PhotoReady Concealer. Ok if you have under eye issues and you don't use concealer, you are a damn fool. Concealer is by far the most important product you should be wearing. This one is great because it doesn't show up in photos, and I know a lot of people are scared of concealer because they think it looks too light or heavy but that is really the whole idea. It brightens your entire face and makes you look awake. Best cure for hangover face. ($9.99, although I think its cheaper at Target)

This is by far my number 1 favorite mascara ever. In my opinion Maybelline has the best mascara line of almost any make up brand. The VolumExpress line is really amazing. The Falsies is definitely my favorite. I like big lashes all the time so this is perfect for me. (under $7.00)

Eyes Lips Face blush in Tickled Pink. Ok two things: 1. ELF is possibly the best thing to ever happen to me. Its dirt cheap and the quality is incredible. 2. Matte blusher is a god send for oily or problem skin. If you have bumps or large pores, try to avoid shimmery blush. ($3.00)

Always remember that make up is really accessible no matter what your budget is, and don't be afraid to use drugstore products!
