Waking up is hard. There are some days where by noon I'm thinking to myself, "How on earth did I get out of bed? I don't even remember today before 10am," and that's why routine is so important to me in the morning. Today I thought I would share my morning routine with you, just because.
1. When I wake up in the morning I generally start by washing my face, I use Target's Up&Up (great name right?) products and tend to graviate towards something with a little exfoliant action.
2. After a good cleanse I apply a little anti-aging lotion with SPF and I've been using Garnier's lotion for about two years now.
3. After the basics are covered I comb out my hair and pretend not to notice it until I style it later.
4. Next I tackle the make-up. I begin by applying a little MAC blush in Dainty to my cheeks and eyes, then I add highlight to my eyes with Urban Decay eyeshadow in Sin.
5. I throw on a coat of mascara, I use Cover Girl's Lash Blast Volume and my eyes are done.
6. After my eyes I go back to my cheeks and apply a little bronzer to both my cheeks and the ridge of my nose. My bronzer is so old the label has worn off so I have no idea who makes it. That probably means I need to replace it, but I'm cheap and lazy, HA!
7. If I'm feeling extra fresh I'll put on a little lipstick to brighten up my face, my favorite being Revlon's Moon Drops 24k Orange.
Lastly, I style my hair however I'm feeling that morning and I'm ready to go. You may have noticed that I keep things pretty low-key in the makeup department and on most days this really is how I operate. I think it's important to point out that generally for outfit posts I put on a little extra makeup and usually foundation. We all need a little extra help sometimes. big kiss, bekuh
I'm the same with routines in the morning! I haven't really had one up until the past few weeks, but ever since I've started one getting up seems so much easier! :) On a different note, I really love the tray that you've used! So pretty!! Rhi xx

My morning routine is literally shower, spend 10 minutes deciding what to wear and what accessories go with it, and get out of the house. I can't seem to find a mascara that I really like, but I really the Amazon (make-up company, not like amazon.com) blushes! Any mascara suggestions?
ReplyDelete<3Hima
I have such a hard time with Mascara! For some reason it always flakes or smudges. The best and cheapest I have found is Cover Girl Exact Eyelights Waterproof. It doesn't flake or smudge and isn't too heavy or thick.

Good luck!

my absolute favorite is clinique mascara. it really does elongate my lashes and it even brightens up my eyes!
Deletelove your routine, and that cute tray! my routine is similar...tinted moisturizer, liquid eyeliner, eyelash curler, mascara, and perfume. but my curly hair requires a slightly more intense/product-laden process! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about other's makeup routines. My morning routine has a lot more steps (foundation, etc) but I still can get it done in less than 15 minutes.
ReplyDeleteI love cream blushes, and have never used bronzer, my skin is unbelievably fair so I don't think it would work...

I'm liking your laid back routine. I tend to stick to face wash, 2 second hair, mascara and blush. I have little patience for getting ready in the morning :)
ReplyDeleteI use those Body Shop brushes, too. I think they are quite good and feel nice on the skin!
ReplyDeletesuch a neat post. i can't agree more -- getting up early & getting yourself primped helps SO much to having a productive day. i'm jealous at how little makeup you get away with! oh, if only i could go without foundation...i won't...you'd all be horrified ; ) xo!
ReplyDeletethat mascara is DEFINITELY my fave!!
ReplyDeleteI loveee that face wash. I wish we had Target here because Im having withdrawals already!
ReplyDeletelove your blog! :)
ReplyDeletehaha! What a good routine. I neeeverrr have enough time to put on make up before work...my routine now is get up, brush my teeth, and get dressed. I dont do my hair, face, anything. I bought facial wipes because...well it was getting pretty bad that I didnt wash my face well in the morning. Maybe I SHOULD do it. Inspired! :)
