My Everyday Beauty Essentials

Hi guys!

So I was never really really into makeup when I was younger. I remember I first tried to wear makeup to school in the sixth grade and out of all things it was green eye shadow. And from then on it went probably just how you imagined it'd go.

I never got my eyebrows waxed until the 9th grade (thanks mom); two years later, half of my forehead burnt very badly due to maintaining the proper beauty essential brow wax and now I have not waxed them since. I still don't know how to apply falsies correctly, and honestly, how do you even properly wing eyeliner or perfect the blend of your eye shadows?

So your first impression? I'm sure, it's a wild mess. But ever since I got into that drug store green eye shadow in the sixth grade, I've been married to drugstore brands ever since (and also because I'm completely ballin' on a budget). And although I use a variety of different brands for products, brushes, mascara and more, I've never been left unsatisfied after any use of whichever brand it may be, or for whatever occasion I'm applying makeup for. They always get the job done and they do it exceptionally well.
