My Foundation Collection

January is all about makeup, all the makeup that I currently own!! I am starting with my foundations that I own. I always thought it was so hard to match my complexion because I have a yellow undertone. When I was on the search for foundation, I ran into ones that made me look too yellow, too dark, my skin looked ashy but I finally found a few that I just love so much!!

Liquid Foundation- MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC50

 This is actually the only liquid foundation I own surprisingly! I really want to branch out and try drugstore and other high end ones but MAC matches my complexion perfectly! I love the coverage it gives and how flawless my skin looks! 
Powder Foundations- MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Dark and Makeup Forever Pro Finish in Neutral Caramel

 Now the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish is actually for setting your makeup(Well I've seen a lot of MUA on YouTube use it for that purpose) but I use it as a powder foundation. It gives a light coverage and just looks amazing on my skin. I will actually try to set my makeup with this sometime but I love it as a foundation. 

 I was in Sephora looking around and I was always curious about Makeup Forever. I didn't think that I was a match for any of the foundations but boy was I wrong. I love this powder, it gives me full coverage and to me it has a bit of a matte finish. My T-Zone doesn't get oily at all and I think I want to try out the liquid foundation next by Makeup Forever.
BB Cream- Maybelline Dream Fresh in Deep

 Funny thing about this BB Cream is that I first tried it the shade below this one and it was too light. I honestly thought this one was going to be too dark but it was perfect! This is my everyday foundation! I love that it hide my imperfections and gives my face a nice glowing, healthy look! I'm so glad I finally found a BB Cream that matches my skin and looks amazing! 
Tinted Moisturizer- Stila Sheer Color in Deep

 Now before I found my BB Cream, I was hearing all about tinted moisturizers during the summer. I looked around for a while and came across this one by Stila at Sephora. I instantly fell in love and used this all summer. It looked really great when I paired it with bronzer for that summertime glow effect. I also love that it has SPF in it so it was perfect for the summer. 

What are your favorite foundations? What are your recommendations for liquid foundations for me to try? Let me know!

    I wish I could wear MAC liquid foundations. They break me out. Love some Mineralized Skin finish! I don't wear a full face of makeup without it. Great product. I wanna try that BB cream. I've seen quite few bloggers mention this quite a bit. Thanks for sharing

Taking a break.......

On Tuesday I did mention that I had some exciting news to share. I have been working part time for a while and searching like crazy for full time work. I was starting to get a little frustrated but never gave up. Well a full time opportunity came up at my current job and I am now full time status!!! I was just so overjoyed and thankful. I will have a more stable income, I can go back to school and start to make some moves. Then I started to get a little overwhelmed. How was I going to juggle being a full-time working mom, grad student, blogger and balance everything else. It has been a while since I had a full time schedule and based my blogging schedule around my days off during the week. I start my full time hours next week and just need to take a small break away from Naturalle Drea. I really didn't want to because I love this so much but I need to see how to handle everything. I will most likely change my blogging schedule around. Thank you to those who have been encouraging to...

Updated: How I currently store my makeup

Hey guys! Back in January, I took everyone through my entire, well majority of my makeup collection. I showed how I used to store my makeup. You can see that original post  here.  I had everything stored in my empty Birchboxes. It was working for a while until I went to two makeup shows and I didn't have a place for everything! As I was cleaning one day, I saw that had this tall storage bin with stuff that I don't even use anymore and thought it would be a great place to store all my makeup and still have it organized. Here is a picture of where my makeup is currently stored. I believe I purchased this 7 drawer unit at Walmart years ago and glad I kept it! It has come in handy. I'll take you through what is in each drawer. I'll start with the top of the unit where all my brushes, setting sprays (that I haven't used yet lol), OCC lip tars( I couldn't find anything to store them in but that red cup lol. I'll have to decorate it later.) and other items...

No Buy is Officially Over!!

Yay!! I survived 2 months without a single makeup purchase!! I am so proud of myself and knew I had the will power to do it!! It really helped me staying out of Sephora, Ulta and Mac, the usual places that get me in trouble lol! When I went into Target or Walmart, I wouldn't even go near the makeup section. Funny thing is, I haven't run to the store yet to purchase anything on my wish list yet but I will soon. You can see what is on my wish list here.  After organizing my makeup, I realized I have a lot of products that I don't use and need to try out soon. I'm going to try to really shop my stash before running out and buying something new. Maybe next time, I will go for a 3 month no buy!! Have you successfully completed a no buy? What is currently on your wish list? Comment below and let me know!! ~** Drea Notes**~ We went to the beach today and I'm so glad we did! It was such a fun day with the family!! I'm trying to get back to working out lol!  ...
