My Highlight, Concealer and Bronzer Collection

Hey guys! Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! I am back with my January All About Makeup series with the products that I use the highlight, conceal and my bronzers!

Highlight

Mac Iridescent Loose Powder in Golden Bronze

I never really used any products to highlight before I started watching You Tube. I had no clue what highlighting was anyway lol! This was one of the first products that I picked up to try out and I love it so much! A little bit goes a long way with this powder and it is so pretty when the light hits your skin.

Benefit Cosmetics Watts Up

I completely forgot I had this product. I received this last year for my birthday from Sephora. It was a set with They're Real mascara and I really do like this as a highlight. I've only used it a few times but it has an easy application and it look so pretty. I would purchase a full size when I use this sample.

The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer

I received this in a Birchbox and haven't given it a try yet but I here so many good things about this product from other bloggers. The color looks amazing and it can also be used as an eyeshadow. I will be trying this out soon.

Concealers

Mac Pro Longwear Concealer in NC45

I've heard so much about this concealer and I honestly know why this is one of the best concealers out there. I love that it not too thick and a little bit goes a long way. My under eye area looks so refreshed and bright like I had a full night sleep. I just love this concealer so much!!

Maybelline Fit Me Shine Free Foundation Stick in Toffee Caramel

I received a coupon from Target for 2.00 off for this Fit Me Foundation line when it first launched. I couldn't figure out my shade so I got this to try as a concealer and I really like it. I use this more when I'm in a rush in the mornings. I just swipe it under my eyes and blend with my fingers. It give great coverage and its more of a matte look but I still looked refreshed. Hopefully I can figure out my shade so I can try this as a foundation.

Cover Girl Queen Collection Concealer in Light

This was the first concealer that I purchased ever. I never wore concealer and never knew what it really was until sometime last year. I didn't think I needed it so much but decided to give it a try. I picked this shade all by myself and I was really happy with this concealer until I purchased my Mac one.

Bronzers

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronze in Medium Deep

I got this bronzer in the Beauty Blogger Favorites kit from Sephora and I just love this bronzer. It gives such a nice glow and smells just like chocolate. Its hard not wanting to eat it!! I love that this bronzer doesn't have shimmer to it for times I don't want that shimmer look to my face.

Victoria's Secret Mega Glow Bronzer in Medium/Deep and Heatwave

I picked these bronzers up during the Semi Annual sale and I just love them. They are perfect for the summer time and just overall a great product to have. I don't think Victoria's Secret has these two anymore but I just love the glow they give my face and just how they look on my skin. I believe these are the first bronzers that I've tried out.

Pixi in Summertime

I received this bronzer in my my first Ipsy bag and I've always seen this brand in Target but wasn't too interested in trying them out. I do like this bronzer but it was too light for my complexion. I think I will use this as highlight or mix with another bronzer.

What are your favorite products to use for highlighting, concealing and as a bronzer? Comment and let me know!

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...

Sometimes its hard.....

You know when you keep thinking of something and you just feel like you have to get it out? That was me before sitting down to write this post. I had something else planned to write but I kept thinking...sometimes its hard and it just evolved from there. We all heard the sayings, life isn't fair, life is hard and so on. Sometimes life can be hard but we don't experience it for long. There are so many things that I want to do but I know I can't do a million things at once. I can't just pick and go anymore, I'm someone's parent now. There are times I want to but I know things have to be planned out now. I will get to those place I want to go, just have to be patient and plan it out. It seems like we focus so much on what is hard about life that we forget about the easy stuff. We forget sometimes about all the good things that happen and to be grateful for getting through those rough patches. You may not like your living situation but you have a roof over ...
