Blogger Buys #1

I see these kinds of posts every once in a while, so I just had to do one of my own!

I spend a lot of time reading beauty blogs or watching beautiful vloggers, so occasionally I let myself get carried away when one blogger gives a great review of a product. Some of these products I have reviewed before, but I thought I’d round up some of the many blogger-induced purchases I’ve made and show them to you guys.

Living in the Southern US, summer time means that my makeup is never going to look flawless. It’s important, at least to me, to look like I put a lot of effort into my makeup, even when I usually end up putting on the bare minimum. By the end of the day, if I’ve been out and about in the Alabama humidity, my foundation is going to be a sweaty mess, and my eye makeup will probably end up everywhere other than on my eyes. However, a good, eye catching lipstick draws all the attention away from whatever makeup malfunctions I might be experiencing, so a bright lipstick is an absolute staple of my summer makeup.

Let’s look at a few of my favorites.
