My Winter Makeup Bin

Sunday, January 25, 2015

Lo and behold, I'm sick again.

For some reason, I've being getting sick so much during this fall-winter season. I want to say this is my third or fourth time getting sick this season alone. I had a cold back in October, I got the flu a few weeks back over New Year's, and I have a cold again. I feel like I may have gotten bronchitis or a pneumonia now? I had a raging fever on Wednesday and I've just been coughing and hacking since.

I've also been having a lot of negative thoughts raging through my mind lately. One of my biggest goals this year is to stay positive, but sometimes life just brings you down so hard and it's really hard to get back up again. I'm really trying to turn my mood around and get things flowing again (because I literally have spent the entire weekend doing absolutely nothing), but I'm on a miserable rotation during a very crappy time of the year, so it's very very hard.

But anyways, without further moping, I wanted to talk about some makeup today. Talking about beauty products makes me happy so this post is a perfect pick-me-up for me on this crappy weekend. I always find the months of January and February to be a little awkward because it's right in between the holiday time and spring. It's also a very dull part of the year because it's always snowy and cold and gross out, and the time that seasonal depression rates skyrocket. To perk things up during this dull time of the year, I like to use glowy skin products and keep things neutral on my face. I bust out my bronzers, highlighters, and sparkly eyeshadows to make things look more alive while keeping my makeup looks as natural and nude as possible. So as you see my most used products of the month down below, you'll see that neutral tones, sparkle, and shimmer is the theme for my January-February winter makeup bin.

Here's what I keep in my everyday makeup bin on my dresser for the wintertime. I do switch things up every now and then (especially my lip products), but these are my everyday reach-for beauty products. I didn't mention any foundations or face concealers or powders, but I go back and forth between my bareMinerals foundation and the L'Oreal True Lumi liquid foundation, with my bareMinerals Mineral Veil as a setting powder.
