L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation - First Impression

Hello Loves,

I decided to try a new foundation today! Not only is it only $12 but I actually like it! I usually don't LOVE drugstore foundations. They somehow always make me break out or don't work like how I want them to. I'm a big believe of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" but I'm trying to expand my makeup collection since it's been awhile since I've used my makeup. Out with the old and in with the new!! 

The L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation is a liquid foundation that helps "brighten" your skin so it is luminous. There is 40% pure water so your skin will be hydrated all day. Also antioxidants vitamins C and E to help improve clarity and your skin tone. 

I would suggest this foundation to my friends who have dry skin that want hydration! If you have oily skin I would probably say this foundation is a no-go for you. 

When applying the foundation I used a flat buffer foundation brush that was more condense and helps gives the "airbrushed" glow. It's one of my favorite ways to apply foundation! 

After having the foundation on for the whole day I found that it was hard to not want to touch my face. I felt that I could still feel the foundation on my face which I don't like but it didn't bother me too much. I feel like I would have to watch out for people's clothes if I was to go to hug them because I would be too afraid that I'd get makeup on their clothes. But that is how most foundations are and since this one is very liquidity it only makes sense that it will move around on the face throughout the day. With that, I do think it is pretty lightweight! Not cakey! 

That is all I have to say about the Lumi foundation! Great for the price! I love that I didn't have to spend $50 for my foundation this time around! I'd give it a 4 out of 5 stars! 

Have you tried the Lumi Foundation! How did you like it? Comment below!

MAC Warm Neutral Palette Fall Makeup Tutorial

Ohemgeeee guys!!! Long time no talk! It's been while. I know. I've been back and fourth about so many things for the past summer. Like changing my url again to changing up the content on my blog/youtube channel. It drove me crazy for so long but I've finally decided to just go with it! Just relax! Do what I want! That is why I started this blog so many years ago!!! Just to do what I love and have fun!! I decided to go back to what I love to do. Make videos and blog about my favorite fashion trends and outfits. I've missed just making videos of what I love and not having pressure to put out stuff that people want to see. Of course, I will always take request because I love hearing from you dolls! But there are things that I love to do that I will be doing more!!

So! I just put up a new makeup tutorial! I have a new set up and wish I thought of this sooner!!! (and of course I'm going back to school next week but I'm hopefully going to be filming there too! I just need to see how everything is set up.)

My new favorite palette is the MAC Warm Neutral Palette. I bought it a few months ago and totally fell in love! I bought the warm palette because of my skin tone. I thought it would bring out the "tan" but not so tan skin. (Thank god for self tanner because I got no sun this summer! But that is also okay! I may talk more about that later) Check out my new look for fall using this palette.

Lots of Love,
Lizz

Stay Positive. Keep Going.

Staying healthy and fit has always been a lifestyle choice for me. I always try to stay fit and eat clean but it doesn't always happen. Now that I'm 21 years old I realize how difficult it is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I'm not that 17 year old who played volleyball and tennis and worked out on top of that. I now know how America is so overweight! Working a 9-5 job 5 days a week and a night job on Saturdays is tough! I try to eat clean but sometimes that one person in the office brings chocolate peanut butter fudge brownies and tell yourself not to eat them! Sometime you have to indulge even if it's half a brownie instead of a full block!!

Keeping weight off as an adult is tough when your working all the time and having a life. When I'm at school I'm completely focused! I go to the gym practically everyday, eat healthier, and stay motivated. But for some reason when I try to do this at home it's harder. Probably because of my nana's cooking...but in my defense I've been doing really good!! I workout even if it's at 10 o'clock at night! I take the stairs walking to my internship everyday! But sometimes cookies come to play...mostly gluten free options but still...I try every day to keep up with everything. I wish I had more time to spend on working at my best self but sometimes you just have to make due with what you got.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is yes it's hard to workout and stay healthy. It's a lifestyle change! It will be worth the wait! You have to be patient! That coming from the girl who can't wait for anything!!! Believe me when I say when your time comes and you know you want a lifestyle change good things will happen. Keep going! You can do it!!! Stay Positive!

Lots of Love,

It All Started With A Pair Of Heels...

Well, it's about that time...the time being the first ever blog post I posted on the internet. Today, July 3rd marks the first day I posted my first blog. I know I've changed names about 10 million times and I know I don't have the most following ever but I'm proud to call myself a blogger. I wish I was dedicated to it more and I'm working on it. I really am! Sometimes I get discouraged because I've been blogging for 5 years and don't have much of a following but then I remember why I started. I wanted to give girls (and guys if there are some reading) my advice on life! From beauty to fashion to  fitness to love and more!
Some much good has come out of this blog even if it hasn't gone to far! It's been through the rough times, the good times, the sad times, and the happy. But I'm not the awkward 16 year old you use to know! Ok, I'm still awkward...some things never change. But I have grown up a lot! You've seen my awkward high school years, prom, pageants, graduation, first days of college, hair colors (brown to blonde!, see me throw the years saying how much I want to do acting and modeling and I'm finally achieving my dreams! If there's one thing that hasn't changed are my dreams. I know I've always wanted to be an actress/model/fashion designer and one day that is exactly what I'll be. All you need to do is stay focused. Sometimes little things get in the way but you just need to brush them off and remember that Rome wasn't built in a day (is that how the saying goes haha).
I hope when you read my blog that you see a friend, someone you've known for years and keep up with through the blog. New things are to come always. I hope you follow along :) I know I'm not perfect but I'm having fun! And that's all that matters.
