I wish I could be that girl who only needs to put on some blush, a little mascara and walk out the door, but unfortunately I have dark circles (for being a night owl), and sallow looking skin (thanks to never going out in the sun-I keep telling myself that my skin will thank me when I'm older). I need to wear foundation to create a nice even looking finish, so for my everyday wear, I use my favorite MAC Kabuki 180 brush that gives me full coverage (this is the best brush out there IMO-but they have discontinued it-bummer!), or if I'm in a super rush, I'll use my fingers which gives a medium coverage. However if you are one of those beauties that are blessed with a great complexion, than a sponge will work great as it provides the lightest of coverage. 

What method do you use to apply foundation?

Nail Strips

Lately every time I walk down the beauty aisle, I always come across those nail stickers and think, "Those look really cool but I dont know if they're for me." I pick up a box or two to examine the colors and patterns, and then I put it back and continue shopping. For some reason I just couldn't justify the purchase, for the same price I could buy a brand new bottle of nail polish and use the bottle over and over again, whereas the nail strips are a one time thing. So when my friend gave me the Sephora for OPI Laquer Strips in Gold and Purple Ombre, I got super excited!  See how I did after the jump.
