How I Amp Up My Everyday Makeup

I’ve shared everyday makeup and skincare before, but sometimes you need to take it up a notch! I’ll admit it, I LOVE looking at new skincare and beauty and Sephora is a dangerous place for me to wander…..

I have my everyday basics pretty set, but sometimes you want to add something “special.” Today I wanted to share a few items that are in no way necessary – but they are fun!

Eyeshadow Palettes

I’ve always looked at eyeshadow palettes but never had a fun one until this Christmas! My mom had this Anastasia palette so I was able to try it – and then I got it as a gift. It’s so perfect for when you want to enhance your eyeshadow, and I’m a huge fan of sparkly shades. This has the right amount of sparkle without being too flashy. I’ve also heard great things about the Huda palettes!

Mascara Primer

I wear mascara daily, but I don’t spend the time adding primer unless I have a special event. This drugstore find can really enhance your mascara and look like you’re wearing false eyelashes. I’ve used this drugstore option from L’Oreal, but there are high end options to try as well. It definitely makes a noticeable difference in your eyelashes!

Bold Highlight

I wear this drugstore highlight daily, but when I have a special occasion I switch to this Charlotte Tilbury option. A little bit goes a long way, and it’s pricey, so I try to keep it for special events. This Fenty highlighter also looks like a fantastic option – and it’s SUPER bold!


I spend a lot of time watching YouTube as I clean or hang out – I love watching videos by Tati and Casey Holmes. I definitely don’t do that level of makeup ever, but it’s a fun way to learn more and get tips for special occasions!

Are you a beauty junkie too? Tell me I’m not alone 🙂 And let me know if there are other fun pieces I need to add to my collection!
