My Two Cents | Spreading Love

Hey ladies! In case no one else has told you today, I just wanted to take a moment to tell each and every one of you that you are beautiful--each and every one of you in your own individual ways. And each and every one of you are special. It doesn't matter what race or nationality you are, what your sexuality may be, or what age you are. I don't care if your hair is relaxed, texlaxed, natural, permed, weaved, or if you're bald-- you're beautiful. I don't care if you wear makeup or not, you're beautiful. Even if others criticize you for the ways you choose to wear your hair or how you apply your makeup. That's your prerogative.

Beauty Tips + Tricks | Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara

This beauty story is a part of a Maybelline #FalsiesPushUpDrama #shop compensated by Collective Bias and its advertiser. This is my story with my opinions. 

What types of beauty tips and tricks do you search for when creating a beauty look of your own? As a person that always takes notice to eyes,  beautifully groomed brows, and luscious lashes when I peruse beauty blogs and magazines, I'm looking to enhance each of these. And to have a moment of honesty with you guys, I've struggled with that a lot over the years. My brows are sparse and often unruly. Not to mention, my lashes are very short and barely detectable. So finding an affordable mascara that defines my "barely there" lashes while giving them volume is always on the top of my beauty buy list.

Making note of mascaras and brow products to add to my beauty buy list, I considered items that would allow me to play up my eyes with as little effort as possible. Now as much as I love looking well put together, I don't always love all the work that goes into doing a full face of makeup. So in searching for new beauty products to simplify my everyday looks, I recently stopped by Walmart (you guys know I STAY in Wallyworld) to see what they had in store.
