Her Face for Less | Edit: Anna Saccone

I love watching makeup tutorials on YouTube and using them for inspiration in my own makeup routine. I've decided that I am going to practice a spending ban for the month of November, buying only things I need. The problem with this is that when I watch the makeup looks and see the products they use I tend to want to buy them straight away! For the month of November I've decided to try something new and recreate the makeup looks I love using only drugstore products I already own! 
For the first post in this 'her face for less' series I chose Anna Saccone's newest everyday makeup tutorial. I love this look, I think it's super pretty and simple while still being shimmery and glowing.
I'm pretty sure these are going to be the products I use for the majority of these makeup looks as they are my favourite products from my makeup collection. 
1. Foundation: Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless in 120 Natural Ivory
2. Concealer: Rimmel Wake Me Up in 125 Very Fair
3. Powder: NYX Stay Matte but Not Flat in 02 Nude 
4. Bronzer: Revlon Bronzer in 012 Bronzilla
5. Blush: Revlon Powder Blush in 003 Mauvelous 
6. Brows: e.l.f. Gel & Powder Eyebrow Kit in Medium
7. Eyeshadow: Smashbox Full Exposure Palette; S4 inner corner and under brow bone, S5 all over lid, M1 in crease and lower lash line, M7 tight line and 1/3 lower lash line 
8. Eyeliner: NYX Super Skinny Eye Marker in Carbon Black (used scotch tape to create precise line)
9. Lips: NYX retractable lip liner in 10 Nude with 06 Nude Pink over top 
10. Mascara: Covergirl LashBlast Volume Waterproof in Very Black 
  I'm really happy with the finished look! I think it's one that I would wear on a regular basis. 

Anna's Products
Benefit Browzings in Medium ($42)
Charlotte Tilbury The Golden Goddess Eyeshadow Palette ($64)

My Products

total: $137.50

Saving $218.50 for this look, I mean I can't complain what so ever! I definitely could have used a L'Oreal or Maybelline nudes palette to make this look even cheaper, but alas I'm still very obsessed with my Smashbox palette haha. 

I hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know in a comment if there's another look you'd like me to recreate for less!

Thanks for reading & stay beautiful*

Edit: Kardashian Street Style | Get the Look

I have a few guilty pleasures in this life... The Kardashians being one of those. Beyond being a hilarious, close knit family, their style is unreal! 
I have chosen three of my favourite Kardashian looks- one from each of the sisters and have recreated them. I took inspiration from the sisters, sifted through my own wardrobe and put together an outfit inspired by each look.
 Khloé
I love this look on Khloe! She pulls off the badass-lumberjack-chiq look like no one else! 
Somehow I don't own a single plain white shirt... go figure haha. But I thought the pale sky blue of the one I went for did the trick! I'm wearing a t-shirt from H&M, a TNA flannel from Aritzia and denim shorts from Winners. My work boots are from Mark's Work Warehouse. Instead of a headscarf, like Khloé wore, I went for sunglasses- more summery in my opinion! I finished off the look with a Khloé inspired flashy watch. 
Kim
Leave it to Kim Kardashian to always look effortlessly flawless, even just walking down a dirty sidewalk.
I'm not much of a heels girl, so I went for some cute rhinestoned sandals instead. My black mini is from Garage as well as the belt. The tank top and denim jacket both come from Dynamite. Accessory-wise, the black tote bag is from H&M and the aviators were picked up at Sunglasses Hut. I really love this look and was surprised by how different it made me feel in comparison to the look inspired by Khloé. I completely took on the confidence of Kim and embraced her sexy style! This look is a game changer for me.
Kourtney
Last, but certainly not least, is Kourtney. I think Kourt is always so glamorous and stunning! I wanted to choose a look of hers that I would consider her 'signature' street style. Simple, feminine, and sexy.
I loved Kourtney's pairing of a light crop top and darker wash, high rise jeans. My crop top is from H&M and the jeans come from American Eagle. Unfortunately I couldn't find a photo with the shoes Kourtney wore with this outfit. However, I've noticed her rocking white shoes a lot so I threw on my white Keds. I really love this look- I felt feminine, dainty, and pretty!

I hope you enjoyed this get the look post! Let me know whose style I should steal next!

Keep your eyes open for the Jenner edition!
