UP YOUR SUMMER BEAUTY GAME WITH VANITY PLANET

summer is fast approaching, + with warmer temperatures comes the need for a new makeup routine. i'm not amazing at makeup + i've never spent more that 10 minutes putting on products in my life! time [+ laziness because let's be honest] is my biggest concern when it come to beauty routines. my mornings are always so busy, + makeup seems to get pushed to the back-burner if i'm running out the door. on a mission to change that, i've decided to up my beauty game with vanity planet + give you some tips to do the same! 

TIP #1 - CLEAR OUT OLD OR BROKEN PRODUCTS

get those crumbed guys out of there! all they do is take up space in you bag + make things dirty! you're left spending time digging around in search of the products you actually use! a lot of makeup stores or brands will take back their used containers + give you a discount on your next purchase also! 

TIP #2 - KEEP YOUR MAKEUP BAG ORGANIZED

this tip kind of goes in tandem with #1, but it's still important! i like to organize by category [i.e. lip colors, eye products, everyday basics, etc] + secure everything together with rubberbands or hairties. it's like an added bonus, because when you're traveling, you've got extra elastics on hand! it also just helps to keep everything neat. #OCDFTW

TIP #3 - INVEST IN SOME NEW MAKEUP BRUSHES

as i mentioned before, i'm not one to put alot of my time into makeup. i'm also not one to splurge on makeup supplies at all. but, i have discovered the necessity of a set of high-quality makeup brushes! mine are from vanity planet + i'm in love! the bristles are so soft + durable --- i definitely recommend them! by having this high-end brushes, you save yourself from having to fix any imperfections that would have resulted from low-quality brushes, like bristles left behind on your face! check out the VP site for more information on their brush sets + their other products!

TIP #4 - IF ALL ELSE FAILS, THROW ON SOME LIPSTICK

it's true. people know me for my love of lip colors! [if you don't believe me, read my FAQ!] if you find that you're running EXTRA late, or that the previous tips have failed you [sorry :( ] throw on some lipstick + SLAY. THE. GAME. works 100% of the time, every time. 

what about you? have you tried any tips or tricks that have helped you step up your makeup game? how about any vanity planet products? they're killer, you guys! take a look around their site - the branding is magic! anyway, i hope these tips help you guys in some way; i know they worked magic for me! happy beautifying!
