How I fix my face!

I am hoping one day, this blog will actually get some followers & get a new design! Maybe that's why no one reads me .. My blog looks boring! I am soooo not boring .. I need to get google "How to make my blog pretty" ASAP ..

Anyways .. I had the bright idea this weekend to show you how a simple girl, like myself, get's her face ready in the mornings, using normal, drug store, make up .. I know, I know .. I wish I could afford the good stuff but I'm poor .. & I'm cheap .. Spending $30 on foundation or $25 on mascara seems a bit overboard .. With coupons, I can buy both for less than $10 .. I am a sucker for E.L.F. Cosmetics, Covergirl and good old Wet N Wild .. yes, they still make that stuff ..

I'm going to show you my step by step on how I get pretty .. Because trust me, after these pictures, you will understand why I go NO WHERE without makeup! Yikes face!

Here is my make up bag, my lovely brush & yes, my broken comb .. I'm telling you, you will judge me and I can see your faces now, making faces of horror .. I need help, yes, I know! Also, my broken mirror and Revlon tweezers .. I tweeze every single day .. I TRY to get my eyebrows waxed as often as possible, but again, I'm poor, so tweezing is my only option!

Next, are the products I use first and foremost ..

I start off - clean face - I use Cetaphil to wash my face and I use Sea Breeze to clean off the residue left behind .. I apply these next 2 items ..

 First - I use my ELF tinted moisturizer, followed by my L'Oreal True Match foundation .. Applying it with a wedge sponge .. Yes, I still use these .. After this picture, I did throw this one away .. I change sponges every week ..

Here is my face before I start & after using my moisturizer and foundation .. I apologize for these in advance! Not my best look!

As you can see, I have terrible red patches on my cheeks & nose, I also have dark circles under my eyes pretty bad ..

After using my moisturizer and foundation, I use these next products .. Covergirl pressed powder, ELF bronzer & ELF Blush .. My blush brush is from like 1999, I promise .. It's terrible .. I just have yet to find one as big and stiff as this one .. I love it .. I hate super soft brushes .. I feel like they don't work as well ..

Here is my lovely face after I apply these 3 .. I promise, I'm a happy person .. I look terrible when I smile & I have no idea why I have one eye bigger than the other!

After my face is finally on, it's time to start my eyes! I very rarely wear eye shadow but when I do, it's usually a darker shade .. and I hardly ever use eye liner unless I'm going out .. Which is not often ..

I am IN LOVE with this mascara .. I've been using it since it came out .. One thing I am not a big fan of, is waterproof mascara .. I never use it .. I'll stick with raccoon eyes when I'm crying .. Makes it look more real .. The eyeshadow is from the Salon where I get my hair done .. It was only $1.00 .. I'm thinking maybe I should change my blog name to Cheap, Easy & Half Man .. I bet I would at least get ONE follower!

So here is my lovely face after adding my eyes .. It amazes me, how different mascara makes you look .. That is my ONE beauty product I could NOT live without, for sure!

Last, but not least, my luscious lips! I use basic lip stain I found at Victoria's secret 3 years ago on sale followed by Wet N Wild lip gloss to give me some shine!

Voila! Here is my finished product ..

As you can see, this is my cry for help .. What products do you use? What are your favorite brushes? Any suggestions on when to throw out makeup/brushes and start fresh? I want to have a flawless face that lasts .. I can never seem to have my AM face stay on for the PM .. HELP!
