Makeup Monday: 5 Primers You Will Love!

5 Primers You Will Love! #MakeupMonday #BeautyBlogger #Primers by lizeverettstyle featuring too faced cosmetics

Hey Girlfriend, 

I am so excited to share with you this Makeup Monday! I am crazy about +Too Faced Cosmetics primers! I use their eye and face primers. I first found it a few months ago when I picked up the beauty blogger sample kit at +Sephora  this past February and now I am hooked 100%. It is so effective for pictures and also for covering my pores and blemishes.

What is a makeup primer?

According to WiseGeek.com a makeup primer is a cosmetic designed to smooth and conceal fine lines and uneven skin texture. Much like primer for painting, it ensures that a person has a smooth, even, uniformly colored surface on which to apply cosmetics, and helps them adhere properly to the skin. It's generally made from materials such as waxes, polymers, and silicone, and often contains extra ingredients for SPF protection. There are a variety of area-specific and problem-specific primers: for instance, one for lips can keep lipstick from feathering, and a tinted one can make a splotchy complexion look better. Though makeup can look fine without using these products, it generally won't last as long and may not have quite as polished a look.

When I need to bring in the big guns though like for my under eyes I use MAC Cosmetics Prime & Prep. It is a number one amazing experience and I am in love with the coverage as well as control I have when I use it. I am so excited to share it with you as well as the other primers in the top 5 list! 

So many of you may think that is great but is it necessary. In my opinion yes it is for sure necessary! You want to make sure you have a long lasting foundation experience. For me my experience has been that my foundation lasts longer and I look so much better in pictures because my foundation is smooth. 

Going back to MAC Prime & Prep I use either a foundation brush or my clean fingers to apply it. A simple sweep makes it perfect and I am ready to apply my foundation. I hope you love it as much as I do! 

Success & Beauty,

xo Liz

4 Fab Shades for Spring

4 Fab Shades for Spring by lizeverettstyle featuring NYX

Hey Girlfriend! 

Ok girls it is that time of year when we have to start makeup shopping for spring & summer because our skin changes and so does the projection of the sun which means everything from your coverage with your foundation to the products and color selection you wear will change. 

Let me walk you through this starting with your lipstick! Here are 4 great shades and in a pink your lipstick can double as blush. You know we all loose things and I am the queen of either loosing my lipstick or my blush! 

Well at least I found my blush brush LOL!

I will also tell you that you will need a lip liner for the lipstick because it looks crazy being undefined. Some girls feel like they can get away with it and that is ok but in order for you to have an excellent pout you should definitely apply lip liner and really roll it on there because it helps keep the lip shape and definition is so important.

I want to see you shine bright like a diamond this spring & summer!

Wardrobe Wednesday: Workday Glam

Hey Girlfriend! 

Anybody who knows me will tell you that I am all about a style statement and the easiest way to make a style statement is your accessories. Make a decision that you are going to start investing in yourself. Not just with new certifications for work or new skills but in your appearance as well! 

It is so important to look good and feel good in what you are wearing. You accessories is one way to do that. You do not have to buy sets just buy random pieces and match them based on them having similar characteristics.

Transformation Tuesday: My journey truly begins today!

Transformation Tuesday: My journey truly begins today! by lizeverettstyle on Polyvore

So today this journey really got real! I finally had that commitment melt down that for me always let's me know I am moving in the right direction. But first I have to come clean. This journey for me is a little more complicated than just planning it out and moving forward. 

You see I have never been functionally thin and I started this blog not just to share but to free myself as well. Writing is therapy for me and I can not just let you think that this journey to my personal goals really has anything to do with just my weight or what I see visually in the mirror because at the end of the day 'weight' is a trigger for something else.

The road has been long but I believe I am strong enough now for the journey. I suffered with an eating disorder from 12 years old until I was about 22. Now I traded one disorder for the other. I have to just admit that I am a stress eater and the more personally successful I become the more shame, fear and guilt I have about what great things could lie just over the hill. 

Now maybe some of you are thinking.... huh? But at the end of the day we all have our thing that holds us back. Some of you it is stress, loss, dealing with your kids, wondering how you got to a certain place in life when you had so many amazing plans. There are a million reasons but there is only one way out. We can no longer stay locked in a personal prison and call it life.

 This morning's total melt down really took me by surprise but I have to admit that after I really let the dust settle I realized that since overcoming the eating disorder the thought of ever having to see that girl's face in the mirror, which inevitably the thinner I become the more I look like 'her', terrifies me. 

So I have to face her, these feelings, the heartache and all of the left over emotions I have been carrying on my back for so many years. I truly thought I was 8 years past all of this but at the end of the day I never seem to stick it out. When things become a pattern you have to find a way to end the cycle and for me part of ending the cycle is clearing the air. I want to let other women know that I am not perfect so that they can see the beauty within themselves.

Isn't it funny how the same things you thought you had let go you have to be strong enough to face again so you can release them on another level. In truth life is about levels of release as well as ebb and flow. There is a quote that says something like you only drown if you stay under water. The act of falling in the water is not what cuts off  your air flow. It is the submission or resignation that moment when you give up and stop fight.

I was not built to give up or taught to submit. I was built to fight and girlfriend if you do not feel like you can fight fake it until your power comes. Say to yourself, "I can and I will because I will not give myself another option!"

The biggest reason that I will succeed is because I am going to move out of the way and let God fight my battle. I am going to arm myself with his word and when that feeling of defeat comes I am going to remind myself even scream it out if I have to that I am a Proverbs 31 Woman who was built for battle, I am more than a conqueror in the name of Jesus and all things are possible through him.

So here is my personal declaration.....
I am over it! I have never flown as high as I know I am capable of and I have so much to do, to share and to say not just so that I can give birth to the amazing future God has called me to but I was created to help you too.

In my mother's womb God ordained me to be a problem solver, gave me the anointing of David and  the ability to stand in every test but this test will be the most trying so I am going to really have to work at it. I have to change my lifestyle, my thinking patterns and my habit of procrastinating when it comes to me or something that I do for myself. 

NO MORE EXCUSES! YOU KNOW BETTER NOW DO BETTER! 

Self Inventory: 

STEP 1. GET REAL WITH YOURSELF! 

• What has plagued you from your past? 
• What issues are consistent that you do not like to admit to yourself?
• What are you hiding from yourself?

Just begin to meditate on the weight from a totally different perspective. What ever the dysfunction, blockage or clogged artery of your life it is time to just gain some perspective so we can both move forward.

Each week we will have a new step so we can start working through this thing together! I love you girlfriend & I know we can do it! 

Keep up with me on Instagram & see what I am eating, my workouts, and even what I am wearing to the gym everyday!

Inspired Speak #quote #proverbs31 #gogirl by lizeverettstyle on Polyvore

My question to each and everyone of you is: Who are you to 

disqualify yourself from being fabulous, amazing, feminine, 

curvacious, wonderful and worthy of all of the above? 

Remember that God does not make any mistakes. There may 

be things or people who have told you were less than 

amazing but I speak life to you today! You are more than 

amazing!

I speak to the Proverbs 31 woman that is in each one of us. I 

want to remind you that you are worth more than rubies & 

pearls according to Proverbs 31:10. Do not just use the word 

as your weapon but as your source of knowledge about who 

you are. Pay no attention to your DNA your spritual DNA is 

unlimited in the name of Jesus and you are capable of 

greatness everyday!

It comes to a point where we have to stop pretending and start being. There are some serious break throughs that have to happen this year. It is not just a moment of realizing but about following through. Perfect example is if you realize you need to loose 20 pounds get on it or if you can tell that it is time to revamp your wardrobe then let's get started. You may only have $10 your name right now but take $5 start looking around for sale pieces or simply window shop until you are ready to invest.

I make no secret that I am always writing to the Proverbs 31 woman in all of us but today I am calling her out. I am calling all of us out and declaring that today is the day. If you have never followed through on anything today is the day that you start checking in with me on Mondays and Tuesdays right here on the Liz Everett Style Blog but more importantly that you start creating goals for your next 5 -10 years. We will do it together. Look out for Monday's Step 1 article.
