cruelty-free beauty! e.l.f.'s mineral infused face primer

View fullsize

Hello my loves! I guess I’ve been on a weird mineral-infused, vitamin-y kick lately, but today I’ll be reviewing e.l.f.’s Mineral Infused Face Primer. This was another case of me just wanting to try something new. Since I had run out of the other e.l.f. primer I was using, I took a trip to CVS and found that e.l.f. has sooooo many different types of primers! I don’t have a ton of skin problems, so I don’t need anything super special. So I figured this mineral-infused one would be my best bet.

I don’t have a ton to say about this one other than that it did the job! I didn’t really see a difference between this one and the one I was using before. I didn’t really see any change from the minerals in the formula. Maybe they’re supposed to do work on the inside of your face? I’ll do some research and let you guys know.

Overall though, I would definitely recommend this primer! I’ve reviewed a few primers on The Clunkster, so feel free to take a look around for which one is right for you.

Happy June! I feel like time has been flying lately. You know it’s been two years since I started this blog? They say time flies when you’re having fun, and I believe it ;)

This is one of my favorite summer looks! I always break it out at the start of summer. It just immerses me in summer vibes. On a grosser note, I’ve been outside so often lately, which means I’ve been super sweaty! Wearing lighter clothes is always the way to go for me, which is another reason I love this look so much.

I’ve been really into patterned pants lately, especially patterned shorts. This is one of my favorite pairs! They’re adorable, super lightweight, and so comfy. They’re perfect for just lounging around or going out; they’re really easy to dress up or dress down. My only complaint is that they’re really short, but I have long legs and a big butt, so that’s my problem with almost every pair of shorts I wear!

This shirt is another ride or die because it’s basic but unique. I know that’s a direct contradiction. But from the front, it just looks like a normal white crop top, but the back splits in two at the top so you can see my bandeau! I usually always stick with the black bandeau when I wear this top. I’ve tried to wear my bralette with it before, and the back looked so pretty, but since the fabric is so thin, the front is really see-through so it looks a little weird with the lace. The back always cools me off on a hot summer day. Back sweat is the worst!

And last but not least, I wore my white Converse to match my top. I left my hair a little messy, ditched the makeup since I’ve been so sweaty, and once again, pulled everything together with Katy Perry’s INDI perfume. I also wore my heart-shaped sunglasses, which I love, but they’ve been falling off my face a lot lately! I have a small head, so I have a lot of trouble keeping glasses on sometimes, but it never happened with these beauties. Hopefully one of those eyeglasses-fixers from CVS will do the trick. Fingers crossed!

How do you stay not-sweaty in the summertime? I know sweat is a part of life and a sign of activity and adventure, but it’s still so annoying! I hope you enjoy your weekend, no matter how sweaty it is!

Happy Wednesday! We’re halfway through the week! I’ve been loving the summer weather in Boston. I’ve been discovering so many cool new places I didn’t even know existed! It’s so nice to just walk around and take in the sights.

Here’s a look I’ve really been loving lately. I was just complaining about how I never wear bodysuits anymore, so I threw one on with my jean shorts. Since it was a little windy, I put on my favorite flannel since I haven’t worn one in a while. Flannels are perfect for layering, but they can sometimes get too hot in the summer!

My makeup was pretty normal, and I wore my black Converse. The perfume in this flatlay is Killer Queen, which is another one of my favorite Katy Perry Fragrances. It’s a heavenly mix of fruits and flowers.

Wherever you are in whatever weather, I hope you have a lovely second half of the week!

tank top (by Basil Lola). leggings. moccasins. perfume. lip crayon (in Outback Oasis).

Happy Memorial Day! Though it’s fun to appreciate the three-day weekend and sales, remember that every day is Memorial Day for people who have lost loved ones fighting for what they believe in. This day can be difficult for them, so remember to show them some love today!

I’ve been taking it easy before I start working for the summer, and I keep forgetting that I actually have stuff to do. It’s been a nice mental vacation, but I need to get back into the swing of things! Here’s a look I wore to go shopping a couple days ago.

Now that it’s nicer out, I can wear different things! This tank top is a hand-me-down from my cousin, and I love it. It’s super comfy and relatively casual, but the lace at the bottom just adds a little something extra. I wore my thinner leggings since temperatures are rising, and my Ugg moccasins that I haven’t worn in forever! I always forget just how comfy they are.

I did some pretty basic makeup, including my new obsession, my Burt's Bees lip crayon, and put my hair in a braided ponytail. I also wore Katy Perry’s Meow! perfume, which is one of my favorites by her. It smells just like cotton candy! I loooooove scents, so I’d love to start writing more about them here. Let me know if there are any perfumes you want me to review! I always love an excuse to buy things :’)

shirt (i don't know which shop, i'm sorry!) leggings. sneakers. perfume.

Hey hey! It’s finally the weekend! Today my dad came to visit me and we saw Solo together! It was awesome; definitely make sure you see it if you’re a Star Wars fan. I have another sorority ~Saturday~ look for you all today, and this one’s also pretty simple. My looks have been relatively simple lately.

For this look, I just paired my high-waisted leggings with this shirt my sorority bought in bulk. I’m not a huge fan of Kanye West, but I do love the design! The color is really unique. There are so many ways I wanna style this shirt.

I wore some white Converse, which I thought looked super cute since it matched the letters on the shirt and kept things casual and cute. They’re soooo dirty, I definitely need to wash them soon.

Like I said though, this look is super simple, but I still wanted to share it because I love sharing everything with you guys, and I love any excuse to talk about my sorority. Have a great weekend!
