I never realized how much time I spent just getting my everyday look together. I used to spend about 15-20 minutes and now, well, I don't have that kind of time anymore.
Enter: Alleyoop.
Before Alleyoop, my bag contained 9 products and my makeup routine took 15-20 minutes; after Alleyoop, I only need 4 products and I'm out the door in 5. Here’s what I’m turning to:
My Alleyoop Products:
1. 11th Hour Cream Eyeshadow & Liner Stick in 'Bronze Medal' and 'Coffee Break' - now $19.20 (normal price: $24.00)
Eyeshadow isn't usually the fastest part of my makeup routine, but these were so insanely fast and easy to apply. Swipe along your lash line and blend with a brush or fingers, and you have the perfect natural smokey eye.
Application time from start to finish: 1 minute.
2. Multi-Tasker 4-in-1 Makeup Brush - now $22.40 (normal price: $28.00)
This multi-brush is a minimalist's dream. It contains a powder/contour brush, a blending sponge, an eyeshadow brush, and an angled liner or brow brush. The sponge was especially fantastic when paired with the cream highlighter. And the eyeshadow brush made it even quicker to blend out the eyeshadow sticks.
3. Stack the Odds: Blush, Bronzer, Highlighter in 'Sassy Pants'- now $30.40 (normal price: $38.00)
This stackable compact includes a cream blush, bronzer, and highlighter. All three formulas blend smoothly with just the right amount of pigment and are the easiest way to achieve a natural glow. All are boosted with skin-loving Jojoba and Sunflower Seed Oil so your skin is as soft and happy as can be.
Application time from start to finish: 2 minutes.
4. Double Team Tinted Lip Lotion in 'Fresh Squeeze' and 'Hot Take' - now $11.20 (normal price: $14.00)
Alleyoop knocked it out of the park with the bold red and sunset coral shades. There’s Jojoba & Shea Butter to provide long-lasting and deep moisture to lips, plus a sweet peppermint scent that naturally plumps, leaving your lips feeling extra fresh. The sheer color is buildable, so you can go bold or low-key depending on the amount of product you use.
Application time from start to finish: 10 seconds.
Here are the finished looks:
I am happy to report that I can now look this put together in under 5 minutes. I love that all of these products can be as sheer or as bold as you want and you can even take them with you in your purse without taking up much space. If you are looking for the new big thing in minimal yet high-performance and versatile beauty, check out Alleyoop. You are going to fall in love.
