Hello and welcome to Shop with Kendallyn! Today I decided to try out Eylure Enchanted False Lashes in the style ‘Grace’. I’ve seen so many Youtube makeup tutorials and it seems like false eyelashes are more popular than ever. I’m not one who usually wears false lashes on a regular basis. When I was about 14 I tried on some lashes for the first time not having a clue how to put them on and they ended up looking horrific. I guess I was just too young to figure it out. Over the past few years I’ve gotten better at applying eyelashes and worn them maybe a handful of times just for…

Is it Worth all the Hype? First Impression: Gerard Cosmetics Star Powder
I had never tried Gerard Cosmetics before so I thought I would give the brand a shot. One thing that I really wanted to try was the new ‘Star Powder’ highlighting compact. Once I got it, I absolutely loved the look of the compact. So sleek and beautiful! Opening it, I fell in love with what was on the inside. I absolutely love how there is a clear plastic cover you can open and close to keep the compact clean and also protect it from the powder cracking. Of course I fell in love with the color of the highlighter as well! I got the shade “Audrey” that looks like…

Easy Summer Nails
Hello! Today I got these two Lauren B. Beauty Nail Polishes that I’ve never tried before and wanted to test them out by doing a super simple nail tutorial. Hope you enjoy! So the first thing I did is apply a clear base coat. I used Sally Hansen’s Base Coat so the nail color adheres better to my nails. Once the base coat was dried, I applied two coats of the nail color in the shade “L.A. Smog” and let it dry for around 10 minutes. After around 10 minutes, I poured out a small amount of the nail color in the shade “Hollywood Land” to make a flower on…

My Adventures at the Oregon Coast
Hello and welcome to Shop with Kendallyn! Here are some of my adventures along the Oregon Coast! I feel so lucky to live close enough to the beach to be able to take day trips down there! One of my favorite places to be is the beach. Yes, most of the time the weather is cold, overcast and foggy, but I find something so refreshing about the Oregon Coast in particular. This weekend my boyfriend and I left around 9 and got to Newport, our first stop, around noon. Expecting the usual overcast, cool weather like usual, I dressed in pants, long sleeves, and a vest. When we got there…

One of my Favorites: Simply Spoiled Contouring Kit
Hello and welcome to Shop with Kendallyn! Today I decided to contour my face with this amazing ‘Simply Spoiled Contouring Kit’. ‘Contouring’ your face means you are creating an optical illusion that helps minimize, emphasize and shape your facial features using shadows and highlights. I am amazed with how smooth and pigmented all of the powders in this pallet are. My favorite shades out of all of these powders are the bottom left and the bottom right. Those two shades are the perfect shades to highlight and contour my face. I first used this light ivory/yellow-ish toned powder and swept it all over my face and really focused on the…

My Favorite Summer Nail Colors
I don’t know about you, but I feel naked if I don’t have any nail polish on… I guess I’m just a nail polish addict. The funny thing is, I’ve only got my nails professionally done a HANDful of times…(hehe) But really, I love doing my own nails because it’s cheaper and I like hoarding nail polish. Doesn’t every girl? Since its summer time, I thought I would share with you some, just some of my favorite summer nail colors I like to wear. I had a ton of other colors I wanted to show you on my nails but let’s be real, I got tired of painting my right…

7 Stylish Summer Outfit Ideas
“Playing dress-up begins at age five and never truly ends.” —Kate Spade Hey there! Welcome to Shop with Kendallyn! Living in Oregon, even in the summer, the weather is very unpredictable. Today can be super sunny and warm and then tomorrow can be overcast and stormy. A couple weekends ago, there was this super big picnic party close to Mt. Hood that I attended, and of course on the day of the event it was pouring down rain even though it had been sunny for weeks. But I guess that’s what you get for living in this state! But honestly, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. So anyways, I know…

Natural Makeup Tutorial
Hello! Welcome to Shop With Kendallyn! Here is a natural looking makeup tutorial. Here is very rare sight… This is what I look like without any makeup on! I know, shocking. Here is a tutorial on how to get a more natural makeup look on those days where you don’t feel like going all out. This is all the makeup I’m going to be using today. Step 1: Apply Foundation I first applied a small amount of a Smashbox primer to my freshly washed face before I started applying my foundation. Primer is totally optional, but I find it amazingly helpful if you want to cover up any pores.…
