Hi everyone! Today I thought I would put up a post for all the teens going back to middle or high school on all about affordable makeup that's appropriate for your age! Lets begin.. To start lets talk about the base. Foundation. The Ready Set Gorgeous foundation is one of my favs! Such good quality for such a small price. Around $6-$8 in America. Highly reccomend you trying this out even if your not a teen, I cover blemishes, spots, uneveness like a pro.   Next recommendation this L'Oreal Foundation. If you are oily or combo skin this will work wonders on your skin. This is a bit more pricey than usual for the drugstore but wayyyyy worth it. I also like the powder 2x the mattenessssss Last but not least another L'Oreal product. These are another very inexpensive option to try out, they do as they say match your skin. Whether you are warm, neutral, and cool undertones this is designed for you. Prices range from $6-$8. Lets talk about

Hello everybody! Time for another travel Tuesday. I was thinking about the places I want to visit and South America came up on my list. Digging a little deeper I was looking into Argentina. On Instagram I follow @lesleymmurphy. She is my inspiration for all things about traveling. She also has a travel blog. www.theroadlestraveled.com  Looking through her posts makes me want to take a spontaneous trip and just leave. But, than back to reality we all don't have loads of money or weeks of free time, or in fact jobs that we can't just get up and leave. Believe me I have thought about it. So one day I will hopefully have enough money to take these trips. Let's go explore Argentina...well here's some pictures.  Short but sweet. Thanks for tuning in. See you around here again for my next post. XO SCD Disclaimer : No copyright intended. contactsoutherncity@gmail.com

Hello sweet world! Happy Summer to all of you!! Its been a while since I have been able to actually sit down and blog.

Hello everybody! Welcome back to you, and me. As you noticed I have been absent for a few days. The only post I posted last week was my London Travel Tuesday . Now that I have more things to post on lets get back to business.     I thought we could talk about something new. Self Tanning.   What you may not know about me is I love to look tan, that means you will very rarely see me with pale skin. Now that Spring has sprung and summer is approaching its time to get that glow on. I have tried about a million self tanners and almost every time I need to reapply I seem to reach for the same bunch of products. So lets begin!   The Good Self Tanners:   L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Tanning Lotion. I love this product simply because its so inexpensive, it can be found at any drugstore, and it gives great color pay off. LOVE THIS STUFF!    Banana Boat Summer Color : This is one of the first self tanners that I ever bought at the drugstore, it was the first and maybe tied
