Makeup literally has to be one of my most favorite things in the whole entire world. I just love it. My pink Caboodle has been my bff since the 4th grade, and while the products inside have matured and changed over the years, my love for the dang thing will never ever change. Let's get started!
- Clinique Even Better foundation (03 Ivory)
- This stuff is AMAZING! I used to use MACs Studio Fix in NW20, but after having used it for like 4 straight years I decided I wanted something different. I went around to all of the counters in the department stores, and all of the brands in Sephora and got samples of EVERY. SINGLE. FOUNDATION. I'm not going to drop $70 bucks on the stuff if it's no good, and this stuff out shined ALL of the other brands that I tried. It took me a good 6 months to get through all of them, but I always found myself going back to Clinique. Now I've been using this for about a solid month or so now, and I love it. I see a drastic difference in my skin tone, and I couldn't be more happy. It does have an SPF of 15 in it, but it doesn't cause a white cast in pictures which is a major plus. If you haven't tried it I highly suggest going to Sephora or a Clinique counter and asking for a sample to try it out yourself. It retails for $28.
- Maybeline Instant Age Rewind Treatment Concealer (50 Neutralizer)
- This is my current favorite concealer. It has super great coverage, and although I don't have dark circles (thank you skin gods), I still use it around my nose and on my forehead, or wherever I have a little bit of redness and it evens my color right out! It blends in perfectly, and I don't have to reapply it throughout the day. Lets be honest, anything I don't have to touch up on the regular wins an A+ in my book. It retails for $7.94
- Tarte Clean Slate Eye Primer
- At first I did not like this stuff at all. It was a huge change from what I used to use, which was Benefit's stay don't stray, but after using it a few times I developed a bond for this baby. It goes on an soaks right into my eyelids. I can put any type of eyeshadow over top and it will not crease! This product will pretty much speak for itself. It reatials for $19
- Naked 2 Palette
- This has been my go to palette since the day that I bought it. I literally use it every single day. Most of you probably have it, so I'll skip the details, but I will say my go-to everyday eye routine is Tease on the lid, Bootycall for my brow bone, Pistol in my crease, and then I use either Suspect or MACs color Honesty over top of all of it to give it an extra something and blend everything out. On days where I want to do something a little less noticeable, I will do Bootycall on the whole lid and brow bone, Suspect in the crease, and YDK on the outer corner. The only thing that I dislike about this palette is that Bootycall doesn't come in a single pot. I dropped my palette and that was the only color that busted, and I spent hours in Sephora trying to match the color and the closest thing I came up with was Urban Decay's Virgin. It retails for $54.
- Benefit Porefessional Primer
- Not a whole lot to say on this one either. It's amazing, fills in my pores, and makes my skin feel baby bottom smooth. It's matte too, so it doesn't leave me looking oily at all, but it also doesn't irritate my dry skin. It retials for $31.
- Benefit Hoola Bronzer
- I like this bronzer because it's matte. I'm not for the super shiny bronzy look at all. I like to keep things subtle, especially when it comes to bronzer, because it is a hard product to wear. This one blends super nice and just gives my face the dimension it needs. It retails for $28.
- MACs Blush in Breath of Plum
- This is the perfect color for my skin tone. I'm not much of a blush wearer at all; especially in the summertime, but when fall comes around this stuff gives me the perfect amount of rosy color without making me look like I just ran a marathon. It retails for $21.
- Benefit Bad Gal Lash
- If you know me at all, you know that I already have super long, voluminous lashes (so blessed, thanks dad), so finding a good mascara is hard, because most of them just clump my lashes together, or make them way more extreme than I need them to be...I literally can't wear glasses without them touching the lenses...But this mascara is the BEST. Fun fact though, I have yet to buy myself a full sized tube of this. I feel like it's the freebie mascara. Literally anytime I buy something from Benefit at my Ulta they will give me a mini tube for free...so score on that one! It retails for $19.
And that's pretty much all of the makeup that I use on a daily basis. My tried and trusted favorites. I hope this helped any of you who are looking to go out and get you some new goodies. My birthday is coming up, and all I asked for is Sephora gift cards, so I'm excited and I will be sure to do a haul of what I get!
