Make-up Junkie..

My last post on the bronzing kit got me thinking about sharing more of my favorite products. So here it is! I put together my favorite basics for my daily makeup routine and threw in some of my other favorite beauty products as well as my go to manicure products. Would love some input and suggestions to some other great products from all the beauty junkies out there! :)

Stila Natural Finish Foundation - Hands down my personal favorite foundation ever. Evens out my skin tone with a very light coat, lasts all day, and leaves my skin looking silky smooth. I get tons of compliments on my skin and I think this has a lot to do with it. It's also oil free which means no break outs!!!
NARS Lip gloss in Greek Holiday
BENEFIT Eye Bright stick - just a few lines under the eye brow and under your eyes, rub it in and it instantly brightens up dark spots and makes you look more awake!
BENEFIT Bo-ing eye concealer - I've been using it for about 5 years now and don't plan on stopping any time soon! This stuff is a miracle product for dark under eye circles and works well as a basic concealer (with medium coverage) overall.
BENEFIT Hoola Bronzer - My go-to bronzer, and another product I've used for many years. (I became a Benefit addict after working for the company part time right out of high school. I no longer work for them, but picked up some amazing beauty tips and lessons I will use forever!!. I have not one bad thing to say about any of their products...they are all fabulous!!)
ROSEBUD SALVE - Basic lip shine, smoothes out chapped/ dry/ cracked lips and is so silky smooth.
MAC Lip Conditioner - I use this everyday as my base for my lips whether I decide to wear a gloss or lipstick this little tube comes everywhere with me. I get very dry chapped lips easy and when I wear this stuff it's like instant hydration. Well worth the money!! ($18 I think?)
BENEFIT Instant Brow Pencil - Great filler for all brows, and goes on super smooth and easy.
NARS blush in Orgasm - Need I say more?
ALIEN by Theiry Mugler Perfume - My best friend always wears it and I've become somewhat obsessed. It's pretty strong, but lasts all day and I can't get enough of it.
NAILS:
OPI Cuticle Oil - Finally a cuticle oil that doesn't make your fingers greasy! Goes on super smooth and easy with a small brush and dries instantly. (Another product I now carry at all times!)
DURI Rejuvacote Nail Growth System - I swear by this stuff, seriously if you have brittle thin nails or are having a hard time growing them, THIS is the stuff to use. I bring this and my SECHE VITE top coat polish to the nail salon with me for mani/ pedis because they are both life changing.
SECHE VITE Dry Fast Top Coat - Makes your nails dry super fast with super shine! I will never go back to regular top coats ever again.
Also pictured is my nail polish of the moment which is by OPI and it's called 'You don't know Jacques!'..strange name for a pretty strange color (dark grey). But it looks amazing on.

Not shown are my two favorite mascaras which I go back and forth between, L'Oreal Voluminous, and Lancome Hypnose. Both work wonders on the lashes, although the L'Oreal is obviously much cheaper. Also a big fan of Diorshow and Benefit's BADGal lash.

Send me some of your favorite products ladiesss =)

Bronze Madness

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
I stopped in Sephora yesterday to pick up another bottle of my all time favorite foundation by Stila and unfortunately they were sold out in my shade. To my surprise however as I was browsing through the Benefit section I came across this amazing bundle of bronze mania. I was literally in shock at the amount of goodness this little cosmetic bag included: Hoola bronzer (one of my staple products, that I've literally been using for many many years), High Beam complexion enhancer (a few dot's on the cheeks and forehead and you have an instant glow), Gilded which is a highlighter stick for eyes and lips, and lastly a tube of BADGal mascara in brown. Price...$35!!!!!!! Crazy considering all four of those products sold separately adds up to over a hundred bucksss!! I had to ask one of the sales ladys if this deal was for real and after pulling out the products to show me they were all full size, I didn't even have to think about my next move: Head to the register!! :) I looooooove a bargain and this one was def one of the best ones I have come across in a long time.
