Okay, so I know I'm not a big celebrity or anything, but I want to help out my fellow female readers. So I'm going to share my favorite cosmetics, things I use on a daily basis and LOVE!
You know, I'd seen the Infomercials on TV for years, but then I saw that Sephora and Ulta started selling it and THEN I saw that Lucky and Glamour and other such magazines were giving this makeup a rave review, so I decided to invest in trying it. Let me just say that it was a chunk of change for the starter kit (about $60), but I'm never wearing anything else. And really, when you look at what you get in the starter kit, it's a pretty good deal. This makeup is so light and gives you such a natural glow that even Deanna (yes you!) would wear it (Dee is always saying that liquid or cream foundations feel like mud on her face). And you know, it covers everything! And it stays on your face the entire day. And since I'm on the oily side, it keeps me less oily than any other foundation because it's in powder form.
You can't go wrong with these! I've had three shades for over a year and they're fantastic. They last a long time and the colors are beautiful. Not only that, they're pretty cheap. If you catch one of Ulta's sales, they're usually 3 for $10. Plus they have a wide variety of colors and shades so you can find any color you desire. They've got lasting power too. Which to me is a huge deal because I absolutely hate the goopy, old eye shadow clump in the crease of your eyelid. Sick.
Mandy will back me up, this mascara is wonderful. I've been an eyelash curler for years, but I would always get so irritated because 2 seconds after I put mascara onto my freshly curled eyelashes, they would wilt (and yet I still went through the eyelash curling which makes absolutely no sense...). This mascara keeps your eyelashes curled ALL DAY LONG! And it doesn't run down the sides of your eyes either! The only thing that I would say isn't great about this mascara is that it is a challenge to get off. I had to get eye makeup remover and even that took a while. Still, you sit in front of the tv before bed and work on it and it's totally worth it!
Okay, I know. Dirty name. AMAZING blush. Last year, after hearing for like a year and a half how amazing this blush was, I decided to ask for it for Christmas. My mom and I laughed really hard about it because of the name and laughed even harder when she used the money my grandma gave her to buy presents for me to buy it for me. In any case, it's expensive for blush (which is why I asked for it for Christmas), but so worth it. I've been using it for almost a year and I still have tons left. It is so shimmery and pretty on your skin I'll use it for years to come. It doesn't scream "I HAVE BLUSH ON MY FACE" but instead gives you a beautiful glow and looks good on practically anyone!
The perfect end to a stressful day. I am the queen of taking baths and this body wash and lotion make the end of my day something to look forward to! It smells wonderful and keeps your skin well moisturized. I am about to switch to peppermint soon (in light of the Christmas season- I like to smell like Christmas around Christmas time... is that weird?), but as soon as Christmas is over, I'll be going straight back to this stuff!
