A Few of My Favorite Things

I felt like doing a little beauty post this morning on some of my favorite products. It's probably a really good thing that I don't live close to a Sephora or an Ulta, because I would always be in trouble!

First up - Dior! I love all their stuff and if I could afford it on a regular basis, I would wear this every day! Here are some of my go-to basics from Dior.

5 Color Eye Palette

DiorShow Waterproof Mascara

DiorSkin Nude Foundation

I have to say, hands down, the DiorSkin Nude foundation is and will always be my favorite foundation. It. Is. Awesome. But at $60 a pop, I only splurge on it every once in a while. The mascara is awesome and these days I have to wear waterproof. And the eye shadow is extra luxurious and stays on so very well.

Bare Minerals

I just picked this up over the weekend to try, and so far I am loving it. It gives great coverage without feeling like you are wearing makeup. So, I will jump on the Bare Minerals bandwagon and give them a thumbs up.

Smashbox

Lip Gloss

Lip Plump

I really love all things Smashbox. Especially their lip products. And these two are great!

Stila

One Step Correcting Primer

Eye Palette

I have fallen in love with the face correcting primer. It has green pigments to help even out any redness and lavender to brighten up skin tone. It goes on super smooth and I have really fallen in love. I love their eye shadows as well.

Bobby Brown

As in Bobby Brown the makeup, not the singer! Crack is whack, ya'll! Anyways...

Brushes!!! <3

Shimmer Brick

Hydrating Toner

If you don't own a set of brushes, you need to get some. I love mine. They hold up great and really make applying makeup super easy. Next up is the Shimmer Brick. There are different colors of shimmer bricks, but they are awesome because they work for cheeks and eyes. Awesome! 'Nuff said. Last, we have the hydrating toner. Granted, I use Stacey's from time to time. Its some good stuff, too. Makes your face feel very refreshed and still moisturized. That's a tough feat for a toner.

Urban Decay

They have great lip and eye products. Love.

Mario Badescu

Strawberry Scrub

Ceramide Eye Gel

Drying Lotion

Honey Moisturizer

Can I just say that the Strawberry Scrub is probably one of my most favorite things? Because it is. It really, really is. It exfoliates your face really well, and then leaves it feeling so very soft and creamy. The Ceramide Eye Gel just feels good. Especially after a long day and when you're tired. The cooling gel helps to reduce puffiness and just tones up those wrinkles :-) The drying lotion is a miracle product. Put this on a pimple at night and it will be virtually gone tomorrow. The honey moisturizer is also really great, too!

Tarte

I picked this pack up the other day of lip gloss. So far, I'm really liking it. Goes on and helps hydrate your lips and stays on fairly long for a lip gloss.

All right, beauty queens. That's just a few of my favorite things. I believe you can go online to Sephora and purchase just about everything but the Mario Badescu stuff. Go to http://www.mariobadescu.com/ for that!
