HUDA PALLETES

That’s right. Not just one palette all of them. The pigments of these shadows are so powerful you need less product and less time to create the look you want. I personally love the nude palette as I usually wear pinks/mauve blends. They are worth the $60. I just wish i could replace used colors!

BENEFIT BROW PENCIL

Well this little tool here changed my view on brows completely. Finally a less is more product! i started with Anastasia brow wiz, graduated to the Dipbrow Pomade which always made my brows too intense with the cream and looked unnatural. I feel like I’ve gone to heaven with the ease of this tool. Simple wins.

NARS BLUSH – GOULUE

Some people think blush is optional. To me blush is by far one of the most imperative and quick transformers of your look. Blush gives you life, gives your face shape, and blends perfectly with a smile! Since i am so fond of blush I prefer one with strong pigment. No this isn’t Nars orgasm because its a little bare for me. This color pops!

FENTY FLYLINER

Newly added to my routine this has raised the bar for my eyeliner standards. What does she have that the rest don’t; blackest black, consistently applies, more importantly a long brush that is sturdy and does not bend easily but not hard either. This makes my winged liner for my almond shaped eyes completed in seconds. AMEN

BENEFIT MASCARAS

YES BOTH TOGETHER. ULTIMATE DYNAMIC DUO. I’m fierce about this application as I’ve grown my lashes and proud of them. I love the Bad Gal for its skinny wand and I only use at the base of the lashes and my bottom lashes. It easily reaches the tight corners of my eyes. THEN I use the Roller lash with basically 0 bristles that quickly connects and extends the length of my lashes and thickens!

MARC JACOBS LASH PRIMER

Can this be the triplet to our last product review?! The 3 go hand in hand. You will not attain the same results without this product. TRUST. If you are not using  lash primer at all I urge you to try any! I used to be an avid Lancome lash primer user but the thick consistency of this product latches better to my lashes. I cannot life without lash primer and I will never turn back!

BECCA OPAL HIGHLIGHTER

This has been in my bag for years at least 3. Highlighters keep coming to the market but there is something magical about this one, OPAL in particular. It probably is just the right gold glow for my skin but its by far my favorite. I’ve tried the liquid version and I do not care for it. If you can’t find OPAL your next best bet is CHAMPAGNE POP!

URBAN DECAY SETTING SPRAY

This is not the first time you are reading this. I’m sure any beauty blog you’ve read has marked this as holy grail of setting sprays. It just works and that’s all that truly matters. You want to go the extra mile…Get yourself the Laura Mercier translucent powder and your face will stay from morning until night without fail.

MARC JACOBS DEW DROPS

This lands a spot in my staples list because I’ve added it to every foundation application for the past 2 years. I’ll call it my secret sauce. It gives your whole fave a warm glow and a subtle shimmer that will have everyone asking what you use. Tell them the secret is in the mix!! I add it to my foundation brush, dabble on face, and blend away!

I hope you try one of my faves! Click below to shop your next beauty staple!
