WHAT I’M GETTING
I mean let’s be real I have a ton of makeup and have a pretty solid holy grail list so I’m not getting much this time around.. but here are a few products I am getting and have been wanting to try!
IT Cosmetics Your Skin but Better CC Cream in Medium– I’ve been wanting a CC cream for lighter makeup days and especially for our upcoming trip to Cabo! I grabbed it in medium and can’t wait to try it out.
Sephora #Lipstories Lipstick in Shades 25 First Class and 6 Tan Lines – I saw these on Olivia Jade’s vlogs and wanted to try them out! The pricepoint is so great too. I think the First Class shade is a perfect orange red for Cabo.
Ambient Lighting Palette – Been wanting to try these lighting powders forever and finally going for it! I figured a palette is the best bang for my buck and it’ll be nice to have a range of shades.
OTHER TOP BEAUTY RECOMMENDATIONS
FACE
Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer – Truly the best primer I’ve ever used. It feels weightless on the face and makes my makeup last all day!
Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in shade 5.75 – I picked up this foundation during the last VIB sale and am loving it! It has medium coverage, makes my skin look silky smooth, and has great wear throughout the day. The only thing is it has minor flashback at night from the SPF in photos, but it’s not that noticeable.
NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in shade Barcelona – I have loved this foundation for so long. It was my first “high end” foundation and has been my tried and true since I got it. Sheer glow is really lightweight, has buildable coverage, and wears so well.
Laura Mercier Translucent Powder – If you don’t already know about the amazingness that is this product, you NEED it in your life! Best setting powder ever. Hands down. I use it everyday and just ran out recently so it was definitely the first thing in my basket.
Urban Decay NAKED Skin Concealer in shade Medium Neutral – I use this concealer over any blemishes on my face and it covers everything up well without feeling too heavy. Also great for days when you don’t want to wear foundation!
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray – Love this setting spray – it is so refreshing and makes your makeup last all night 😉
CHEEK
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Shade Radiant – This is the best bronzer I’ve ever used. It’s so finely milled and so silky smooth on your skin. It will make your skin so bronzy and flawless.
Anastasia Contour Kit in Shade Medium to Deep – This is the contour palette I use everyday and it works really well. I used to use the Lorac one and also loved that too.
Becca Highlighter in Opal – LOVE this – prettiest highlighter ever! I also have Champagne Pop but I think Opal is much more wearable day to day. The color shown above is not the right thumbnail – Opal is more of a golden pearl color.
BROWS
Anastasia Brow Wiz in Shade Chocolate – Love love love this brow pencil. Nothing compares to it and ever since I switched over to using this I have never gone back. It creates really natural beautiful brows. Warning though – there’s not a ton of product and it feels like it runs out quick lol my BFF and I have run out mid-brow routine (hence why I always keep a backup on hand now haha!)
BRUSHES/TOOLS
Beauty Blender – This magical little sponge really does live up to all the hype. I’ve never gone back to using a foundation brush. It blends foundation and concealer so well and makes it look airbrushed. I also use it to bake my undereye. I don’t really think it matters what color you get.. the pink is the OG color but for what it’s worth I love the black one because it’s easier to clean lol 🙂
Beauty Blender Cleanser – This is great for cleaning your beauty blender! It gets everything out
SKINCARE
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream – This is the best moisturizer ever!! I use it in the morning before I put on my makeup and at night after I cleanse my face. It’s so hydrating and moisturizing without being heavy.
First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads – These are great toner pads. I got them in a gift set I got during the fall sale and ran out but I really liked how they took off any additional makeup and toned my skin.
Fresh Rose Mask – I absolutely LOVE this mask!! I got a sample size from Sephora a long time ago and loved it so much I bought the full size. It is incredibly hydrating and will leave your skin so soft and smooth.
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask – This mask is so hydrating!! I love what it does for my undereye area. I’ll put a thin layer on under my eyes before I do my makeup and I swear it improves any bags under my eyes. I think more than anything, it’s a great undereye cream.
Glamglow Gravity Mud Firming Mask – I always do this mask with my mom and sister! It leaves your skin feeling so firm.
LIPS
Sephora Lip Plumping Lip Gloss in #2 XXL Nude – Love this lipgloss! It goes well over any color and does make your lips appear plumper
NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil – The formula is so smooth and the color pay off is great.
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick – Great long lasting formula and doesn’t feel too dry on the lips. I have Bow n Arrow and Lovecraft
FRAGRANCE
Chanel Chance Eau Tendre – My signature scent!! I wear this every day and have for the past few years. It smells so good!!
