The Beauty Blog

Yet another blog for my ladies!
I am very obsessed with beauty products and have a slight addiction to purchasing them. (I probably have a hundred lip glosses.) So, I thought I'd share some of my absolute favorites, and would love for you to share yours as well!

•Cetaphil moisturizing lotion
I have tried a lot of facial moisturizes and always end up throwing them away because they have some ingredient that makes me break out. This one is awesome! I have used it for a couple of months and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. It is fragrance, lanolin and paraben-free.

•Cargo Cosmetics
The wet/dry powder foundation is awesome! It goes on light but has great coverage. Long-wearing but also washes off easily at the end of the day.
The better-than-waterproof mascara is also quite amazing. It is long wearing but isn't super difficult to get off like some waterproof formulas. It just takes warm water. I also have had problems with waterproof formulas clumping, and this doesn't at all. Definitely a staple for me.

•Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer
This is a miracle product for me! I have oily skin, so when I used to wear eyeshadow, by afternoon it would crease and I'd have to wipe it off and touch up. This product goes on as a cream before you apply eyeshadow and dries within seconds. I can go all day without any sign of a crease or oil. The Original matches any skin tone, and I use this more often. The Sin is a shimmering champagne color and I use more when I go out or get a little more dolled up. AH-MAZING!

•Tarte LipSurgence natural lip tint
I've tried a couple of lip tints before and always ended up with dry lips. This one is different! It has super pretty colors that also moisturize! It comes in a fun crayon design too. My favorite shades are lust and enchanted.

•Sephora Collection Professional Platinum brush line
If you use a brush for any of your makeup application - this line is wonderful. I used to buy cheap powder brushes at the drug store but was introduced to this line when I was at Sephora shopping. I was hesitant to spend an extra $20 on it when I thought they all did the same thing. But I was very pleasantly surprised. The bristles are all synthetic and super soft. I use it for my foundation, bronzer and blush.

Well, that's all for now. I would love to hear back from you if you have any must haves for your beauty routine!
