I Wrote It With Lipstick On The Bathroom Mirror

Hi my loves! Don't have too much time today but while I am here at my favorite spot, the library, I decided to write a short post. I adore this post already and I hope it can help many of you out there when standing in Sephora or the makeup department of Nordstrom and being overwhelmed with all the products. I am a product whore. I buy anything and everything. Most goes unused because if you know me I usually never have a stitch of make up on but for some reason I get a fabulous high when I buy it!

1st you have to have your essentials. These are truly the only things that I usually where and that's why they are must haves:

1. Philosophy's Hope In A Jar moisturiser. It runs around $42 but is a great investment. I tend to break out from here to there and I have to be careful about my moisturizers due to that. This one is PERFECT!

2. Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm in Lemon and Chamomile. BEST lip balm I have ever found. received it as a sample one day and was immediately hooked. MUST HAVE!

3. Bliss Best of Skintentions, all skin types Moisturizer. Love it Love Love it! And not that bad on the price end either. This is what I currently use.

Now on to my top picks for Makeup. Now like I said, I totally do not like to wear makeup, but if I do I love to go all out and these are the best products, in my eyes, to do so.

1. Mac Select Cover Up
2. Make Up Forever foundation in HD (I HATE foundation but this is fabulous!)
3. Make Up Forever HD powder.
4. Eyelash Curler by Shu Uemura
5. Chanel Eyeshadow Palette in #14 mystic eyes
6. Bobbi Brown Gel-Eyeliner(most amazing product I have ever purchased. I would swear my life on it. Comes in almost every color you could imagine and doesn't move once on.)

7. Smashbox Brow Tech (AWESOME!!!!! And this is one of those things you can add to your moisturiser look. Eyebrows are a essential focus point of the face and this product allows you to actually shape your brows, lengthen and arch.)
8. Nars Blush in Orgasm
9. Diorshow Mascara (no words can be said about how wonderful this mascara is. I get asked constantly if I have on fake eyelashes) Favorite Product Ever. I think it's been over 5 years I've been using this so I can officially call myself a Diorshow Whore. Just get it!
10. Bobbi Brown Lipstick in #2 Beige
11. Sephora Professional Angled Eyeliner Brush #23. Best brush I have ever owned. This brush plus Bobbi Brown Gel-Eyeliner=Perfection
12. Diorshow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum. Use under mascara as a primer and also use before bed and leave it on overnight to help with eyelash growth and strength.
13. Urban Decay Eyeshadows. They are the best in pigment and have a huge wonderful palette of colors for you to choose from.
14. Dolce & Gabbana Lipgloss Glossy #50. Sexiest Nude shade and best gloss you'll ever use. hard to find and pricey but worth it!
15. STILA One Step Correct. Most Amazing (at least for me) Primer with/or without foundation, for the face. Instantly corrects uneven skintones and makes skein feel & LOOK amazing!
16. STILA Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Stingray. My eyes are horrible with liner and it goes everywhere. The Bobi Brown is wonderful due to this cause it does not move but for a simple daily liner, THIS IS AMAZING! Doesn't budge! Hands down daily must have. (all Stila products I rate pretty high...also try the Convertable Color pots. T die.
**I usually do not wear foundation although I listed the one that I do own and use when needed. Invest in a good foundation brush. This is key. If you want to skip the foundation(which I do 90% of the time) just cover any dark circles and only cover up blemishes if you much. Your blemishes will heal faster without piling cover up on them. It's not worth it and believe me everyone has zits so who are you trying to impress.

Now onto the body and hair!!!

Bliss anything!
1. Bliss Blood Orange and White Pepper body butter
2. Bliss Blood Orange and White Pepper sugar scrub
3. Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Mask(fab!)
Now these run a little high but are worth every penny and last a lot longer because they are good products so you just needs to use tiny amount unlike products you would get at Target. $35-$54

I have fine straight hair so I wouldn't suggest these to those of you who are lucky and have lush think locks. I have tried everything under the sun and these are the best!

1. Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam
2. Aveda Volumizing Tonic
3. Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion(like a dry shampoo but for volume. Amazing!
4. Chi Large Round Brush
5. Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo
6. Bumble and Bumble Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner
7. You Curl curling iron without clasp for sexy beachy waves. Infiniti by Conair

Make sure that you clean your makeup brushes on the regular as well. Very important for your skin and your makeup. I use Daily Makeup Brush Cleaner in the spray by Sephora. I hope this post helps you choose the next time you are stuck. If you have any questions about these products, feel free to message me. Yes, they are a bit more pricey but put in that extra $20 and get these of quality. Worth every dime!

Peace and Love
