INSIDE MY MAKEUP BAG

Cover Girl Line Exact Liquid Liner $6.24
This liner goes on the easiest of any I've tried. It tends to run out faster then others, but luckily it's not very expensive. 
80 Acres Olive Oil Body Balm $22
I got this for Christmas from my boyfriend's sister and it has saved me these last few months. My skin is very dry in the winter, so I've been using this on my hands, feet and elbows. Sometimes I'll take a little and mix it with lotion to use on my body. 
Kiehl's Must Oil $26
It's my go to. Musk is not for everyone, but it's my most favorite scent. I get so many compliments when I wear this stuff. 
Ardell Dura Lash Individual Lashes $3.49
These make me feel like a million times prettier. I'll use a few on the outer corners of my eyes when I go out.
Tarte Cheek Stain in Tipsy $30
This color is perfection. It gives me a peachy glow and it last forever. I've had this bottle for almost two years. Crazy. 
Stila Illuminating Moisturizer SPF 20 $32
This gives me moisture, a little coverage and SPF for my fair skin. It also has an almost iridescent look that makes my skin instantly look fresh and dewy. 
Stila Lip Glaze in Grapefruit $22
Some people hate how sticky this stuff is, but I love it. It is the only gloss that stays on my lips for hours. 
12th Street by Cynthia Vincent Pouch $39.95
I just bought this pouch on sale at Anthropologie because of the fun pattern. I love it so much I have a feeling I might even start using it as a clutch. 

SUMMER BEAUTY ESSENTIALS

 
Memorial Day has passed which means summer will soon be upon us. I thought I would share a few products that will be helping me get through the hot summer months...
Hairspray- L'Oréal Elnett
I love this hairspray, it gives me the perfect amount of hold without looking like I am wearing it at all. 
Tinted Moisturizer- Stila Illuminating 
This tinted moisturizer has SPF 15 and a slightly pearlescent tint. It gives my skin a dewy, natural look which is exactly what I want in the summer.
Volume Spray- John Frieda Luxurious Volume Root Booster
I spray this on my wet hair before I blow dry. It gives my fine hair body and volume, which makes it much easier for styling. 
Travel Candle- Nell's Compass in South 
I  love bringing this little guy with me when I travel. It makes me feel at home and smells like a lush garden.
Lipstick- Revlon in Love That Pink
Such a fun bright shade of pink. I think it will be my summer go to.
Self Tanner- L'Oréal Sublime Bronze
I have tried many self tanners and this one works best for me. I have both the gel and the spray.
Nail Polish- Revlon in Minted
I am loving all things mint green these days and this nail polish is perfection.
Dry Shampoo- Batiste Colored Dry Shampoo
When it starts getting hot in LA, dry shampoo is my savior. It gives my hair life in between washes.
Blush- Tarte in Tipsy
This cheek stain is the perfect peachy shade. 
Bobby Pins- Forever 21
Sweaty bangs is not a good look, so I like to keep bobby pins in my purse to pin back my bangs on hot days. 


MY MAKEUP BAG

People often ask me what makeup and products I use and love, so I thought I would share them with you.


What's in my makeup bag...

I mix Korres Wild Rose Foundation and Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer together. I love the way the Korres Foundation looks and feels, but I love the shimmer and the dewiness of the Stila Tinted Moisturizer. 
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage concealer is the best I have used. I love the color duo so you can mix for the perfect coverage.  
Stila Lip Glaze in apricot and papaya are my two go to glosses. Some people don't like the stickiness, but that's exactly why I love it. It actually stays on!
I love Tarte Tipsy Cheek Stain, the peachy color is perfection. 
I use Anastasia Brow Powder Duo to fill in my eyebrows. This completely changes my face (for the better). Never underestimate the power of an eyebrow.

Stila Eyeshadow in Moonlight is subtle, shimmery, and makes my eyes appear bigger. I also brush a little on the inner corner of my eye, under my eyebrow and sometimes on the dip of the top of my lips for the perfect pout. 
I swear by Cover Girl Line Exact Eyeliner in very black. It's liquid so it stays on all day, but in pen form so its much easier to use.
I've tried every mascara under the sun and Maybelline Pulse Perfection in blackest black works best for me. It separates my lashes and makes them sky high.

And last but not least, my favorite red lipstick. I searched for the perfect orangey-red for months and found it in Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in ravish me red.


On the next edition, I will share all my favorite body and hair products.


I am so excited Friday is here! I'm off to Vegas for my friend's bachelorette weekend. It's sure to be a blast!
Happy Weekend Everyone!!!
