Everyday Favorites!




My favorite products that I use almost EVERYDAY! I'll start with my Garnier make up remover towelettes. I have tried many brands and this one seems to work best for my skin I have oily/combination skin and some make up remover towelettes either don't clean my face good enough or leave a weird perfume scent on my face along with a film that just don't make my face feel clean. This product defiantly does the trick! The only CON is that it don't take off mascara as good. This can be purchased at any pharmacy store such as Rite-aid, Walgreen's, Cvs, Duane Read. Even Walmart! Actually from past experience I think Walmart has the best price!



My Next review will be what I wear on my face everyday... Now I find that foundation is just way too heavy for every day use especially for my oily skin. So I decided to go with a tinted moisturizer I've tried many brands and I cant seem to part with my Laura Mercier its the BEST one I've ever tried it gives you that perfectly even coverage with out that HEAVY feeling. Since I have oily skin I purchase the oil-free one it also comes in a normal one as well if you are dry. I also find that when you apply this product with a brush you get better results, you can definitely still use your hands but your hands are full of bacteria and you don't get as much as a flawless look when you use your hands. You can purchase this product at Sephora.com



The brush I use with this product is a flat kabuki by sigma F80 it is a synthetic fiber brush I wash my hands put some of the foundation on the back of my hand and swirl the brush around on my hand and than swirl the brush onto my face until it is blended. You can purchase this brush on sigmabeauty.com


Next product I use would be concealer, I have very dark circles under my eyes so I need some decent coverage my favorite concealers are by MAC I use the studio finish and some times I use the pro longwear it all depends on my mood they're both great products that can be purchased at maccosmetics.com or macys.com  a little tip when purchasing concealer is always go a shade lighter than your skin tone to help brighten your eyes and if you have more green under your eyes go with a NW if you are more purple go with a NC the warmth of the NW will cancel out the green and the NC will cancel out the purple.


Since I have oily skin I like to set my tinted moisturizer with a light mineral powder so I use the MAC mineralize skinfinish I love the light weight coverage it gives you can also use this alone for a natural finish this can also be purchased at maccosmetics.com


My favorite Eye liner is cream eye liner in a pot that you paint on. I feel like it definitely lasts longer and stays in place! I recently came across YSL eye liner effect faux cils its water proof and lasts almost ALL day and DOES NOT RUN!! or DRY out thats one big problem I've had with cream liners they always dry out after a few months! I've had this liner for about 6 months and its still CREAMY! you can purchase this one at sephora.com


I apply this product with a MAC brush its a 209 liner brush it is thin and perfect size and it gives you really good control! this can be purchased at maccosmetics.com


I also always wear bronzer! All year round its nice to have alittle bit of a glow it helps on those pale winter days it helps look people more alive! Not saying that you should blend it all over your face to look like snooki that is just a no no! I like to use bronzer to contour my face. My current favorite is the Urban Decay Baked I've tried the colors baked & gilded so far and loved them both this one can be purchased at macys or urbandecay.com


I  aslo always wear blush! I love MAC blushes because they deliver great pigment and last a long time my favorite blush by MAC is called 'DAME'  this can be purchased at maccosmetics.com

Well, thats all for today! Next time I'll go over some other things like mascara and some new things I have purchased.. I hope you all liked my first real review! =)
