These are a few of my favorite things (beauty)

Hello again!

I figured I would start my blog with a post of some of my must-haves in my beauty stash.  My camera is acting funny so once it decides to behave I will try my best to include pictures. If not, just bear with me.

 First up, MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer.  It is so creamy-easy to blend with your finger.  You could use it with a brush but I use my finger with this product.  This concealer works with my skin all year round, no added oiliness or shine, which I usually have a problem with when trying new makeup.

On top of that concealer, I use MAC Studio Fix Powder.  This powder+foundation is just remarkable! Again, I use it all year round and never have a problem with it.  I've used this concealer and powder combination for about 7 months...and I'm probably not going to change it anytime soon!

For my lips I just can't go wrong with Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm.  I started using Burt's Bees my junior year in high school, sooo not to make me feel old or anything, 6 years ago. (OUCH.) This stuff is just crack for my lips.  Keeps them extremely soft, moisturized, and I love the little cooling sensation it leaves. (My weird thing is I like to chew a piece of gum first and then put the lip balm on.  It's very refreshing...)  I could use JUST this product for the rest of my life and be a happy camper.

Now, mascara is a necessity in my opinion.  If mascara were the only makeup left on earth I would be ok with that.  I started using Maybelline's The Falsies mascara about a month ago.  I was HIGHLY skeptical at first.  After the first coat I was in love.  One of my top mascaras for sure!  It adds great length and if you wiggle the wand at the base of your lashes you can build great volume too. 

Oh that water line that we all love to line to add instant sexiness to any look.  I love to line mine with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil in Zero.  It's a true black and creamy pencil that stays!  The eyeliner gods have answered our prayers!  Ok, lame, but true :)

I hope y'all enjoyed just a few of my favorite products! I wear them just about everyday so I decided to share my love for them with you.  What are your top favorites?  Til next time!

(I have a feeling blogging is going to become my new obsession....:) )
