My Top 10 - Beauty Products

heyoo :0)

So for my first official post, i thought id do something fun so you can get to know my style better.
This is my top 10 favorite makeup products of all time!
lets go!

#10: E.l.f Hypershine Gloss in the shade "Vixen"
    This has to be one of my favorite lipglosses ever! i love the vibrant cherry red color that can be worn with anything. It gives you that sexy red lipstick look, without overpowering the rest of your makeup :0) This lipgloss is a great buy since it's only $1, and great quality I extremely recommend you try one out :0)





#9: Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara
    This is the perfect mascara! The brush is long and thin, so it
 catches every lash. This mascara is great at lengthening lashes, and you can build up layers for extra volume. It is also available in waterproof which is amazing :0) This is under $10 which is a great buy compared to some high end products, and it is amazing quality for a drugstore brand.



#8: CoverGirl Smoky Shadow Blast "bronze fire"
    Of all the CoverGirl products i own, i would have to say that this is my favorite. This 2 step shadow creates a flawless smoky eye with no effort at all. the 6 different shades means you can create any look day or night, but i love the neutral "bronze fire" the most, because it is great for an easy every day look. 





#7: Maybelline Fit Me Foundation
    I love this foundation! I have tried a few recently, but have finally settled on this one in the shade 115. I like this because it is a very lightweight formula, and it goes on very smoothly. It covers up redness well and evens out my skin tone. Without a powder to set it however it does look shiny, but it can be easily blended. The only problem I have had with this is when I bought it I bought the wrong shade, as it is very hard to determine your shade just by looking at the bottle. i suggest testing the product first before purchasing to make sure you get your perfect shade :) this is a very in expensive product and i suggest checking it out if you're searching for a new "go to" foundation :)

#6: Stila Eye Shadow Trio in the shade "goddess"
      This Eye shadow pan is amazzinggg for creating a quick easy gorgeous neutral eye. it has three colors in it, a pale, shimmery, pinkish brown for a highlight, a dark chocolate brown for a crease color, and a shimmery gold for a base color. these colors are so pigmented and blend so well together for a look that looks like it took hours to create, in less than a minute. with the convenience of these colors being all in the same pan its so easy to drop it into your purse for touch ups on the go


#5: Tarte Natural Cheek Stain in the shade "Flawless"
     This.is.amazing.
        This cheek stain applies so smoothly and gives your cheeks a gorgeous subtle pink glow that is great for summer! plus, creamy cheek stains last much longer on your skin in hot weather than powdered blushes, so you can keep your glow for longer :) this cheek stain is made with all natural products too, so it not only makes your skin look good, but helps it stay good too. i also love that it is slightly lemon scented! The Stain is naturally scented, so it wont irritate your skin either.






#4: Benefit Stay Don't Stray
   Stay Don't Stray is the perfect name for this product! It is a thick creamy concealer and primer in 1! this is great for on your eyes for concealing and priming in one step. It is also great for concealing pimples and redness because it's so thick and creamy. This product is a little pricey at around $24, but if you are looking for a great concealer or primer, this is what you want, and with one shade fits all, you cant go wrong! :0)






#3: Stila Smudge Pot in "Kitten"
      If you have never tried one of Stila's Smudge Pots, you are missing out my friend. These pots are multi use and are so easy to use! they are a rich creamy formula that can be used for an eye shadow, eyeliner and probably much more! The Smudge Pot in the shade Kitten is so useful for me to smudge on for an eye shadow quickly in the morning, or used with a brush for a brightening eye liner. i also love to use a dab for a highlighter along my cheekbones for a natural glow. this shade will go with any look and us great for using as a base under another color. if you have not tried any of these Smudge Pots i recommend you trying one out!




#2: MAC Viva Glam Lipstick in the shade "GAGA"
         this lipstick is unbelievable!! not only is it the 
awesome  MAC lipstick quality, but has the stunning flair of Gaga in it! it is the brightest, cutest pink lipstick i have ever laid eyes on. it applies so smoothly and last for a long time too! when i went to buy this lipstick i was debating between a few shades, but then this caught my eye at the end of the row and i instantly knew i had to have it!! i love this color and have never seen another lipstick that could compare to it! if you have never tried out MAC lipsticks before i strongly suggest trying one out you will not regret it! 

#1: BH Cosmetics 88 Standard Shimmer Palette
   And finally, my number 1 favorite product, The BH 88 shimmer palette. words cannot express how much i love this palette!! The colors are so vibrant and pigmented, and there is every color there that you could ever need, you will save so much money from buying individual eyeshadows because you will have every color you need! BH also has a 88 Standard Matte palette, with the same colors, only matte. these palettes are such a good buy at under $20 each, and you cannot beat the quality! If you're looking for a amazing quality palette with a can't beat price, you will definitely wan't to check out the BH Cosmetics 88 Standard Shimmer Palette :0)
