..My Favorite Beauty Products
October 7, 2015 • Anastasia Beverly Hills Beauty beauty chat Clinique MAC Cosmetics Mally MAMA NARS Cosmetics Urban Decay
So it's been about a year and a half since I last posted about my beauty favorites (last round up here) and I actually switch up my routine regularly, so I figured I would do an update on my most adored products of the moment. While I still totally love all of the items listed in the last round up, as I get older wiser, I really reach for more practical items and not necessarily the ones that have the most glam impact. These are the power players I keep tapping for help in my day to day routine.
- NARS Sheer Glow Foundation - I have reviewed this foundation before here, and I still love it! It finishes matte but not dry. I actually did two bridesmaids makeup for a wedding last weekend and used this on them both (and myself)!
- MAC Studio Finish Concealer - This stuff is basically my dark eye eraser. It is a bit drying and flashes back on some skin tones (who's taking flash photography photos on the daily?) but you can't beat the coverage. Just the best!
- Urban Decay Primer Potion - This guy was on the last round up and probably will be forever. I can (and embarrassingly enough have after a late night wedding or two) literally sleep in my make up and wake up with a perfectly blended smokey eye. For REAL.
- MAC Shadow in "Embark" - My go to eyebrow filler for my fair skin and dark hair tone.
- Urban Decay "Naked2" - I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pallet for weddings (last seen on one of my brides here).
- Clinique Eye Defining Liquid Liner - This might be getting discontinued which makes me so sad, I love this liquid liner. It's a thicker applicator so you really don't need to go over a few hundred times like with other thinner options (you lose a little precision but it's much faster for an experienced hand).
- Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara - No smearing or flaking. Great layering. A go to for years, last seen here AND here.
- Mally Beauty High Shine Liquid Lipstick - I got this lip product as a gift and have been reaching for it again and again. Pretty lipstick coverage with a little more shine in a nice brush on applicator.
- Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit - There is a reason this is a best seller. Contouring made simple. There's a little bronzer, powder, & highlighter all in one. It's not the extreme Kardashian contour if that is what you are looking for (you need to mix cream or liquid based foundations for that), it's a bit more refined which is more wearable day to day.
..My Skin Care Routine
March 11, 2013 • anti-anging Beauty Clarisonic Clinique Lancome MAMA Philosophy Sephora Skin care
Recently I've been on a product binge of sorts. In the past couple months I've nailed down an anti-aging routine that I love, found my new favorite mascara, dabbled in the world of lux shampoo and added the Clarisonic to my morning and nightly routine. I firmly believe that if you have beauty expectations for yourself (and everyone is different here obviously), you have to do your research and then invest. Above I have laid out the products in my skincare routine that have won my heart and landed a permanent place in my medicine cabinet. You can see my hair-care routine here.
Day: I wash my face with the magnificently gentle Philosophy Purity soap, apply Genifique Eye, then I alternate using Genefique and Visionnaire syrums each day.
Night: I wash with Clinique bar soap (tried and true since 7th grade y'all - NOTHING makes my skin cleaner and clearer - I have tried using other products and paid the price) with the Clarisonic Mia 2 (I used to use it twice a day but quickly realized that once at night was much more beneficial for keeping your skins natural oils, I saw SUCH a difference - I dare you to stop using twice a day and see). I then apply my Clinique Acne Solutions moisturizer (because I'm that lucky adult that never grew out of zits) and finish with my Lancome Lift Multi-Action eye cream.
I know it seems like a lot but if you're going to splurge on something shouldn't it be your money maker? I thought so.
..My Top 10 Beach Essentials
July 10, 2012 • beach Clinique J.Crew Nordstrom style ten beach essentials Urban Outfitters vacation
I'm headed to Dewey Beach, DE for the next five days for a fabulous bestie bachelorette getaway. Above you can find my actual beach bag and all the items you can find inside that I'll be using in real life with notes on why I chose them. I'd like to think I'm a pretty simple beach going-girl. I'd love to know what your essentials are when headed to the shore!
