My holy grail items:
Orgasm Blush – This is the only blush I use. Literally the only blush. I tried out a “dupe” version or three and nothing compares in my opinion. Absolutely worth the price.
Purity Cleanser – I like the 32oz bottle with the pump to keep next to my sink and/or in the shower to easily grab a little bit of face wash. Pro-tip – you definitely don’t need a full pump!
Tattoo Liner – I have been wearing eyeliner for years and years. I’ve worn all sorts but liquid liner is definitely the way to go to achieve a precise line. This eyeliner is hands down the best I’ve ever tried. It’s a pen-style so it’s much easier to manage and get a straight line. It also comes in a waterproof version but I have yet to try that one.
Natural Eyes Palette – Easily one of my favorite palettes ever. I use this one almost daily. I would repurchase this one again and again. It’s also super affordable as far as palettes go and is under $40 by itself before the sale discount.
Your Skin But Better CC Cream – This cult favorite has a reason for it’s following. It’s that good. I wear light in the cooler months and light-medium usually in the summer. It also has SPF 50 so you can rest assured that your skin is always protected.
Sugar Lip Treatments – I’ve mentioned these time and time again but they still remain to be at the top of my beauty favorites. They come in an array of colors and shades. I love the Advanced Therapy treatment which is just a true lip balm but also the tinted versions. I wear Petal and Berry on the regular. This gift set includes mini versions of both Petal and Berry and the Advanced Therapy treatment along with a few other colors for $4 more than 2 full-size. Absolutely worth it!
Matte Creme Lip Crayon in Glace – I get asked about this lip color every time I wear it. It’s matte but not a matte that sucks out every last bit of moisture from your lips and the color lasts through eating and drinking. It’s also currently on sale for 50% off so snatch it up!
T.B.D. Multi-Tasking Styler – I originally received this as a deluxe sample and it is amazing. Additional plus, it smells great like all of the Living Proof products. I like to use this on wet hair before I style it and then will use it on 2nd day hair…and 3rd…and maybe 4th day hair from mid-shaft to ends to give my hair a little umph if my hair is a getting a little limp and help give my super fine hair some additional texture.
New-to-me items:
Purity Ultra-light Moisturizer – I love the Purity cleanser so I’m excited to try this as my daytime moisturizer. Only downside is it doesn’t have any SPF for no-makeup days.
Sephora Favorites – Superstars – This gift set is a collection of nine bestselling makeup essentials, including a full-size highlighter, brow gel, and lipstick. Gift sets are an amazing way to try a bunch of different products without committing to a full size. I’ve only tried the Bite Beauty Agave lip balm (love\ it!) and the Better than Sex mascara so I’m excited to give the other new-to-me items a whirl. (<–Also, does anyone else think immediately about Home Alone when someone says they’re going to “give something a whirl?” No? Just me?)
Pillow Talk Lip set – I’ve been eyeing this lip color for a while and with this gift set you can get the lipstick and matching lip liner for only $1 more so why wouldn’t you get it?!
Tan Luxe – This is another cult favorite I have yet to try. However, I’m going to Florida and then on a cruise at the end of the month and need to not be pasty! The glorious part about this self tanner is that it goes on like regular lotion. No need for a mit or to sleep in black, loose clothing for fear you’ll ruin everything you on. Just apply and get dressed and go! Or so I’m told anyway. TBD.
Starry Eyes to Hypnotize Palette – I have never owned or tried anything by Charlotte Tilbury but I feel like she’s taken the beauty world by storm. The colors in this palette are stunning. It’s pricey for a palette but based on the reviews I’ve seen, it is totally worth it!
Beauty Highlighter Wand – Are you sensing a theme here? I’m on a Charlotte Tilbury kick here. Again, I’ve seen reviews for this and was intrigued by the “wand” applicator versus a powder highlighter. I also don’t wear highlighter so this should be interesting!
