BEAUTY FAVORITES

So i'm having a lot of fun doing these. who knows if anyone else is. here goes, beauty fav's...

1. Moisturizer. I love keihls, but it tends to make me break out if i use it everyday. therefore i have begun switching my moisturizers around every few days and it's been working. At night, i like Benefit's Dear John cream.

2. Garnier Facial Wipes. I use these to take off my makeup before washing my face at night, but sometimes when i'm in a rush, these can count as washing my face too. It really is true that your skin will improve ten fold if you take off your makeup before bed. I wish i had started doing this years ago.

3. Maybelline Mascara. I have a favorite mascara for a while and then find another favorite, but i think the Maybelline ones are the best. Currently digging the colossal volume in black. Always in black.

4. Mac Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle. MSF's slightly confuse me. There are two kinds. One is a regular face powder (I have this one too) and the other is a shimmery, golden highlighting pressed powder.... thing. This is the latter. I sweep this on my cheekbones, a little on my brow bone and down the bridge of my nose before some blush and i look like i've had a decent night's sleep and also maybe i've been outside (which i haven't).

5. Nars Sheer Glow Foundation. Almost feels like a tinted moisturizer. It is so light, you can't feel it. Only use less than a pea size amount for your entire face.

6. Sigma Duo Fibre Brush. This used with number 5, and it won't look like you have any makeup on. Having a few really good brushes makes such a difference in how your makeup looks. I don't think its necessary to have 20 MAC blending brushes unless you are a professional makeup artists, but something to apply your foundation, powder, whatever you use everyday. The other day, new guy said i didn't look that tired after staying up all night working. Seriously, thank god for makeup. '

7. Baby Shampoo. This is to clean your brushes weekly. When I started cleaning my brushes regularly, my skin improved. You're not putting all the grime from your brush right back onto your face.
