Oh man guys, it's been a very long time since my last post. But here we are at the end of the year with my favorites for the past few months!
First off is the Maybelline Better skin foundation. This stuff is amazing! Once it sets it makes my skin look great even with my acne. It also doesn't really stick to dry skin, which I definitely get during the winter. To go along with the foundation, I'm also really loving the concealer in the same line to cover blemishes.
To set the under eye area, I'm loving the City Color HD powder. It very fine milled and after it has a few minuted to set the under eyes they look very smooth.
For mascara, I've been using the Covergirl clump crusher. I have to say I like the orange tube (lash blast volume) one better than this one but it gets the job done. I use it in conjunction with the L'Oreal Voluminous mascara which is really good at making my lashes look thicker.
My favorite blush for the winter is the Laura Gellar Blush-N-Brighten in Tropic Hues. The color is a pretty berry tone on the cheeks, giving them a fresh look. As for highlighters, Wet nWild and Revolution have terrific options. The Revolution highlight that I have is in the color Peach Lights and has a light pink glow. Wet n Wild has more of a gold/orange glow. Both colors look really pretty when the light hits them, and it's great because they're both drugstore options!
I have a few favorite lippies! I swear anything lip related is my makeup obsession. Maybe I'll do a post on my top 10 favorite lip products.
The Sephora Oil Infusion lip gloss in 06 Bubby Grenadine feels so amazing on the lips and gives a lovely wash of color. Don't be afraid of the bright color because it's nowhere near as bright on the lips.
Korres carries their lip colors in many colors, but I chose wild rose because it's a great color for winter and the product itself is great at moisturizing my lips.
I saved the best for last of these three! Colorpop is amazing guys. If you haven't tried it, you need to. Their lip colors are super pigmented. The one I have pictured here is Tiger in the sheer formula which you can build up to be more opaque.
The eyeshadows are amazing as well. Again they're very pigmented and blend very easily. The only downside is if you're into de-potting and putting them all into one palette, it isn't possible with these. The formula is a special one so if they're exposed to air for a long period of time they dry out.
This year one of my favorite Youtubers (Tati Westbrook) partnered with Birchbox and came out with her own line of lipsticks and eyeshadow crayons. The eyeshadows have really good color and blend very easily. I would definitely recommend them. The lipstick is pretty but doesn't have great wear, especially if you're eating and drinking.
Happy New Year!!
