Beauty Favorites

1. Artis Oval Brushes – Guys, these brushes are a MUST HAVE! When they first came out, I saw beauty bloggers trying them out, but I couldn’t convince myself to buy one. I was using this Sigma foundation brush, which I absolutely love, so I wasn’t sure that needed to change it up. Well, Olivia bought me the large Artis Oval 8 for Christmas, and I have been hooked ever since. Seriously, I have not used a different foundation brush since. I cannot stress how amazing this brush is! I went ahead and asked for this 3-piece brush set for my birthday because I couldn’t get enough! They are pricey, but worth every penny. I highly recommend!

2. Kat Von D Lock-it Foundation – This one is right up there with the Artis brushes! I discovered this product at the end of last year. I usually use Estee Lauder Double Wear which I swear by, but I am in between shades right now. I found this foundation, and I’m in love. It’s completely full coverage and comes in 31 different shades. It goes on so smoothly, and keeps your skin looking flawless all day. Another one I highly recommend!

3. Benefit Cosmetics Tinted Lash Primer  – This stuff is amazing! Priming your eyelashes before you apply mascara is a must to get long, thick lashes. I was using a white primer, but it wouldn’t ever dry clearly – it left me with white spots showing through my lashes. So, that’s why I love this tinted primer. It uses a dark formula, so it matches my lashes and makes them so long!

4. Anastasia Stick Foundation – I use the shade “Shadow” in this foundation stick to contour my nose. At first I was using powder, but it wasn’t blending out as nicely as I would’ve liked. I came across these sticks, and they’re perfect! It’s so easy to draw out the lines for contouring, and it blends out smoothly with this Artis brush. I’ve found that Shadow is the perfect contour shade for me!

5. Tarteist pro Amazonian Clay Palette – I love this new Tarte eyeshadow palette! All of the shades are so pretty and blend out perfectly. I’ve been using the shade “Edgy” in my crease and “Glam” on the lid on a daily basis for a day-time look! There are so many different looks you can make with this palette, and it’s great for traveling because you have everything you need in one place.

6. Sigma Cleaning Glove – This Sigma glove is perfect for cleaning your makeup brushes. I’m going to be honest – makeup builds up so quickly on all of my brushes. It would take me so long to scrub them clean with my hands. When I came across this glove it was a game changer. The different patterns on the glove make it easy to remove all of the caked on makeup! I also like this version of the cleaning pad.
