Trial week has kept me from seeing the light of day but I am slowly emerging from the depths of office to share my current beauty favorites! I am a self confessed beauty junkie with enough products and brushes to keep give Sephora a run for its money. Wish reminds me that I must do a beauty purge soon.
Over the holidays, I added quite a few new products and these are the ones I'm currently loving...
1. Smashbox Pore Primer: Okay, this is the product that made me want to write this post. THIS IS AMMMAAAZZIIINNNGGGG!!! I fell in love with the Sephora Wrinkle filler after seeing this post from Kate over at The Small Things Blog. As luck would have it, Sephora discontinued it. Ugh. After trying various products, a Sephora employee recommended that I try this Smashbox Pore Primer and it is the exact same thing! I use this product as an undereye primer. It is absolutely amazing and I can see myself repurchasing many many times.
2. Bobbi Brown Pale Yellow Powder: I love this powder to set my concealer. It is translucent and does a great job at making my concealer last all day.
3. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation: This has replaced my beloved Diorskin Forever Foundation. I love it because it doesn't oxidize on my skin and blends in with my skin perfectly. I use this in the shade Cool Bone.
4. Real Techniques Buffer Brush: I really like this line of brushes. I use this buffer brush to apply my foundation and love how well it blends my foundation.
5. Nars Laguna Multiple: I received two multiples for Christmas and really like them. I use Laguna to contour and the shade Orgasm on my cheeks to highlight.
6. Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer: Hold the presses, it's an affordable concealer that actually works! I use this over my Bobbi Brown concealers to highlight and it's amazeballs!
7. Bobbi Brown Eye Sweep: My sister, Melisa, gifted this to me for Christmas and I lurve it! Even though I own way too many makeup brushes, I'm pretty lazy when it comes to eye makeup so I like that this is a relatively large eye brush and applies makeup in one sweep.
