Must Have Favorites!

So I thought I would do a post on some of my must have favorites. These are the products I always have to have and are always in my purse.

1) My first go to is my Make Up For Ever Pro Finish multi-use powder. The beauty of this powder is that you can use it as a sheer powder or use it wet for a full coverage foundation. It lasts all day even with sweating with minimal touch up. I am in love with it and can never leave the house without it.
2) Ever since Urban Decay's Perversion was released for the first time it has never left my side. I have one in my purse and one at home. It is great for the water line and has amazing staying power. I want to try Anastasia's Covet eyeliner to see if it has better staying power than UD on the waterline, but even if it does I will still always carry around Perversion with me. I would feel naked without it.

3) This a new product I have just tried but it is an instant must have classic, it is Dark Heart Design's Bone Daddy. It is the most gorgeous highlight color slash five minute face color. When I'm in a rush and need a quick face I like to do a light neutral all over my eye with mascara and eyeliner. This has become my go to shade for that quick face. It is just absolutely gorgeous and looks amazing on anyone. 

4) Benefit's Hervana is hands down my favorite blush. It is always in my purse for that go to face. It looks good on everyone and with almost any eye. It's the perfect compliment to any face you're trying to create. plus it smells good!

5)  Kat Von D Eye Primer is one of the eye primer's I have tried. For me it is the perfect primer for summer because it really makes eye shadows stick and last all day. I tend to sweat more than I would care to, thanks to receiving my father's lovely sweat genes, so this is a life saver in those hot summers where I want my eye makeup to stay put.


6) Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara is a new find but I am absolutely in love with it. It does a great job of defining and accentuating my natural lasshes. It makes them look long and full without clumping and taking a million coats. I also love the brush shape and the way it separates lashes and curls them


7) My last favorite for this post is Urban Decay's Lip Junkie, it's my chapstick. It's smooth and not sticky, it leaves my lips feeling buttery soft, and it smells like wedding mints! it's always in my purse. Love Junkie is my favorite because it gives a nice berry stain that I can layer over anything to make a little darker or wear by itself for a nice berry looking lip without looking like too much.


So these are just some of my favorites! You should give em a try and find out for yourself how awesome they are. They might just become some of your favorites! If you like this post then I will probably do some more in the future of new favorites or new finds. Leave feedback below and let me know what you would like to see on this blog!!


Update on Makeup Progress

I just wanted to update you all on what is going on with me makeup wise in my life. 

First and most excitingly I got selected to be a Dark Hearts Doll for Dark Heart Designs!!!! I am super excited about this and can not wait to get started. What this means is I will be a promoter for them doing a couple looks a month, writing reviews, letting you guys know important information and what not. I am beyond thrilled that I get to be a part of group of amazing MUA's and promote an amazing product and company. The shop is currently in the process of reopening but did do a soft open at the beginning of April just selling eyeshadows. I will let you guys know when the full line is available!

Second I have a facebook page up and running where I post my face of the day, contest looks, collab looks, and so on. This is also where I will do my giveaways and contests once I get more likes so go check it out and Like! Please! click here!

Third I have some looks in the works, specifically a series inspired by Alice in Wonderland. I figure doing a series of looks gives me a chance to practice and try out new techniques so I will be posting the Full series here once it is complete and give a little background on each.

Lastly I have a couple more reviews in the works and a list of my favorite products. I will also start doing  my first impression swhen I buy items and do haul posts and will go back later and do a more in depth review. This way I can keep you all updated on what I'm using and inform you of any new and exciting finds I have.

So that's all for right now, please follow if you haven't already and check back to see the posts I mentioned above. Thank you all! and any questions, concerns, or comments please leave in the comments!
