Current Make-Up Favorites

 





I recently purchased a new eyeliner that was recommended to me by a friend and I love it. I would always use a pencil or felt liner because I thought it would be hard to keep a steady hand when lining the upper lid. Boy, was I wrong because this gel liner is much easier to use and it comes with a liner brush, which is why I love it so much.

Why I Love It: Glides on the upper lid, makes winging your liner much easier,  doesn't smudge, long lasting.

L'Oreal Lacquer Liner 24H Infallible Lowest price I found was Walmart for $8.47

It can also be purchased at any Drug store, Ulta, Target and Walmart



 



Anastasia Eyebrow Kit $39.50
If your just looking for a brow powder I would recommend
 Anastasia Brow Powder Duo $22.00 is my favorite from the kit.

I really think for an extra $17.50 you get a lot more for your money if you can afford the complete eyebrow kit

Why I love it: I have an older version of the complete kit and I love it. As you read in my last post I am trying to grow out my eyebrows so I am not plucking them weekly and using this kits to shape them. The kit that I have is for dark hair.  I am using the High Arch Stencil and use the duo powders to color in the stencil so I know where to pluck.

You can purchase these at Ulta or Sephora.




 Lately, I've been really into bold lip colors and here are a few of my most recent purchases.

The first one listed is Maybelline Dazzling Plum 835- $4.97. This color is a shiny plum color that gives off a pink/reddish color. It is a very smooth lipstick that goes on smooth.

     Next, is a Mac lipstick color called Rebel-$16.50. This color seems to be very popular around the YouTube world as well as Diva.So I decided to  pick it up and see if it lived up to all the hype.

This color is pretty awesome, I love the mostly matte finish of this lip color has. I also love that it pretty much goes with everything. It's perfect for fall.

I know a lot of people wear this color with a MAC Currant lip liner, if you are looking for a liner. ( It is darker but with a little blending it looks perfect)



I choose to try a different liner so I went to Sephora and picked up there nano liner for $5.00 in the color Pleasant Plum. I love how creamy these liners are and the matte finish they have.

This is a cheaper alternative for a fun color that you might not wear a lot and don't want to spend $16 on a full lip stick.


The last lip pencil is again from Sephora called Funky Fuchsia, I've worn this color a lot on my entire lip and I LOVE IT!

I definitely would recommend these Sephora Pencils, plus they are super smooth and easy to put on. If you don't want a matte finish just add a clear gloss.













Lastly, is this Sonia Kashuk blending sponge from Target-$10.49 . These blending sponges are another one of those items being talked about across the web, so I also decided to try it out.

At first I really didn't like it and I didn't think it did anything special. Then I read a little more about it and found out that it works better when wet it. So the next time I used my sponge I wet it a little and noticed how much better it helped blend the make-up product on my face.  Gives a nice flawless face.

If you don't wet the sponge  it seems to just soak up the make-up and you'll end up using a lot more product. If this is a product that you want to try I would suggest searching the web because I'm pretty sure you can find one just like this for less.

Are there any products that you love or have been dying to try??
Let me know!! :)
