Current Makeup Favorites

If you see me in makeup these days, this is most likely what you will see on my face! Quick and easy go to for these busy days.




Bare Minerals bareSkin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation - 07 Bare Natural –  An old favorite, looks great but isn’t heavy.

Bare Minerals bareSkin Complete Coverage Serum Concealer -  Light – pairs great with bareSkin foundation. It can crease so it needs to be set. I use it for under eyes and highlighting on my face.

Bare Minerals Invisible Light Translucent Duo – Great matte translucent setting powder. Doesn’t feel heavy at all. Not in love with the highlighter but it’s good for inner corner of the eye and brow highlight.

Laura Geller Minis that Move travel Size Blush and Bronzer – Baked Bronze-n-Brighten in Medium, Baked Blush-n-Brighten in Tropic Hues - Perfect travel and testing size. Bronzer gives skin natural glow, buildable for darker skin tones. Blush is that perfect for everyone glowy coral.

Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator – Peach Glow – Great for fair skin tones, warm peachy glow. I use it for highlighter and for eye shadow. It makes me feel bright and awake. It’s pretty soft though, mine became detached from the pot, it hasn’t broken yet and I’m hoping it won’t.




Inglot Pallet – 08 Champagne Gold, 357 Matte Brown, and 353 Matte Cream – I made this Inglot Freedom System Pallet at the store in Las Vegas, last January. I love it! I customized it myself, picked out every color. I knew these would be colors I reach for every single day. The have great lasting power and are a great price. I just wish Inglot was more accessible, I really like to see colors in person when buying makeup.

Rimmel ScandalEyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner in Nude – My go-to eyeliner for my water line. Makes eyes look bigger, brighter and more awake. Nude liner is less harsh than white in the waterline.

NYX Micro Brow Pencil in Blonde – I was using a similar high end brow pencil for a while and then I heard that these were likely made in the same place, with less mark up. I decided to give it a try. I love it! It work just as well at the high end and saves me a few dollars along the way. I have used this brow pencil through my hair color changes. I have used the taupe, auburn and ash brown as well.

L’OrĂ©al Brow Stylist Plumper Brow Gel Mascara in Light to Medium – Love this stuff! I started using it when my hair was dark to give my brows a little boost. I use the lighter shade now to lighten my brows a little for my blonde hair. I often use this just by itself when I can’t be bothered using the pencil.

Benefit Roller Lash Super Curling & Lifting Mascara – I bounce back and forth between mascaras a lot, high end or drug store. I like trying new mascaras, to see if they make my lashes look bigger and better. I keep coming back to this one. I have repurchased it 4 times. That never happens with mascara for me! And it’s actually because I ran out of it. I usually have to throw them away because they are old. Definitely something I recommend to everyone!

Jordana Easyliner for Lips in Tawny – I love these lip liners! I think I have them in 4 different colors. They are only $2.49. Tawny matches my natural lip color best; I wear it with all different shades. It’s the one I always keep in my purse no matter what lip color I am wearing. They can be hard to find in store though; I always get Jordana Cosmetics at Walgreens. While I was taking pictures for this blog post, I went to wind up the liner and I am at the very end of it. I don't think I have ever finished a lip liner, thats a good sign from a makeup hobbyist like myself.

Bare Minerals Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lip Color – Boss (Dirty Pink Beige) – I am not going to lie, part of me just wanted to buy this for the color description but I absolutely love it. It feels great on the lips, doesn’t dry them out. It smells like chocolate! I pretty much make everyone try it!

Favorite Lashes – Salon Perfect 615 – If I am wearing lashes, you can almost bet these are the ones I am wearing. I make my friends watch for them at their local Walmart because they are hard to come by. They look a little crazy in the pack but when they are on its what I like to call a “natural glam effect”. Just enough punch but totally over the top.

September was a crazy month, we travelled all over the country, at least it seemed that way. We are getting in a more normal routine these days with a new house, new city and new project. 

Since I wrote this post I have been trying and testing many new things, check back at the beginning of November for more beauty favorites!!!


The adventure continues….
