I’ve been obsessed with makeup since I was about 11 years old. I used to wear mascara because I felt my mother couldn’t see it on me (therefore I couldn’t get yelled at), but this was always ruined when I had smudges of black underneath my eyes. Now I know a lot more and have tried more makeup and beauty products than I’d like to admit, so if something is good, I keep with it. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
Some of my faves:
Chanel - Coco Mademoiselle Perfume
Modern, feminine...this might be the most girly thing I own, but I love it!
MAC Cosmetics - Brow Gel
Need a way to comb your brows into place and give them some color? Pick this up STAT!
Kiehl’s - Silk Groom
Works great on your hair wet or dry, and I love that the brand is oh-so-generous with samples...that’s how I scored this little guy.
Covergirl - LashBlast Mascara
This beats all of ‘em! DiorShow and Lancome’s Defincils can pack their bags and go home as far as I’m concerned. This gets my lashes as fat, as dark, and as long...and costs about three times less.
MAC Cosmetics - brush #283
Perfect for those of us with less than a steady hand.
MAC Cosmetics - brush #184
Apply blush or bronzer without going overboard...ever.
Head & Shoulders - 2-in-1 Shampoo Plus Conditioner in Classic Clean
If I can get someone to sneak me into Costco I can buy a year’s worth for $10. And for that year I’ll have ridiculously shiny, fresh hair (when I get around to washing it, of course).
MAC Cosmetics - Nail Polish in Rougemarie
The perfect red to compliment my super fair skin.
Viktor & Rolf - Flowerbomb Perfume
I use this for special occasions because it’s insanely sexy and makes you feel like a million bucks...probably because it costs so dang much, but sometimes we have to splurge.
