My Top Ten Beauty Products!

Hiii! 
I haven't written much on here because I couldn't think of anything to write about that would be actually entertaining to read but, I thought about it and I decided to make a list of my top ten beauty products that I would repurchase over and over again until something else that works just as well, can take its place. 
I'm going to do this in order from 10-1, 10 being the least favorite as compared to number 1, but still my favorite; otherwise it wouldn't be on here- obviously.


10. Equate Beauty Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover 


I used to use the Neutrogena Makeup Remover wipes and then I found this amazing product. Don't get me wrong, the Neutrogena wipes work AMAZING and I would completely recommend them but they're a little bit on the pricey side- for me at least. It's about $8 for a pack that usually lasts up to 2-3 weeks. I got this at Walmart right next to the Neutrogena wipes and it was only $3. I bought this around the second week of December and I'm like halfway through the bottle. I use the cotton rounds to take off any eye makeup and it removes it completely. I think it works almost like the Neutrogena makeup remover but not exactly. Regardless though, I thought it was a steal and it's a great product to use.

9. NARS lipstick- Afghan Red


This is my go to lipstick at the moment. It's such a beautiful cranberry color and it isn't too deep. I'm a little afraid to go too deep because that's very risky and if it doesn't look good I'll look like an idiot. I have Diva from Mac and it's a much deeper color. It's a really really pretty color it's almost a darker hue of this color. But anyways, this color is beautiful at this time of year. It's a little mystical but still very classy. I like to mix it with bright pinks or maybe even red and it looks awesome on me. I love it so much. The only thing about this lipstick is that it's $26. I think that's a little expensive for a lipstick but that's just my opinion! 

8. Benefit Cosmetics - Hoola Bronzer 


I never really used bronzer until my cousins and my sister started to get obsessed over it. My sister bought the Two Faced Sun Bunny at first and it looked really nice on her. The only thing I didn't like was that it was shimmery and I don't like shimmer on my face. This bronzer is matte and it's very light so I think it's absolutely perfect. It was $28 and I got it in September and I still have a lot of the product left. It's great I love it a lot. I've gotten a lot of compliments on how it looks on me and I tend to get a big head. I love when products like these make me feel awesome. 


7.  Urban Decay - Naked Basics 









 

SELF EXPLANATORY WHY IT'S AWESOME! I prefer matte eyeshadows rather than shimmery because there's less fallout and it looks better. I feel like you can do so much more with matte colors especially with this palette because it's neutral colors that you can either a dramatic or natural look. Also, it could be used to fill in your eyebrows and maybe even contour places like your nose. I've never tried contouring my nose but I have filled in my eyebrows with it. I think it works just as well as eyebrow products. Love this. Totally worth the price. 

6. Buxom - Amplified Lash Mascara


I already wrote a blog post about why this mascara is the best mascara in the universe. You can see it here.


5. Benefit Cosmetics - Erase Paste 


I'm a concealer freak. I own a thousand different concealers and nothing works. I have really bad dark circles. They're purple and red and not pretty so I need the best concealer to cover up. Erase Paste works really well at doing that. The only downside to this product is that it goes into my fine lines which sucks but I love the coverage. It's really thick but on the face it doesn't feel heavy. 

4. L'Oreal - True Match Concealer 


Like I said I own a thousand different concealers. I use both this concealer and the Erase Paste. The Erase Paste to cover the purpleish colors and then I use this one to match my skin tone a little better because the Erase Paste is a little too light. It does miracles to my eyes. It brightens and makes my face look great and like I actually slept! 

3. Sigma - F80 Flat Kabuki Brush


My cousin gave me this for christmas and I love it. I'm never going back to my Mac stippling brush to apply my foundation. It gives me almost airbrushed finished and it doesn't leave any streaky marks. I love this brush it's awesome! When people say Sigma brushes are really good, they mean it. This is my first Sigma brush and when I can, I'm making sure I'm getting more. 

2. Benefit- Porefessional Primer 


Everyone who knows about beauty products knows this is a great primer. It minimizes pore sizes and it gives you a flat canvas to apply the rest of your makeup. I don't have large pores but my mom does and I tried this on her and it made such a difference to when she just applies her foundation compared to with the primer then foundation. It gives a very silky feel and it goes on very smooth to the face.

1. Neutrogena - Foundation


All time FAVORITE PRODUCT! It matches perfectly to my skin color and it's so light on the skin it's so perfect. It doesn't make me break out and it's a drugstore brand. I'm not one to splurge on a foundation because I'm not really crazy about foundation I just use it to even out my skin tone so drugstore foundation works for me, but this is like my soulmate. I don't think I'm going to change my foundation anytime soon, it's the love of my life. 


Those are my top ten beauty products. I hope you enjoyed reading, if you didn't, I'm sorry. If you have any questions or comments feel free to reply. 

Blessings xoxo
