Favorites in February - Beauty

I have a crazy obsession with makeup and skincare products. I have tried them, fell in love with some and ditched many others. These are my current favorites.

1. My skin is the only skin I have, so I do have a pretty serious skin care regiment. And I drink a lot of water to keep my hydrated.

-Face wash for AM is Philosophy Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash

Gentle and effective.



-Face Wash for PM is Philosophy Purity Made Simple



Really gets my skin clean.

-Daytime Moisturizer is sadly, no longer available, as Prescriptives said goodbye to the beauty world this month. I have a new bottle of All You Need + SPF 15 to get me through a few months and then I'll be finding a new moisturizer

.
-Eye Cream is also Prescriptives, so alas, I am unable to tell you to get it.

-Evening Moisturizer is Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Relief Cream

I have some slight redness and this soothes without making my skin too oily

2. Foundation
I am pretty fair-skinned (some may say pale, that's ok) and so I am constantly in search of the best foundation with even coverage that lets me still look like me and not too masky.

-I love Clinique's Perfectly Real foundation

Good coverage, great colors, and affordable

-NARS Sheer Matte foundation is also lovely.

Way more expensive, but really nice stuff.

3. Powder

-I am really liking Bare Essentuals Hydrating Mineral Veil

I do also like the foundation powder, but right now I am liking this powder for everyday. It does have a teeny bit of luster, so if you are very oily it may not work for you.

-Stila Sheer Pressed Powder

This is always with me in my bag. Love the flawless coverage.

4. Eyes

-Mascara I have fallen in love with is Sephora Brand Waterproof Triple Action Mascara

It's natural for everyday and truly doesn't clump or smudge.

-Eyeshadow Cargo Essential Palette

Very natural and wearable, smooth application

-Undereye concealer and highlighter Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector

Instantly makes me look a little perkier. Affordable and a great formula.

5. Cheeks

I never used to 'get' blush and I kind of avoided it. Now, I am loving it. Especially cream versions for their natural flush look.

-Stila Convertible Color

I've been liking Poppy lately

-Smashbox OGlow

This is a build able gel formula so you can go from day to evening.

-Sephora Blush Me

My favorite powder version. I like all their colors.

7. Lips

I adore gloss. I am constantly searching for that perfect pink shade that is naturally pretty.

-Cargo Classic Gloss

This is the least-sticky gloss I have ever worn. My favorite shade is Tobago.

-Stila Lip Glazes

Get the mini set and you are going to love all the colors. They add instant plump and the colors are great.

-Philosophy The Supernatural Superglossy Lip Gloss

Glowy and smooth.
