Take a look inside my makeup bag!

My current obsessions:

Hairspray- Beyond the zone Final Take.
I am in love with this hairspray. First off, it smells like a mix of tropical fruits, who wouldn't like that? It has a medium-firm hold which I personally love. The plus with this stuff is that it actually makes your hair shiny, unlike most stronger hold sprays that dull the hair and make it look white and flakey. And it's not a unhealthy shine, the kind that people look at you wondering when the last time you washed your hair. You can find it at sally's beauty supply online or in store, it's about $8.

 

Powder foundation: Aveda Mineral Dual Foundation.
Comes in 9 lovely shades! The awesome thing about this stuff is that even though it is a powder, it is a medium to full coverage. It leaves a light, soft, porcelein look. If you perfer the more "dewey" look, wet the applicator with a little bit of water and apply as usual. I never used to use powder foundations but the past year my skin has been more oily than usual, so this was a great find! For those of your who have dry skin, just apply a moisturizer first before this and your set! Found online at Aveda.com or in any Aveda salon/store. $22.50

Bronzer: Aveda Uruku Bronzer.
This is the only bronzer i've found that does not make my skin break out. For those of you with sensetive skin like myself, this is great for you! Since it has no synthetics and no parabens it's pratically fool proof! There are two color pads to pick from, this one shown is Brazillian Sun, I use the lighter one of the two, Amazonian. The lighter half is perfect for highlighting the cheek bones, and the darker half is perfect for contouring cheek bones! Found at Aveda.com or in any Aveda salon/store. $22.50



Liquid Foundation: Loreal True Match.
I've tried many expensive foundations before and this is by far the best i've used, and it's WAY cheaper than others! This line is great because it gives you a wide variety to get your perfect color. There are cool, warm, and neutral shades and you chose your level within your shade to match. This foundation is a medium coverage without feeling heavy or sticky. I use a light shade with a more warm pigment, and I use a much darker one as well (about 3-5) shades darker than my skin tone for the contouring area's such as your cheek bones and forehead. Found at most drug stores for about $10.

Under Eye Concealer: Physicians Formula Concealer.
I like this under eye concealer because it hides the dark circles with the yellow, then you blend it out with the skin colored concealer. As well as put it over any other blemishes. I've used this concealer on and off (I always like trying new products) for about 4 years and I always seem to come crawling back to the Physicians Formula section in my local drug store. It runs about $12 at most places, but I have found it at Target for a little more.




I'll post more tomorrow. Trust me, there's many more products I want to rant about to you guys!
