1. Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser
This baby is a holy grail kind of product. It works extremely well with my sensitive, normal-to-oily skin. It's light, non-irritating, and has been keeping my skin sweet and clean. I use it with the Cetaphil Gentle Moisturizer. Both are non-comedogenic - meaning they don't clog pores - which is pretty fab if you ask me. Because it is a simple and gentle cleanser, it should definitely be paired with a separate skin care product that has more active ingredients if you're looking to address other skin concerns and really repair your skin.
2. Clarisonic Mia
This electronic face brush is a deep-cleansing piece of magic. I use it two to three times a week to deep clean my pores as well as exfoliate my skin. As per the instructions, I apply my cleanser on the damp brush, turn the Clarisonic Mia on, and use the Mia to slowly massage the cleanser onto my damp skin for about a minute. Based on reviews I've read, I really think that the Clarisonic works for some skin types and does not work for others. So far, it's been lovely for my skin!
3. NARS Laguna Bronzer
I recently purchased this bronzer to try it out after hearing people rave about it for so many years. Let's just say if someone were to take it away now, I'd have a serious case of separation anxiety. It's the perfect tone - not orangey at all - and blends beautifully. The bronzer has a tiny bit of shimmer... enough to give you a nice glow and still be able to use for contouring. Also, it is a pretty large bronzer which makes it worth its price.
4. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream
The BB cream craze is just the beginning of the multi-purpose makeup trend (who doesn't love time-saving products?). This BB cream primes, moisturizes, and evens out my skin. It's what I wear on an everyday basis when I need to get ready quickly as I can apply it with my fingers just like a moisturizer.
5. MAC Pearl Cream Color Base
This is my go-to product for adding a fresh, dewy, J.Lo-esque glow to my face. I apply it to the high points of my face (cheek bones, brow bones, bridge of my nose, cupids bow and chin) with my fingers. Lasts a while and is a great price.
6. Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara
I normally avoid getting pricey mascaras - just because Maybelline has amazing ones that I can get for less than $5. However, I really wanted to know why there was so much hype surrounding Lancome's Hypnose mascaras. I decided to go with Hypnose Star for more dramatic, flared lashes. The brush is amazing! It really adds to your lashes' length and volume without any clumping. I love love love!
7. NARS Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner in Via Veneto
I found this product while hunting for a black pencil eyeliner that would not smudge on me - a very difficult task. I once heard a great things about NARS' eyelid primer so I thought that they must know what they're doing with smudge-proof eyeliner too. It applies smoothly, does not smudge, lasts a long time, and does not require any sharpening (it rolls right up!). I can see myself buying it again once I run out.
8. MAC Viva Glam Nicki Minaj Lipglass
A perfect bright pink gloss that I think would suit every skin tone! It's a short tube which fits nicely into my purse and all of the funds go to charity! Double thumbs up!
