1. Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer - this product was my savior for the winter months. It's moisturizing and has light to medium coverage. I just love the soft glow it gives my skin. Unfortunately, living in Florida, the humidity is getting to my face and I'll have to put this away until it cools off, but if you suffer from dry skin I'd definitely give this a try!
2. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles - I was skeptical when I purchased this product, but this concealer is amazing! It covers my dark circles and leaves my eye area feeling moisturized without settling into those pesky creases. Thankfully, it's still working for me even in the humidity.
3. Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder - OK, the price tag on this powder kills me, but oh how I love it. It's perfect for setting my foundation without leaving my face looking caked in powder. It's absolutely beautiful and you need such a small amount that it will last you forever, which in my mind absolutely justifies the expense.
4. Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush in Flushed - THIS BLUSH! It is sure to be my favorite throughout spring and into summer. It's an absolutely beautiful, super bright, peachy coral color. The product is highly pigmented, so use a light hand and build it up. The best part? It's from Target! Go get some. Now. I'll wait.
5. NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in Sunny - I've been using this bronzer for forever and it's my go to when I need to give my skin a bit of oomph. It doesn't leave you looking muddy or orange and it's perfect for contouring or even as an all over face powder. Also, it's super cheap. Love that!
6. Lancome Eclat Miracle - this liquid highlighter gives your cheekbones the perfect glow. It's natural and easy to blend. I use it even when I'm not wearing makeup to perk up my skin. It takes the tiniest drop making this another one of those pricey products that will last you forever. Totally worth the cost!
7. Revlon Brow Fantasy Pencil & Gel - this dual ended pencil/brow gel is my favorite way to fill my brows. It looks natural and stays put all day. Love the price too! Don't forget, when choosing your color, always go a shade lighter than what you'd think. Nothing more terrifying than "sharpie brows".
8. Stila eyeshadow in Kitten - this has been a favorite of mine for years. It's the perfect brow highlight, as well as inner corner highlight. It's super pigmented so a little goes a long long way. My only complaint is that it tends to be very soft. So be very gentle with it or you'll have a broken shadow on your hands!
9. Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo in tough as taupe - this cream shadow makes an excellent base for other shadows. It stays put all day and makes powder shadows pop. This color also perfectly compliments my next fave.
10. Wet'n'Wild Color Icon shadow in Nutty - my favorite taupe shadow! Looks so pretty by itself or paired with other shadows. It's highly pigmented and super inexpensive. If you don't own it already, go get it. ASAP!
11. Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eye Pen in blackest black - this liquid pen eyeliner makes winged liner a cinch. It's super precise and stays put all day.
12. Benefit They're Real mascara - I know there are mixed reviews of this mascara, but I happen to be one of those who love it. It makes my lashes super long and full. Plus, it does not budge all day long. Definitely one of my favorite mascaras of all time.
12. Essie nailpolish in A Crewed Interest - the perfect nail polish for spring. It's a pale orange/coral. It does take a bit of work to make it perfectly even, I usually need 3 coats, but it's totally worth it!
