My Holy Grail Makeup Products, Part 1!

 //  Beauty

Hello my loves!!! I just got back from LA after some time in NYC and I am sick! Unfortunately, I think it’s the flu because a couple of my friends that I’ve spent a lot of time with have had it recently. Travel and plane germs don’t really help, so here I am in bed catching up on the blog! I’ve been a little MIA working super hard on the site redesign (I love love love it and can’t wait to show you guys the finished product in a couple weeks!!!) and I am so inspired to work on tons of fresh new content for you guys in my beautiful new space!

I filmed 2 videos of my favorite holy grail makeup products to share with you guys the things that I always come back to and trust to make me look my best. A lot of these are old favorites and some are newer discoveries that I always reach for matter how many new products I bring in and out of my makeup kit. I am not affiliated with or sponsored by any of these brands and have purchased every single item with my own money (many times). I wholeheartedly recommend everyone have these items in their collection because they are simply the best and I find that having solid basics will allow you to achieve any makeup look you want.

I hope you enjoy this first video and please let me know what your holy grail products are!!

    I’m in love with the hourglass primer and powders! They are great products. Do you have any recommendations for a good powder to carry for touch ups during the day? I just haven’t found one I love and especially during allergy season, the red, makeup-less nose from blowing is not a cute look. As a side note, do you like nars eyeshadow? There’s a newer palette at Sephora that looks gorgeous but most of the reviews are not great… Saying that it creases and isn’t very pigmented. Since I know you try it all…?

    Thanks for the video especially about primer. I was the same way with thinking that I didn’t need it but realized it makes my skin so smooth! Also its nice to hear how something works before trying it without any knowledge!

  • I’ll have to try some of these!! I’ve been wanting to try the Hourglass ambient lighting palette.
