My Favorites...Makeup Edition

I'm addicted to beauty products. Especially makeup. It's true. I wish I had like $500 right now that I could use just to buy makeup. Seriously. I would love that a lot. The sad part is that I could probably even spend more than that. I'm ok with my addiction though. No need to do an intervention or anything. Anyway, today I'm going to share with you some of my absolute favorites. I love it.

Ok, my first favorite is MAC bronzer. Bronzer just gives your face a nice summery glow. It's a must have for me.


Next up, MAC eyeshadow. I wish I could buy all of them. A few of my favorites are gesso, brule, shroom, handwritten, and carbon. Those are all neutrals and the ones I use the most, but they have a ton of fun colors!
My next favorite is MAC's Fluidline gel eyeliner. I have the color blacktrack, but I really want them all. This eyeliner stays exactly how you applied it all day long. It's freakin' fantastic!
I just started using this next one recently, but I really like it a lot. It's L'Oreal's Carbon Black Voluminous mascara. Super dark black, nice separation, and your lashes stay soft and it doesn't flake off at all. Really great mascara and cheap!
Ok, some of you might not need this next one at all, but I do! Maybelline Expert Eyes Brow & Eye Pencils Duo in blonde. My eyebrows are light and kind of sparse, so I need these to give my eyebrows a little definition.
Next is Benefit Dandelion Luminizer. A nice soft pink highlighting powder. I love this stuff. I like using this along with my bronzer.

On to the lips! I love the Sephora Collection Ultra Shine Lip Gloss. I have it in shiny natural look, but of course want several other colors.



Next is nail polish. I love love love nail polish and have quite a few, but one that I have to have at all times is OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark. It's an almost black purple color and it's almost always what I put on my toes.



Well, that's it for my favorites...makeup edition!!! What are your favorites? I'd love to know!

P.S. I'll have a food related post up again soon!

I love OPI also but hardly ever paint my nails anymore. Do you get a pedicure or do your toes yourself? Is the bronzer a cream or powder. I'm so fair skinned that I think a bronzer would look odd on me. I'll have to check out the MAC eyeshadows. I usually use Cover Girls Shimmering Sands or Mink eyeshadow. :-)

Hey Barb!! I do my toes myself...wish I could get a pedicure every time! The bronzer is a powder, you should try it out! If you go to the MAC counter at Macys they would try it out on you so you could see :) I love MAC eyeshadows, but they are kind of expensive.

P.S. I made your chicken salad again last night and had it for lunch again today. LOVE it!

I have never been brave enough to try a really dark, almost black nail polish before but saw this in the store yesterday and thought, "what the heck." Tried it last night and really, really like it a lot. Next question - do you use your bronzer all over your face or just on your cheeks?

Yay! That color is awesome, isn't it?! I love it :) I use the bronzer on my cheeks, then put a little on my chin, nose, and forehead.
