| Ok, ok… I admit it. I’m a makeup junkie. My love for makeup is somehow growing as I get older, not sure if it’s because I find some sort of comfort in knowing that I look different every time I try to switch things up, but I enjoy discovering new products and rekindling my love for those that I stopped using. I’m not an expert or claim to be, but being around special women in my life who are make-up artists and creatives, I’m lucky to be surrounded by great makeup (high & low), tips and tricks! Beauty is definitely something that as you get older, you grow into. If that makes sense. Now, I’m more comfortable with trying new looks, things, ideas and styles. It’s all part of having fun and not taking it too seriously! Below are a few of my favorites must-haves that I’m currently into. I’m really big on lipstick, blush/bronzer, perfume and mascara! Check them out and let me know if you guys have any questions! Would love to answer any beauty related q’s. xx |
 |
| Ok, this is serious. I must have over 12 bottles of perfume. I love scents so I’m constantly splurging on good ones, but don’t get me wrong, I’ll buy inexpensive ones too. Right now, I’m totally diggin’ Marc Jacobs Daisy Sunshine. It’s sweet, soft, and has the right amount of citrusy touch! Everytime I wear it I get asked what perfume I have on- it smells really fresh! #mjdaisychain I always had trouble finding the “right” mascara.. never had one that really made my lashes stay up or that made them voluminous. After many, many visits to Sephora and Rite Aid to try and find “the one”, I’ve finally found a couple that I love and won’t stop using. This YSL Shocking mascara (volume effect). It really does the trick without having to use too many coats! I have thin, lashes so this really gives it an extra oomph. I also love Dior’s Diorshow mascara; I’ve been using this one longer and it’s my ultimate favorite. It’s long-lasting, makes my lashes stay curl and gives me volume! I also love Maybelline’s Lash Discovery Waterproof mascara- perfect for reaching the hidden lashes! |
 |
| You have to have good brushes to apply your make-up with; I know they can be a bit pricey but it will make all the difference when you start applying your make-up. Invest in a couple of good ones; like powder, blush and foundation brushes. Above is my favorite- NARS Botan brush. It’s a kabuki brush that’s perfect for applying powder, blending and buffing! I’m not really of an eyeshadow type of girl because I don’t know how to successfully achieve a cool |
 |
| For lips, I’m obsessed with having the perfect soft pink/nude lipstick. My skin complexion is tanned and I feel like these shades always complement my skin tone a lot better than say, bright ones. I have 4 favorites that I literally buy two of every time I go and buy them (one for my purse and one in my car/or house). Lately I’ve been reaching out for this Estee Lauder in Pinkadelic 01. Gives me the right amount of blush tone pink on my lips! Looks so natural!
For my inexpensive lipsticks, I always wear Maybelline’s Baby Lips in Pink Punch. This is seriously, my hands-down favorite. I religiously wear this thing! Always carry it with me- always. ps- always carry bobby pins! I do!… they come in handy, all the time. |
 |
| I love me some blush and bronzer. I’ve been wearing the two for as long as I can remember. I usually wear MAC’s Prism blush and Physicians Formula bronzer. Recently, I discovered Lorac’s blush/bronzer duo in Hot & Spicy and fell in love! Now I don’t have to carry both my blush and bronzer palettes and can carry them in one! Plus, it gives me a nice shimmer when I apply it on the apples of my cheek! The Rimmel ScandalEyes eyeshadow stick is great too, I use this only on the inside of my tear duct to help open up my eyes and it also looks pretty in photos! Below is a fun little collage to go along with this beauty post! Totally freshening up and wearing vibrants colors for this spring! Cant wait! Follow me on Polyvore and you can see all my collages! |

Your makeup always looks flawless. I rarely use makeup because I just can’t seem to get the application right.

Love this post – you should def incorporate some more beauty stuff on here!
I would totally think that the Maybelline lipstick from the color sensational range in 235 Warm Me Up would suit you to a T – i call it the ‘my lips but better’ lipstick!

I love makeup too, it’s like one of those hidden loves. I continually buy and buy and get so excited when new collections come out and I’m also guilty of buying similar products from different brands but it’s something I don’t expose very often.
Thanks for sharing!

Great post and lovely pictures. Everybody seems to like baby lips so I’m finally going to give it a try. The website http://maybelline.co.in/products/lips/lip_balm/baby_lips_balm.html didn’t show the pink punch shade but the berry crush baby lips shade looks pretty good too. I think i’m gonna try that one
Great article and right to the point. I don’t know if this is truly the best place to ask but do you folks have any idea where to employ some professional writers.
