Top Ten Tuesday: Beauty Favorites

1// Becca Ombre Rouge Eye Palette:  I am always on the hunt for nice eyeshadows that are easy to apply and last all day. I have been using this palette for a few weeks and absolutely love it. I took it on my trip and during the day would just wear the first 3 colors and then at night when I wanted a more smokey look, so I would apply the last two shades. I love that this allows you to have a more natural “ombre” look or even a darker, smoky eye.

2// Nest Fragrance in Indigo:  – Moroccan tea, Kashmir wood, and black cardamom are enhanced with hints of wild fig and bergamot. This is hands down the best perfume I have ever used. I am not much for using perfume, but goodness this smells amazing and now I use it everyday. I also got the rollerball size for the last trip I just went on.

3// The Healthy Deodorant: Speaking of smelling good, I have also just found the best deodorant. I don’t know how many sticks of deodorant I have gone through trying to find one that lasts and has a nice scent. I have found it and I love it because I feel like I don’t sweat as much when I work out and it lasts all day. I own it in the scent of lavender.

4//Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation: I have been using this foundation for a year and love it so much. It contains SPF and has the nicest coverage, not too thick and not too thin. It is a foundation that you can put on with your hands for a quick coverage or with a brush for a nicer finish. I can’t say enough good things about this foundation. I am currently the shade warm sand in 2.5.

5// Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyebrow Pencil: If you have eyebrows, you need this, period. I use this every single day and does such an amazing job at filling in your brows. You will not be sorry with this purchase. I use the shade soft brown.

6// Anastasia Brow Gel: If you are going to use the brow pencil, you are going to want to use this gel to make sure your brows stay in place. We all know how eyebrows have a “mind of their own”. I know if I don’t use this, my brows end up looking all sorts of cray-cray by the end of the day.

7//Shaping Powder: If you are in the market for a great highlighting powder for the eyes or cheeks, I absolutely love this one.

8// Bobbi Brown Smoky Eye Mascara: I recently got eyelash extensions, see below, but before eyelash extensions, I was using this mascara and thought it did a great job at making my lashes thick and long.

9// Amuse Bouche Lipstick by Bite Beauty: Anything by Bite Beauty is a favorite for my lips but with summer just around the corner, I am loving the shades Peachy Nude and Marshmallow Pink.

10// Mac Pro Longwear Concealer: This has always been a great under eye concealer for me. I’ve basically been using it since I became a mom, so if that doesn’t sell you on it…

These are just a few of my past/current beauty favorites. I know I mentioned above that I recently got eyelash extensions from A Good Wax, and wanted to share the before and after photo. Crazy right?!?! I have to say I loved these so much on our trip to the Caribbean. I felt like I didn’t have to wear much makeup, especially spending most days on the beach. It felt great not having to mess with waterproof mascara and waking up each day feeling like I already had “my face” on.

What are some of your current beauty favorites? I always love hearing what others are using so I can go check them out too!
