A Few Makeup Favorites



Hello, my name is Amanda and I'm addicted to makeup.

But seriously, I do.  I scour the internet reading review after review, watch make up tutorials, and overall just kill my bank account anytime I get anywhere near Sephora, Ulta, or even Target or Walmart.  Even if I just need a replacement of something, I always seem to come out with some new product to try!  It's a problem.

But I thought I'd share a few of my favorite products that I am just loving lately. 

1.  I have been on an everlasting search for the perfect concealer.  I am very fair skinned and have very translucent skin.  Oh and I have bad allergies.  Needless to say I have TERRIBLE dark circles under my eyes.  It's probably my least favorite part of my face.  This concealer is one of the greats I believe.  It goes on smooth, doesn't settle in the creases of my under eye, and blends well with just about any foundation!
2. This blush is amazing.  First of all Benefit blushes and bronzers smell INCREDIBLE.  I use this one in conjunction with the bronzer to create a contoured look.  Super easy. 
3. This Benefit bronzer is my favorite!  Just because you're pale doesn't mean you don't need some bronzer!  It has a highlighter to go with it that makes contouring a breeze!
4. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PRIMER.  Okay I said it.  I was super skeptical.  15 hours is a prettttty lofty promise in my opinion.  And the price tag of $30 is a bit much for me too.  However, I read the reviews and they all said it was great.  And they were right.  This stuff is phenomenal.  My makeup looks just as great at 10pm as it did when I put it on at 6am and makes all my makeup go on super smooth.  DEFINITE buy if you like a primer under your makeup.
5.  I've never worn much Tarte makeup.  And I'm not sure why.  This Amazonian Clay Foundation is incredible.  Lightweight but provides incredible coverage.  Plus it has tons of great things for your skin it.

But I am by no means a make up artist.  But I like to play around with different products and brushes.  If you guys like this post, maybe I'll do an eye make/product post as well?  Let me know.

These are my favorites for now.  But I know I'll find some more stuff soon.  

Have a favorite product?  Let me know!  I always love to try new products!
