Beauty Favorites

So we all know that I am the worlds worst blogger but such is life.  Life is just plain busy lately.  But after many requests to write a beauty blog, here goes my best effort.

I hate to admit it but I have commitment issues when it comes to make up. [don't worry not in my relationships. Casey and I are great].  I guess I am extremely picky and enjoy trying new products.  But here are a few products that I love lately, and one that kind of let me down. If you follow me on Instagram, I've actually already posted about a lot of these but in case you want more detail, read on!

1.  Covergirl Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation is a great foundation that is not too heavy but has fantastic coverage.  I wear the lightest shade Ivory [shocker I know] and it is [for once] a close match to my skin.  It's claims to be your primer, foundation, and concealer all in one.  Confession: I still use my Benefit 15 hr Primer and concealer.  But that's just me.  Great stuff though. I actually just picked up my second bottle of this today, which must mean its a win!
2. Revlon Kissable Balm Stain in Honey.  Now honestly, this is  new purchase but I am loving it already.  It's definitely a my lips but better shade.  It doesn't dry out my lips either.  So balm stain for the win!
3. The Goody TangleFix Brush.  Now you are probably thinking that this is one funny looking brush.  And it is.  Now incase you didn't know, I have very thick hair that gets very tangled.  Like one little wind gust and I've got a rats nest on my hands.  Straight out the shower? Also a rats nest.  This brush brushes through my tangles in one brush.  Amazing.  Seriously.  And at only $6 at Walmart.  Definitely a must if your hair gets tangled.
4. Now this is actually a product that let me down.  I recently ran out of my Covergirl 3 in 1 foundation and when I went to get another one they were out in my shade.  Sad day.  So I picked up this CoverGirl Tru Blend to see if it was comparable.  Unfortunately I was not impressed with the coverage or its lasting power.  The coverage was light, so that could work for some people.  However, by the end of an 8hr work day it was like I had never even put any on my nose and around my chin.  It wore off very easily which I typically have long days at work and need my makeup to last!  Even with the Benefit 15 hr Primer [which is the best primer I have every used FYI] it didn't last.  I have a lot of redness around my nose area so that's where I needed it!  Oh well.  You never know until you try!

Anyway, if you want to see more makeup recommendations, let me know! I'll do my best to see what I can do for you!  I am by no means a makeup artist but I do happen to be pretty opinionated.

Until next time :),
