From time to time I list a few of my favorites on here. It’s been a while, and so I think it’s long overdue. Although on my budget, there are a few things I still find a way to fork the cash over for….or beg my family to remember on holidays or birthdays. These are a few of my favorite things. If you’ve not tried them…you should.
Victoria’s Secret Lip Gloss is always a must. I prefer the chocolate flavor, but couldn’t find a picture of it. Any flavor will do as they all really taste soooo yummy. They are long lasting and smooth. They don’t get tacky as a lot of lip glosses do. And they’re light and I think a little sexy….hence it being from Victoria’s Secret.
Merle Norman Concealer is the ultimate in covering or camouflaging uneven skin and dark skin. I’ve lived my whole life trying different concealers, and feeling extremely unhappy with the results. My dark circles were never what some would look at and say they were really noticeable. BUT I noticed them! I’m a young woman of 35 (36 soon) and didn’t want to deal with my under eye area anymore. I went bare for a few years, until I stopped in my mom’s local Merle Norman shop on a whim. I asked her if she could help and did she ever. This stuff is an amazing tool. You’ll need to apply it with their concealer brush. She also recommended covering up the sides of my nose, at the bridge area. This is amazing stuff!Their slogan is true…this is my best friend as far as make-up goes. This is the one I use, and it’s got so many shades that shimmer and slide on evenly. They can be as translucent or as heavy as you want them to be. I’m more on the tame side of things, as I’m not a teenager anymore…but I love a little sass when it comes to glam. This is a must when it comes to drawing attention either subtly or dramatically to one of our best features…our eyes! The eyes definitely have it with this product.
For those of you who know me, you know I’m the furthest thing from high maintenance when it comes to out ward appearances. It doesn’t take me but 30-45 minutes to get ready. I’m what you would call a natural girl, but one who knows how to fix up. These are my essentials for the day, so I thought I’d share them with you. They’re worth every penny!
