Foundation

Make-Up Forever HD Foundation 

So this was a new for me. I never stepped out of my MAC foundation bubble and it kinda happened on a whim. I heard Make Up Forever was good and that their foundation wasn't as dewy looking as the MAC foundation, but still covered everything I wanted it to cover. After the first time, I have fallen in love. It glides on, stays on my face all day, and covers everything. I love it!

MAC Mineralize Moister SPF 15 Foundation

I love this foundation, but I haven't been loving the dewiness of it as much anymore. Now that its the winter time and things are wetter I don't want my face to look wet too. Other than that its an amazing foundation that does everything I want it to do. Even though I'm not using it as much as usual its still my fave.

Cheeks

NARS Laguna Bronzer

Everyone I talk to about this product loves it. Whats not to love anyway? Its a beautiful bronzer that when you apply it, theres not to much and theres not to little. Its a matte texture, but theres also a bit of sparkle. 

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish 

I kinda used this as a bronzer for a while... which made me look like a fairy, but I didn't really care. I loved the color on my cheeks and the tons of sparkle. I don't use it as much now, but when I want a bit of sparkle I apple a generous amount on my cheeks.

Polishes

Essie "Like a Lady"

The perfect nude for any season!

Revlon Parfumerie in "Bordeaux"

It actually smells like wine and its beautiful on! Kinda chips quickly, but I like it anyway!

Urban Outfitters Sparkle Polish

When ever I'm really lazy and don't want to take a long time to do my nails. I put on a layer of this on my nails and I'm ready to go!

Essie "Boy Blazer"

This was soo worth the hype. I love this polish. It looks like a class black, but when you really look at its a fun blue! 

2013 Favorites: Eyes

Shadows

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

Any of the Naked palettes are beauty staples for every girl. The Naked 2 palette is perfect for a neutral eye to even a beautiful dark eye.

Clinique Eye Shadow Chubby Stick in Lots o' Latte

This is my grab, slide and go eyeshadow product. I usually use this when I need to leave the house super quick or if I'm too lazy to put on makeup. I love this color though and I love the fact that it looks like a lipstick for your face!

Benefit No Pressure Creaseless Cream Shadow in Rick Fawn
This is on the top of my Benefit favorites list. The color, the texture and the fact that it stays on for so long makes me love it so.

Wet n' Wild Comfort Zone Eye Shadow Palette

My fave drugstore eyeshadow! I don't really use the other half of it though (the side with the green color), but the other side is really pretty!

2013 Favorites: Lips

Glosses

Dior Lip Glow

The ultimate pink lipgloss. Doesn't matter if you have light, medium, or dark skin, it matches every skin tone. So much love. 

Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Bare Pink

Not only does it smell good, but it looks beautiful on. Its the perfect nude gloss for any season. 

 Buxom Full-On Lip Polish in Dolly

First off, the Buxom lip polish collection has beautiful colors and it was very hard to pick my favorite one. Whats not to love about these lip glosses? They're tingly, super glossy, and smell incredible. 

Lipsticks

The Beautiful Black Eye

Black is always the new black in clothing of course, but also in makeup. Eyeliner (thick or thin), smokey eye, cat eye, ect. Whats not to love? 

Effy Stonem or Kaya Scodelario is the number 1 reason I love dark make up. She pulls it off perfectly. If only I had her beautiful blue eyes.

Object of Desire | Chanel Les Beiges

"Sunlight; health; radiance. Words that evoke Chanel's latest beauty product, Les Beiges and Sarah Beeby's celebratory film created exclusively for anothermag.com." Les Beiges is an important moment for Chanel. Created by Peter Phillips, the creamy packaging is the first time the brand has changed its iconic monochrome lacquered casing. The powder takes its inspiration from the outdoors, which is key to the history of Chanel –  Gabrielle Chanel was often to be found walking on the beaches of Deauville, Cannes and Biarritz, her face bare, warmed with subtle radiance. Very aware of the difficulties of giving Caucasian and Asian skin tones a natural glow, Phillips chose not to use bronzer or sparkle, instead working to create a powder that would focus on natural beauty, enhancing, reviving and brightening the complexion. "I worked with the Chanel Laboratories for months to compose the perfect range of beige shades," he explains.

"Gabriele Chanel was often to be found walking on the beaches of Deauville, Cannes and Biarritz, her face bare, warmed with subtle radiance"

The product is also smart. The fine, lightweight and antioxidant powder shields the skin from environmental stress and sunlight and its ultra-protective formula, enriched with cotton flower and white rose plant cells, becomes one with the skin. It is gentle on all skin types, even the most sensitive. Sculpted in a half-moon shape, the brush in each case is designed to follow the curves of the face. “You have to be able to apply your make-up without thinking about it,” explains Philips. “And even though the case contains a wide-angle mirror, you can sweep on some Beige with your eyes closed. I guarantee that the result will be perfectly natural.”-Text by Laura Bradley

Matte Nails

In the photo above the nails are painted in black matte nail polish with a glossy tip.

H&M Matte Nail Polish. For now it is only sold in Europe.

Matte Nail Polish

Black Matte Nail Polish is the hot new nail trend for this fall!  

Matte Nail Polish is a non-glossy nail polish that you can find in any color. 

This different nail style is a lot classier than the printed stick on nail polish that you would find at drug stores. Something about matte nail polish (especially black) has a very high fashion look to it, which would make any outfit look very "high end" and very put together. 

You gotta love it! I know I do!
