BEAUTY FAVORITES: MAKEUP & SKINCARE EDIT

I’m sharing all my favorite holy grail beauty favorites with you! In this edition, I’m focusing on makeup and skin care products.

1. Patchology Rejuvenating Eye Gels: A must after any flight, these help with puffiness under the eyes. Tip – put them in the fridge for 30 minutes before you use!
   
2. Estee Lauder Double Wear Matte Foundation: All time, best ever, never lets me down foundation. I’ve been wearing this since high school and don’t see myself stopping anytime soon. It stays on through sweating, crying, and anything else you can think of. It’s the BEST.
   
3. Glossier Lidstar: I am not really an eye shadow girl, so this is right up my alley. No brush needed. Simply use the applicator to dot it on your eyelids, then use your finger to blend. My favorite colors are Cub & Moon.
4. Origins GinZing Refreshing Scrub Cleanser: I know you’re not supposed to use an exfoliating scrub everyday, but this one is gentle enough to do just that. Brightens and cleanses your skin so well.
   
5. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer: I spend about 20 seconds on my brow using this amazing pencil. Soft brown is my color.
   
6. Mario Badescu Facial Spray: A couple of sprays before my moisturizer at night, and this sets the tone for a hydrating night of sleep.
   
7. Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Drops: I was skeptical, but they work! They are not orange or streaky. I go between light and medium depending on my natural tan.
   
8. Glossier Boy Brow: Another great quick brow product that I use in conjunction with my Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer. Sets brows in place so they look great and full all day long.
   
9. Beauty Blender: Will never go back to using a foundation brush again. I use this to apply foundation and to blend my blush/bronzer. Don’t forget to wet it before you use!
   
10. NARS Orgasm Blush: I rarely need highlighter when I use this blush. It’s my go-to everyday blush that I get compliments on regularly.
    
11. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer: I’m shade Vanilla in this concealer, and I have to say it’s the best I have found yet. No creasing and really lightens up under the eyes.
    
12. Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit: I’m not big on contouring, but I do like to use shade Fawn in this kit to go along my cheek bones and at the top of my forehead. I miss it when I don’t use it. I also like to use the lighter colors to highlight my brow bone.
    
13. Smashbox Halo Hydrating Powder Foundation: I heard this product was getting discontinued (not true) and bought 15 to keep in my back stock. I NEVER want to be without this! It is the only powder I have that has anti-aging benefits plus full coverage.
    
14. It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Sensitive Skin Moisturizer: I can tell a visible difference after using this for about a year. My skin is less red and it keeps me hydrated under my foundation all day long.
    
15. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara: I go back and forth between this and trying out drug store mascaras, but I always come back to this. It makes me feel like I have fake lashes on without having to mess with the glue.
    
16. Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask: Probably my favorite product I use for my skin. This is the last step in my routine before bed, and my skin has visibly changed from super dry to normal. It’s not really a mask, but rather a thick moisturizer.
    
17. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Mask: You can’t beat these for the cost. I try to use a mask like this about once or twice a week, and always after a flight.
