Game Changers

I'm a total sucker for all things beauty. Cosmetics, hair supplies, facial regimens, nails...you name it, I love it! 

I want to give you all a brief little comment of everything above (in order of images) so you can rush out and buy them...b/c this is something I would totally do.
 

-Eos lip balm: I honestly have one of these in my purse, desk drawer, nightstand, gym bag, car console, and bathroom. I can't get enough. They are the perfect size and the best moisturizer for my lips. My favorite flavor is the coconut milk.

 

-Bliss Body Butter: I never run out of this stuff. It is amazing and hands down the best lotion I have ever used. I usually buy the HUGE size at Nordstrom Rack.

 

-Catwalk Fashionista purple shampoo: I'm a recent blondie and the thought of having brassy locks terrifies me. This shampoo is magic..no really. It turns my color from blah to gorg, making my blonde light and shiny.

 

-Moroccan Oil treatment: I use all Moroccan Oil products, but this is my favorite. Makes my coarse, naturally curly hair soft and manageable. I use it on both wet and dry hair. Plus it smells like heaven.

 

-TIGI Masterpiece shine hairspray: I am not a big hairspray user. Mostly b/c volume is the last thing I need. This spray is amazing. It holds hair in place and makes it glisten without causing hair to be stiff. I LOVE.

 

-Urban Decay All-Nighter setting spray: I have raved about this product MANY times on the blog. It is my absolute favorite product. Spray this of your face after make-up is applied and it will literally look the exact same HOURS later. I don't run out of this product.

 

-Bobbi Brown Metallic Long-Wear Cream Shadow: This is another product I swear by. My favorite shade is Goldstone. I especially love this in the summer b/c it seriously won't crease or come off...even in water.

 

-Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet lipstick: I have this lipstick in several colors. Favorite: L'Exuberante. It says in place for hours and doesn't ever crack or give lips that chalky look. Worth every penny.

 

-Sally Hansen Gel polish: I literally DO NOT have time to get my nails painted with shellac every 10 days. I found this polish at Target, gave it a try and am now HOOKED. With no light needed, you apply this polish and then the clear gel top coat and BAM...shellac nails in 2 minutes. I have found it to last a minimum of 10 days. It's amazing and a real money saver. Favorite colors: Birthday Suit and All Chalked Up.

 

-Remington hair wand: I bought this wand at Ulta 2 years ago and believe it gives my hair the most beautiful curls. So if you wanna look like a Victoria Secret model (obviously just their hair) then get this tool.

 

-Rodan + Fields Amp MD System: I'm only 31, but I owe Rodan + Fields for keeping me without a wrinkle thus far. This system is incredible and I will sing it's praises every day. Use this noninvasive roller over face and then apply night renewing serum with Retinol to give your lines/wrinkles a filler without the money or pain. Link: hholliday.myrandf.com

 

I hope you guys love this stuff as much as I do!

I am often asked about what cosmetics I use....well here ya go! I LOVE make-up and always have! I try to learn everything I possibly can about application and color scheme.

Since I have an olive complexion and green eyes, I tend to go for browns, greens and purples for eyeshadow. I also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a smoky eye. I recently have been using MAC Paint Pot in Painterly to apply all the way up to my brows before putting on shadow. This helps with creasing and works wonders.

I usually wear MAC false lashes when going out or to an event, but on regular days I use Better Than Sex mascara by Too Faced (get at Ulta or Sephora). I have always been a Chanel mascara gal but I really have liked the way this lengthens my lashes.

Speaking of Chanel...their long-wear lipstick is the BEST I have ever worn. I apply at 6:30 in the morning and after several cups of coffee and lunch, it still looks perfect. I like this particular brand b/c it also doesn't flake off.

I top off my finished product every day with Urban Decay All Nighter finishing spray. You guys, this stuff is magic and I'm not even kidding. Your make-up literally won't move and will look the same as it did when you first applied it. I never let myself run out of this.

I hope this gives you all a little help! Feel free to email any more make-up questions!

Start Your Morning Chic!

I literally need everything shown above to start my morning routine. The Rodan + Fields Redefine Line is a MUST. Now that I am getting older, it is SO important to keep my skin moisturized and wrinkle free! I have never used anything so powerful with such fast results. R + F Sunless Tanning Foam is also a streak free way to give my skin that summer, sun-kissed glow. I sometimes don't get enough sleep at night, so Bobbi Brown concealer kit is vital for under my eyes in the morning. It turns me into a different person in seconds.  I wear Bobbi Brown cream shadow in Goldstone every day morning or night. This stuff honestly doesn't crease or come off without makeup remover. It's gorgeous and I constantly get compliments on it's amazing shimmer.  Since I am big on enhancing my lashes, I use Chanel volume mascara and Laura Mercier lash curler religiously. These are both also found in my purse! And last but not least, I finish my mornings with 3 sprays of Urban Decay makeup setting spray to keep my face flawless and smudge free ALL day (and sometimes night).  These products are honestly my saving grace and I would not be the person many of you see every day with them.
