Current Makeup Bag Favorites

We all have favorite beauty products whether it's just for the moment or for the long term.  Below are some of my go-to favorite products that I have been reaching for everyday over the last couple of months:

Tarte Lifted Natural Eye Primer - I use this all the time! The consistency is similar to Urban Decay's Primer Potion but has the added bonus of firming and lifting ingredients. Once I put this under my shadow, they do not budge until I take it off. It's no longer sold on its own on Tarte's website but what's even better is that Tarte includes a deluxe sample size of this primer with a majority of the palettes they release.

Urban Decay Naked Palette - I've had this for almost a year and I still use at least one shade from the palette everyday. Great neutrals for everyday (and night!).

Tarte Smolder Eyes in Bronze - How much do I love this pencil? Let me count the ways! The bronze color is great for day or night. The pencil is a little on the bigger side but you can use this for liner or smudged on the lid for all-over color.

Maybelline Falsies Mascara in Very Black - I love how the unique spoon shaped bristles really help catch each and everyone of my lashes. It makes my lashes look thicker, fuller, and darker and in turn, making my eyes look bigger which is always a thumbs up! I love to emphasize my eyes so I brush on at least 2-3 coats of mascara.

NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder in Taupe/Ash - It comes with clear wax, two powder colors, a mini spooly and mini angled brush but I use the color only. I mix the two colors together to get a more customized color.
mark. Brow Factor Hook Up Clear Brow Gel - The finishing touch to my brows! It tames stray hairs and keeps them in line.
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural - Light coverage leaving my skin looking matte but in a natural way.



MAC Mineralize Blush in Warm Soul - The peachy color and gold flecked shimmer is a great compliment to my everyday neutral eyes and gives me a nice healthy glow.

Stila Long Wear Lip Color in Adorable - Creamy and doesn't dry lips. It leaves a nice sheen and stays on for about 3-4 hours for me. This color in particular is a nude peach color.

I am still trying to find the perfect foundation base, concealer, and moisturizer. My skin is super dry in the winter so if I don't exfoliate and moisturize properly, I get really flaky which we know does not look good under foundation. What are some of your favorite products?
