Daily Face Products


Everyday I try to venture out a bit with my makeup by wearing a different foundation, eyeshadow and lipstick. Although the look may not be extremely, noticeably different I like knowing my makeup is being put to use. Nonetheless there are a few products I use on a daily basis. 



BeneFit Stay Don't Stray- I always begin a look by applying Benefit Stay Don't Stray primer all over the eyelids and brow bone. This primer helps eyeshadows last longer throughout the day and gives the lid a brightening palette effect. 

Bobbi Brown Corrector- The corrector helps neutralize under-eye circles, making eyes look healthier and brighter. The creamy formula glides effortlessly, by using patting motions with the ring finger. 

Laura Mercier Secret Concealer- After the corrector I use the secret concealer to brighten under eye circles. This concealer is highly pigmented so a little goes a long way. Using a soft brush helps give an airbrush finish.

Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage- This concealer is a high coverage concealer, which is why it is meant to be used to conceal blemishes, scars or any discolorations on the face. The compact includes two shades that can be blended to create the perfect shade. I use this concealer when I have a lot of redness on my cheeks, a blemish or sometimes to conceal the discoloration around my mouth. (The light shade is also great for highlighting the brow bone, around the eyes and the cupids bow)

Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder- I love this powder! I know my concealer will not crease because this powder sets it in place and brightens the eyes in a subtle way. The powder contains micronized pigments giving the eyes a brightening effect with an weightless feel. 

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder- And after my foundation has been applied my finishing touch is with this Traslucent powder. A loose setting powder that is universal gives a satiny finish, setting foundation for a long lasting wear and giving a "soft-focus" appearance. 

What are your daily face products? Do we share any of these?

Update and New Favorite Brow Product!

Hello everyone! I apologize for my long absence on this blog. I missed blogging and with so many new products I have been loving I thought it was perfect timing to get back on track.

One of my new favorite products is Anastasia Brow Wiz. Anastasia is known for being the brow expert, so when I heard about her Brow Wiz I knew I was not going to end disappointed. This mechanical pencil does not require any sharpening and gives precise application, creating perfect strokes on the brows. I picked up shade Caramel, which is about 2 shades darker than my natural hair color. Since I want a natural brow, a pencil that is two shades darker will only fill in the brows, blending in with my natural color. On one end of the Brow Wiz is the brow pencil and on the other end is a spooley brush. This pencil helps give brows more fullness and definition, framing the face.

Anastasia Brow Wiz: Available at Sephora and Ulta & retails for $20.00/ 0.08 g
