Stila Convertible Eye Color

The handiest little thing in my purse!!

While I am usually a brush and palette kind of girl, I have to admit that this product is a staple in my makeup bag. Stila has done a great job of pairing the right shade of shimmery shadow with the the perfect smudgy pencil. All of the combos work well, in my opinion, but my fave is Stone, a browny plum automatic pencil with a cool taupe shadow. I can literally throw this combo on at anytime and dress up my eyes. The smudge applicator allows this to be worn very light and clean, or blended for a smoky look . Other really nice combos are teak (bronzes) and Ivy(dark green and gold) Super versatile!

Lancome Hypnose Mascara

The bomb!!

Very possibly the best mascara formula I've ever used.....it builds and lengthens in few strokes, curls, doesn't leave clumpy stubby ends, and lasts all day! It's a bit pricey for something that needs to be replaced so often, in my opinion, but i just love it so much that I'll have to bite the bullet! Also the curvy packaging is difficult to accommodate in my already packed makeup bag.

Becca Creme Blush

Perfect Texture, Perfect Colors

These blushes are notable for their standout texture. They go on silky but not powdery. The colors stay true after several hours on the skin, and give just the right amount of glow. I even dab a little of this on my lips sometimes for a matte stain. They come in sturdy packaging and are reasonably-priced, considering it lasts for so long. Highly recommended!!
