Things That Make Me Feel Pretty
Today I will be sharing with you some of my favorite beauty products that I use every day. Most of these are drugstore products or things I picked up from Sephora so they shouldn’t be too pricey or too hard to find.
Tarte – Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara
I think that everyone should try this at least once in their lives, even if you already like the mascara you’re using now I would still recommend this highly above any other mascara I’ve tried. I’m also a big fan of Maybelline’s Falsies Mascara and never thought I could love a mascara like that one, but then I found this mascara by Tarte and was obsessed. What I love about Lights, Camera, Lashes is that it gives amazing length and darkness to the lashes and the wand is pretty small and doesn’t have any strange curves that could potentially poke you in the eye. I feel like I’m wearing fake lashes when I use this mascara but my eyes feel ten times more comfortable than if I were actually wearing false lashes.
Estee Lauder – Bronze Goddess Bronzer
So far, this is my favorite bronzer that I’ve tried. I find that a lot of bronzers leave you with more of an orange-y look than a sun kissed look, but Bronze Goddess gives the perfect amount of color to your face. I like to use this for contouring my cheek bones, my temples, my chin, and sometimes the sides of my nose. It looks kind of sparkly when you open it, but it looks completely matte when it is on your skin. The color I use is 01 LIGHT.
Anastasia Brow Powder Duo- For years I’ve heard people praising Anastasia brow products but I’ve never tried it myself until a few months ago and now I understand what everyone is talking about.It gives the perfect natural brow look.With lots of eyebrow pencils and creamy types of pencils you end up getting a more fake, drawn on look.I prefer my brows to be strong but natural at the same time and this brow powder duo helps me achieve that perfectly.On one side there is a lighter shade and a darker shade on the other side.I use the darker shade on the arch of my brow and then begin to use the lighter shade at the front of my brows and blend them together. I use the color SOFT BROWN.
Kat Von D Liquid Tattoo Liner- I really love this eyeliner because since it has a felt tip, it’s very easy to control and get the perfect line and/or cat eye that you want.I always make a perfect cat eye with this eyeliner.A lot of liquid eyeliners are kind of goopy and messy but this one is very clean and super simple to use. I get the color TROOPER.
Clinique Soft-Pressed Powder Blusher in New Clover- I’ve been using this blush for almost 6 years now and it’s my favorite.It goes on very well and it also comes with a cute little brush.The shade of pink complements my skin tone perfectly and compared to other blushers, this brand isn’t too expensive.
i.d. Bare Escentuals Angle Brow Brush- I love using this brush with my Anastasia brow duo.I purchased this brush at Sephora and it was a bit more expensive than what I would usually spend but it was totally worth it.
Clinique Advanced Concealer – This is the best concealer I’ve ever tried and I have tried many, many concealers.I bought this when I had really bad breakouts and it covered every pimple so well to the point where you could literally barely see it.It gives great coverage and stays on throughout the whole day.It also works great as an under eye concealer. I use the color 01 Matte Light.
Cover Girl Tru Blend Pressed Powder in Translucent Light- I’ve been using this compact powder for a very long time and it has always worked great for me.I put it over my concealer to seal it in and make sure everything stays on all day.I also add a bit under my eyes to set the concealer that I have put there.It’s nice and compact and you can just stick it in your makeup bag and take it with you and it’s only $10.00 where I get it at Walgreens. I also love that it’s matte and translucent because you still get coverage without that extra added color which sometimes makes your face makeup look cakey.
Thank you for reading and I hope you decide to try some of these products maybe?! Especially Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte. Check back later in the week on Feathers & Chains for more fashion, beauty, and music news.
