Yesterday I stopped by Sephora on my lunch break because I ran out of concealer, eyeliner and mascara earlier that morning. Makeup never seems to run out one thing at a time for me, but all at once when I need it most — which is extremely frustrating. At least I’m limiting my trips to the store because I can get carried away in there. It’s like a Target run. You go in for one thing and end up taking home aisle 7. Haha!!
So I decided to stock up on a few essentials that I use on a daily/weekly basis and rounded them up below. Everything is under $40 and absolutely necessary for me to do my makeup every morning.
Here is a quick recap:
•The Cleanse: Daily Brush Cleaner
I use this along with the Polish Up Silicone Brush Cleansing Pad (also linked above) on a weekly basis to keep my brushes in good condition.
•Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer
(I use 07 Custard) I love this concealer because it’s not cake-y and has great coverage. It’s affordable too!
•Jelly Makeup Sponge
I use this instead of a BeautyBlender. I’m not a fan of the BeautyBlender because they never actually get completely clean, and feel as if I’m using a dirty sponge on my face. This jelly version is so easy to clean, and you actually waste less because it doesn’t absorb the makeup like a sponge does.
•LashCraft Big Volume Mascara
This was a new purchase for me. I was on the hunt for a better mascara because I felt my previous one didn’t give me enough volume. I used it this morning and WOW…what a difference. So far so good!
•Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner
This is my absolute favorite liquid eyeliner! I’ve tried other ones and nothing even compares to this. I’ve gotten my winged eyeliner down to a science!
•Sephora Collection Glide Liner
(05 White Snow) People ask me all the time why I don’t use black eyeliner on my waterline. I decided to change to white a few years ago when I realized my eyes looked so small in photos. With the bold black wing on the top lid, I needed something to compensate on the bottom.
•BarePRO Performance Wear Liquid Foundation
(Cool Beige 10) This is my everyday foundation. It doesn’t make my skin oily mid-day and has enough coverage for a lighter formula.
Happy makeup shopping! I hope you guys enjoyed! 🙂
