What are your must have beauty products?

[mrsjason]

I would love to hear what other people swear by!  I am always interested in trying new products!

Right now my favorite products are....

1. Rodan + Fields Reverse Skin care line. It's a little pricey, and I can't use it right now since I am pregnant but it did WONDERS getting rid of the sun spots on my face. Dark spots are starting to reappear since I am pregnant but I intend on using it again once I am done being pregnant. Right now I am using R+F Anti Age skin care line and while it's great, I can't rave about it like their Reverse line. But I will say since using their products my skin is brighter, more clear and generally softer.

2. Make Up Forever Mat Velvet Finish Foundation. It's great for my large pores and oily skin. I feel like I have tired every foundation under the sun and this is by far the best. Long lasting for sure, which is something I desperately need. Plus it dones't break me out

3. BeautyBlender sponge. Can only be bought online from Sephora but it is amazing for applying liquid foundation. It's a little pricey but it really does what it promises - it gives an airbrush look with liquid foundation. If you do buy watch a youtube video on how to use it.

4. Hazelnut Sugar Scrub from Walmart. This stuff is great. Plus it's only $5. I have been eying the sugar scrub from Sephora for years but I could never spend $60 on it. Then I found this stuff at Walmart and it leaves my legs super silky and soft after a shower.

I can't think of any others right now but if I do I will be sure to post

I don't really use much. That scrub from Walmart sounds nice because my legs get really dry and I'm too impatient to use lotion on my body. But I hate going to Walmart. The last time I went I was looking for a portable fan and spent too long and almost passed out in the aisle (first tri). I finally ended up buying 2 Mother's Day cards. Walking through the ghetto parking lot dodging hoopties blaring Spanish music and carrying Amelia on one arm and the bag in another hand the bag ripped open and the cards and envelopes are on the nasty ground. Seriously, the bags can't even hold 2 greeting cards? I just hate it there.
I am addicted to Smashbox concealer for my T Zone area. And Cover Girl shimmering sands eyeshadow trio. I haven't found an eyeliner that I love in 37 years but I use Estée Lauder or Lanacome because my MIL gives me her free gifts. Oh and I don't even use a moisturizer on my face! I really need to - its getting scary, but I just haven't found anything I love that isn't too expensive. I used to use Estée Lauder back when I didn't have a mortgage and husband.

Oh man, I can't live without moisturizer. I think it's more of a mental thing than anything else. I use moisturizer twice a day. I have no idea if it has made much of a difference wrinkle wise, but I'd like to think so, LOL.

I do like the Smashbox concealer, a little goes a long way, but I lately I went back to using the Bare Essentials Bisque to highlight under my eyes, the bridge of my nose and under my chin. I am now a big highlighter and contourer after I apply my makeup. I swear it gives a professional look to my makeup. I have pinned so many tutorials on pinterest on how to perfect the look

I do love the Smashbox BB cream. It's on sale at Ulta this week; I really should go pick some up.

Oooh! I love posts like this.

Yes, like MrsJason said, moisturizer is a must have! I use Clinique's (of course!) Super Defense SPF 25 & Super Rescue Antioxidant at night. When I am feeling extra dry, I apply Clinique's Moisture Surge overtop.

Another must have? Concealer! I use Dior's Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen. It's nice bc it has a little brush on the end to apply with and also does double duty as a highlighter. Doesn't get cakey and helps with my dark circles!

Sunscreen is huge since I'm so pale.

Clinique's Sparkle Skin for the body. It's a thick, body scrub with menthol in it so your skin feels soft and refreshed. I even use it to get a super close, soft shave with no ingrown hairs.

Paula Dorf makes an eyeliner called "Baby Eyes". It is a peach/flesh toned color liner that I use on the waterline of my eyes to not only reduce the natural red color I have but also to make my eyes appear larger. It is such a cool product!

I could go on and on but those are my main faves!

Hmmm, what to pick...

1. My all time suggestion to anyone is Urban Decay Primer Potion. Its the best stuff I've ever used for an eye primer.
2. Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation
3. Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush
4. Sephora Rouge Shine lipsticks

I'm sure I could go on for a while, but that's what I've got right now.

My new obsession is Supergoop CC cream. It is amazing
