Before and After : My mom

My mom has MS and has had it for years, she fell asleep probably 15 times during the 40 min I did her makeup. I took the before picture after I had already started highlighting her face with foundation hence the light spot on her forehead haha. I used RCMA foundation, ben nye banana powder, a darker shade of powder foundation for setting her contour, nars dolce vita blush, mac dip down gel liner and elf brow powder on her brows, I used a brownish lip liner and mixed 3 dif lipsticks to get the color it is,  I just smoked her eyes out some with black track gel liner and a brown makeup forever shadow. Lorac bronze shadow from the pro palette on her inner corners.

My Current Fave Beauty Products

I have a for sure love for beauty products. I am always browsing through sephora, makeup counters, and drug stores. Even if I've seen it all a million times before I never get tired of seeing it all. Lately these are the items that I have been grabbing the most.

In no particular order:

Josie Maran Argan Oil

Elf eyebrow powder

Nars Danmari Palette

Nars Casino Bronzer

Urban Decay Naked Palette

Urban Decay Smoked Palette

Urban Decay All Nighter Spray

MAC Pro Longwear Foundation NC 42

Benefit Erase Paste Med 2

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer

Loreal Lineur Intense liquid liner

London Soho beauty sponge which is amazing and only 8 as compared to the beauty blender

Makeup Forever Hd Concealer

Makeup Forever lip liner that I use as an all over over color and its amazing a little drying but stays all day. 

MAC paint pot in painterly 

Buxom Mascara which is pretty awesome

Philosophy lotions in  mangos and cream and cabana girl. 

As for the lotions I am in awe... I had never used philosophy lotions till these really and they are so moisturizing. I started using the cabana girl when I was about 8 months pregnant and my skin felt so soft and moisturized even the next morning. The smell is good and not too strong but just enough and they have pretty good ingredients. I didnt see any mineral oils in them. Which for me is a big plus.

Ive been using all of these things for a little while now and Ive actually used them more than I have just about anything else Ive bought. I usually use something a couple times and Im over it, but these have been my go to products regularly now. I def think they are all worth checking out.
