Favorite Every Day Make Up Products

Let’s be honest, I’m not a beauty blogger by any means. BUT I thought it would switch things up today and share my favorite every day make up products. I’ve learned a thing or two over the years about products I like and wear daily and swear by. For example, I’ve worn the same mascara for 7 years. Plus I’m sharing a few of the ones I am currently using but switch up from time to time.

I’m a pretty simple gal when it comes to my makeup routine, I have a day look and a heavier make up look but I only have one simple make-up bag for all of it.

What’s In My Makeup Bag

Favorite Every Day Makeup Products

IT Cosmetics CC+ cream SPF 50 – I’ve used this foundation for about a year and LOVE it. It’s a full coverage foundation and SPF is a must!

Better Than Sex Mascara – Ok. I SWEAR by this mascara. I have used it since it released in 2013 and I don’t think I will ever change. I have changed many different ones over the years and NOTHING compares. I will caution, I don’t like the water proof version. But I’ve tried the Damn Girl! and I feel like it’s really similar.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer – This is one of my fav bronzers! I am not currently using it, but it’s been a go-to for many years.

Too Faced Chocolate Bronzer – Ok, this actually smells like chocolate! This has been my current bronzer for about a year. It lasts A LONG time! I like the matte finish so it doesn’t give too much sparkle on your face. It’s a nice natural look.

Lancome Brow Shaping Powdery Pencil – I’m really liking this pencil. It’s my first time using it and it’s actually lasted me almost an entire year and I wear it daily!

Ardell Magnetic Lashes – I don’t wear false eye lashes daily, only the mascara listed above. But when we go out for date night for special occasions and I want a heavier make-up look I like these. And the ones below…

Ardell Natural False Eye Lashes – I actually think I prefer these false eye lashes over the magnetic ones. They feel more natural looking to me. They stay on great and I can often get multiple uses out of a pair.

Revlon Liquid Sharp Eyeliner – I go back and forth between a pencil and liquid eyeliner. I’ve been using the liquid more often, I like the more solid sleek line. Makes for a more dramatic eye. This one lasts a while and goes on really smooth. Super reasonable!

Beauty Blender Sponges – These knock-off ones on Amazon are great! I use them with my fuller coverage foundation and they work great. Helps keep the oils from your hands getting on our face.

Facial Hair Remover – I was so nervous to use these for the first time but I have really started to love them! It’s a great way to remove dead skin from your face and also remove those peace fuzz hairs.

Too Faced Natural Eyes Eyeshadow Palette– I have always been a neutral eye girl, I like the bronze, golds and brown colors. This has been a great palette. It has a great mixture of shadows. It’s lasted me a long time!

Inglot Blush Powder – This my current blush. I like to mix it with my bronzer when I apply it to tone it down a bit.

Maybelline 24 Hour Color Stay – I have worn this for years and SWEAR by it! I’m all about color stay lips because I don’t have time to keep reapplying it, plus I don’t like it rubbing off when I give kisses. I wear Unlimited Raison for my every day look, it’s way more of a brown/neutral than it appears online. I’ve tried tons of their colors over the years and have quite a few.

Maybelline Super Stay Matte Lips – I love a good matte lip, I have this in a few colors but I like the Escapist for a bold night look or when I do photoshoots. It’s dark but a really pretty earth tone color.

My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, i My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, inviting and extra cozy. It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space. 

Comment SHOP for everything I added in here!

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!
