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.

Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!

Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! W Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
