Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask:This mask is my all time holy grail product. I have never loved 1 specific product so much before. It is sensitive, versatile and effective. I personally have dry skin, so this is seriously my saving grace. How I use it:
All over my face everyday as a moisturizer
A thick layer at night for a hydrating sleeping mask
Under my eye for a day or night eye cream, applying with my ring fingers (they have the least amount of dexterity so they are the most gentle on the most sensitive part of your face)
Hand cream
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara:I have used this product on and off as I try new mascaras, but I find this one the most reliable. I love how intense and voluminous it is without looking spidery. I personally like bold lashes, so if you prefer a more natural mascara that makes you question if you’re even wearing mascara or not, this is not the product for you. I would suggest 1 layer of Benefit Bad Gal Bang mascara for a more natural look.
Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm:This is my newest must-have! I got a travel size and can’t wait to get the full size. This balm is so smooth, buttery and smells so good! I heard a trick from Lauryn Evarts from the Skinny Confidential to apply the cleansing balm to the face and neck and leave it on for a few minutes, like a mask. I totally agree with her and love doing this! It truly makes your makeup melt off, just like wipes do but without damaging your skin, like the wipes do.
Grande Lash Serum:I have been on the verge of getting eyelash extensions for about a year now. After using this product, I won’t! I was really deterred from getting eyelash extensions, because of all the maintenance and the expense. I recommend getting the travel size because it is 6 weeks worth, which is the perfect amount! I have gone through 2 rounds of the trial size. Before I got it, I was told “You HAVE to use it every.single.night for the 6 weeks, otherwise you will not see results. You also will not see results until about the last day, right before you give up!” I couldn’t agree more with both of these statements. After using the trial size for 6 weeks, I give myself a break and let me lashes enjoy the length and volume the serum gave them, then when I feel like they are noticeably smaller and more sparse again, I buy the trial size and do it all over again.
Tarte In Bloom Eyeshadow Palette:The best palette there ever was…This was my second palette I ever got and was the main reason I started to love makeup. I vividly remember the woman I walked up to one day in Sephora at the Maine Mall in 2016. I asked her what palette she recommended for my skin tone and eye color and if she could show me how to use it. She took about 30 minutes going through all the colors with me and teaching me some basic skills on how to do a smokey eye and where and when to use all the colors in the palette. I am forever grateful for all the effort she gave me and will always have this eyeshadow palette in my drawer!
