Every girl has her list of must-haves. Those staple beauty products that once run out of, they must immediately be replaced. These aren’t products that you’ve just tried once and loved, these are things that are in it for the long haul. Here are a few of mine…
It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream
I’ve searched high and low for the foundation that best suits my skin and finally I’ve found it! For me, when I’m looking for a foundation I want something that is full coverage, but doesn’t feel like it is. This product is super lightweight, but covers everything that you need covered up. I have somewhat dry skin, and this is extremely hydrating and stays on all day long. I also love that it has SPF 50 because we all know how important it is to protect our faces from the sun every day! There aren’t a ton of colors to choose from, however I’ve noticed that this cream somehow magically conforms itself to the perfect pigment when I apply it. I use the “light” shade. You can also find this product in a travel size if you want to try it out, but don’t want to spend the money without knowing that you love it first.
It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Correcting Cream
No, I am not being sponsored by It Cosmetics (yet), they are just a brand that I love and have found work best for me. If you are someone who struggles a lot with redness like I do then this is the product for you! I apply this when I feel like I really need it to all of my problem areas right before I put my foundation on. On days that I don’t want to put much makeup on, but still want to cover up the splotchy red spots this is a lifesaver! If there is one product that I recommend you try out of this entire list, this would be the one!! I also just purchased the Bye Bye Redness moisturizing cream so I will let you know how that works out when I’ve used it for a bit longer.
Drybar Triple Sec Texturizing Spray
I would say about Ninety-five percent of the time that my hair is down, it is curled or in waves. This spray is great because it helps add texture (especially if your hair is super slick) without making it clumpy or hard. This can be used in combination with an actual hairspray, but most of the time I just use this on it’s own. I curl my entire head and then when I’m finished I’ll go through and spray a bit of this in sections. Another plus is that it smells great! I’m always getting compliments on how my hair smells when I’ve used it.
St. Tropez Classic Bronzing Mist
Just like finding the right foundation can be tricky, so can finding the perfect self tanner. I’ve tried so many products over the years, but this bronzing mist is what I find myself going back to every time. We all know that tanning beds are terrible for you and most of us cannot afford to be getting custom spray tans every week. Since I live in California, I try to keep somewhat of a sun kissed glow all year round because I never know when I’ll be wearing shorts and a tank top. This mist goes on evenly and doesn’t have a terrible smell that stays on your skin like most tanning products do. I just spray in small portions and then blend it out with a tanning mit. It’s really easy to apply more on top if you want a darker result. I also like that it shows up right away and then gradually gets a little bit darker as time passes. You can throw this on before you head out the door and you will notice a difference, but not look like a grease monster that just came out of a spray tan booth. There is a dark version of this that I haven’t tried because I’ve just found that the classic color works perfectly. There’s also a one hour version of this which I have tried. I liked that one as well, but didn’t see much of a difference in how noticeable it was right away. I also found that it doesn’t last as long as this one does.
BVLGARI Omnia Crystalline Perfume
Does anyone else feel like you’re constantly trying new perfumes to find your signature scent that can be worn year-round? I finally found one that I keep wearing time and time again without getting sick of it. This perfume is just the perfect combination of floral and fresh smelling! It’s very subtle, but stands out enough that I’m constantly being asked what it is. I don’t wear perfume every day, so the travel size lasts quite a while for me. It also has a spray top, which seems to be very rare with small perfume bottles.
