MAKE UP FOR EVER
I’m not a big glitter girl. Don’t get me wrong, I love a little sparkle, but glitter on the face just isn’t very sophisticated. I was given a precious pot of MAKE UP FOR EVER’s Diamond Powder and I can hardly explain the glamorous perfection of this transforming powder. It is super fine and can be added to eye shadows, blushes and lips to create a dynamic sparkle that is subtle yet striking. The TINY pots are $24 bucks, but you only need a dab to make an impact and hands down, it’s worth every cent! It comes in 12 shades, but I love the white mauve with opal shimmer.

Lip Inflation Extreme
Lip Inflation Extreme by Sally Hansen is a tingly treatment that boosts fullness and shine with a Hydro-Collagen Complex. I use this treatment at night and have notice a difference, especially in my upper lip, after a couple of weeks of dedicated use. I first tried the Lipfusion ($50) a tube, and have found that the Lip Inflation offers the same results for about $8 bucks… worth every cent!
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion
You may have read a few rave reviews about the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion and not wanted to plop down the $17 to see if all the hype was justified; but I am here to tell you, this stuff works! The combination of Calamine Lotion and Salicylic Acid clears up a pimple in no time! Make sure to follow the directions, you don’t want to shake the bottle, and you will need to apply with a Q-Tip for a zit-free mug come morning!

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat has been rated the best top coat by every beauty survey there is… and I personally don’t get my nails done without it. Seche Vite offers a shiny, hard finish and dries in seconds flat. A bottle costs twice as much as other top coats, but you will find that your mani’s last twice as long… so it’s worth every cent!
