{Beauty Favorites}

I know I haven't blogged in a couple of weeks since we've been busy with baby showers and getting ready for baby N's arrival but I really wanted to share some of my recent purchases that have become some of my favorites!



Garnier BB Cream for Combination to Oily Skin:   I've always been a powder foundation girl and I've never worn a liquid foundation.  I would say my skin is combination to oily and more on the sensitive side.  I've tried several BB Creams since the BB Cream craze started and they either broke me out or were too heavy.  This product is the perfect amount of coverage, very light on the skin, easy to blend, and more importantly doesn't break me out!  I use this daily as my moisturizer and foundation and I buff it in with the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. It also has SPF 20 which is a plus since protecting my skin from the sun is a priority.  Since it's also moisturizing its easy to build up on certain spots or blemishes without looking cakey.

Maybelline Falsies Big Eyes Mascara:  When Maybelline first came out with the Falsies Mascara I was a huge fan because it gave my lashes both length and volume!  The Falsies Big Eyes also gives length & volume but more importantly it has two wands, one for the top lashes which tapers at the end to get into those small corners and another for your bottom lashes that is super tiny which makes it easy to cover each bottom lash to give the "Big Eyes" effect.

Loreal Total Repair 5 Shampoo:  I bought this shampoo after reading reviews online and I have been loving it & the smell is amazing!  It's supposed to "instantly and over time repair the five visible signs of damaged hair - split ends, weakness, roughness, dullness, and dehydration - without weighing hair down."  I believe every word!  The first time I used this my hair felt so much healthier, was shinier, and felt so light!  I've used it for about two weeks and I can definitely say my hair feels stronger and this is with just using the shampoo, I will be purchasing the conditioner very soon!

Have you tried any of these products or do you have any favorite beauty products that you are loving right now?!
