Happy Sunday y’all! I had planned on sharing this yesterday, but I had left my laptop at home on Friday when I left to go spend the weekend downtown, so it had to wait to today. I’m really excited to start a weekend series where I share my favorite make up products. I’m such a make up junkie, and my friends gave me the idea of starting to dip more into make up and beauty posts, so here we go! Honestly I wear more make up than all of my friends combined, so I wanted to start by sharing some of my current favorite make up products that I use everyday.

1. Dior Flash Air Spray Foundation. This foundation is my ultimate favorite. I used to use the Temptu air brush system but broke it while traveling, so I found a great alternative in the Dior Flash. It gives a photo finish full coverage look and is so lightweight I can barely feel it. I only wear it when going out, because it is a little pricier than my other make up so I have a different foundation for going to class or just lounging.
2. Hourglass Liquid Powder. This is the foundation I use during the week and I swear it’s a blogger favorite. It has a matte look that still creates that photo finish look. My favorite part is that when you first apply it it turns into a powder after you blend it into your face. Usually for class I just use a beauty blender and blend it in and apply powder after, but this is highly recommended by me!
3. Mac Pro Longwear Concealer. This concealer is the all time best for covering up dark circles and contouring. I’ve been using it since my freshman year, usually shade NC30 and NC20. The best part is that it only needs a little bit to go a long way, and the small bottle lasts me months and I use it daily.
4. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. This is the ultimate primer when it comes to putting on eyeshadow. I always wear a smokey eye whether it’s a day time or night time look, and you know it’s good when you sleep with your make up on and it still looks flawless in the morning! This was in my stocking and I love it.
5. GloMinerals Powder. All of my powder is GloMinerals and I love that it’s lightweight with full coverage and mineral make up that doesn’t clog my pores. I get these from Oasis Salon and Medi Spa and use the shade Golden Medium for my basic daily layer.
6. Naked Smoky Eye Palette. I am such a smokey eye fanatic, and this palette is the perfect one for those who always do a smokey eye. I love the original and second Naked palette, but this one has such great glittery shadows that can be used for a day time smokey eye or night time.
7. Tartelette Palette. I got this one for Christmas and I just love the neutral colors in it. It has so many tan and brown shades that are perfect for going to class or just hanging out with friends when you want some make up on but not a ton.
8. Melted Lipstick. I have this lipstick in so many colors. It’s the perfect long wear lipstick that doesn’t dry out your lips too bad. You’re able to throw on chapstick or a gloss over it without smearing or messing it up. The nude colors are my favorite for spring.
9. Benefit They’re Real Mascara. This is the best mascara for lengthening lashes and making sure they aren’t clumpy. I’ve been using this for over five years and it lasts a long time without getting too dried out. I usually use it as my first and last coat to separate my lashes.
10. Diorshow Black Out. This is my one mascara I wouldn’t be able to live without. Not only does it lengthen lashes but it’s a super dark mascara, allowing your lashes to look close to false lashes. I usually use this one by itself when I just want my eyes to look brighter.
11. Diorshow Iconic. This mascara is great because it has a curved wand. It curls your lashes more than usual but it isn’t too heavy. I just got this in Mexico and I’m obsessed.
