Make-Up and Hair
Literally the best-- wore all day for my wedding and reception with two coats. It did not BUDGE in full humidity, right on the ocean!
maneater™ voluptuous mascara
This blush was perfect. I did my makeup on my own, and I'm not an expert by any means. This blush was so easily adaptable, buildable, and stayed ALL-FREAKING-DAY.
Putty Blush
This lipstick was so creamy and took HOURS of eating and drinking and sweating to start to fade. Also, the cap and tube is magnetic which makes it both so secure and easy to close, and fun to fidget with for pre-ceremony jitters.
Lipstick | Liquid, Satin and Matte Lipstick
I wanted my makeup to feel light and airy while giving me maximum coverage, and this foundation did the trick! It was so easily buildable and did not crack once! It covered a stubborn zit that showed up the morning of (of course) and was not tacky, s...
Affordable Foundations | Sephora Collection
Two applications of this made my makeup stick like dried paint to a wall- it did not budge. I felt like I could have stuck a sheet of paper to my face and it would have stuck as well, lol!
Power Grip Primer
This concealer has been my long time favorite for years! There are cheaper options, but under eye coverage is just something you do NOT want to mess with, and this is totally worth the price.
Under Eye Concealer Makeup
I have fine, thin hair, so I've never had bobby-pins that didn't show through until these! I did much of my own hair, but my friend was able to do a cute, braided headband and secured it with these bobby pins, and not only were they invisible, but th...
Scunci Elevated Basics Mini Bobby Pins, 36pc
This dry shampoo practically ate any grease/oil in my hair. I've never had a better dry shampoo, and as someone who can barely go a few hours without washing her hair, I've tried so many products.
DROP DEAD GORGEOUS DRY SHAMPOO - MEDIUM TO DARK
This eye liner was so good because of the different ways to use it! Having two different application types were so good because I'm not great with eye liner, and I found it so easy to use!
Eyeliner - Liquid, Gel & Pencil Liners
De-Stressors
I love card games and there's so much activity but it's a lot of “hurry up and wait." Through the more stressful down times, my sister-in-law and I played some card games and it really helped me to center again and focus on what I needed to!
Deck of Cards
Okay, so if you drink, mimosas are NECESSARY. You won't get tipsy, but it is enough to take the edge off your nerves, to loosen you up a bit, and get the party vibes started! And if you want a simple clean up after, use the disposable cups!
Mimosa Glasses
Whenever I'm home, I'm in a sweatshirt and slippers and a sweatshirt, so I really didn't want my wedding day to be any different! I was so desperate to be comfortable, and slippers were so important to helping me both feel like myself, and be so comf...

Et Cetera
Obsessed with this bag! It was huge, and fit everything that I needed it to, between shoes, accessories, makeup, hair accessories, and even a small vase that was left behind!
Women's Handbags, Totes & Backpacks
This stain remover is the BEST. You can see it work before your eyes and it does not have a lingering scent like others. I got married at the house of a family friend and we got some makeup on their white duvet. We sprayed this on it, scrubbed it wit...
