My Sephora WINS
11
items There are a gazillion things on Sephora, these are just my personal faves. I own everything I recommend :) Here's to quality beauty that enhances our already beautiful self!
Kat Von D makeup is EVERYTHING. I don't wear makeup everyday, but when I put on a “full face” (or even a partial face-HA), I want it to be flawless. I use this set for powder and contour, so I feel like it is totally worth the price. No cakey-ness, just goes on smooth and looks stunning. Plus, you can use for light or heavy coverage - just adjust the amount you apply. 10/10.
Shade + Light Refillable Powder Face Contour Palette
I can't do the felt or pen eyeliners. I much prefer the crayon (so much more comfortable on your waterline too). This one stays put without looking like you used a splotchy crayon. I have a few of these (one in my travel kit, one in my purse, and one in my makeup bag in my bathroom at home).
Tattoo Pencil Liner Waterproof Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner
YOOOOO! THIS! I have tried soooo many setting sprays. This one is THE ONE. I use to use Mac and it was ok - I still got makeup on my husband's collar, so ugh. This stuff will have your makeup on your face and not on anyone's clothes. When they say All Nighter, they should also add All Dayer! 100/10
All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray
I use this pretty much only to contour my nose. I would recommend going a shade darker than you usually would. This goes on satin smooth and doesn't leave you with any hard lines. It is blendable without just disappearing and causing you to lose the contour. Yeah, a little pricey. But, I tried so many others that either caked up and I looked like a circus clown OR when I blended it just faded away like it was never applied. 10/10!
Forever 24H Skin Contour Stick Sculpting and Bronzing Face Stick
THIS STUFF LASTS! I have tried so many lip stains that you leave on, wash off, and they stain for around an hour or two. This stuff I apply like lipstick or gloss. It is smooth and velvety, not sticky or tacky. It friggin stays put! I do tend to lick my lips a bit, so I keep a Dior gloss in my bag that I can use to freshen the shine. This is worth the price and the hype!
*one other thing to note is that when it fades the next day, it fades evenly. You don't have patches that are still super pigmented and some that have no color. I don't know how they do it, but they do and I am here for it!

The Inks Vinyl Cream High Shine Lip Stain
Put down the powder blush! I found that I looked like my grandma every time I used powder blush. I tried few blush creme sticks and they were cakey (that seems to be the theme with the cheap ones). I had never heard of Mario brand, but tried it and wow. Dew kissed, rosy cheeks that are subtle and lend to my contour without overtaking my face. Smooth and light as it goes on, so no caking! 10/10!
Soft Pop Cream Blush Stick
Look, I don't always want to do my hair. Some days I don't wash it because who wants to wash their hair everyday?? Well, not me. Anyway, I don't want to style it but I don't want to look unkempt. This stuff gives my hair a little umph so I don't look homeless. Bonus! It has a slight scent that makes my hair smell fresh!
This is a Dry Texturizing Finishing Spray
Yes, I get my lips done - so, yes I spend a little extra on their upkeep. I have tried the other lip scrubs and nothing compares to this! Not oily and greasy with some granulated sugar mixed in. Whatever their secret is, it is AMAZING. Sloth away any dead skin and moisturize your lips like never before. I can't live without this stuff!
The Lip Polish
We already have our creams, eye serums, etc. These are a must have you didn't know you needed. I always plop on my eye cream and go to bed. Creme is wiped off by my pillow, blanket, or my head on my husband's shoulder. You slap these on and that is no longer a prob and your expensive creme is set to do what you need it to!
Forever Eye Mask Reusable 100% Silicone Patches
I have the travel kit and I have the full size bum cream. The bum cream is the jam!!! I am not going to tell you this will replace squats, but it does make a difference! Not only will your bum be super soft, but you will see your skin tighten up a bit. The creases in the bottom part of my bum and the few dimples started to go away aft...
Brazilian Bum Bum Jet Set
I have already admitted that I get my lips done, so I protect them! This balm is SPF25 and I use it daily. The mint is a calming mint and the original is for those days when you are feeling indifferent and just slap something good on. This one is better than any Carmex or Eos!!!!
