A couple of weeks ago, I shared my top five fall beauty favorites, and I really loved writing that post. Thankfully, it also seemed that a lot of you loved reading it. So, I thought it would be fun to create a little series where I share Five of my favorite things on Fridays. I know this probably won't happen every Friday but if I have something to share, it will be a great way to do it. Keeping up with the beauty favorites, I wanted to share my top five face products that I use practically every day.

Colorstay Whipped Foundation // Revlon

This stuff is my saving grace for my face. It is creamy and smooth but you can hardly see you have it on your face, besides how naturally awesome your face looks after using it. It literally stays all day. Even after 9 hour days at work (and the dreadful, let me hold my face up with my hand move, most of the day) I always look the same at 6PM as I did at 9AM and that is a big deal.

I will say, I have heard mixed reviews and have been told by a few people that it made them break out like crazy. BUT, I think it is worth a shot since it isn't expensive.

Falsies Mascara // Maybelline

After trying many different kinds of mascara I always go back to this one. I then usually want to kick myself from ever straying away because it is so awesome. It makes my lashes look super long, it doesn't flake, and it truly holds the curl all day. I can instantly tell a difference when I have this mascara on. Some people have even asked if I use false lashes when I am wearing it.
Guess it loves up to it's name!

Stay Matte Pressed Powder // Rimmel

I use the transparent version of this powder and it does exactly what it says... you stay matte all day! I dust this all over my face after my foundation and concealer before applying the rest of my makeup and then I touch my t-zone with a little extra once I'm finished with my face. I really keeps everything in place without looking like a thick powder. Love the transparent formula for this product!

Brow Tint Pen // Milani

This magic pen has changed my life. Seriously... I used to HATE doing my eyebrows but this makes that task so easy, and dare I say, fun! I keep the pen in a jar with all of my brushes with the tip pointed down so it hasn't dried out once. I've been using the pen for several months and it hasn't even started to dry out. That is a steal for something that is less than $10!

I also use the pen for a super thin liner really close to my lashes to make them look more full if I'm going for a natural, weekend makeup look.

Colour Crush Eye Shadow // The Body Shop

And for my last item, the only thing that I use almost every day that is not a drugstore brand.

I love The Body Shop makeup products just as much as their skincare/bath & body products because they are such great quality for a great price. All of the Colour Crush eye shadows are awesome but my favorite is the Champagne and Gold shade. It gives you just enough shimmer but no glitter that falls on your cheeks, which can be hard to find.

Also, if you have green eyes, I suggest trying the Grape Expectations. It instantly makes my green eyes pop and that's never a bad thing.

What are your favorite face products!?!

Five Favorites // Fall Beauty

Over the past couple of weeks with the cooler weather arriving, I've realized I have several items that I'm constantly reaching for. I thought today would be a great time to share my top five favorite items for this fall with all of you! 

Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream // The Body Shop

this stuff is magic. I actually forgot it at home while we were in Boston and I didn't realize

how big of a difference it made with my skin until I didn't have it.

After just a few days without this night cream, my skin started to feel tight (in all the wrong ways!)

and I started to break out like crazy. My skin was back to normal, creamy and smooth, after just a few days once we returned home and I was able to enjoy it again every night.

Smith's Minted Rose Lip Balm // Sephora

I've already shared some love about this lip balm on Instagram months ago but it's still my go to

when my lips feel dry. I love to generously cover my lips with this before I go to sleep at night and

when I wake up in the morning my lips still feel soft and buttery. Plus, it smells so good!

I'm going to grab this version next time I'm at Sephora for my purse since the tin isn't purse friendly.

I found out the hard way when I threw it in my bag one day and had a big mess when I tried to open the top and all of the balm had slid to one side and covered the lid.

Wild Argan Oil Body Butter // The Body Shop

One more Body Shop love of mine that I use all the time. I love all of their body butters because they are so, well... buttery and perfect, but this scent is my favorite.

I also love to put a thick coating on my feet when I get home from work and then put on some thick socks. It's like a perfect little treat after wearing high heels all day long. I know once the winter months hit, I will be using this on my hands daily!

Colorstay Gel Envy // Revlon

This nail polish is the one brand that I am constantly reaching for. My nails last a full week anytime I use this brand. When I use others (even essie) I have chips within days. And the best part, I don't actually NEED a top coat with this formula, but when I do add a top coat, I know that it will last even longer! Plus, the colors they have available are so beautiful. The Checkmate color is on my fingers right now and I'm loving it!

Ocean Salt // LUSH

We actually purchased this awesome product while we were on our honeymoon in California over a year ago. I did a little (okay, a BIG) happy dance when we came up to the LUSH store in Carmel, since I had never been shopping there but always dreamed of going. 

I bought some hair products and Peter bought this. I honestly didn't use it until just a few months ago and I instantly fell in love. The way this scrub can deep clean your face is amazing. 

It starts off feeling super scrubby, but not rough at all, then you have that squeaky clean feeling and once you start rinsing it off your skin instantly has this super milky, creamy feeling. Anytime I start to feel a breakout I instantly use this stuff and the problem area is gone by morning. I will definitely be ordering a replacement online when we run out!
