My Top 10 Beauty Must Haves

I am obsessed with makeup, hair products, and things to make me smell good. Here are my top 10 MUST haves!

The Neutrogena Wave (Approx. $15)

I love how clean my face feels after I use it! I feel like it has helped keep my face clear, too.

Urban Decay Primer Potion - Pore Perfecting ($30)

This is one of those things that until I started using it I didn't feel it was a necessity. (I had my mascara and lip gloss, that's all I needed right?) Now that I have it, I can't put makeup on without it. It basically vacuums up my pores making them nearly microscopic. My skin feels smooth and velvety, and it hasn't caused me to break out. It's a necessity now!


Sephora Eye Shadow ($12)

I looked and looked for a great eyeshadow that had glitter in it. I wanted that extra sparkle but I couldn't find it in drugstore brands. Then I found these. They're very pigmented, easy to blend (Seriously, so easy, I've found others where that's not the case *coughCovergirl*) and they last.

Sally Hansen Salon Effects for nails ($8-$9)

I love doing my nails, but sometimes I wish they looked better than like an at-home manicure. I found these and fell in love. They're quick, look good finished, and they have awesome patterns and colors!!! I can't stop looking at my nails!

Mac Eyeshadow - Tempting ($15)

In high school I found this eyeshadow and instantly my sister and I fell in love. It's my favorite color I've ever owned. The shadow itself is awesome, no complaints from me, and the color makes my eyes pop!!! It lasts forever, too. I use it on a very regular basis and it's lasted me over 8 months (and I don't see the bottom of the jar!).

John Frieda Shampoo and Conditioner - Root Awakening (Approx. $5)

This shampoo is wonderful without having to pay a whole lot. It tingles a little bit in the shower (which I think has helped my hair grow faster). My hair is easy to style and has volume, AND feels soooo completely soft!
Exfolikate by Kate Sommerville ($85)

Yes, you read that price right. The do have smaller bottles as well that are only about $20, too. When I use this exfoliating face wash (only about twice a week so it does last a while) I cannot believe how smooth my face feels and how fast any blemishes clear up. I had to go through a couple of samples (They do that at Sephora -just ask!!!) to convince myself that I needed to pay that much, but to me it was so worth it after I saw how great my skin looked!
Maybelline Falsies Mascara (Not sure on price... about $8 I think)

I rarely buy the same kind of mascara twice because I'm always looking for the next best thing. But this is one that I do keep going back for. It makes my lashes look long and full, and it stays in place pretty well (no black flecks on my cheeks etc).
Clinique Chubby Stick Lip Color ($15)

I have just recently found a love affair with this. I have always wanted to go the "lipstick" route, but every single time I try one I think I look weird and wipe it right back off. This adds just enough color for me, and has a great matte look to it. I LOVE it right now!
Bath and Body Works Body Wash ($10.50 I think? I usually get them on sale, like their buy 3 get 2 free etc.)

This is the BEST body wash. I've tried others and this lathers the best, smells the best, and leaves me feeling the cleanest. When I would use others I felt dirty already after a couple hours but this body wash does it's job well! Best smells? Black Raspberry Vanilla, Twilight Woods, and Sweet Pea (in that order!).

I hope you'll try something off this list and love it as much as I do. I pray I never get in that situation where "you're stuck on an island, what's the one thing you have with you?", because I must have these 10 things!

Somewhere I'd Like to Travel

Greece, for sure. Before I mentioned Italy and that is at the top of the list, too!

My Biggest Insecurity

(You'll also notice that I skipped yesterday, sorry, I couldn't find a picture of me when I was little and I looked so hard!)

Something That Has Made a Huge Impact on My Life Lately

No words need be said.

Someone Who Inspires Me

Lauren from Busy Bee Lauren was my inspiration to start a blog, and since then she continues to make me want to be more "Awesome-spice". She's extremely talented- she takes awesome pictures, and makes way cute accessories. She is hilarious, seriously. She has the cutest sense of style, she is beautiful and she is always positive and nice!
