Hello, my dear friends!

I’m absolutely loving being Miss October- I have made so many new friends, and if you haven’t introduced yourself yet, I would love for you to stop by my blog and say hi! 🙂

Now on to fun things! I do not by any means consider myself an expert when it comes to makeup. But I will say that I have tried a ton of products, and I have figured out what my favorites are. And I figured I would share my little secrets!

FACE:

MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation. This stuff is absolutely AMAZING. It has fabulous coverage, it’s gel based, and it has SPF 15. If you try it, you will love it. I promise.

This concealer is pretty awesome. Benefit’s Erase Paste blends beautifully, and it covers dark circles really well.

Laura Mercier’s Loose Setting Powder is lightweight, it eliminates shine, and it gives you a stunning, silky smooth finish on your skin.

I am absolutely OBSESSED with Nars’ Blush and Bronzer Trio. They combined their three best selling blush, bronzer, and highlighter colors, and I couldn’t be more pleased with it! Also, I’ve used it almost every day for over a year, and I STILL have plenty of color left! So you definitely get your money’s worth.

EYES

Everybody rants about Urban Decay’s Naked2 eyeshadow palette. And they have every reason to. They have the most amazing colors, and work with any skin tone.

Yay for a drugstore find! I am in love with Maybelline’s Eye Studio Lasting Drama gel eyeliner. It seriously lasts ALL day, and it’s inexpensive. I’m always down for that.

They’re Real! Mascara by Benefit is seriously amazing. Just google before and after shots with the mascara, and you’ll be blown away.

LIPS

I absolutely love this Rose Salve… You can get it at Bath and Body Works, and your lips stay soft for EVER.

Sephora’s Always Red Lip Stain. If you like my lip color in my profile, then you’ll like this. And it seriously lasts all day.
I hope you try some of these products! Have any suggestions for different make up products that you adore? Email me! leslynslovelylife@gmail.com
