Joy's Top Ten Makeup Products
It's no secret that I have claimed to be a "makeup junkie". I will proudly admit to my addiction. No matter how many products fall into my makeup kit, there are my holy grail of products that this gal just can't live without! Here are the top 10 must-haves in my beauty stash (in no particular order):
1. Shu Uemura Eye Lash Curler: My lashes are stick straight. Shu Uemura lash curlers are known for fitting a wider eye and getting to all those hard-to-reach lashes. Can't live without this!
2. Lancome Oscillation PowerBooster: Anything that will help my lashes look better you'll surely find in my makeup bag. This vibrating mascara primer by Lancome primes my lashes well while making them feel and look fuller and longer. While the vibrating action adds some lift, I think enjoy the tickling sensation more than anything else.
3. CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara: I've tried a million mascaras, but CoverGirl's LashBlast is the one I always come back to. My lashes are always voluminous and full plus you just can't beat the price!
4. Anastasia Highlighting Brow Kit: Nothing says polished then well-groomed brows. I rarely leave the house without filling in my brows. This multi-use palette can be used as an eyeshadow as well - dab the shimmery shadow to the inner corners to brighten.
5. Benefit Erase Paste: Death circles be gone! This creamy concealer covers and brightens the under eye all in one. Can't leave the house without this on!
6. Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow: Day into night this cream shadow does not budge. I only have one shade in Galaxy but I am hooked!
7. Stila Smudge Pot in Bronze: This bronze gel liner/shadow from Stila is my go-to shade when I'm in a pinch. When I need a quick smokey eye, all I need to do is smudge this into my lash line and crease. Add a few coats of mascara and I'm done. The bronze shade compliments any blush or lip colour.
8. Benefit Hoola Bronzer: This matte bronzer in a box has been a staple in my kit for years. Love the natural faux tan effect plus the signature Benefit packaging is uber cute!
9. Smashbox HALO Perfecting Powder: Despite the high sticker price, I just can't deny the flawless radiant results I get everyday. I usually have flaky skin, but this powder really does hydrate!
10. Kiehl's Lip Balm #1: I've tried many a lip balms in my day, but I just love the rich coat of this balm. My lips are super dry and get very chapped so I don't mind the glossy rich texture. Love all the different flavours it comes in as well plus the added SPF is a bonus!
I would have listed my favourite lippies and blushes but that would require a separate top ten list! There are just too many I love!
