Before anything else, can I just say I’m a huge fan of Cosmo! I buy their issue almost every month (on months I don’t, I make sure to borrow from a friend). And this month’s issue is special as they unveil the best of the best beauty products! Consumerism can sometimes get the best of me… so yeah, check out what I’m currently lusting among the products they awarded the best!
Clockwise from top:
- Best Foundation - Lacome Mat Miracle Foundation (P2495) | It says this lightweight formula has great coverage and can last all day long!
- Best Primer - Shu Uemura POREraser UV Under Base Mousse (P2000) | I tried Benefit Porefessional Primer in the past and sad to say it didn’t work great on me so I hope this one would do.
- Best Eyelid Primer - Benefit Stay Don’t Stray (P1400) | Truth be told I recently broke my Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion so it needs replacement asap! This is probably my top priority in this list!
- Best Blush - Maybelline Blush Studio Blush ‘Em in Pop’ (P349) | I think I like the idea of having a little variation by including two shades in a palette. Besides my Nars and Benefit blushes are overly abused by me already!
- Best Bronzer - Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder in 04 Bronze (P1650) | I need more bronzers in my life, somebody please give meeeh.
- Best Highlighter - theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer (P895) | I swatched this at Beauty Bar before and it really has a nice color payoff!
- Best Undereye Concealer - Covergirl + Olay Concealer Balm (P475) | I’m not actually picky with concealers as long as they can hide my dark circles perfectly.
- Best Brow Definer - K-Palette Lasting 2Way Eyebrow Definer (P1050) | I need to retire my ELF eyebrow duo kit and so many people are raving about this. Hmm, let’s see.
- Best Pencil Eyeliner - K-Palette Real Lasting Eyepencil (P795) | Someone I personally know attests to this product! She has somehow perfected applying winged liner with this!
- Best Toner - Etude House Wonder Pore Freshener (P478) | Seven benefits in one bottle for only that price definitely sounds good to me!
- Best Acne Treatment - Mario Badescu Drying Lotion (P1095) | My two sisters are using this one and they say it’s really effective! I’ll review this one soon!
To see more of the products awarded the best by the Cosmo team, go buy yourself a copy of the August issue with KC Concepcion on the cover! So many good reads as well so it’s worth the buy!
And like a true Cosmo girl that I am, I’ll share this quotable quote I find quite fitting to end this post with.
