My original plan was to post a nice slideshow of these products, but that proved to be cumbersome and didn't even work. After opting to not toss my computer into the back yard, I created a collage. Anywho, these are the products in my collection that I think are worth digging into your wallet for.
1.) Lush's Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub. This is the next best thing to being at the beach. It smells very fresh with it's vodka soaked limes, ocean salt and avocado oil. This sloughs off dead skin better than any other scrub I have tried and makes my skin feel baby soft. It does tingle a little, so don't be alarmed by that. Depending on the size you get, it will be $22-$36.
2.) Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara. I would love this mascara in the original packaging, but the Albar Elbaz design just makes it special. It gives nice length and volume to my lashes without clumping.
3.) BECCA Eye Priming Perfector. The wand applicator helped move this product to a favorite. It keeps my eyeshadow crease and fade free. $24, Sephora
4.) NARS Copacabana Illuminator. Want and ethereal glow? Look no further than this product. All you need is a little dab on your cheek bones and you are good to go. Its $30 tag is steep, but one bottle will last and last.
5.) Pixi Eye Glow Cube is wonderful! It has 16 beautiful shimmery neutrals and two primers. You can do a number of looks with this palette. Stay tuned for my review and swatches.
6.) Marc Jacobs Style Eye-Con No. 7 Palette in The Starlet. Smooth, easy to blend, lasts all day, wearable, pigmented...basically everything you could need in an eyeshadow palette. $59. Sephora beginning August 9th.
7.) Lush Ro's Argan Oil Body Conditioner. The best moisturizer of all time! It is the epitome of luxury and smells divine. It is well worth the $33 price tag.
8.) Hourglass Lip Treatment Oil is the creme de la creme of lip treatments. It keeps my lips soft, and it has anti-aging benefits. The appilcator is covered in gold and it is anti-microbial, which is really cool feature. $42, Sephora.
9.) Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelee is the best blush I have ever tried. The color is sheer, yet easy to build up. It will stay on you all day and it is even good for your skin. It is $22 at Sephora.
10.) This is the palette if you are always on the go and need to look great in a snap. You can do a full look if need be using the creme blush as a lipstick and the bronzing veil as an eyeshadow. $39, Sephora and Ulta
