I used to be a total make-up junkie. I would buy products, try them out, and mix and match. If I didn’t love the combo, to my sister they went. As I get older I know I need more creams and a little bit more coverage than I did when I was 18. After testing out many different combinations I have finally found one I love and wanted to share with all. Descriptions on products and links on where to buy below.
STEP 1: NEUTROGENA NATURAL FACE WASH
STEP 4: LAURA MERCIER MINERAL PRIMER
STEP 5: LAURA MERCIER SETTING POWDER AND BRUSH
STEP 6: SMASHBOX EYELID PRIMER
STEP 7: COVER GIRL FOUNDATION
STEP 8: BARE MINERAL PRESSED FOUNDATION/POWDER AND BRUSH
STEP 9: LAURA MERCIER BRONZER
STEP 10: BARE MINERALS SKIN BRIGHTENER
STEP 11: NARS BLUSH IN ORGASM
STEP 13: ANASTASIA EYE AND BROW EXPRESS
STEP 14: MAC LIQUID EYE PENCIL
STEP 15: COVERGIRL MASCARA
STEP 16: KORRES LIP BUTTER
STEP 17: OLAY PROX ADVANCED SYSTEM
STEP 18: CLARINS MULTI-ACTIVE NIGHT RECOVERY
STEP 19: OLAY EYE SERUM
STEP 20: NEU LASH EYE LASH GROWTH
If you could only buy three items out of the 20 here are my top must haves:
#8- The powder and the brush really do give me the best and most flawless coverage you could ever ask for. You get a full coverage without looking cakey and overdone.
#12- I get asked every time I wear this what it is. I take the feather brush and lightly dust it on the top of my cheek for a dewy and youthful look.
#13- I preach to all my friends how important eyebrows are. They literally change your face shape and make you look put together and complete. Anastasia is like the Ferrari of eyebrow fills. A must invest kind of product. It even comes with a tracer for all you beginners.
Chelsea I have! It has taken about a month but I wake up and they are definitely growing. I had eye lash extensions for a while but they broke all of my eye lashes off and this stuff has helped a ton! Just a warning it does take a month but you will be so so happy with the results!!
Ok, I have been debating for months over whether to splurge on NeuLash. Have you seen significant results? xo
