These are a few of my FAVORITE things

For everyone that knows me they know I have a BIG problem... hello my name is PRODUCT JUNKIE.  So I thought that I would share a few of my favorite things and if you have other products you love please comment below because I try tons of new products a year.  My thoughts are if you are going to put money into something put it into products that make you feel good about yourself that you can do at home anytime you need a boost!

Here are my Make-up picks thus far in life:

From top left to right UnPettroleum Jelly - This is part of my night cream I'm actually out of the night cream I use but I add this around areas that are looking dry or extra wrinkled, Supernatural tinted moisturizer great for when I do not have time or it is not the place for makeup, Makeup forever set powder no color but it sets the liquid foundation, Lola by Marc Jacobs perfume roller ball smells so fresh and light I wear it a lot, Loreal TruMatch liquid great French quality for contouring or if I know I just want a little day coverage, Makeup Forever HD BIG FAV best makeup foundation EVER in my opinion, Laura Mercier concealer great for around eyes, Mary Kay eye makeup remover love how it is just a little oily because I only use it at night, Infallible Loreal lipstick this stuff stays on 4EVER some nights I have to put a lip gloss on to take it off, Urban Decay potion eye primer great if you are not wanting your eye makeup to go anywhere, Laura Mercier multi stick it is great for lips/eyes/cheeks I use it for cheeks, Frizz Ease by John Freida should be in my hair section below I just REALLY love it so I stuck it here too!!

Bottom Left to right Crest Whitestrips Supreme that I buy from my dentist and one box will last forever because I only use it a few times a month, Cover FX Foundation great for under eyes,  Mascara waterproof false lashes, Naked (the first one) eyeshadow by Urban Decay, Urban Decay 24/7 waterproof eye liner, my Jane I. eye brush, Tweezerman tweezers BEST EVER, Venus Breeze shave razor, and makeup forever powder brush

Not in the makeup photo is night cream and day cream - I was doing this while everyone was asleep and I left all of that in the other room, but basically I use a lot of different types of products because I have been given a lot over the last year therefore I use what I have till it is gone unless I have a reaction. 

I LOVE doing my own makeup and watching tons of YouTube videos on how to put makeup on properly.  I also have been to several makeup artists which have helped me a lot too!


Hair Products: Fat Hair hair spray for those fly aways I really need to control, Tresemme heat tamer I use heat a lot and try to protect my hair with that, Got 2b high heat protectant for days I use my flat iron, catwalk curls rock for days I let my natural curly hair run wild, Frizz ease John Freida AMAZING use it all the time, Macadamia oil and leave in conditioner, Sei Bella shampoo/conditioner/mask this stuff is amazing love how it has helped my hair recover from years of coloring, then got 2b dry shampoo for the days in between washes I can still feel like I have clean hair, then my two go to brushes bore bristle round brush and wide toothed comb for when my hair is wet

I have terrible hair very curly and unruly so I always try different hair products but I have to be careful when I do that it doesn't dry out my scalp because that happens in the winter especially if the product is too harsh.  I try to at least use shampoo and conditioner that is free of harmful ingredients to your hair and scalp!


Nails - I am all about saving money and doing this type of thing at home!!  I LOVE OPI nail colors especially red hot gift shown here, any cuticle or just cream works with my little cuticle pusher, a nail file I use one that is super thick because my nails are very tuff, then I use nail life gripper and topcoat fast drying to make the stuff stay on through 1,000,000 hand washing times throughout the day!


MY FAV -- I love to brush my teeth and go to the dentist (WEIRD RIGHT?).  I use my new Christmas gift of a sonicare tooth brush which you really can feel a difference by using, Colgate total, I am not much of a flosser because it takes too much time so I need a little help with my reach flosser that I love, then last but certainly not least my crest whitestrips I love those things bet you cannot tell since I have it in two photos!!!  :)


My gym bag I got a FREE bag for running my first 8k back before Christmas LOVE it, love my healthy deodorant from Lavanilla, my Asics running shoes, my ipod shuffle with armband, and my dry shampoo so I don't leave the gym smelling too bad in case at 6:30AM after my workout is done I needed to run to the store for a item that hit me while running we needed to make dinner! :)

I think that does it for my fav things!  If you have any suggestions on other products please let me know and I will give them a try!!! :)
