You guys! I did a post a couple weeks ago talking about some of my beauty must-haves and so many of you ordered the Biosilk Dry Shampoo, it made my heart happy! Don't worry, I can't see who made the purchases, only the total number; you're anonymous but I would love to hear from anyone that tries it! Hope you love this dry shampoo as much as I do, it's a serious game-changer. I've tried countless dry shampoos and this one is by far my favorite.

Laura Mercier deserved a double dose on this list because I'm completely obsessed with both the Photo Finish Foundation and Tinted Moisturizer. I've been wearing the tinted moisturizer for years (in sand); it's perfect for everyday wear and gives great coverage that lasts all day. The photo finish foundation is a more recent favorite of mine, but it's definitely here to stay. The foundation goes on so well and really does give an airbrushed look, while still feeling light on the skin.

I talk a lot about eyebrows because, let's face it, I have some bold (caterpillar) ones. Because of my two furry friends, I'm constantly trying new products to tame and fill in gaps. None seem to achieve this better than the Ardell Brow Defining Kit, which is pretty much the best invention ever. The palette can be mixed to achieve just the right color of your natural brows, and the wax pencil holds them in place. Just in case your furry friends are wild, like mine.
The highlighter is my favorite part of the palette; it really makes a big difference in your overall look. Plus this is a lot of great stuff for just $12!

I've talked so much about this Dior Lip Maximizer that I'm sure you're rolling your eyes by now, but I promise it's worth the splurge. No matter how dry my lips get, this stuff brings them back to life and makes them look more plump and full. 

If you're looking for a tinted daily moisturizer that will give your skin a subtle, natural-looking glow, then I highly recommend the Touch of Summer Moisturizer by Hempz. It doesn't leave an orange residue like similar products and goes on really evenly, plus it smells like summer which I love. What does summer smell like, you might ask? I have no idea but Hempz pretty much nailed it. 


If you have any questions at all regarding these products, or anything else, feel free to leave a comment and I'll be sure and respond! This is not a sponsored post, these are all just products that I believe in enough to shamelessly advocate. If you have any beauty products you can't live without, I would love it so much if you shared! I'm always looking for new make-up to try and I'll take all the help I can get.
