My Favorite Everyday Products

So its been a while since I posted anything. I have so busy planning my daughter's first birthday. So here is a post of all my favorite beauty products I use everyday. I know being a mom sometimes its hard to get ready in the morning. This allows me a quick look if I'm just running errands and so on. I will start at the top going left to right. Enjoy!

1.) Clean & Clear Morning Glow Moisturizer $5- I love this as an every moisturizer because its light and glowy, hence the name. It is also oil free and has spf 15 in it.

2.) E.L.F. Tinted Moisturizer in Porcelain $3- I was really excited when I purchased this from Target not only for the price but I love most E.L.F. products. I also was on a search for a good tinted moistueizer. I had previously purchased one from Hard Candy and hated it. It was more like a foundation and it seperated in the bottle, ewww. Now I'm pretty much happy with this one however its a little heavier than I thought, I just mix a little bit of this with my Clean & Clear and its the perfect consistency.

3.) Maybelline New York Fit Me! Pressed Powder in 120 Classic Ivory $6- I just purchased this and I love the color, it matches perfectly. Its velvety smooth and I love the packaging.

4.) Mineral Elements by Eden Mineral Veil Finishing powder $?- I'm not sure how much this cost individually as I had purchased this in a trial set for $35. I love. This powder is super fine which makes my face matte and fills in where the tinted moisturizer and pressed powder has not.

5.) Cover Girl Invisible Concealer in Fair $5- I purchased this because I desperately needed concealer and I had a $2 off coupon. I normally use Rimmel Match Perfection concealer but was on a tight budget. I read good reviews about this CG concealer. Its thicker than the Rimmel concealer I'm used to but I like the way it sets to sorta like a powder.

6.) Rimmel London Scandaleyes Lycra Flex Mascara in Extreme Black $5- I love the huge brush and the fact you can layer it with no clumps. It took me a few tries to get it right. I also adore that it doesn't make your lashes crunchy but soft and flexible.

7.) Maybelline New York Eye Studio Eye Shadow Quad in Sapphire Siren $8- I purchased this a while ago. I have each color but I mostly use the white shadow just to give my lids and inner corners a wake up call.

8.) Philosphy Love Sweet Love Perfume Sample- My sister received this in either her BirchBox or MyGlam bag in the last couple months, but I'm not sure which and not sure what month. She always gives me stuff that won't use. Love free beauty products. I checked Sephora's website and its $42 for a 2oz bottle. I love the citrusy smell, its so fresh and girly. I just wish it was in a little squirt bottle. I always spilling it, oops.

9.) Cover Girl Cheekers Blush in 140 Plumberry Glow $4- This has been my favorite blush since I can remember. I love the consistency and the color. It blends well and has buildable color. Now this is normally close to $4 but I got this at my local Dollar General on clearance for a $1 durring the summer. I think it was because the color was considered a winter color.

10.) Maybelline New York Baby Lips SPF 20 Lip Balm in 10 Peppermint $3- This lip balm has a minty scent and condition lips. It doesn't have any color so if color is wanted I would layer it under a lip gloss or lipstick.

11.) Rimmel London Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer in 261 Noir $4- My mom gave me this eyeliner because she had purchased the wrong color. I have to say its not bad for being free. I like that its waterproof but its not very pigamented. I have to go over my lash line several times to get the color I want however I do like the packaging. It has a sharpener for the tip at the end.

So there it is, products I use almost every day. Stay tuned for more....
