I'm addicted to...

Makeup shouldn't be applied to cover up natural beauty-it was created to enrich one's natural features. Like fashion, it is considered a form of expression. It shouldn't be something that you dread putting on in the morning, but rather use it to express your feelings for the day. 

With that being said, I enjoy trying different products. Sephora is one of my favorite shops because they have so many selections and you have someone there that knows the product. 

I don't know how I made it through the day without a primer. One of my perks from my Sephora rewards card was a Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer. It gives a matte finish while the Vitamin C helps even your skin tone. The primer helps my foundation and bronzer last all day. It has definitely become a necessity for my daily makeup routine and a must-have product. It can be purchased for $49.

One of the newest products that I've tried and loved is a bronzer from Benefit. It's called Hoola and it's the perfect way to add enough glow for those cold winter days or to enhance an already summer-dew. It can be purchased for $28.

    Boxed Powders Collection

I've become a little obsessed with Benefit and their products. Michelle (my new found friend at the Benefit counter in Macy's), has helped with my latest addiction. I wind up trying most of their products due to her persuasive expertise. The most recent addition to my massive collection is One hot minute, which is a finishing powder. I put it on after I've applied my foundation and bronzer for a long lasting glowing effect. On the days that I want more of a natural look I will put it on over my foundation to give that "dewy" appearance. It can be purchased for $30

One Hot Minute

These products make a difference when applying your makeup. It might seem a lot to put on your face, but they are all lightweight enough that it doesn't feel heavy or look caked on. Hope you guys try them and let me know how it goes!
