The Beauty Blender There has been much noise about this product, and after testing it out for  a bit, I must say, it's quite hype worthy. It retails for $26 CAD, but who  really has that much to splurge on a friggin sponge? So I crossed over to  the states and bought it there, which is sold for $19 USD, still quite pricey, but with its simple maintenance care, I think it'll last me for a while. I use this with my Nars foundation, and it really makes my skin look flawless, plus its so simple to use and maintain. I highly recommend it!

Lancome - La Base Pro Primer Ive tried the sample version of this and I absolutely fell in love with it. Just a small dab is enough to smear it all over your face, and it is so smooth, it leaves your skin feeling so soft and velvety. It is oil free so there is no greasy feeling to it. I apply this right before my foundation which makes it easier to apply and it leaves my skin looking porcelain.

Lancome Hydra Zen Ive been testing out this moisturizer and I love it. My skin is on the dry side so Ill see dry patches even after moisturizing, but not with this. It has this light yet creamy consistency which makes it easy to smooth out.

Le Crayon Poudre Since my hair has become lighter, it really did not look good with my grey eyebrows. So lately Ive been loving and using this eyebrow pencil in taupe. It's not very waxy like most products, which I personally dislike, and stays  on all day. I love the little spooly thats attached to the end and comes with convenient caps to protect it from getting dirty.

Nars Sheer Glow - Vallauris I had a Sephora artist try this/recommend this to me and I absolutely  LOVED it. The tone he picked was perfect and as I started using it, I loved it even more. I would say that this is medium to full coverage, but then I  cant really compare as Ive only used BB creams, but it conceals very well; the redness around my nose and uneven skin. I always thought I had an oily face so I was looking for a matte finish, but looked like I have pretty dry skin which, with further matte foundations, my skin would just look dead.  I love that it has this sheer glow to it, the name does not lie, making my skin look more rejuvenated and glowy.

They need to be made with pumps!

Nars - Pressed Powder in Crystal I never really thought pressed powders were important, and I still think so, but the Sephora artist sold me on this one and yes, it makes me all beautiful but I dont think I need it. He advised me to not get setting powders that had colour, because whats the point of putting an overpriced foundation if you're going to ruin it with another overpriced coloured pressed powder. So instead, he introduced me to this one. This product acts as a pressed powder and a light reflecting sheening thingamajig making me look even more glowy. As it has no colour, I can use it with any foundation and one sweep should be good. I am set for life.

Not sure if you can see the sparkles, its not so much glitter, but it is some sort of it.

Lancome - Blush Subtle I received this with a huge holiday edition purchase with purchase, but  look! its the full size. Im not sure about the colour but the quality is quite exquisite. I like blushes that have a bit of a coral tint, these types of pinks just makes me look like I walked outside for 10 mins in -8 degreee weather. Anyway, free is always good. Plus I love lancomes packaging.
