perfect beauty buys- LOVES IT.

Hi dolls,
I can finally report that I have found my new MUST have products! I rarely repurchase beauty products- unless I absolutely love them.
drumroll please
#1: Trish McEvoy Flawless Concealer
2 clicks and I'm set for the whole day- a must have for anyone with even the teensiest of dark circles under the eyes. If you can cover it, why not?!
Tip: Remember, always pat concealer in with your finger or a concealer brush, unless the makeup will settle into creases.
#2: MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15
I hate wearing SPF (I know, horrible.) mainly because of the way it makes my skin feel. However, MAC really got perfection with this tinted moisturizer! I was a normal Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer fanatic, but I hated the way that you could feel that it was on your face..plus it always looked a little shiny (I used the oil free formula). I was really skeptical on MAC, because I normally dislike their face makeup (but LOVE their fun eyeshadows, nail polishes, etc.)- yet I was pleasantly surprised! The formula is lightweight, minimal coverage, but definitely evens out skin tone.
Tip: Use the MAC 131 Duo Fibre Powder/Blush Brush for perfect application every single time. I use this brush with my foundations as well and it is AMAZING.
#3: MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Cheeky Bronze
This is perfect highlighter/bronzer. It adds soft sheen wherever you apply it and makes skin look sun kissed, my new must have for fall! I use the brick bronzer by Bobbi Brown, don't get me wrong- I have them in both bronze and rose but I still find this MAC product to be more natural looking. I'll still use Bobbi Brown occasionally- more likely for eyeshadow now though.
Tip: Use with MAC 131 brush (same as above), and dust on to cheekbones, down nose, and chin.
#4: Vaseline Aloe Fresh Moisturizing Body Gel
The perfect body moisturizer for summer! It is so lightweight, and cools skin on contact. The Plus side, this product contains no alcohol. And it leaves skin looking fresh!

I love finding the gems of out of all the beauty products out there :)
xoxo
