I love beauty products. Whether it’s makeup or skincare, I love all things beauty. I try my best not to be a product junkie but when you are constantly testing new products that can be sort of hard. There are a few products, though, that no matter what I have in my medicine cabinet will always be in the rotation. These 15 beauty products that I can’t live without help keep my skin and makeup on point. Let me know in the comments if you’ve used any of these products or have any more suggestions!
Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream
I am officially at the point in my life where staying up late means waking up with super dark undereye circles the next morning. During college, I could stay up to all hours of the night without any evidence the next morning. Sad to say that those days are long gone! Now I reach for the Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream to brighten my under eyes and make me look like I’m 18 again.
Real Techniques Makeup Brushes
The very first set of makeup brushes I ever purchased were from Real Techniques. These brushes will always be in my arsenal. They are super affordable and great quality for the price. A great staple in your makeup kit.
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb
“Cuz myyyyyy lip glosssss is poppin’!” If Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb was out in 2008, Lil Mama would’ve been swiping this across her lips. Honestly, if you haven’t tried this lip gloss yet you are super late to the party. Any time I get a compliment on my lip gloss in YouTube videos or IG pics, I’m usually wearing this one.
Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Nectar
Using perfumes and fragrances wasn’t part of my beauty routine until recently. I always viewed perfumes as a bit of a luxury because of the price tag. I was talking with a friend recently who said that every woman should have a signature scent. Not long after I stumbled across Flowerbomb Nectar by Viktor & Rolf. I love it because it’s very soft, feminine and not overly sweet. If you aren’t sure you’re ready to drop $100+ for perfume, try out the rollerball and travel spray sizes first!
Lilly Lashes in Miami
No makeup look is complete without a good pair of lashes. These lashes give you drama without weighing your eyes down.
Lancome Tient Idole Liquid Foundation
The number one makeup product I will always recommend splurging on is your foundation. A flawless complexion is the basis for all amazing makeup looks. I love this Lancome foundation because it is lightweight and glides on really smooth. The color matches me perfectly and doesn’t oxidize which means I can trust that it will look the same at 8am and 8pm.
Milani Baked Bronzer in Soleil
This product is a little deceiving because it’s technically a bronzer but the shimmer you get makes it the perfect highlighter. I swipe this product on my cheekbones and nose like any other highlighter and it gives me a nice subtle, “glowing from within” look.
Drunk Elephant Hydrating Serum
Drunk Elephant is a skincare OG. I’ve used a number of their products and don’t have complaints about any of them. My current favorite is this hydrating serum. 10/10 recommend.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz- Ebony
Good brows can make you feel like a brand new woman! The ABH Brow Wiz is easy to use and retractable making it easy to prevent the product from breaking. Fill in your eyebrows with quick, hair-like strokes for a natural brow.
Fenty Beauty Bronzer
Wanna look like you just got back from vacation? The Fenty Beauty bronzers can help you! They are so warm and highly pigmented. A little goes a long way!
Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer
I wore the Nars tinted moisturizer as my foundation for prom and have been buying it ever since. It gives light to medium coverage which makes it great for everyday wear. I use this in my daily makeup routine for work to look put together without trying too hard.
Ole Henriksen Cold Plunge Pore Mask
We always see those funky green masks in TV shows and movies but I had never come across one until I bought this one. The mask gives you a refreshing tingling sensation when applied. If you really want to enjoy it, put it in the fridge for 30-45 minutes before you apply it.
L’oreal Infallible Full Wear Concealer
As far as drugstore makeup goes, L’oreal is always at the top of the list. They just never fail! This concealer is proof! When they say full coverage, they mean it! This product could give the Too Faced concealer a run for its money.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream
Keeping in line with amazing drugstore products I had to include the NYX soft matte lip creams. These little babies are small but mighty. The shade range is crazy offering everything from nude lips to the darkest black/berry lip imaginable. My favorite shades are Abu Dhabi, Kyoto and Amsterdam.
KVD Tattoo Eye Liner
Last but not least, what’s a beauty roundup without an eye liner. The KVD tattoo liner is hands down one of the best eyeliners I have ever tried. It’s waterproof, super pigmented and comes with a brush so precise you can create the sharpest wing ever. You are welcome!
Those are the 15 beauty products that I can’t live without! What are some of your beauty go tos?
