Beauty Hit List

Makeup and beauty products are basically fashion's little sister. They are one and the other and makeup can often complete the look, whether it be a subtle lip or bold lashes and a serious pop of colour. Because I consider fashion to be art you wear, I also apply the same to makeup, but on one's face. Because I love making lists and I haven't had time to pull out my camera in a while, here's a list of some must-try items that I've used over the years and have LOVED. Try some, let me know what you think & enjoy!

• Benetint by Benefit
• Miss Popularity by Benefit (this actually may be discontinued but it is the best purchase I have ever made)
• Russian Red Lipstick by MAC
• Orgasm by Smashbox
• Hypnose Doll Lash Mascara by Lancome
• Burts Bees lip-balm
• Jaqua Buttercream Frosting Lotion
• Jaqua Pumpkin Spice Face Mask (perfect for fall!)
• Chanel no. 5 (my perfume since I was 16 years old - it's a true classic)
• Mistress Champagne Hand Lotion by Butter London
• Shellac - this is a nail colour which lasts up to 2 weeks. If you haven't tried it, go to your closest spa ASAP 
• "Take a picture .. it lasts longer" silk glimmery body balm by Benefit
• Hello Flawless Powered Foundations by Benefit
• Smokin Eyes Brow and Eye Kit by Benefit
• Philosophy 3 in 1 Shampoo, Body Wash and Bubble Bath (this comes in every scent you could ever imagine. Some of my favourites: Cinnamon Bun, Birthday Cake, Green Apple and Peach)
• Cover FX Cream Concealar 

... It seems as if most of these items are by Benefit. I must say I am a huge fan. I have tried many companies including MAC, Clinique, Lancome, Dior and more! Although I find myself usually going back to them, until recently when I started going completely cruelty-free with all my beauty and makeup products. Here are some amazing brands if you want to do the easy switch!!!

• Cover FX 
• LUSH
• Smashbox
• Butter London
• Too Faced
• Live Clean
