Ultimate Favourites


These four products are my ultimate favourite regardless of the season or occasion! I love them because they basically are good for everyday use and for formal nights. These four products are Tarte LipSurgence Matte Lip Tint, MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation, DAISY by Marc Jacobs Perfume and OPI-Big Apple Red nail polish. In this post I will give some brief info on each product and when/how I use them.

TARTE: This product is my FAVOURITE. I'm not big on shine, especially on my lips so this is so perfect for me. It is extremely matted and it has a really awesome minty taste. I usually apply two layers of this product and then a deeper red. I do this because Tarte doesn't make the perfect red/pink shade for my lips, and mixing the two works really well for me. This product is around $26 at Sephora and comes in a matte and shimmer shades.

MAC: When I decide to wear makeup on my face, I always use this. It is my only powder and it is amazing! I just use a basic powder brush that I picked up from Wal-Mart and lightly apply this over my face after I have moisturized. There is no need to apply a base foundation with this product because I think that is has just the right amount of coverage for all-day use. This powder/foundation is $27 and can be bought at your local MAC store. Go buy this!

DAISY: This is the most beautiful scent that I own. I would highly recommend purchasing this because it can be used for day and night occasions. Personally, I spray this on my neck before I leave the house in the morning, and the scent is still lingering after the day is done; it's so wonderful. There isn't much to say about this except for the fact that you should buy it. Marc Jacobs never disappoints. $79 for the 1.7oz bottle from Sephora.

OPI: Every girl (and boy) needs the perfect red nail polish! Big Apple Red by OPI did the perfect job at developing this polish. This red isn't too deep, and it isn't too bright either. I wear this polish at least every other week because of how much I love it. With fall approaching, this colour will become much more prominent among the masses, so I would suggest picking one up asap! Another thing awesome about this polish is that two coats and a clear top coat keeps this polish looking awesome for at least a week (possibly two if you're not a crazy girl like myself). You can probably buy this from Wal-Mart for $9-$11.
