What's in my beauty box?!

I thought I would start my blog off with sharing a few of my favorite beauty products that I cannot live without! Even if I only have a couple minutes to get ready... these are the first products  I would grab!

Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara, $26

No need to spend a few minutes applying mascara with this one! The large brush and waxy texture makes it easy to put on 2 coats and go!

Bare Minerals Original SPF 15 Foundation, $26
Best foundation for varying coverage. Tap a little bit into the cap, use your favorite Kabuki brush and swirl onto face until you get desired coverage. Perfect for getting ready quick as you don't have to worry about getting those nasty foundation lines!

Benefit Cosmetics Erase Paste, $26
Perfect for those days when you have dark under eye circles or blemishes!

Last, but certainly not least, MAC Cosmetics lip glosses. Every year during the holiday season they come out with limited edition lip gloss sets, and I buy them in every color. This year, there were 4 in each gift set for $32.50. Perfect way to try new colors that you may have never tried before!

Here is my favorite color theme, coral. Perfect for an everyday, natural look. Good color pigment, and not sticky!

What are your favorite beauty products that you cannot live without?!

Until next time....

Just a girl with a beauty blog

The purpose of this blog is to take a deeper look into one of our passions and share it with the blogging world. Sure, I could have come up with something a little less cliche than a girl with a beauty blog, but hey, it's what I know and love!

I'm sure there will be people that will come across this blog that will say they could careless about beauty, makeup, fashion, hair, fitness, or diet... but they are lying.

Everyone has something they do every day in their beauty routine that they could not give up. For men it could be a certain hair gel or shaving cream they couldn't live without. For women it could be a certain mascara or shade of lip stick that brings out your inner confidence.

I love everything about beauty from the way it makes you appear on the outside, to the way it makes you feel on the inside. With this blog I hope to share my views on whatever the latest beauty buzz is about, and I welcome any feedback you may have on a topic!

See ya soon with my first "beauty" related blog!
