The Best of Beauty

Hey ya'll its Emmi and Amber here! We are soooooo excited to finally spill our beauty secrets! In today's post we both will share our TOP FAVORITE beauty must haves! Not to condone any crazy spending habits *wink wink*, we definitely recommend these products and here is why...

Emmi: Can you believe summer is right around the corner? These products will even last through HOUSTON summer weather. Which basically means it can stay on through anything.

a. Isle of Paradise Tanning Face Drops

This one is a must because who doesn’t feel confident while tan? The face always has a tendency to be the paler than the rest of your body. These drops will give you that natural “sun kissed” look. It’s perfect also because you can control how tan you want to be by how many drops you put in your moisturizer.

b. Laura Mercier & Colourpop Blush Stix

Did someone say CREAM? Cream eyeshadow and blush is a MUST for enduring summer weather. My favorite cream eyeshadow is the Laura Mercierin ‘Intense amethyst.’ I have tried a lot of cream eyeshadows, and this one is by far my favorite. If you are trying to get out the door and trying to look like you did not wake up 5 minutes ago… smear this stuff all over your lids and you will look fierce. TheColorpop Blush Stixis insane. Did I mention it is only $8? If you want that girly/natural look, this is your go to!

c. Lock It Waterproof Eyeliner & Tarte Maneater Mascara

I use this liner in brown and it is beyond words. I have brown eyes and this really makes it pop! It has a bit of glitter that gives your eyes that smokey, natural look! I personally do not have the longest lashes but the Tarte Maneater Mascara has always lengthened my lashes while adding the fullness it desperately needs!

d. Becca Undereye Brightening Corrector & BareMinerals Powder Foundation

With summer heat, I tend to stay away from heavy products. I love that natural look honestly. That may not be everyone’s preference, so if it is not these products can also serve as extra coverage! The Becca Undereye Brightening Corrector is to be used under or on top of concealer for brightness! I LOVE using this on its own. It really looks so natural, but covers up the bags. BareMinerals Powder Foundation really compliments that natural look. It gives you enough coverage to hide any imperfections, but still looking like “skin” at the same time!

e. The BalmJour Creamy Lip Stain

This is by far one of my favorites. There are so many colors that really compliments all skin tones. I love to apply this with a couple dots and smearing it with my finger. Y’all need to try it!

Amber: Don't get me wrong, I love the way that I look without makeup, but a little coverage never hurt anybody! Let me show you my staples:

a. Watt's Up Cream Highlighter from Benefit

This cream highlighter adds the perfect, yet subtle glow from within. The highlighter is not blinding but every time I wear it, I get comments on how radiant my skin looks!

b. Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon Eye Shadow Pencil

This product took me a little while to get used to, but I am so glad that its in my collection. If you want a sparkle liner, try this one out! Be careful when blending it out because you have about 3-5 seconds before it sets.

c. Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara and Tarte Fake Awake Liner

Get this mascara. That's all I got to say about that. The liner on the other hand, is something you need to order right this second. This is a nude eye liner that goes specifically in your water line. Its for those nights you don't sleep and need the little pick me up. This pencil really makes you look wide eyed and awake!

d. CHANEL Les Beiges Bronzing Cream ~ Soleil Tan Bronze

Talk about a summer glow! This bronzing cream is one for the books. I apply this with my beauty blender and it looks like I've been sitting by the beach all day! I will say, there is no such thing as a shade range and it also cost me a pretty penny.

e. Dior Rouge Lipstick

I prefer cream lipstick and this line has multiple different finishes. My everyday go to color is 169 which is a perfect rosey nude, but there are some good dupes at the drug store.

f. Rodan and Fields Lash Boost serum

My boyfriend's sister told me about this serum, and I've never been so proud to own something in my entire life (Thanks Rio)! I convinced Emmi to get this, and she'll rave about it too I'm sure. From thin little eyelashes to long wispy NATURAL lashes.. this guy is worth every dollar. Just a couple of days ago I was asked if I had eyelash extensions... Nuh-uh honey.
