I am a real sucker for new products with great reviews. Some work for me; some don't.
But I have a few things I feel compelled to recommend as they are my can't-live-withouts.
Top of my list is the Oval #7 Artis Brush
M bought one a few months ago and told me about it, but I was so happy with my Wayne Goss brushes I didn't think I'd ever be buying new ones again. I'm glad I was wrong. Now I can pretty much get rid of all my brushes and just keep the one Artis. These brushes come in multiple sizes (I also have the linear # 3 for eyeshadow) but if you are getting one, get the #7. It blends makeup perfectly, and the #7 can be used for creams, powders and liquids.
BY Terry Concealer (I use #02, Vanilla Beige)
Great for under eyes. Liquid, creamy, and a nice brightener. I always feel better wearing it.
Burberry Fresh Glow
I wear this over moisturizer and under makeup. It feels great going on and melts into your skin. It gives a great glow, without making you feel shiny.
Ellis Faas (#103 for me)
I usually just wear a tinted moisturizer but have been reading about this brand called Ellis Faas. Everyone who uses it seems to love it. It's easy to buy online but no where else. But I'm resourceful and find the one store in Manhattan that sells Ellis Faas— CO Bigelow, the oldest apothecary in America, located in the West Village. I try the #103 (fair with pink tones) and buy it. I've worn it only once and already love it. It gives a little more coverage than a tint, feels light and dewy on, and is totally buildable. The search has been worth it.
Lancome Definicils Mascara
This has been around for a while. I've tried many mascaras and hate most of them. My eyes always feel heavy. M told me about this product (I think it's won some awards) and I love it.
Urban Decay Glide On Eye-Pencil
Easy to apply (if you don't need a perfect line). I got Smoke and Empire. It really makes the color in one's eyes pop, at least it does mine.
RMS
I like this organic brand. I use and love the "Un Cover-Up (#11) and the Lip-to-cheek Demure for a spot of color.
Molten Brown Body Wash
Love these for baths. Great foaming and great smelling. I particularly like Ginger Lily,
Rhubarb and Rose, and White Sandalwood. My guess, though, is that they are all nice.
Colorscience 3 in 1
Just bought this after all the rave reviews. Still haven't opened the box.
Let me know if you have any must-haves. Or, your opinion if you try any of my recommendations. Would love to know.
