Every woman has their must have beauty products (& if you don’t you need to find them.) These are my favorite go-to products.
Red is a color that a lot of women tend to shy away from, yet everyone should have at least one bold red lipstick that makes her feel like she can do anything! This is that lipstick for me!
Ruby Woo by MAC ($15.00) is the one lipstick that I can honestly say looks good on EVERY SKIN TONE. I love it because it although it’s bright and bold, it doesn’t look clownish (many reds tend to look that way to me). Also, it’s matte. I don’t really care for shiny red lipstick bc the color is already eye catching, we don’t need it to shine too.
My everyday NUDE: I have literally been wearing this lipstick since the 8th grade. 
Viva Glam V is the lipstick that I go to when my outfit is statement enough. It looks good whether you are wearing a blazer and heels or sweats and UGGS, it is just all around amazing! Also, this is a part of the Viva Glam collection by MAC, and ALL of the proceeds go towards helping those with HIV/AIDS. So you are looking amazing while giving back!
My favorite mascara: Maybelline’s One by One
Now this didn’t get the best reviews by the beauty critics and beauty bloggers on YouTube, but this is my absolute FAVE mascara. I have mascara by everyone (ULTA, MAC, Victoria’s Secret, Lancome etc.) but I always come back to One by One. The brush separates every single lash, and gives so much volume! Plus it’s cheap! ($6 at Walmart) so next time you are there you may as well check it out!
If you are like me, you tend to get an oily T-Zone around 1pm (urgh! the blow right?!) But these blotting sheets here will change your life!
These sheets absorb the oil without messing up your makeup (unlike CoverGirl’s)…and the best part of it is they are only $1.50 for 50 sheets!!! And if you go to Target they always have a 3 pack for $3.00!! The best deal ever!
Last but definitely not least my bronzer!!!
I found this mineralizing bronzer two summers ago at Victoria’s Secret. I am absolutely obsessed with this! I honestly get complimented on this bronzer every time I wear it. I love it because you can wear it with a fully beat face, or with mascara and a nude lip. It was part of a limited edition collection but it sold so well that they made it permanent (thank GOD!)




Thanks for the tip about the oil sheets! I tried the covergirl ones a long time ago, but I’d never heard of these.
