Top TWO Tuesday!

When it comes to beauty there are certain tools that every girl needs in her arsenal. Below are my top two must-have beauty secrets I can't live without:

  1. BLUSH: We all have those days when we're overly tired and look a little down in the dumps (black under eyes, blotchy skin, unsightly blemishes, hand stamps rubbed off on a cheek). Needless to say, it's not pretty, nor is it appropriate for work/school/social gatherings with friends and family. Using blush, for me, is like getting an extra 5 hours of sleep! It's right up there with a couple Advil and a giant Starbucks! A few strokes of the right blush add a dewy shimmer to my cheekbones, instantly brightening an unhappy face. It's a total face refreshment.

  2. PRIMER: Confession- I just started using primers about a year-ish ago... When I first encountered this product, I was very skeptical and confused. It didn't take long for me to discover that this clear liquid is pure magic! I use a primer daily. I won't put makeup on without it. They are great if you want your makeup to last super duper long. It makes my skin feel silky and helps the foundation goes on smoothly. Love, love, love it!

  8. I totally agree with you on blush. My bff always stuck with bronzer. Her world was changed when she started adding blush! I love my primer as well.

  10. What about primer is so much better than just using moisturizer? I don't wear much makeup, so having something help what I actually put on, stay on would be helpful!

  12. Primer does wonders!! Still trying to find the perfect shade of blush though. When I do, it will be an amazing day! Your Easter pics are beautiful! Always been curious if you'll do a hair tutorial - or at least spill what products and tools you use. Love your hair straight, but your waves are always gorgeous and perfect!!!
