Recent Beauty Buys » Simply Mars

Happy Monday everyone! I’ve been getting several requests to incorporate more beauty related posts into my blog, so I thought I would start with my recent beauty buys.

I recently switched my foundation from the Estee Lauder Double Wear to the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD. While I still love my Estee Lauder, I really wanted to find something that was lightweight and not so cakey. The Ultra HD foundation feels wonderful on my skin. It seriously feels like I’m not wearing any makeup at all. It is a medium coverage foundation but is buildable and can be full coverage.

I love how small this Marc Jacobs Daisy rollerball is. It fits perfectly in my makeup bag so I always have it on hand. It is a floral scent and smells fresh and feminine.

I was hesitant on purchasing the Charlotte Tilbury Micro-Powder because it is a little pricey. But I must say, you get what you pay for! This powder is soft and light in texture and has a mattifying effect on the skin.

Okay, this is by far my most favorite beauty purchase. I have been looking for a good concealer for a while and finally found the perfect one. The Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer blurs the fine lines under my eyes and feels hydrating on the skin. I set it with the Charlotte Tilbury Micro-Powder and it provides a flawless finish.

This Kat Von D Lipstick in Lolita has been my go-to fall color. It is a matte lipstick but doesn’t dry out my lips. I get compliments every time I wear this color. I also bought the lip stain. Both are wonderful.

I’m always on the hunt for new skincare products and I have been loving this exfoliator from Kate Somerville. It is very gentle and is perfect for my sensitive skin. Another great option is the First Aid Beauty exfoliator.

I would love to hear what some of your favorite beauty products are at the moment. Please comment below and let me know what products you are currently loving.
