Top 5: Beauty Products Edition

I'm not constantly looking for new products, but when I hear a good recommendation I pay attention!  Here are some of my faves right now.


1.  Origins Save the Males Moisturizer

It's plain and simple, not heavy or oily, no scent.  It's for men.  I love it.  I like that I can squeeze it out and don't have to 'dig' it out of a pot like many moisturizers.  It also lasts me 3-4 months.




2.  Smashbox Blush/Soft Lights Duo

Two powders in one!  A blush and a highlighter.  The two can be layered together or worn alone and used as bronzer, blush, eye shadow or highlighter.  I use it as blush with a highlight on my cheekbones.  It gives me a natural and radiant glow!  (at least that's what the website said.)

3.  ENJOY Shine and Smooth

     I use a dab of this before drying my hair.  It makes my hair silky and smooth and shiny and soft.  AND it smells like green apples!  I also spilled almost an entire bottle of this in my hospital bag when I had Colby.  Don't dump this on your clothes - it stains!  But why would you go dumping a $25 bottle of anything on your clothes?!?


4.  Gillette Satin Care Shave Gel in Apricot

     Shave gel is shave gel... but this one smells like 'Radiant Apricot' and that is why I love it.  I also love it because every time I use it it makes me think of my friend Becca - as a matter of fact, I've been meaning to tell her that, and that she needs to try this.  Hi B!  : )




5.  Origins Foundation

     I've tried my fair share of foundations and this is my favorite.  It's not greasy, it doesn't make me break out and it blends really well.  They also have concealers if you need that type of this *looks away*.  I don't like using my fingers to apply make up, my favorite trick that I learned from my college girlfriend Shelby, is to use Swisspers wedges.  They make the makeup go on evenly and it's easier to smooth it all out... whatever that means.  But they do.  I'll never go back... to whatever I was doing before, ever!

Oh, and don't use a different brand of wedges, the others are too porous and don't work the same.

What are your favorites??  I'm in the market for mascara, razors and shampoo and conditioner.  My currents aren't pulling their weight!  Tell me!
