My Top 10 Go-To Beauty Products
Jessie Brand

As the makeup enthusiast I am, I have had my share of great products and not-so great products. We've all been through the reviews on websites about products that are supposed to look a certain shade, or do a certain thing to your lips, but there is no review like that of someone who uses the product everyday, not just a one time try. So today, I'm here to give you a list of my ten most favorite beauty products that I use almost on the daily. I hope you enjoy, and leave a comment about any products you think I should try.

1. Too Faced Cosmetics' Peach Palette ($49)

This palette I recently received as a gift for Christmas and have used it almost everyday since. This is the second palette of Too Faced Cosmetics' that I have bought and I really enjoy the amount of pigments in the eyeshadows. I am able to use this palette to create a very casual red smokey eye for an every day wear, but I also use the darker shades to do a dramatic eye for a night out. I highly recommend this palette because of the diversity of the shades and the pigmentation.

2. Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit -Powder ($40)

This was the second contour kit I had ever purchased after trying a cream contour kit from another brand. I fell in love with the way the shades blended into my skin but still left a defined face. I prefer the powder contour kits over the cream contour kits because I feel they are less messy and personally I mess up less using the powder. I recommend this kit because 1. it blends very nicely and 2. there are now refills of the shades that you can purchase which means you don't have to buy a whole new kit anymore!

3. NYX Liquid Illuminator (Ranges in Price)

This product is perfect for acting as almost a primer for a highlight powder. I use this product almost everyday before I apply my highlighter from my glow kit (Anastasia Beverly Hills) and it keeps my highlight popping. I really recommend this product because they have different shades for different skin tones, and it will keep your makeup in place for long periods of time so you can continue to slay and not worry about if your highlight is lacking a pop.

4. Too Faced Cosmetics' Hangover Primer ($32)

At last, the search for the perfect primer is over for me. This primer works extremely well for me especially when I pair it with Too Faced foundation. Even though I highly recommend this product because it gives a pore-less look to your makeup, I recommend starting out with a small sample size as I know plenty of people that have said this product has made them break out.

5. NYX Matte Lip Cream (Prices Range)

I use these lip creams almost everyday on my lips. I like these products because they are cheaper than high-end makeup and they also do a great job of moisturizing my lips. My tip for using these creams is to apply two coats of the lip color of your choosing, then dab your lips with a tissue (or put a bit of finishing powder on your finger) and give your lips an intensified matte finish. This will help your lip cream stay on longer, and not move off of your lips and onto your face.

6. Lancôme Hypnoses Drama Mascara ($27.50)

I recently got a sample package of different mascaras from Sephora and this product was included in it. I fell in love with the volume and length this mascara gave me, that I will be purchasing a full-sized version as soon as my sample size runs out.

7. NYX Matte Setting Spray ($7.99)

As someone who always swore by the Urban Decay setting sprays, I have found a dupe. This spray holds my makeup in place for a longer period of time that any other I have tried, and is also only a fraction of the price. I use this spray everyday to finish any makeup look I do and my makeup will stay in place until I remove it myself with a makeup wipe.

8. Urban Decay's Naked 3 Palette ($54)

This is my go-to palette if I want to do a very casual smokey eye. I really love the pinks in this palette and also appreciate that the darker colors are mixed with glitter so they are less intimidating. I recommend this palette to anyone just starting to play around with makeup because the shadows blend nicely and the colors aren't too crazy.

9. Too Faced Cosmetic's Extreme Lip Injection ($28)

With the obsession over having plump lips nowadays reaching a new level, this product has been selling out over and over again. I recently bought this product to see if it did in fact plump my lips and I can report that it didn't. This product is meant to irritate your lips to give them a more plump look, not plump them actually. I use this product as a moisturizer for my lips before I apply any other makeup. My lips have never been softer thanks to Too Faced, even if they aren't permanently plumped.

10. Kirkland Makeup Wipes ($11.99)

Although this isn't technically a makeup product, it is just as important. I used to swear by the Neutrogena face wipes to take off all of my makeup. Those wipes do the job amazingly, but the Kirkland wipes (which can be found at Costco) are better. I swear that the two brands are almost identical but it is less expensive to buy Kirkland in bulk than Neutrogena.

And that's all folks! If you have any questions on where you can buy these products you can leave me a comment on this article or contact me on social media! I'm also always curious to test out new products so leave me a suggestion or two!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
