My Go 2's

Happy New Year Honeys!

I wanted to give you ladies some of my favorite go to products..basically things I can't live without. There's tons of amazing products out there, but these are some that I've used numerous times & that always seem to do the trick. Enjoy! :) if you have any questions or suggestions please comment below.


 

Real Tech Brushes

I recently started using these brushes & I love them! They are super soft on your skin and blend incredibly! The contour set is a must-have. I used to use all MAC brushes and these definitley compare. A staple in your collection for sure!



MAC prep+prime Highlight Pen

Perfect for highlighting precise areas. Fits right in your makeup bag at home or on the go. Can't live without this! I have this in Light Boost, but it also comes in 2 different colors. I will probably purchase the Peach for the Summer. It will look gawgeous with bronze skin!


KHROMA Beauty Illuminator

Here's another great highlighter I use all the time! Unlike the MAC prep+prime this highlighter has a little shimmer that goes a long way. For a natural glow use lightly. For a night out use heavy. I love to spread it above and across my cheek bones for a shimmery glow. It's also perfect for an eye shadow base. Similar to Urban Decays Shimmer Potion.


L'Oreal Shocking Extensions Telescopic Mascara


Seriously the best mascara out there! Not only is it cheap it really works. It makes my eyelashes incredible almost as if I'm wearing falsies. It goes on smooth and doesn't clump. It makes every lash perfection. The brush is awesome & so is the container. Looks futuristic :0

Maybelline FIT Me

For all over foundation I love Maybelline's FIT Me Foundation. It's super light for sheer coverage and has awesome shades that match perfectly. They aren't too orange or pigmented, so they blend wonderfully.


Physicians Formula BB Cream

I also love PF BB Cream for a base \ moisturizer. It comes in 3 neutral colors. I use the light for the winter. It's really soft and keeps the skin from drying. Love this for the cold months.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Makeup
First off let me start by saying how Neutrogena changed my life! I started using them about 7 years ago when I was breaking out a lot. My mom got me this Neutrogena on the spot kit that had a cleanser, cream, and acne spot treatment. After about a month using it my skin was completely clean and clear. Now I use nothing on my face except Neutrogena (face wash, toner, lotion, etc.) literally a miracle. I'll post one if my favorite products by them later..anyway back to the makeup. I use this for contouring and it's amazing! Creates a nice airbrush look and doesn't leave a clumpy residue. And of course it helps your skin :) great product.

Bh :: Cosmetics Glamorous Blush Palette
Probably wouldn't survive without this palette..it has all the colors you would ever really need. Mix of shimmer and matte. All the colors are highly pigmented. Cheap price high quality product. Love everything bh they are amaze balls.

Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette
One of my favorite palettes! Just as great as Vice 1. Love these colors they are gorgeous. Love how they mix sparkles and mattes. The brush is great. This palette is a must have. Worth every penny. Don't hesitate to buy..it's seriously impossible to even buy Vice 1 now. They go for like 250$ on EBay. Like as if lol..

Batiste Dry Shampoo
Talk about a lifesaver. This stuff is da bomb.com. Amazing for hangover days and when you need to fly out the door. Or when you remember that you haven't washed your hair in 3 days..A spritz of this will leave your mop feeling clean and full of volume! It smells delish and comes in so many different scents etc.

Neutrogena Toner/Moisturizer


I told you guys I would post my favorite Neutrogena product and here it is! I couldn't pick one, so I am reviewing both hehe :) 1. Rapid Clear Fight and Fade Toner. This whole product line is amazing. Works wonders. This toner is great in the morning or before you go to sleep. If you have any blemishes, this helps right away. It also helps to fade post scars or acne marks and evens skin tone. It dries right away and isn't too harsh on skin. 2. Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturizer. Simply the best moisturizer. Isn't sticky and dries fast. Leaves your face super light and clean feeling. Will swear by this lotion. My boyfriend steals it from my bathroom all the time :P.

OrganiX Keratin Oils

Great shampoo/conditioner for dry brittle hair. I started using this line about a month ago. My hair needed a little moisture and umph. This line definitley did the trick. It left my hair really soft and full. Looks great after a blow dry. I wouldn't recommend using it everyday, because it does add a lot of oil to your hair plus your hairs natural oils it might get a little too greasy. But as a every couple day line it works great. They also have a deep conditioning mask that I'm probably going to try next. For that I would recommend every 3 to 4 weeks.

BigSexyHair Powder Play

For extra volume I use this little gem. It's a powder that you apply right to the roots of your hair that gives a flat head an extra punch. It doesn't make your hair feel heavy or matted. Sprinkle all over strands to get an extra textured tousle and to separate ends. It's the perfect size and will fit right in your purse.

Brazilian Blowout Leave in Conditioner

I've tried tons of leave in's and this one is def my favorite. I call this stuff my magic weapon. I use it after a shower to blow dry and when my dry hair needs a soft lift. It isn't heavy weighing at all and eliminates all frizz. I also run it through curls to separate and moisturize. This product smells like paradise and reminds me of summer :( it's a little pricey but lasts a while and is totally worth the money.

LORAC TAnTlizer Body Iluminizer

A tan girls best friend :) I'm in love with this stuff. I'm not a huge fan of self tanners. You never really know how much to put on. And If you put on too much you'll eventually look orange. That's why I love this stuff, it illuminates and magnifies your skin right away. It leaves a bronze color glow that is shimmery and hides imperfections. It's my favorite in the Summer after a long day at the beach.

Jordana Lip Liners


My favorite lip liners by far. Super cheap and exceeds expectations. They come in great colors. They are very true to color and glide on easily. They last for hours. I usually end up blending in my whole lip, because I love these colors so much lol.

Bio-Oil

One of a kind product. Perfect for hydrating skin. I use this for evening skin tone and on pimples, so there is no scar. This stuff is awesome for all over your body & to help fade stretch marks. I like the small bottle so it fits snug on my sink.




Well that concludes my Go 2 list so far :) there's tons of more products that I absolutely love, so stay tuned I might end up doing a Go 2 # 2.
