My brow philosophy can be summed up by Britney Spears’ “gimme, gimme more” lyrics. Benefit’s Gimme Brow attaches tiny microfibers to your brow making them appear lusher and dare I say…on fleek.

I rarely touch up my makeup.  I’m just too lazy to bother. Once I have my face on, I just hope it last me to the end of the day, however long that is. Urban Decay Makeup Setting Spray promises to keep your makeup looking fresh for 16 hours and so far, it seems to work.

I like how natural Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Blush in First Love is. I prefer the “no makeup” makeup look. Shoutout to Aunt Becky for teaching us “the secret to wearing makeup is to make it look like you’re not wearing any.” This finely milled blush will definitely help you with that.

I wanted to sign up for Classpass the moment I heard of it, but unfortunately, there weren’t any participating studios around me. That’s not the case anymore. I don’t really do gyms, I tend to gravitate towards boutique studios. But at $20-40 a pop, studio classes can be quite pricey. That’s why Classpass is so enticing. Unlimited studio classes for under $100 is quite the deal. I also like that you can take classes in various cities. I’ve already tried some NYC studios, I can’t wait to check out others when I travel.

I picked up a bottle of Pixi Glow Tonic when I was at Liberty in London earlier this year. Luckily, now it can easily be found stateside. The five percent glycolic acid toner will leave your skin radiant. I can see why it’s a holy grail product for so many people.

I’m envious of people who are good at doing their own hair. I’ve tried and tried, but I just can’t seem to master flatiron waves. The GHD Curve Classic Wave Wand has an oval barrel, differentiating itself from a good old regular curling wand. The oval shape enables you to get classic s-shape waves or mimic flatiron waves results. I also love how fast the iron heats up.

While I still love the Hourglass foundation, I wanted to try something new. I needed a good one that would photograph well for my cousin’s wedding so I decided to splurge on Tom Ford and immediately fell in love with it. The only thing I don’t like about it is the price.

I’ve been using Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5-in-1 Styling Treatment since last year when I chopped and donated 10+ inches of hair. It gives my hair a little ompf and it smells so goooood.

I’m very picky about fragrances. I only like fresh, citrusy scents. And even then, I tend to get bored of scents too quickly. I’ve never finished a bottle of perfume. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino is one scent I have yet to be bored of. It’s fresh and clean. I just wish the scent lasted longer.

Seriously, I have yet to try an Hourglass product that I didn’t love. And this Ambient Lighting Bronzer didn’t disappoint. I highly recommend you try this one out.

Charlotte Tilbury Rock n Kohl Eyeliner Pencil is creamy, but doesn’t slip. I have the classic black shade, Bedroom Black, but I’m thinking of picking up other colors to try.

There’s a reason why Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder is everyone’s holy grail product. It works. It’s been a staple in my makeup arsenal for years.
