2011 Besties: Part Two

Yesterday was about my favorite products for the eyes and today is all about the face! Enjoy! 

*Part Two: For the Face*

-- I just recently started using liquid foundation as of a couple months ago. It took quite awhile to find a shade and brand that I liked until I came across this one. The formula goes on smooth and provides great coverage. I also love the natural, dewy look it gives. I also use the pressed powder on days when I'm looking for a little more coverage.
-- I received a sample of this night cream in my first Birchbox. I absolutely fell in love with it. The formula is so smooth and hydrates my skin, leaving it soft and clear. I use it at night after I've completed my Clinique 3 step skincare. My night cream sample is nearly gone and I'm ready to buy the full size here soon!

-- I was a little hesitated to try NARS blushes since they're quite expensive at $27 a pop. I decided to find one on MakeupAlley to try out first, and I am in love. They are great quality and the popular Orgasm shade is perfect for almost any skin tone. It is a light pink color with small gold flecks and it's absolutely gorgeous. I will be purchasing my next NARS blush in the new year but haven't decided on a color yet. I'm thinking about Deep Throat or Super Orgasm but only time will tell.

-- if you're looking for some great make-up brushes but don't want to spend a lot of money, look no further than E.L.F! As long as you stick to the studio line (black brushes) the quality is excellent. I love this powder brush to apply my NARS blush. It's light enough to apply just the right amount of color. The shape is so unique and perfect for contouring.

-- this is a great face scrub that I love to use once a week. I apply it in the shower and leave it on for a few minutes, then just rinse it off. The scrub has small beads in it that exfoliate your skin a little more than a daily cleanser would. But it is quite coarse, so I recommend only using it once a week. I then follow up with my Clinique 3 step skincare post-shower. Everything together leaves my skin clear, toned, and so smooth.
