Friday Favorites: Make Up

My absolute favorite moment from this week came from Hannah but it was not caught on camera, so it won't make for a very exciting blog post.  So this week I am going to explain my favorite moment and then I will share my favorite make up products for Friday Favorites.  Linking up again with: Momfessionals, A Little Bit of Everything, and Grace and Love.

My favorite moment from the week:

Hannah has started to do this jumping thing sort of like a little frog.  When you are holding her up and she is standing, she crouches down like a frog and then starts to jump.  It is too cute!  On Wednesday when I got home from work, my mom was holding her and she got so excited she started to squeal and do her frog jump.  She normally is happy to see me and greets me with big smiles when I get home, but this was a whole new level of excited.  When I went out of the room to put my purse and the mail down she cried.  I loved it!! (not the crying part)

I am going to do my best to get pictures and video of the frog jumping and a few other new sounds and things Hannah has done this past week over the weekend and share them next week.  It feels like she has done so many new things this week!

Now onto my make up favorites!!

As I have shared before, I am a product junkie.  One of my absolute favorite things to buy is make up.  I love reading blogs about other peoples "must have" make up items and watching YouTube video tutorials on applying make up.  It is so dangerous though!  Once I get in the make up mood and start focusing my blog reading on that, I immediately start filling up carts online at Sephora, Nordstrom, etc...  Most of the time I never end up actually purchasing anything though.  Make up is an expensive habit!

One day when we buy our first home, I hope for a big vanity area that I can organize all my make up and display it in acrylic storage containers.  Maybe something like this.  :)

 A girl can dream!

Anyway, today I wanted to share my favorite make up products.  When I consider something a favorite when it comes to make up, it means I love it so much I would probably be close to tears if it got discontinued.  Not that that has every happened before :)

1.  Paula Dorf Sweep Away

My first favorite is actually a make up remover.  I put this at the top of my list since I always have at least two unopened ones in my medicine cabinet at once (just in case), then one in use and another in my travel bag.  I have tried TONS of other make up removers and nothing comes close to this one.  It doesn't burn or irritate my eyes at all and gets pretty much all my eye make up off the first time.  I typically stock up on these during Beauty.com's sales.

2.  Urban Decay Naked Eye Shadow Palette

I have the original Naked palette and think it is great when creating an every day natural eye (I use the first color on the left and the fifth color from the left every single day) and also great for creating a more dramatic eye for going out at night.  I have had this for a pretty long time and haven't run out of any colors - so definitely worth the $50.  I would love to get the Naked 2 and 3 palettes one day!

3.  MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved 

I have been using this eye pencil for YEARS!!  I think it stays perfectly on my upper and lower water lines without any issue.  When I am going for a more dramatic eye liner look I absolutely love my Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner in black ink but for every day use, I can't live without my MAC!

4.  Mary Kay Lash Love Mascara 

I have tried lots of different mascaras and for awhile I fell in love with a Chanel mascara that was just too expensive to keep buying.  Then a saw a video on YouTube with rave reviews for this Mary Kay mascara and I thought I would give it a try.  I absolutely loved it and think it works exactly like the much more expensive Chanel mascara (and half the price!!).  There is something about the brush that just makes the application so easy!

5.  Anastasia Perfect Brow Pencil

I am relatively new to filling in my brows but this product seriously makes it so easy!!  I was always afraid to try filling in my brows in fear that they would look fake and drawn on.  I think this pencil helps fill them in and make them still look very natural in the process.

6.  Laura Geller Bronze-n-Brighten in Regular

I have always had a hard time with bronzers but this one I really like.  The different shades all blend really nicely together and it isn't sparkly.  I have also found that I can use it year round and it adjust nicely to my skin tone whether I am pale or tan.

I would love to know what some of your "must have" make up products?  I am always on the hunt for good under eye concealers and bb creams - any favorites?  Has a product being discontinued ever brought you to near tears?  

Have a great weekend!!
