A soft flush of color.

Most traditional blushes can sometimes seem flat on the skin, but these are quite unique. Their hand-made Ambient Lighting powders are fused together with soft, beautiful pigments to deliver an airbrushed and multidimensional look to the cheek area.

This formula by Hourglass is by far one of my favorites. They are extremely lightweight and create the perfect flush on my skin, blending seamlessly without looking patchy or flat.

The way these are poured into the pan is quite unique as well, as no two look alike, which is an extremely special touch from a makeup brand in general. You feel like you are receiving something so luxe and unique... and might I add that the packaging isn't too shabby either ;-)

The quality of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes are bar none, which have in turn created me into a loyal fan! I can't wait to get my hands on a few more shades.

Life Savers!!!!

Before my introduction to Beautylish, I used all sorts of brushes which I just used and used, until they couldn't be used any more. Then off they went to the trash and a replacement came into my life. Little did I know that something called a 'Brush Guard' would save my brushes from the inevitable cycle they were in.

These little miracles are made from a breathable polyester material that allows my brushes to retain their shape while drying. I can use them while I'm drying my brushes upside down on my brush tree or while they dry flat on a towel. These are extremely convenient and have saved me so much money on brush replacements.

The 'Brush Guards' are a must have, durable and stretch to fit over the unique shapes of all my brushes.

Convenient life savers is what they truly are :-)

The best clean of your life!

I have fallen head over heels for a cleanser! It may sound crazy, but it's so true.

The Ceramic Slip Cleanser really gives my Oily/Combo skin the deep cleanse that it needs. It contains French Green Clay which really helps keep my oils at bay all day long and is one of the few that I have used that actually removes all traces of makeup from my skin and doesn't strip it of it's natural oils.

My skin feels so soft, supple and squeaky clean when I'm done. It has definitely become part of my daily ritual! I use the Tidal Enzyme Water Cream to moisturize afterwards. These are by far a great pairing!

Quenched Skin in a jar!

I have really Oily/Combo skin that tends to get a bit dehydrated throughout the year and I am always looking for moisturizers to actually quench my skin without being too heavy.

Because I am quite Oily, specially in my T-Zone, I truly can not handle creams and lotions that are a bit thicker or leave the skin feeling sticky or oily.

This Enzyme Water Cream has been such an AMAZING product!

It is packed with fruit enzymes to help gently exfoliate my skin and Hyaluronic Acid to intensely hydrate it without leaving my skin feeling oily or greasy at all. I feel like my skin stays hydrated for longer periods of time, which is what I truly need.

My skin ends up looking really refreshed, plumped and smooth which also makes for great makeup application ;-)

I think I'm gonna have to start stocking up soon, because I don't know what I'm gonna do once I start running out, LoL!

Go Big or Go Home!

This brush is extremely well-made. The handle fits perfectly in my hand for great control and is not uncomfortable at all. I love utilizing it with all of my loose powders for setting my foundation.

I also love to utilize this brush for bronzer, as this is just a bit too big for me when trying to apply blush products. It offers me great product distribution and diffuses powders on my skin so evenly. Bronzers just glide on with ease, giving me a little more of a natural glow.

The goat bristles that this brush is made with are extremely soft and comfortable on the skin. They give such a luxurious feel when you use it. Almost like a cloud touching your skin.

I absolutely love this brush and can't seem to go a day without it!

Soft and glamorous

I had never purchased a pair of Velour Lashes before, so when I first ordered these I was not sure what to expect.

These are by far the softest and prettiest lashes I have ever worn in my life! They give your eyes just the right amount of drama without being too intense. They wisp out ever so slightly but beautifully and really provide you with just the right amount of glamour... perfect for any eye look!

I absolutely love that the band on these lashes is invisible and really makes them easy to wear with or without eyeliner and are not heavy or uncomfortable.

The criss cross pattern of the mink hairs mimic the look of natural lashes, so you can really play these off as the real thing ;-)

I highly recommend these lashes to anyone looking for a touch of drama. If you are interested in something a bit more natural, the styles 'Flash It' and 'Doll Me Up' are great choices as well.

Healthy looking skin all day long!

How can you ever go wrong with anything by Tom Ford! This man is a genius and his products are amazing!

Aside from this palette being so esthetically BEAUTIFUL, this blush is by far the best I personally have ever used. I can apply this blush at 6 in the morning and it is still visible on my skin by the time I get home at 6 in the evening.

This blush has such a luxurious and buttery feel and is extremely blendable. The shade 'Paradise Lust' is so flattering on my medium/tan skin, but not only is the blush amazing, the highlighter is to die for!

This pairing really makes for such a luminous sun kissed glow that will flatter all skin tones, and having them all in one compact... how much better can it get?!

Clean, Neat and Organized

This brush holder is the best! I have so many brushes and organizing them always seems to be a struggle.

Rather than sitting them in cups or jars on my desk, I decided to purchase the roundabout and it was one of the best purchases I've made.

I already own some of their brush trees and thought that this spinning stand would be perfect for storage... boy was I right! I am able to store all of my brushes on the roundabout after I have washed and dried them and when I need to use them, I can reach them all with ease. Just spin, grab and use.

Aside from being so functional, it looks so beautiful displayed on my desk.

If you are needing a little organization in your life, try this out. You won't be disappointed ;-)

Dark Circles... Not here!

This concealer has definitely become my all time favorite ever since the first time I used it.

I had never really used the Kevyn Aucoin line until this concealer was gifted to me about a year ago, and now I just can't get enough! It has a creamy, thin consistency that delivers medium to full coverage in one swipe.

This concealer has definitely taken the place of my Tarte Shape Tape, as Shape Tape tends to dry out my under eyes quite a bit. The only downside to this concealer is that it does oxidize a little bit and dries quickly, so be sure to purchase a lighter shade and work fast when you are applying.

I am in my late 30s and have a small amount of fine lines around my under eye area. This concealer doesn't crease on me at all throughout the entire day and covers up my dark circles beautifully.

I apply a small amount to the darkest parts of my under eyes and blend it out with a damp mini beauty blender, which I absolutely love using to blend out my concealer. I then set it with my Becca Under Eye Brightening Setting Powder and I'm ready to go.

It is so effortless and the end results are amazing! You have got to try it ;-)

Perfect skin in a compact!

Don't let the name fool you. This illuminating finishing powder doesn't make your skin look shiny, glittery or iridescent at all. This truly just gives your skin the softest, healthiest, most radiant glow of your life.

It goes without saying that Tom Ford's formulas are always luxurious and amazing, but he really hit a home run with this one. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the applicator brush that this powder comes with, but it does a good job for touch-ups on the go.

I have used this powder on top of some of my regular foundations like the YSL All Hours foundation, the Dior Flash foundation, and the Tom Ford Waterproof foundation/concealer and no matter which one I use it with, it just leaves my skin with the most flattering finish. Everything just seems to glide on so seamlessly over top of this powder. Bronzers, highlighters and blushes all just blend so beautifully.

Whenever I use this powder my skin truly looks poreless and flawless.

I do not have the best skin. I have old acne scarring and very large pores, and this powder leaves me with an airbrushed finish every time. I absolutely love it!
