Happy Friday loves! I know it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted and I am SO sorry! My son has has the worst sinus infection so I was being a dedicated mommy! The good news is, he’s finally getting back to his old self! I don’t have a ton of items this week, but the ones I am about to show you are slowly becoming holy grail status for me!  This week I have been throwing on a light foundation, a highlight and a bold lip and I LOVE it!

Makeup Brushes

Sigma F80 – I have spoken about this brush time & time again. It’s been my go to for applying foundation and it makes my skin look flawless every single time. (And yes, the brush is dirty. I have been using it all week!) I have tried so many other foundation brushes and nothing compares to this one! I highly highly recommend getting your hands on it! Buy Here – $24 (Use code OCT2014 for 10% off!) 

Sigma E46 & E21 – These brushes came into my life a few weeks back and are part of the Sigma Precision Eye kit. I have a few from that kit that I plan on showing you at a later time, but THESE have been outstanding! I have NOT been using these on my eyes – but for my nails! The E46 is supposed to be an inner corner shade and the E21 is a smudge brush. While I’m sure they do a great job on the eye, they do an even BETTER job cleaning up around my cuticle area and skin when I’m swatching. Really awesome brushes and I’m sure they will last longer than the $1 ELF brush I have been using! Buy Here – $16 / $14 (Use code OCT2014 for 10% off!) 

Face

ELF Baked Highlighter in Moonlight Pearls – I have been obsessed with this highlight! You only need the smallest amount and it gives your cheeks such a pretty glow. On top of that, it’s incredibly affordable at only $3! You can’t even beat that! Buy Here – $3

ELF HD Undereye Setting Powder – Another new ELF find! I have been looking for a great undereye setting powder, but didn’t want to pay big bucks for one. Low & behold this amazing gem I found at Target! Sorry for the boring photo, but let’s be real.. it’s a white powder.  It’s what’s inside that counts – And that’s magical fairy unicorns.  It has tiny crystal particles in it but they virtually disappear when you apply it. This powder just makes your eyes look well rested and awake and my concealer does NOT budge! Absolutely loving it! Buy Here – $3
Lips

EOS Lip Balm in Vanilla Mint – Cold weather is upon us and my lips are feeling it! This cute little EOS balm in Vanilla Mint has been a life saver for both my son & I. It hydrates & moisturizes and makes my lips feel so soft. Plus, how adorable is this packaging?! Buy Here – $3

NARS Audacious Lipsticks in Michiyo & Greta – Words can’t even express how madly in love I am with this new lipstick line. If you have not tried the new Audacious lipsticks from NARS, you NEED to. The price tag is a little steep at $32 a pop, but it’s worth it. They’re creamy, highly pigmented and just feel SO nice on the lips. There are 40 shades in the line I believe so you are bound to find a color you love. I’m seriously hooked and I want every single color. But if you multiply 40 x $32.. well.. I don’t even want to know the answer.  Run to Sephora and swatch a few.. I swear you won’t be disappointed! Buy Here – $32

    I like the elf undereye setting powder. I need to try Moonlight Pearls. The NARS lippies are amazing. I’m a fan of the Sigma F88 🙂
