1. Cover Girl Aquasmooth Foundation & Fresh Complexion Concealer - CVS - I have used plenty of high end foundations and concealers and due to break outs/high shine/oily skin, I always go back to covergirl.

2. St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse - http://www.sttropeztan.com/ and they just added a new line of Bronzer Blushes and Powders!!  Def checking it out!

3. Kiss My Face Moisture Shaving Cream - wholefoods - I read about this in a magazine a few years back and had to try it.  It is silky smooth and comes in a variety of fresh scents (my favs are key lime and mint).  Razors glide like a dream.

4. MAC Lustre Lipstick in Sweetie - MAC - This is my go to lip color.  It has taken me years to find the perfect color and after Clinique AND Estee Lauder discontinued colors I swore by, I then spent two more years trying to find that perfect color again. Lustre Lipstick is smooth, easy to apply and rich in color.  Please don't go away anytime soon!!

5. Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Extreme - CVS - I don't think lip plumpers do anything miraculous, so I never spend any money on them (lip venom etc.), but I do love the cinnamon burning sensation and the pinkish color it temporarily adds to my lips, which is why I have no problem dropping $6 on this.  Guilt-free.

6. Anastasia Brow Gel in Clear and Tinted, Brow Powder - Sephora - I'm currently obsessed wtih having polished brows, so along with daily plucking I clean them up with a little fill ins and hold them in place with a little gel.  

7. Jaqua Buttercream Frosting Lotion - b-glowing.com - I love cupcakes, so much that I love to rub it on me.  Okay that may seem wierd, but this is too delicious and I love getting a whif of it throughout the day.  It's thick and creamy, hydrates the skin and leaves a little shine.  Cupcakes anyone?

8. Embryolisse 24 Hr. Miracle Cream - See my post on this baby that I wrote not too long ago.  Will forever be obsessed.

9. Lip Smacker in Dr. Pepper - CVS - I know I'm not in middle school anymore, but this chapstick will forever be a personal fav.  I love that it moisturizers my lips, gives them a little color when i'm on the go and doesn't break the bank!

10. Leaf and Rusher TX Lips - leafandrusher.com - A delicious anti-aging lip therapy that exfoliates softens and enhances the beauty of your lips.  I use this once a week to keep my lip from getting chapped and when they do this is a great remedy.  The tin is small and the price is high, but a little dab is all you need.  I got mine a couple of years ago and still have plenty to go around.  A  great xmas gift.

11. Philosophy Amazing Grace Perfume - sephora - I love the smell of this clean powdery perfume and the fact that it mixes well with my scent is a plus.  A  great perfume that you can wear all year round every day, all day.

12. Jemma Kidd Lip ID Colour Adapt Gloss - Target - A  little goes along way with this gloss, that will either enhance your natural lip color or make your lipstick really pop.  The stain will last for hours and no need to reapply, all you need is a little lip gloss.

13. PSSST Instant Spray Shampoo - CVS - This instant dry shampoo is great.  Doesn't have an overwhelming smell like other dry shampoos I have tried and is easy on the wallet.  Also gives hair a little hold.

14. Maybelline Great Lash Big Mascara - CVS - No need for false lashes ever!  My secret to long lashes is not in one tube of mascara, but two!  Personally I think all mascaras are the same (I have tried alot) and I always go back to drugstore brands and buy two of them.  Apply several coats of each tube and wa la you have big gorgeous lashes that could rival falsies.  (The mascaras, #14 and #17, that I list here have the best brushes in the drugstore brand category.  Both very similar to Bad Gal Lash Mascara by Benefit.)

15. Shu Umera Eye Lash Curler - sephora - Every girl needs an eyelash curler. No and ifs or buts.

16. Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil - CVS - See my post below about this awesome eyeliner that I think beats out Chanel's stick.

17. Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara - CVS - See #14

18. NARS Blush in Orgasm and Desire - sephora - I'm a big blush person.  Without it my skin feels drab and pasty.  This is my morning pick me up and I use Orgasm in the summer time when I've got that tan glow going on and then Desire in the winter time when I know I can get away with rosy cheeks.

I have read about this product in several publications recently, as well as Rachel Zoe's website.  Apparently it makes your hair frizz free and glamorous.  I go through beauty product phases all the time and I can feel a hair obsession phase coming on, where I will want a life changing hair cut and products to go wtih it, including this.  I usually use Kerastase hair serum, but this may be worth a shot especially if Rachel swears by it and says it will change your life.  It is a little pricey at $41, but since it is a serum you won't be using a lot everytime you put it in your hair (a dime size amount is enough), so it should last you for up to a year.  I'll be picking up a bottle next month along with my last Send My Way (see below) and I'll give you the verdict.  Stay tuned!  You can purchase it at www.drugstore.com Moroccan Oil - Drugstore.com
