So to start off this blog I wanted to share some of my all time favorite beauty products that if I can only take a few things with me when I travel, these are my necessities. I did not include a concealer because I don't have a specific favorite but I always have that with me as well. All of the products bellow can be bought online or in the Sephora store.

1. The Beauty Blender

 This little sponge is a foundation and concealer applying magician; it blends everything flawlessly and makes the finished product look airy instead of cakey. Warning: It says to dampen the sponge before, do that, but wait for it to dry so that no water is left on the sponge before using.

2. Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer 

It has the word chocolate in the name for a reason, it smells exactly like a bar of chocolate!! If that aspect doesn't sell you it is also a great bronzer especially for contouring.

3. Lancome Definicils Precious Cells Mascara 

I am all about mascara, if you don't feel like putting on any other type of make-up it would be perfectly fine because mascara is that awesome. That being said, I have tried countless mascaras ranging from drug store brands to high end brands and this one is by far the best. Lancome mascara has a cult following for a reason!

4. Aquaphor 

All of you EOS or Burts Bee's fans I understand the appeal of both a cute container and the tingly sensation but Aquaphor is the only lip care out there that actually heals and softens your lips permanently. I use this every night before I go to bed and couldn't live without it. This is also available at drug stores, yay!

5. Clinique Stay-Matte Foundation

I have gone through multiple different foundations claiming they are matte and yet my face would still be super shiny. This one, on the other hand, stays true to its name.
