So, Missglamorazzi on YouTube did a recent tag video of her 11 most reached for items. I wanted to do one and honestly, I had a pretty hard time limiting it to 11, but here they are! **Note: these are not in any specific order because I love them all so much :)
1)
Benefit R.S.V.P. creaseless cream shadow/liner : I love this stuff! It's very comparable to MAC's Vintage Selection, but that was limited edition. This is perfect alone or as a base under any look. I use this all the time when I'm running out the door going to class- it's a life saver!
2) MAC Malt Lipstick (Satin finish) : I love this color because it's like my perfect nude with a slight bit of color! I wear this alone or with a shiny gloss on top and I'm good to go! I definitely recommend this one!
3)
NARS Rose Gritane Lipgloss : I bought this during the holidays for my mom, as she is a NARS-aholic, and she loved it! I saw how great it looked and picked one up for myself. Honestly, the reason why I love it is because it is so buildable! You can have a very sheer red or a BAM-yeah-I-have-red-lips red! I love it!
4)
Benefit High Beam : I love this!!! I have naturally pink cheeks and because of this, I wear small amounts of blush, but this really helps! It brightens wherever you use it (I use it on my cheekbone) and provides a gorgeous glow. For me, it really compliments my already pink cheeks. I don't go a day without this!
5)
Too Faced Natural Eye Palette : This is my favorite eye palette! I've done a whole blog post about it because it's so amazing! The colors are absolutely gorgeous and you can easily go from day to night :)
6) Sheercover Extra Length Mascara in Black/Brown : I have been using this stuff for years! It lengthens every single lash and never clumps! It's got an awesome formula that doesn't ever seem to dry out :) I recommend a lot of Sheercover products... do you guys want a review on the like bazillions of Sheercover products I have? Comment below!
7) Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow in Bone : I love this when I want either a simple base or a highlight color for my brow bone. Either way, it looks great and as you can see... I've hit pan on it and NEED to buy a new one!
8)
Sheercover Base Perfector : Another Sheercover product :) This is their version of a face primer and I gotta say...it's amazing! It makes your skin feel silky smooth and makes your foundation glide on so much better. It also helps a bit with controlling oils and also with making makeup last. It's a white color, so it's very comparable to Smashbox's Photofinish Light primer! I love this and if you guys want, I can do a review on this and many other Sheercover products, just let me know in the comments below!
9) TIE! So I wanted to include a perfume, but couldn't decide between my Chanel N 19 and my Ralph Lauren Romance. The Chanel one is so classic, but so is the RL perfume! I love both brands, but usually prefer my RL perfumes over my Chanel perfumes. They both have a feminine undertone, so they are very wearable, without being floraly like omg-she-just-walked-through-a-flowerbed! Definitely recommend you try these scents! Let me know which one you guys like better or just tell me your favorite perfume in the comments below :)
10) Aussie Mega Hairspray : I love this stuff because not only does it hold all day and night, but it smells fabulous! I've never had a fruity hairspray before this one! It makes you smell like fruity and fun and I love it :) It also holds so well- hence the "Mega" on the label. I used this for all my highschool dances and my curls lasted forever (which was amazing because my hair NEVER holds curls). Truly, and amazing product!
11)
L'Oreal Sublime Glow Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion : This is my absolute favorite self-tanning lotion- it's inexpensive and it works! I look brown after using it- NOT orange :) I've written an entire review on it, so if you haven't read that, go check it out! I love this stuff so much and definitely recommend you guys try it!
So these were my most reached for items, at least for the time being! I hope you guys enjoyed this post and leave any questions, comments, or blog post requests in the comments below! Or e-mail me at

I love this dress! It's so comfortable and it's very inexpensive :) You can't go wrong with Aerie, but I could say the same thing for Jimmy Choo <3 Yes, these are very expensive shoes, but when you walk as much as I do, a comfy shoe like this is worth it! I wear these whenever I want a casual wedge that looks cute with anything. As for makeup with this outfit, I wore very natural eye with a hint of navy eyeliner. I wore Mac's NEW blush form their Surf, Baby! collection (I think it was about $30, but my friend works for MAC so she picked it up for me... love you Leighton!) I wore a very natural lip- Stila's Honeysuckle. All together, it was kind of an effortless day. I did a little bit of NARS Laguna bronzer, but not that much.
