1. Warm Vanilla Sugar Lotion - You will find this amazing lotion at Bath & Body Works. Seriously, the scent is so sweet and great. It's definitely my favorite scent, ever! Bath & Body Works also sells other products with this scent, but the lotion is my fave. It's moisturizing and leaves your skin smelling great all day long! Oh, and if you're a germ freak like I am, you should look into the hand sanitizer they have in this scent, it kills germs and STILL manages to make your hands smell delish!
2. Sleek & Smooth Matrix Hair products - This is by far the best I've used. Now unfortunately, not everyone can use this, but if you have straight hair and you flat iron it frequently (like myself) -this is the stuff to use! It deep cleanses the scalp leaving your hair smelling amazing. It also smooths out split ends and fly aways, and gives your hair a healthy shine. When it comes to conditioning -there's 3 different bottles to choose from. 1-3 just goes by how damaged your hair is. 1-Treat conditioning, which is for fine hair. It just adds shine and softens it. 2- Extra Intense Conditioner, which is for hair with awful split ends, terrible frizz ...seriously, this will help! 3 -Miracle re-constructor, it's for extreme damaged hair. It strengthens hair and protects it from future breakage. It does pretty much what the other two conditioners do, plus more, however you only need to condition once a week with this conditioner. Then I'd suggest blow drying your hair, and it'll blow dry nice and sleek, you'll then notice the amazing shine. Of course before blow drying, you'll need to use STEP 3 of the Sleek & Smooth products. There's two rich and creamy, lotion like, formulas you just squeeze into the palm of your hand and work your way from root to tip. It'll give your hair a nice bounce and look great. If you plan on flat ironing your hair after blow drying, seriously add in STEP 4, the Iron Smoother and the Sealing Serum. It'll reduce frizz and seal split ends, and the serum is light and thin, won't wear the hair down or feel greasy. I love it. The orange-citrus smell is awesome, too.
3. Maybelline Stiletto Lash Mascara -I freaking love this mascara! It took me a long time to find a mascara that I actually like. I think super long eyelashes are sexy, I do tend to wear false lashes on occasion, but sometimes that's too much time and with this mascara, I still get the great look of long, thick, luscious eyelashes. It gives my lashes length, and it separates them giving them a dark, thick coat that lasts all day long. I love it, I seriously recommend it. A good pair of false eyelashes can be pricey, especially if you want good glue -save your money and put it towards this mascara, you won't be let down!
4. Dove Deodorant -I too hate the feeling of prickliness right after you shave -with Dove deodorant, it's silky, smooth conditioning formula leaves your underarms feeling soft all day. Great protection against sweating, and you smell nice all day long. I'm really fond of the Fresh scent, but they all smell nice!
5. CHI Hairspray -I have a lot of hair, it's really thick, too! So I need a hairspray that can keep up with my up-do's and thick hair. I don't want it to feel sticky or extremely hard, pretty hair should feel soft and smooth, CHI hairspray does that for you and has terrific hold! It smells fab, too! It's a salon brand hairspray that you can now pretty much buy in any drug/cosmetic store.
6. L'Oreal Sublime Bronze -So, it's winter time. You can't get a nice glow from the sun, and sometimes you just don't feel like lying in a tanning bed -that's okay! I can never find time to tan, so I turn to this product. I know you're thinking "Fake tanning lotion, I don't want to deal with the orange streaks..." Yeah, I thought that too, but I decided to try it out. I don't get too crazy with it, I apply twice a week, after my shower. It moisturizes your skin so you don't have the wintry dry skin, and it leaves a streak-free glow like you just came back from Cancun. Be sure to blend in well and even, you'll have no streaks at all! It's great if you don't have time to hit up a tanning bed and it's a winter wonderland outside!
7. Guess Marciano Perfume - I'm totally in love with smelling good. I love getting compliments on my perfume and I love collecting the pretty bottles! I got this perfume as a gift from daddy for Christmas. It has become my favorite perfume, ever! It smells so sexy! It has this clean lingering scent that I could never get tired of smelling. I can't go without it! Must have!
8. Cherry Chap stick - A classic. You can never go wrong with the simple cherry chap stick. I love my glosses, but I like to keep it original, especially during the winter season. It soothes chapped lips, gives your lips a cute pink pout, and smells yummy ...seriously, I could sniff cherry chap stick all day, ha ha! I love it, I wear it all year around. You will never catch me without my cherry chap stick!
9. MAC Foundation - A good foundation can be difficult to find. Some don't blend in, doesn't quite match your natural skin tone, rubs off easily, leaves your face feeling greasy, perfume fragrance can cause irritation, etc. I'm totally in love with MAC foundation. It blends in perfectly, MAC offers all kinds of shades for different skin tones, and it doesn't leave your face feeling like it's melting off. It stays on all day and leaves you looking flawless. Warning: it can be expensive, but no one said looking beautiful was cheap!
10. NARS Bronzer - Just a little dab of this onto your bronzer brush and a stroke here and there will give your face a sun-kissed looking glow! It blends beautifully, but again, can be pricey.
There you have it, my top 10 must haves for the moment. I love trying different products, testing them out, experiencing new -so I'll always have something to recommend!
