I am such a procrastinator. I really should be studying and preparing for finals, but instead I’m blogging about makeup products that aren’t going to help me get that A+ I really want.

Damn you, makeup. Damn you.

Mac’s Face & Body Foundation ($33): This foundation is heaven sent. It’s a water based foundation that looks so natural on the skin and photographs beautifully. Granted, you have to shake the bottle vigorously to get an uniform consistency but the final result is worth the work. This can be used as a sheer/barely-there wash, or in layers for a more full coverage look. I love that you can use it on your body to cover veins or even out tan lines (guilty!) without it transferring to your clothes. This beautiful baby was the foundation I used on my wedding day. 

Wet N Wild’s SPF Bronzer in Bikini Contest ($4.99-Limited Edition): If you’ve been a follower for some time, you know I LOVE Wet N Wild products. It seems like at least one of their items creeps into my favorites every month. This bronzer is super soft and easy to blend. I love that it’s super big and brush friendly. To top it off, it has an SPF of 15…which I learned in my oncology class protects from 93% of UVA/UVB rays. Thank you, Wet N Wild! 

Loreal’s Voluminous Waterproof Carbon Black Mascara($8.50): I love this mascara with all of my heart. I previously made a post with my favorite waterproof mascaras, and this one made the cut. I actually recently bumped it up, beating Givenchy.

ROC Deep Wrinkle Retinol Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 ($19.99): Mom bought me this from Costco a while back, and I have been using it ever since. An SPF of 30 gives the skin the most protection at 97% (again, according to my oncology class) so it’s the best you can use on your face. 

Inglot Blush Brush 15BJF ($26): I bought this brush at the Makeup Show in LA a few months ago. This brush has a wooden handle and goat hair. And let me tell you, goat hair is super soft. 

Revlon’s Lip Butter in Sweet Tart ($6.49): It’s no secret I’m in love with these lip butters. They are so easy to apply and feel so nice on the lips. This month I found myself reaching for a bright but sheer pink. To see my swatch and to read my full review, click here.
