Holy grail body lotion.

I've never been one to care about moisturizing my body. But I've always applied lotion after showers just because I thought I should. I never consistently used a body lotion, and never felt any difference in my skin.
But now I've found something that I have repurchased, and will continue to repurchase. I love the Dove visible effects body lotion.

First off, this smells AMAZING. If they made a purfume in this scent, I would buy it. It smells very clean and fresh.

It also leaves my skin feeling plump and moisturized for over 24 hours. 

I love applying this, and it makes my dry skin feel hydrated.

Cream Blush Brush.

I have been a lover of cream blush for a long while. I love the natural glowy finish that it gives.
But I had been applying it with my fingers, simply because I couldn't find a brush that applied it the way I liked. Applying cream blush with fingers is fine, but I sometimes find that it can get patchy or wipe away my foundation.
But this brush has chaged everything.

This is the Real Techniques Stippling Brush. 

I love everything about it. 

The density of this brush is perfection.

The white bristles pick up the perfect amount of product, while the black bristles blend it out flawlessly.

I even love the thickness of this brush (despite that it's a hassle to pack in my kit for clients), it has a nice weight and feels nice in my hands. 

And the long ferril makes this brush so easy to clean without worrying too much about getting water into it.

I love this brush.

Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.

Guys, I have found something that makes my hair very, very happy.

I usually have very dry and frizzy hair.

This I am shampoo and conditioner makes my hair SO soft and shiney. It makes me dry hair feel moisturized and healthy. 

For the first time I can wear my natural hair texture (and use no heat!) without my hair becoming a big frizzy mess throughout the day. My hair stays smooth and soft all day.

Even when it's humid!

And it smells AMAZING. 

But the best part is that these only cost about 3 CHF each. 

I will definately be repurchacing this duo over and over.

Tea Tree Oil - My new best friend.

For the past two months, I have been mixing in 4 drops of tea tree oil with my facial moisturizer morning and night.
AND IT HAS CHANGED MY SKIN DRAMITICALLY.

This little bottle of miracles has cleared up 90% of my breakouts. And now I cannot live without it.

(I still get hormonal breakouts, but I don't think anything could stop those little devils from coming.)

I highly recommend you try this.

Lash glue war.

I feel like I've tried (struggled with) every lash glue on the market. 

I seemed to have a problem with every one. Too watery, too difficult to get onto the lashes, never gets tacky...there was always something to complain about. 

But I've finally found the perfect lash glue for me. And now I can wear lashes whenever da heck I want.

This beauty is the Revlon Precision Lash 

Adhesive. 'The one.'

Pros:

-Drugstore (great price AND easy to find!)

-Dries clear (also comes in a dark formula)

-Easy brush application 

-Gets tacky quickly

-Stays in place all day

Cons: 

-After a few months, some dried up glue collects around the opening

What lash glue do you love?

-Alysa 

Liquid liner - Subtle Color.

My newest love affair is with liquid liner. 

Since I have discovered the KIKO liners, I have been loving using different colors for my cat winged liner.

What I love about the KIKO liners, is that they are still deep and subtle colors that can be suitable for everyday, while adding something extra to an eye look.

These have a gorgeous metallic finish and amazing staying powder.

They don't smudge AT ALL.

I highly recommend these. 

I will definately be buying more colors.

Lashes for all occasions.

In my opinion, every woman needs to have a pair of half lashes on hand at all times. I consider them to be my 'secret weapon'. They give a dramatic look to the eyes, without the obvious over-the-top false lash look.They are the easiest lashes to apply, and keep in place all day (or night). I love these for all occasions, I love them for myself and my clients. All you need is a good lash glue, and these lashes can be popped on in minutes.

My two favorite pairs are the ardelle #301 and #318. I even wore #301 on my wedding day. I can't recommed these enough.
