There are so many items out there when it comes to the beauty industry that it can be overwhelming. This past year I have had a ton of fun learning how to do makeup and dipping my toes into beauty blogging. I confess that I have never really been focused on skincare or makeup, but that has changed and I am definitely seeing the benefits of beautiful skin. When I look good, I feel good! Here are my picks for the best beauty products. Please do share your favorites in comments. I believe you can never have enough beauty products… just don’t tell my husband that!
Beauty Must-Haves for 2018
Check out my picks for beauty products that have transformed my look this year.
Skincare
Milk Moisturizer
Great makeup starts with great skin! If I had to pick ONE product that has changed my skin it’s the milk moisturizer which is included in the Tres Leches skin care kit.
Milk Creme contains 16% natural milk components and moisturizes the driest of skins, leaving you with a youthful glow. With its combination of the alpha-hydroxy lactic acid and vitamins A and E, it gently penetrates the skin surface and helps exfoliate and release dead skin cells. Excellent for dry skin conditions, sunburnt or damaged skin as well as scar tissue and stretch marks. It’s worked wonders on my skin! See what it has done for Cara, founder of Maskcara!
Confession: I never exfoliated my skin before. I was a simple makeup remover wipe girl. Then, I ran into this highly addictive product that has made my skin smoother. I use this three times a week.
These soft, absorbent microfiber washcloths are used to wipe away dirt, oil, and makeup, leaving your skin deep-cleaned without irritation. They leave your skin fresh and rejuvenated with each wash! The Microfiber Cloths work best with Milk Cleanser. Bonus: You get this free when you order the Tres Leches skin care system.
Face
Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot
Since using this primer, my makeup stays on longer and looks smoother.
Cream foundation has changed my makeup application routine forever. I love the filtered look it gives and how dewy and radiant it looks in photos. If you are interested, please let me color match you first so you know your colors. This stuff is amazing!
Urban Decay All Nighter Make Up Setting Spray
I switch off between this and the Maskcara Stay Out There Spray when I want my makeup to stay on much longer.
Eyes
stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner
stila HUGE Extreme Lash Mascara, Black
I complained about my eyeshadow not staying on all day in our beauty group and the ladies recommended this item. So far it hasn’t disappointed me.
Benefit Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Fiber Gel Gimme Brow
Lips
Maybelline Makeup Matte Seductress Lip
Any color in this line stays on all day long!
Buxom Full-On Lip Cream Pink Champagne
Make your lips look bigger, without the lip injections, with this lip gloss.
Tools
This may sound crazy, but I do shave my peach fuzz with the Tinkle eyebrow razor. You would be amazed how much smoother my makeup looks on when I do this. Don’t be ashamed to tinkle your face, ladies!
Makeup brushes
My favorite brushes are the Detail HAC Brush and B Squared Brush. The best part about ordering these brushes is that they have a one year warranty and are double sided!
If you want your makeup to look blended and flawless you need the Perfector Sponge.
For makeup brushes to last and work their best you must get this Restore Brush cleaner that smells like cotton candy!


I have so many other fun products, but I will save them for next time. I may be a makeup junkie now but that’s okay as I am catching up on lost time!
