Top 10 Tried & True Beauty Favorites

We all have those beauty products that we keep coming back to. Your favorite moisturizer, mascara, or foundation that you know work for you. I always like to try new products, but not many keep me coming back time and time again. These are some of my holy grail products that I have repurchased over and over. Let me know what your tried and true favorites are!

1. Pond's Cold Cream: Does this make me sound like an old lady? I've been using Pond's Cold Cream to remove my eye makeup since I first started wearing makeup. That's what my mom has always used so thats what I use too. I've tried a lot of other makeup removers, but nothing takes off stubborn eyeliner and mascara like Pond's Cold Cream!

2. Olay Complete All Day Moisturizer with Sunscreen: I use Olay moisturizer every single day. I love to do a deeper night time moisturizer at night, but I swear by Olay morning or night. I think it's the best moisturizer to use in the morning before my makeup. It gives me the perfect amount of moisture without making my skin oily.

3. Revlon ColorStay Whipped Creme Foundation: This is a newer product for me, but I absolutely love this foundation. I don't re-purchase foundations very often, but I'm on my second bottle of this one! I'd say it's medium to full coverage and it gives you a beautiful natural finish.

4. Covergirl CG Smoothers Concealer: This is an oldie but a goodie. I use it to conceal pimples and any other blemishes on my face. The coverage is perfect for me and it stays on well. Not to mention it's cheap!

5. MAC Pro Longwear Concealer: Unfortunately, I inherited my family's dark, puffy under-eyes. I don't think I will ever find a product that will make that go away, but this one definitely helps! It's creamy and easy to apply, gives great coverage, and doesn't dry out my under-eyes.

6. Maybelline "Lasting Drama" Gel Eyeliner: I've always been an eyeliner junkie, and I am totally obsessed with gel liner. I wear eyeliner pretty much every day, and gel eyeliner is my absolute favorite! It gives you such a glamorous look and amps of any makeup look.

7. Maybelline Great Lash BIG Mascara: It doesn't give you major volume or length, but this is my favorite day to day mascara. It's perfect for a natural look.

8. MAC Eyeshadow in Soft Brown: I haven't had this shadow for a super long time, but ever since I bought it I've probably used it every day. It's the perfect warm brown for the crease and it blends out amazingly.

9. Stila Eyeshadow in Kitten: This shadow is the most gorgeous champagne color and it looks amazing all over the lid. I love to use it for neutral shadow looks. It's a great shade for day-time and night-time.

10. Sephora Collection Glossy Gloss in Rusted Rose: I'm kind of picky about lip gloss- it can't be too sticky, or too thick, or too glittery. I only have one shade of this lip gloss, so I can't speak to the whole line, but the shade I do have is perfection. It's the perfect consistency, feels smooth on your lips, and isn't too sticky. I also love this color because it just adds a little boost of color to your natural lips.

  1. I love Pond's Cold Cream! I started using it too because that's what my mom used! I've never used anything better :)

  2. Do they sell Pond's cold cream at drug stores? I didn't see it at CVS. I usually use Clinique make-up remover, but I thought I would try something else. For some reason the Clinique product has been making my skin oily after application.

    1. They should have it at drugstores, but I usually get mine at Target. I suggest checking there!
