Holy Grail Beauty Products

You all know I try to do beauty/hair posts at least once per week & I thought I’d do a full re-cap of my Holy Grail products that I’ve emptied & re-purchased. I know most of you have seen me use these products & mention them frequently over the past year but I wanted to share the products that constantly stick around. 
 
I LOVE trying to beauty products.. it is kind of sad how much I love it! We have Sephora/Ulta bags ALL over our house, lol. In fact, last night we had to run errands and I got so many new products to try! (You can see those on my Snapchat: emilyanngemm). I’ll snap review those products soon, btw! One of them is a lipstick that is a nude/light pink & holy cow- it is gorgeous!
 
1. Bobbi Brown Blush (These are very pigmented & wear SO well! I have two pinks that are amazeeee!)
2. Laura Mercier Loose Powder (Ob.Sessed. I have a small travel size of this too because I am crazy about it! Great for combo/oily — and perfect for baking- I bake under my eyes.)
3. Wet Brush (What I use to de-tangle my hair – it doesn’t hurt or damage your hair!)
4. Real Techniques BB (Much more affordable & just as good as the Beauty Blender)
5. Sigma Flat Top Kabuki (I own TWO of these because it is THE best foundation brush.. so that when one is drying I still have the other. Its great if you need fuller coverage.)
6. Smashbox Primer (I love this exact formula the best – I’ve tried them all! Nothing compares – leaves the smoothest texture.)
7. Almay Eye Makeup Remover (I’ve been using this one for over 4 years – it is the best! It is oily but I like the oil in it – makeup literally wipes right off in a swipe.)
9. Alterna Heat Protectant (helps held my curls in for longer – I was given a sample & loved it so much I bought the full size.)
11. Estee Lauder Double Wear (I wear dessert beige. My beauty routine on my sidebar –>.)
12. Anastasia Brow Pomade (I love all of her products. The threading lady took off half of my eyebrow.. ouch! and this is my go-to product for faking it!)
13. Mac Fix+ (Really good if you are dry! It will keep your makeup looking fresh & alive – not powdery. I spray it on my foundation brush also bc it has glycerin in it & helps makeup stay longer.)
14. Bed Head Massive Shine Hairspray (I like the formula & the smell!)
15. T3 Micro Curling Iron (I use the 1″ curling iron attachment, I use the 1″ wand too – both are amazing!)
 
PS. I forgot something… THIS bronzer is EVERYTHING. (No, there’s no #10 bc the zero was not cute!)

  8. Great picks!!! I have been using that Laura Mercier powder for a month or so now and I love it!!! My favorite part about is that I don't look like a ghost in pictures anymore haha. 🙂 I'm going to try that Smashbox primer when my current one runs out. Thank you for sharing!! 🙂

  25. What color pinks do you have in the blush? Do you use the heat protectant and the texture spray you mentioned in another post together? Do you like the ambient bronzer or the MAC bronzer better? Thanks so much.

  28. Ok, so I want to try everything! One thing I've recently been concerned about is using product with very unnatural ingredients. I've been using bobbi, chanel, etc for my whole life but now not sure if I should just stick with this type of make up (try estee lauder) or switch to like beauty counter? i'm worried about beauty counter products not giving me enough coverage. Have you tried any "natural" products? Would love your feedback! xo
