Good day divas and fashionistas! I've recently embarked on my newest business/resume endeavor to become a certified make-up artist. This has led me on a never-ending shopping spree for the latest and greatest beauty products. Although the regular browsing through Amazon.com and wish.com have left me pretty satisfied, I'm a HUGE "tester" girl, and there's nothing worse than purchasing a product you won't use.

5 awesome products
Before diving into ipsy's world of beauty, they conduct an assessment on each member to find out what things you'd like to see in your bag. Their products range from glosses and lipsticks, foundations and concealers, and even face masks and cleansers. The high-end diva can also rest assured that her favorite MAC product could be part of her bag one month! There's no skimping on products here. Based on my answers,. here were my picks for the month:
White Lavender Body Lotion
I initially tossed this lotion behind my favorite Victoria's secrets and Bath and Body Works favorites. But once I decided to try it, it easily moved to the front of my dresser, and at the top of my skincare routine. With hints of lemon in addition to the lavender, this smell good lotion also has a light feel, while also maintaining moisture needed for the harsh winds of the fall/winter seasons.
JonteBlu Lip Liner
No dry lip liners here! I've never used creamy lip liners before, but they are easily being added onto my growing MUA list! The creaminess doesn't clump or break (yes, I've had enough uses to test it out. Don't judge me), and it allows you to pack on your gloss, balm, or lipstick, without worrying about coloring outside of the lines.
"It Cosmetics"-Your Skin But Better
I've heard great things about the revolutionary new make-up brand, that basically enhances your natural skin. This full-coverage foundation, covers all of those pesky pores and lines, without getting too caked on. I wasn't lucky enough to get my skin color to test it out, but I'm sure this color can be used to a contour.
Tarte Deluxe Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush
Blush, an often forgotten staple in my make-up application, was instantly revived after receiving this product. The dusty rose color (affectionately named Feisty), provided just enough rosiness I needed without the clown effect I normally achieve when applying blush. And it literally lasts ALL day! Score!
Trestique' Mini Brow Pencil
I don't know about anyone else, but brows are tough for me. I mean sure, we've all heard the "sisters not twins" mantra, but some days I can't seem to get it right. This brow pencil really helped me get the shaping together! The angled tip was just what I needed as a novice brow drawer. Thank you Trestique Gods!
