Real Girl Beauty Review

I'll admit it.  I'm a beauty product junkie.  I'm an easy sale, but at this point I'm very selective with what I actually need which in reality is probably nothing.  But the thrill of the purchase of a great beauty product is still exhilarating.

I love InStyle's Best Beauty Products issue.  There are a lot of products that are new and fun to try, there are some that win year after year and should and I'm sure there are beauty editors that buy their product's spot on the top beauty product list. 

Now, I do realize that this is not the issue you would have seen on our new stands in America, but shout out to Jennifer Aniston  who is my personal beauty icon.  I swear she's right  - Giorgio Armani foundation is the best, Nars Orgasm blush and Laguna Beach bronzer are the most perfect blush/bronzer duo known to man and new product on the list that supposedly she swears by is YSL Lip Gloss Golden #2.  It does seem extra special and it should be for $30.

This was my list of beauty must tries followed by my personal review of the product -

-Mac eye pencil in smoulder and Mac lip pencil in spice = terrible, too hard, actually hurt to put on = being returned.  I actually like Mally eye pencils and gel liner like Cavier by Smashbox.

- Big winner - stand out - thinking about ordering a case of it product = St Tropez Gradual Tan moisturizing lotion (Sephora or Ulta).  OMG, it's fantastic.  It smells seriously divine and that is something I've never said about a self tanner.  I can't wait to put it on again tomorrow.  And I stand by the golden rule, "tan fat looks better than pale fat".

- Christian Dior - 5 Colouer Eye Shadows - yes, they are pricey but they are so perfect (Jennifer swears by them too!)

Well, I'm all made up with no where to go today, so I better get back to work so I can afford my beauty habit.  Join me in not being afraid to try something new, even if it is just a temporary fix.
