The gorgeous Melissa over at Pink Lady Beauty tagged me in the Princess Tag! I love, love, love high-end products so this tag is totally for me!
FOUNDATION: I’m not crazy for foundation but I do use Bare Minerals Original SPF Foundation. I think it tends to control the oil on my face the best.
CONCEALER: Honestly, I don’t use much concealer either. I currently have been giving Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil a go around my eyes. I find that it really lightens up the area nicely.
Lighten up.
POWDER: Back to Bare Minerals. Their READY Touch Up Veil Broad Spectrum SPF 15 helps sop up the grease that accumulates on my face. (I sound just like a princess, don’t I?)
BRONZER: Too Faced’s Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer is my favorite hands down. It smells all cocoa-y AND is matte so my sun-kissed glow doesn’t also channel a disco ball.
The top right picture is with flash and bottom without.
BLUSH: Currently it is Benefit’s Hervana. There is something about that pink and purple swirl that makes me happy!
It’s a pinwheel!
HIGHLIGHTER: The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer is seriously pigmented but when used correctly leaves skin with a beautiful shimmery sheen.
Get detained for being cute. Bottom picture is no flash.
EYESHADOW: I love eye shadow. I love my Urban Decay Naked II palette– their eye shadows are smooth like buttah! Bobbi Brown eye shadows come in a close second. They blend beautifully.
In the nude.
EYELINER: Tarina Tarantino’s Eye Dream Hyperline goes on smooth and is super pigmented. Even on the most humid day, it does not slide off. And the colors are gorgeous! For a cheaper ($9!!!) yet high end version, Sephora Collection Contour Eye Pencil 12hr Wear Waterproof stays put all day with color vibrancy that puts any other HD eye product to shame.
Draw the line.
Mascara: Benefit They’re Real Mascara pumps lashes up to 40s starlet status.
Lash out!
Lip Pencil: I rarely use a lip pencil so I keep Too Faced’s Borderline Anti-feathering Lip Pencil on hand. It is a clear wax pencil that keeps borders clean and it won’t alter your lip color.
LIPSTICK I have way too many to list BUT my one high-end favorite brand is Lipstick Queen. Sinners are 90% pigment and they are loaded with shea butter making for super moisturizing, super saturated color.
Love the bag, the tube, the box!
LIP GLOSS: Ummm…. I have been on a lipstick kick but Clinique Chubby Sticks offer up good glossy color.
BROW PRODUCT: Benefit’s Gimme Brow is a gel base formula that goes on with a short mascara brush. I received testers when I had the Lash Bash a few weeks ago and kept the lighter color for myself. It is a little light but if I work it right, it’s great!
MISCELLANEOUS PRODUCT: This is not high end but I will pretend (just like a good princess) and sing the praises of NYX HD Eye Shadow Base. No one needs to know it is budget!
NAIL POLISH: Sorry, guys, but I refuse to buy any more nail polish over $10 a bottle. I find the quality to be worse than the cheaper drugstore brands. I have to save my money somewhere.
The Pretty (Pretty) Princesses I Tag Are:
And please do the tag! We share the crown. It is only good manners!
Keep Calm & Primp On! XOXO

I need to get some Lipstick Queen!
You would love it! The milky pinks are crazy!
Uh oh…my weakness!
I love the NYX HD Eye Shadow Base too! I’m so glad you introduced me to it. I’ve even picked up a back up recently because I suspect the one you got me is running low. I admit, when it comes to lipstick I am a total MAC snob, but I think it’s time I give Lipstick Queen a try.
The NYX base is the best- I bought 2 recently on sale at Ulta. I can send you one if you can’t find it. MAC makes great lipstick but there is just something about LQ.
Thanks for offering but I can find it here. We just don’t have as many products to choose from here I this no but I did find the eye shadow base. The Lipstick Queen Hey Sailor looks interesting. I think I might give it a try soon.
