New Beauty Must Haves + Giveaway | Lipstick Heels and a Baby

1//2//3//4//5

I recently did some spring cleaning on my makeup and got rid of a lot of stuff I didn’t use any more or that I have had for more than 3 months and not used. That being said I felt like I need to do some investigating on some new great products–not stuff I would use for a week or two then never touch again. I had WAY to many un used mascaras, eyeliners and foundations! These are what I have come with and boy do I love all of them!

First..eyeKo! I am going to work on a winged liner tutorial with the new eyeKo “eye do” eyeliner and mascara. I have seen so many beauty gurus using it lately, and it truly blew me away the first time I used it! I posted a picture of my wing on instagram a while back for those of you who saw it! Both of these products are in the Alexa Chung Set if you wanted to get them both together, that is what I have!

Also, I am loving the Bijou lipstick line from Julie Hewett. It was recommended to me and I am loving it for spring. It is sheer (I like less in the warmer months) and SO moisturizing with the camellia oil. I have two colors so far, the “Biba” (pictured here) and “Jacqueline.” The more layers you apply, the more pigment you will get and I LOVE how soft my lips are after!

Oh, the Nars Pallet, I have WAY too many Nars face products (well, I take that back–that’s not possible!) haha But I really love Nars for my bronzer, contour, highlighter and blush!!!

So one thing I am reading and hearing over and over is to apply retinol on my face a few times a week at night–well folks–I am just now starting! Better late than never right? I love this one, although I must admit I am not an expert in this field but I really have been pleased with this one. I alternate it every other night with my Radical Skincare. This one has vitamin C in it tho so make sure to wear sunscreen during the day!!

Okay, Part 2 of the Blogging Essentials Giveaway!! Let me just say these prizes are so awesome! I would have loved to have won something like this when I first started blogging!! Hope you ladies enjoy!
