But anyways enough rambling lets get into this amazing list since you all absolutely love them and tell me that you do… make my heart so happy! Heres is the list… Finally!!! xoxo
1. PURE ANADA Tender Twig Blush
This blush is so ridiculously gorgeous and it blends on so well and you barely need a lot of product. It retails for only $12.00 (CAD). You do get a lot of product and you can easily depot them onto your own custom Z-palette for your makeup travel needs. Its a mauve sort of dusty rose colour perfect for summer and perfect for on the go application. Best part is that if you use code LIFESTYLELESLIE10 you get 10% off any order of $25.00 or more or if you spend $50.00 its FREE SHIPPING!!! How amazing I also linked a similar dupe for those sephora points! ;)
2. Vasanti Cosmetics Glow Up Serum
This serum is absolutely amazing, I love it so much to prep and prime my skin before makeup application. I love that you can see the glow after a few days of just using it. I love it so much that I have even put drops on a tray with my foundation and mix it all together to get that ultimate glow. (Yep! Obsessed!) The only thing you need to remember is to shake it to activate the product. I also love that you don’t need a lot of product at all! the whole syringe basically covers your face. The Glow Serum will also help to brighten your skin tone and increase its natural radiance.
3. Avon Illuminating Stick - Champagne
This highlighter is the perfect product to built up a highlight! I love that it is in a stick form and that you barely need a lot of product! Also the price is $14.00 (CAD) that is a steal for the amount of product that you receive. I have the colour in champagne. I am so beyond thrilled to have received a product like this because it is so soft and buttery and glides on smooth with no mess. It is easy to blend and perfect for the summer! It is a must try!
4. MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation NW25
This powder foundation is the perfect foundation for on the go! It is perfect for running around doing errands or before the gym if you don’t want to look dead. I absolutely love it and I love that they carry a wide variety of colors for any skin tone! I also love that they provide a puff to apply the powder. So you can tell its perfect for on the go. I have been using this powder to set my whole face after foundation application if I want that full coverage look. Its a must try and you most definitely can try it at sephora or mac to see if its a right fit for you!
5. Avon Magix Tinted Moisturizer
This Tinted moisturizer is….. every….thing! I mean it! Like this is the perfect foundation for anyone in the work force or for anyone who doesn’t want a full coverage foundation that cakes on. This is the perfect foundation for making you skin look a solid one color and it applies really well! I am absolutely obsessed and can we talk about the price.. its only $15.00 (CAD) thats a steal because a little bit goes a long way! Its a must try you won’t be disappointed!
This bronzer is like life goals! It was a splurge when I went to the states. I absolutely love this colour so much and I love that the smell is so unreal. It smells expensive without offering any kind of chemical additives! I love that I only use it during the summer months for that extra bronzed glow when I get my spray tans on. Its a must try or even going to the makeup counter to try it out will make you fall in love like I did ! Don’t say that I didn’t warn you… LOL!
7. LUNA BRONZE Self Tanning Lotion
I was listening to one of my favourite podcasts (PRIV TALKS) and these lovely people were on an episode and after listening to them I knew I had to try them out! I am so happy that I did! I love their lotions and the smell is really good! Doesn’t smell coconut or vanilla, just smells like the ocean to me anyways. I love how a little bit of product can go a really long way! If you live in canada you can purchase their fine products from Vancouver boss babes privilegeclothing.ca Thats where I bought mine, since Luna Bronze is from Australia! Make sure you check them out and tell ya I sent ya!
8. Cerave - Hydrating Cleanser
This cleanser is absolutely hydrating to the max. It does what it says it does.. HYDRATING! I couldn’t believe how soft and smooth my skin felt after cleansing my skin after wearing a full days of makeup. I typically use a makeup wipe of some sort and some micellar water to wipe away my makeup. I love how you barely need a lot of product to apply. A little goes a long way! I know with some cleansers you need a lot and some barely do anything! This cleanser is amazing. I love that they provided a travel size which is perfect for this summer and taking this to the lake or cabin.
9. PURE ANADA Promenade Lipstick
This lipstick is a YASSS QUEEN! I love this so much because the color pigmentation is so on point. The creamy and buttery ness that is this lipstick creates such a gorgeous finish to any look. I love how hydrating it is and the color itself is to die for! This lipstick is absolutely stunning. They retail for $14.00 (CAD). This lipstick is one of my favourites because of how matte it is. This lipstick is the perfect soft warm rose colour and I love how it glides on super smooth and that Its moisturizing at the same time. Don’t forget that if you use code LIFESTYLELESLIE10 you get 10% off any order of $25.00 or more or if you spend $50.00 its FREE SHIPPING!!! How amazing I also linked a similar dupe for those sephora points! ;)
