My Top Beauty Products

 Hey lovelies!

I've seen a couple of my favorite bloggers share some of their beauty staples/holy grail, so I thought it might be fun for me to share mine with you guys too! I have a lot of makeup/beauty products that I use on a regular, but these eight items I cannot live without! If I was stranded on a desert island and I could bring a few items with me, I could have these and I'd be okay!

When I'm suffering from an acne breakout, I HAVE to use my Clinique 3-Step Acne Treatment. It is a more gentle approach for my skin than like Proactive or something like that, but still clears me up really good. When I have a pimple, I can literally put the Clinique clearing gel on that pimple, go to sleep, and when I wake up, it is usually gone. I'm not even kidding guys, it works THAT GOOD! When I'm not having a breakout moment, I usually will just use Shea Moisture's African Black Soap on my face. It's a gentle, yet effective cleanser.

Now to my makeup staples, I cannot live without a good highlight, mascara, and bold lipstick! If I have those things, I can pull myself together real quick and look presentable. Side note, when you wear matte lipstick, it's good to put a moisturizer like Carmex, Vaseline, or something underneath so that your lips won't be as dry. Next time you're at Walgreen's or something, pick up one of those L'Oreal mascaras! I SWEAR it is up there with the "Better than Sex" mascara and it is WAY CHEAPER!

My favorite item of all.... the MAKEUP ERASER! I am SO happy I found this at Sephora! Y'all, it takes all of my makeup off and all you need is the eraser and WATER! That's it! You wash it in the washing machine and you can use it over and over again. It is literally like my best friend. I've had two of them because I left one in New York once, but if I hadn't left it, I would still be using that one!

Do you guys use any of these products? What are your "holy grails"? I'd love to know!

Thank you so much for reading! XO
