10 HIGH-END PRODUCTS WORTH THE MONEY

I just did a post about products that aren't worth the money, but this post is the exact opposite.

I know it's hard to buy expensive makeup because you never know if it will be worth it!
That's why I'm here!!

Below is a list of products that are 100% worth what ever the price is because they work and they are amazing and nothing compares to them!!!!

#1 - urban decay primer potion
Sephora & Ulta & Online $20
this is a staple anytime i do my makeup or a client! with this, your eyeshadow will NOT crease or budge! and when i say last all night i mean all night!!! its clear so will not change the color of your shadow!! this puts a stop to oily eye lids!

#2 - tarte amazonian clay 12hr blush
Sephora & Ulta & Online $26
beautiful range of colors and highly pigmented and the reason this blush is on here is because everything it advertises, it does! this blush doesn't blush or get splotchy throughout the day! my favorite shades are blissful & exposed! i say these are a must if you like blush
#3 - MAC retro matte lipstick - ruby woo
this is the only product i listed in a specific shade for the reason it is literally the PERFECT RED LIP! it will look go on all skin tones i promise. theres no shine at all so it doesn't bleed, feather, transfer to the teeth. its simply just perfect and everyone should own it. though it is drying on the lips, moisturize before and you will be fine
MAC Counters and Online $17

#4 - smashbox studio skin foundation
Sephora & Ulta $42
this is the newest edition to my foundation collection and oh my goodness im in LOVE!! the shade range is huge and this foundation doesn't go anywhere!! it wears beautifully on the skin and all skin types can wear it! i have incredibly dry skin and it doesn't catch on to my dry patches. there is NOTHING i can say bad about this foundation it is med-build-able coverage and simply fabulous 
#5 - estee lauder double wear foundation
Estee Lauder Counters & Online $37
ohkay.. this foundation is for the people who need/ want COVERAGE!!! this covers anything and everything you don't want to be seen. the only down fall is that this foundation dries matte therefore, it can be tough for those with dry skin, but if you have oily skin holy moly i guarentee you will fall in love! once this sets, it isn't going ANYWHERE until you are ready to take it off at night! PERFECT for special occasions that you don't want to have to touch up all night!
#6 - benefit the POREfessional
several companies try to recreate this product, but i promise, no one can come close! those unwanted pores and fine lines are ERASED once you put this over them. i recommend patting this on the face rather than brushing it on so that it can fill up the pores. everytime i use this on a client, they ask me what i just did and what i used so they can go buy it! i recommend this product 100% nothing can beat it!! i've tried all the "dupes"
Sephora, Ulta and Online $31

#7 - urban decay makeup setting sprays
Sephora & Ulta $30/each
another product with several "alternative, cheaper options" NONE compare. this sets the foundation to ensure a day's wear! there are 3 kinds chill (dry skin - dewy finish) all nighter (original for long lasting finish) & de-slick (oily skin - oil control finish) amazing i think everyone should finish off their makeup with this product! i know i sure do everyday!
#8 - nars radiant creamy concealer
Sephora & Online $29


it took me forever to bite the bullet and finally get this concealer, but i'm sure glad i did. some use it under the eyes, but i rather not because it does crease under my eyes (i have large bags) i use this to spot conceal and it does wonders!! it is so creamy and smooth and blends in like a dream on my face and still covers my acne great! a little goes a long way (which it should for the price lol) but the color selection is also amazing! i will no longer go without this product. it even stays in my purse just in case!

#9 - it cosmetics - bye bye under eye


Ulta & Online $24
this right here is the big daddy under eye concealer!! whatever you have going on under the eyes will be magically erased with the smallest amount of this product. it cosmetics was actually created by plastic surgeons and dermatologists so the ingredients are filled with skin care and anti-aging benefits!! i use this on myself, younger clients, and older/aging skin. it also brightens the under eye area and it does not crease!
#10 - living proof - prime - style extender
i know it's weird that i have a hair product on here, but i just couldn't leave it out because i don't shampoo my hair without putting this in my hair anymore. i have repurchased this styling product so many times! what it does it stops your hair from getting oily so fast!! it also holds the style you choose! it stops hair from getting frizzy and static-like as well. you apply it to wet hair after you get out of the shower. apply generously from root to ends and then style as normal (blow-dry, straighten, etc) 
Sephora, Ulta, Select Salons and Online $20

PRODUCTS NOT WORTH BUYING!!!

products i regret buying/ not worth it!!

You know what's the worst!? Whenever you hear so many good things about a product, so you go out and purchase it and you HATE it and it definately wasn't worth the money. It turns out, whenever you youtube something, there are a lot of times that the girls on youtube are getting paid and/or getting products sent to them to say good things about products.

Well, let me help you out, I can promise you that no one sends me the stuff i have and/ or pays me to say good or bad things about products. All of my opinions are 100% MY HONEST OPINION.

**DISCLAIMER** Just because these products didn't work for me, doesn't mean you won't like them. the products below simply just didn't work for me (i explain why)




#1- urban decay 24/7 glide on eye pencil
$19/each
this eyeliner is RAVED about by so many people that it is "smudge-proof," "waterproof," and that it won't run down your face! I was so excited when this product came out I ran out and got it in zero (black) IT IS TERRIBLE!!!!! Everything that it claims NOT to do, it does. when I line my top lash line with it, it is ALL over my eyelid.  I would not recommend this to anyone!!!

#2 - revlon colorstay whipped foundation
$11
i wanted to like this foundation so bad. the texture feels amazing, so light!! well, because it only gives light coverage!! personally, i rather medium/full coverage foundations. i have acne scars and an uneven skin tone that needs to be covered. i guess it's not a total bust if you like light coverage, but it's definitely not for me!

#3 - bare minerals multi-tasking face- well rested
$18
before i start with this product, i want to say that this is actually a FABULOUS product!! it will brighten up the under eye area perfectly, set concealer in place and highlight the face. it just didn't work for me. i have very dry skin and my under eye area is even more dry. because of my skin type, when i would set my concealer with this, it would accentuate the fine lines under my eyes and pretty much made me look like a shriveled up granny! NO LIE, lol! great for those with normal to oily skin who want to brighten the face.

#4 - sephora long lasting eyeliner
$12
i used to LOVE this eyeliner. it was my go-to everyday. i put it to the side for a while to use something else, but i recently rediscovered it and decided to wear it to work. oh. my. goodness. i really don't know how i loved this eyeliner! its super black don't get me wrong, but the tiniest bit of moisture causes the eyeliner to run down the face like you have been crying for hours. it's seriously ridiculous!! i will no longer be grabbing for this...ever!

#5 - covergirl lashblast length mascara
$8
WORST MASCARA EVER MADE!!! please, don't waste your money on this!! barely even tinted my lashes, let alone gave them length. i have nothing good to say about this mascara. it's just horrible. don't try to prove me wrong, i promise it's terrible!!!

#6 - benefit erase paste (color correcting concealer)
$26
the color of the product is perfect for color correcting dark circles, but it is entire too thick and too creamy to be an under eye concealer. all this product did was crease and move all over my face. i wish they would reformulate this because it really a great salmon shade for those blue and green bags!



I think that's all that I have for right now, but stay tuned for another post like this because when you buy as much makeup as I do, there is bound to be products that I don't like, and of course I will let ya'll know so you guys don't waste your money..
Let me know in the comments below what ya'll want to see next! I love hearing from you!!

Also, my giveaway/ contest is still open because the comments that were there got deleted somehow so I have no idea who commented so go back and comment again!!! 
**found on my best of 2013- lips** 
pretty good giveaway if you ask me.


thanks for taking the time to read this!!!
