Purchased Affiliate Link Press Sample
Happy FRIDAY! Today’s post is going to be a long one.. so brace yourself. First and foremost, this is a collab post with 3 of my very good friends here in the beauty community.  Definitely check out all of their Holy Grail products as well – We all have different skin tones / skin types so you can definitely find your match! All videos / blog posts will be linked down below!

One being Dani from CoffeeBreakWithDani who you all know I absolutely adore. She’s my youtube bff and my person. I’m pretty sure I text with her more during the day than my own husband. Haha! She’s absolutely fantastic and I’m really excited for you guys to check her out!

I am also doing this collab with Tiffany who has a youtube channel as well – TiffanyKNewcomb. She’s bubbly and has a sparkling personality and probably loves makeup more than I do!

And last but not least, my blogger friend Stacy from Beauty Steals & Deals. She just dove into the blogging world and is going to kick butt at it! She has a wonderful Instagram as well where she posts beauty deals, product empty reviews & drugstore finds & hauls. She’s so sweet and you guys are going to love her!

Which leads me to the super huge & exciting announcement…. WE’RE ALL GOING TO IMATS TOGETHER! Whaaat! Watch out NYC – We’re coming for you! IMATS is an international makeup artist trade show that comes around twice a year I believe and has tons of makeup vendors, amazing makeup artists and you can meet your favorite vloggers & bloggers! We will be there on Saturday April 12th, so please let me know if you plan on attending! (I believe Saturday tickets are sold out.. but hopefully they will release more! We will still be shopping in the city and hitting up Sephora, MAC ect!) I can’t wait to go on this wild & crazy adventure with these ladies. We may or may not have all of our food stops planned out thanks to Dani. Haha! So we all decided to come together today and make this amazing announcement PLUS talk about our Holy Grail beauty products.  Products we can’t live without. Products we will re purchase over & over again and ones we gravitate towards pretty much every single day. Are you ready? Let’s get started!

Urban Decay Naked Palette –  This is probably the first high end makeup product I have ever purchased and one I gravitate towards to the most out of the entire ‘Naked’ line.  It’s perfect for travel and you can create SO many looks out of it! Buy Here – $52
Covergirl 3 In 1 Stay Fabulous Foundation – I won’t go too much in depth with this foundation because I swear I have talked about it in SO many favorites posts. Hands down, it’s phenomenal.  It’s full coverage, lasts all day and doesn’t look cakey whatsoever. Buy Here – $9

Benefit Porefessional –  Again, another product I have talked about many times. Porefessional is one of those products I have MULTIPLES of. I don’t ever want to run out.  It’s a fantastic primer and a must have in your beauty routine. Buy Here – $30

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard –  BEST concealer ever! I never knew what the hype was until I picked this up on a whim one day. It’s amazing at covering blemishes & dark circles and the color matches my skin perfectly. Buy Here – $29

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser – As you can see, this is a product I use day in and day out. I have already purchased another one this week because I definitely won’t want to go without it once this one runs out. (I also purchased the brightener as well thanks to my friend Rachel) It’s so simple to use.. you just twist up and apply. I then will blend it in with my beauty blender. LOVE this! Buy Here – $7
Too Faced Pink Leopard Brightening Bronzer – The fact that this is a “brightening bronzer” is what sold me when I first bought this. I love that it can be used as a subtle bronzer / highlight or a blush. I talked about it so much one day that my grandma went out and bought it. And she has since bought multiples since! Buy Here – $30

Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso – If I had to wear one blush for the rest of my life, I would pick Luminoso from Milani. The color is just absolutely stunning and looks wonderful on all skin tones. It gives your face a beautiful natural glow. Buy Here – $8
Maybelline The Rocket Mascara – I was *thisclose* to picking Benefit’s They’re Real mascara, but then realized I have re purchased this mascara more times than I can even remember.  It’s a great drugstore mascara option in my opinion if you want something that will volumize & lengthen. I know there are some people that absolutely hate it, but it’s definitely holy grail status for me. Buy Here – $5

Anastasia Brow Powder Duo & Brush – My brows have never looked better thanks to Anastasia! I have my powder duo in dark brown and it’s the perfect match. I was torn between this and the brow wiz, but I definitely gravitate towards the powder more. If you’re in need for a product to spruce your brows up, this will be your BFF for life. Buy Here – $23

Milani Shadow Eyez in Champagne Toast – I’m a simple girl. I can throw this Milani Shadow Eyez on my lid and call it a day. It’s also a great base to pair with the Naked palette. I also love to use it as an inner corner highlight and for my lower lash line. It really makes your eyes pop! Buy Here – $3
NYX Butter Glosses in Maple Blondie & Eclair – I’m pretty sure I have 5 NYX Butter Glosses in my purse at all times. These are definitely the two that get the most use. They are just so easy to apply and throw on during the day and smell DIVINE! Buy Here $13 (3 Piece Set)

MAC Lipstick in Syrup – Syrup is one of those my lips but better colors for me. It’s a lustre finish so can be worn very sheer or can be built up to your desired opacity. It’s just another one of those simple makeup staples I like to keep in my purse for touch ups. Buy Here – $16

Nivea A Kiss Of Olive Oil & Lemon Lip Balm – This is definitely a new holy grail product for me. My lips (And my son’s) get SO dry in the winter and this balm from Nivea really helps to keep them hydrated & moisturized. I’m not a fan of the Kiss Of Milk & Honey – I much rather prefer this one! Buy Here – $9
So there you have it! My HOLY GRAIL beauty products! I would love to hear what yours are in the comments below! And PLEASE make sure you check out the other wonderful ladies as well!

    Wow, your holy grail list and mine are like 80% the same!! I would say my most recent holy grail product would be the Eucerine intensive repair hand creme, my hands get SO dry in the winter and this is the only thing that has really helped!
