I can’t believe it has been almost a year since my first post on this site. Coincidentally, one of my first posts was beauty/makeup related and of course, I have new, updated products that I have to share. 

1. L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara: This is the same brand as the mascara that I shared a year ago and it is good. It gives a much more dramatic and full effect than the more natural mascara I shared last year. My eyelashes are naturally pretty long but this mascara makes them look even longer and fuller, which I love. Great dupe for a popular Too Faced mascara, but half the price…we love that!
2. L’Oreal Paris Infallible Super Slim Liner: This is a surprising one for me because I never thought I would ever be able to use liquid eyeliner. I typically stick with gel liners that are easier to apply, but for some reason I picked this one up and I love it. It definitely takes practice and I still mess it up half the time, but I love the felt tip and that I can now amp up my eye look with a little wing. 
3. Laneige Lip Glowy Balm: I’m addicted to the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask that I mentioned last year, so I had to try the new Lip Glowy Balm. It is essentially the same as the mask but it is more practical for on-the-go because the tube makes it easier to apply. 
4. Sephora Collection Best Skin Ever Foundation: This new foundation from Sephora has been circulating the internet so I had to see what the hype was all about. I can confirm…it is amazing. Light but buildable coverage, super dewy, it blends seamlessly into the skin, and lasts all day, and for $20 you cannot beat it. They say to use a brush or your fingers to apply, but I have gotten the best result with a sponge.
5. Kirkland Signature (Costco) Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner – This shampoo and conditioner blew me away. It is a Pureology dupe but for the price and size of Costco. I ran out of the shampoo and they haven’t restocked at my location, so if you can get your hands on it consider yourself lucky. You can also order it from the Costco website if you are desperate to try it, I am tempted. In the meantime, I have also been using the OGX Teatree Mint Extra Strength Refreshing Scalp shampoo which is a mouthful but also another amazing option! My hair seriously looks and feels like I just came from the salon every time I wash it. 

An honorable mention would have to go to Tula Skincare – I am still trying out the cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen so I will report back once I have a reliable opinion.
