Fragrance

Maison Margiela REPLICA Lipstick On- $126 $100.80 : This was the fragrance sample I wore the day Jordan proposed, so it will always have a special place in my heart! I have a full size bottle still, but love stocking up during the sale because it ain’t cheap!
Kilian “Adults” Eau de Parfum- $135 $110 : Kilian was a guest on Fat Mascara and the way he spoke about the passion that goes into creating his fragrances had me sold, but this one quickly became my favorite when I sampled it at Sephora the other day!
Tools/Brushes
Beautyblender the original beauty sponge- $20 $16 : There are plenty dupes on the market, but for me BeautyBlender still reigns supreme. (With maybe this one exception.)
Nars Kabuki Ita Brush- $55 $44 : Overly contoured looks may be on their way out, but when I want to give my cheeks and nose a little sculpting this brush is my go to.
Tarte Airbrush Finish Bamboo Foundation Brush- $34 $27.20 : Pictures don’t do this brush justice, it’s huge! It’s great for fast foundation application and gives a flawless finish.
Clarisonic Mia Smart 3-in-1 Connected Sonic Beauty Device- $199 $159 : I use my Clarisonic weekly and LOVE that squeaky clean feeling it gives me every time.
Hair
