I don’t usually go out and spend a ton of money on makeup… I’m always nervous that I won’t like it when I get home. When it comes to expensive makeup, I usually stick to products that I love, like Bare Minerals (looooove) or Estee Lauder mascara.
However…
This summer I did find two new beauty products that I’m now obsessed with. And I think you should know about ’em.
Number One.
I LOVE THIS STUFF.
A few weeks ago, my cherished Ulta bronzer fell to its demise on my tile floor. I was a little devastated… my face does NOT tan, so even mid-summer my face still looks ghostly without makeup on.
After grazing the aisles of Ulta for a good hour, I finally decided on this little gem.
This bronzer is the PERFECT color.
It contains a teensy bit of shimmer, isn’t “orangey” at all, but still gives you that sun-kissed glow that all bronzers should strive for.
Number Two.
This one makeup product is actually a 4-in-1 makeup kit that contains all of my favorite products.
1. “Girl Meets Pearl”
This golden pink liquid pearl accent truly gives your skin a “pearly” glow.
Sometimes I don’t like to wear foundation on my face during the summer, so I’ll put this on my face for a little extra.
2. “Posie Tint”
If you’ve tried Benefit products before, Posie Tint is a lot like BeneTint.
It looks gorgeous on your cheeks or lips, but a slight warning – the color is described as poppy-pink – and they’re not lying. It’s pretty pink.
3. “Erase Paste”
This stuff is ah-mazing.
This industrial strength concealer covers everything from pimples to redness.
A little dab with my pinky finger, blend, and voila. Perfection.
4. “High Beam”
This is my favorite product in the kit… “a supermodel in a bottle.”
I apply this pink highlighting liquid to my cheeks, brow bones, and the bridge of my nose for a little shimmer.
!!!!!!!
You. Need. These.
What beauty products can you not live without??
Love, Cait
The brightening kit looks really neat, I may have to check that one out. I love my Bobbi Brown bronzer and powder 🙂

You look gorgeous in that picture! I've seen High Beam at Sephora, but have never tried it! I just tried E.L.F. brushes (this super cheap brand from Target), and I love them!
I have got to get one of the Benefit kits – I love their makeup (especially Bad Gal mascara)!

I have the exact same "Sun Bunny" bronzer… I actually have "Snow Bunny" too and I love it even more because I'm naturally pretty pale!
OMG isnt high beam amazing?!?! I cant live without it. I am gonna have to go out and get that benefit kit asap. i also love all the toofaced products. you look sooo pretty in your pics 🙂 thanks for sharing lil lady!
That 'Finding Mr. Bright' kit looks amazing, thanks for sharing!
I love Erase Paste! One of my favorites this year! 🙂
You are so pretty! I'll definitely have to check out the bronzer because mine just ran out. Thanks for the recommendations, girl!
You look great with high beam! I've heard everyone loves that so I may have to give it a try!
I have used Erase Paste before and it def lives up to it's name! I love it!
These all look really awesome!!! I may have to go get that bronzer. My face tans in the summer, but not much, and I'm a pasty white freak in the winter lol.
I never used to like spending big bucks on makeup, but I use a lot of Mary Kay now since I started selling it. I can't live without my eye primer–that stuff is freaking amazing. Check out my giveaway blog post because I rave about it there. I haven't found other really great makeup products that I really *love*, but I'm sure I will 🙂
I live by Erase Paste, High Beam and Too Faced Bronzer. I also bought Smashbox Soft Lights in Shimmer to go over my high beam. It just gives it a little sparkle. I talk about it here. http://justasmalltowngirlblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/sephora-purchases.html
I loveee the erase paste it seriously is AMAZING and covers up everything! But now I really need to try this Highbeam!
O my god I currently love all these products as well!! I purchased the too Faced Bronzer in Leopard-it's so cute and perfect for Summer!
I usually stick to Bobbi Brown Make up because its what I know and love! I love my Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick! That thing goes everywhere with me! But I have been wanting to branch out and get some new make up!
Sun Bunny is a fantastic bronzer! And I know what you mean about High Beam–that stuff is amazing!
wow you look amazing! i love all of benefits makeup their perfume maybe baby is my favorite!
I'm definitely going to have to try that high beam! My current "can't live without" beauty products are Sephora brand bronzer and urban decay "all nighter." I love the bronzer for it's perfect amount of shimmer. The All Nighter is a spray that helps make-up stay put. Especially during the summer when I get sweaty, I get oily and then my make-up disappears. The spray has helped 100%! I look the same when I get home as when I left the house. Definitely a favorite right now. Thanks for the love on my blog, I'm following yours now 🙂
I need to try the high beam! Thanks for the suggestion 🙂
I'm in love with anything from Benefit, High Beam is the greatest!
So, probably a stupid question but do you wear Girl Meets Pearl all over your face? I have the product, but don't love it, so I'm thinking it is because I don't know how to wear it haha!
I'll have to give that bronzer a try…I have had a few in my life but have never really loved any of them!
I want the Bright kit…haven't heard of that one! Love the pic showing the High Beam, how cool!
I feel like I have tried every makeup product but never highbeam! You just convinced that I must buy it =]
I bought the Finding Mr. Bright kit today at Macy's because of your recommendation. I'm sure I'll love it! You look gorg in that picture 🙂
My friend actually just bought me the Two Faced bronzer because she said it was a must have in my life. I have seen high beam before, but never bought it. Maybe i`ll have to get it and give it a try!
xo
I just got high beam, I haven't tried it yet though. I am hoping I will love it:)!
You look gorgeous!! Bronzer and highlighting cream is the best!
