Six Holy Grail Products

If you're like me, you've visited makeupalley.com a time or two...especially when you're searching for the best makeup brands to purchase. Everyone using that site usually marks a particular product their "Holy Grail" or their must-have product. I can never mark just one as my favorite so I've come up with six "Holy Grail" products that I find to be particularly spectacular for the summer.
I hope my favs can now become some of yours as well - enjoy!


The first product is
great for us fair girls with pink undertones.
It's hard to find products that won't wash out the color in your skin and this moisturizer by the The Body Shop brings a pinkish/purple tint that truly enhances fair skin. The moisturizer is also light enough for the summer weather.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Illuminating Moisture Cream

The next product makes it so I rarely even have to wear foundation. This evens out my skin to perfection and again...adds a slight pink touch to skin.

Loreal Studio Secrets Magic
Perfecting Primer



This third product not only can be used as a great daily exfoliating scrub but can be used as a mask on particularly oily days as well. After a long day of work
I put this on my face and leave it there for a few minutes before
washing off and it leaves my skin glowing. I've always had problem skin as an adult and Neutrogena products are the only ones I found to be worth while. Haven't broken out since I started using this!

Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Micro Scrub



If you can't tell I'm obsessed with skin care!
This is a moisturizer that I use at night and this particular
product has been my savior. It changed my skin completely
and made my search for glowing skin complete. This is great
for women of all ages. My mom and I both use and
praise this moisturizer. It's a little pricey but
worth the $$$.

L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Cream





Oh yes - the best lip balm on the planet! This little guy
is $22.50 but I've never had lips so soft. And with the tinted
version I have a fabulous light color for my lips during the day
while keeping them moist and spf 15 protected
during all hours. I couldn't go one day
without this one safely by my side at all times.

Fresh Sugar Plum Tined Lip Treatment







And lastly I can't get through the summer without
my Stila eyeshadow palette. Their colors are light,
create a slight shimmer to eyes and adds a nice pop
of color without looking too over done. The palette that I'm currently using is discontinued but I could pick up just about any one and find a new color to fall in love with. Plus it comes with an awful lot of colors/blushes for just $16.
