Beauty Confessional: Five Things I Can’t Live Without

Since I just moved to Manhattan, where time moves faster than a New York minute, I’ve become obsessed with these must-have items for a girl on the go:

Benefit Cosmetics Eye Bright pencil: I swear by this. I don’t care what your skin color is and if you haven’t slept in days, do two football lines of this under your eyes, gently blend and you will appear as if you have had days of sleep.

Foundation? Hate it. Tinted moisturizer? Love it. The best? Benefit Cosmetics You Rebel. ‘Nuff said.

I am a die-hard lipstick fan. Always have been, always will be. The best is Nars Lipstick and if you are looking for the perfect vampy red regardless of skin tone, get their lipstick in Fire Down Below. I always get compliments when I wear it.

I’m becoming a gym rat, which means having mini everything to put myself back together. The Philosophy Best of Sephora Beauty Insider Kit is amazing. Packed with four pint-sized portions of cleanser, moisturizer, at-home facial peels and Amazing Grace Bath, Shampoo & Shower Gel, this is a must-have for the gym or weekend bag.

By the time I take off my heels, my feet are screaming. Thank goodness for Bliss Softening Sock Salve. Clean, exfoliate, slather, sock. I swear the woman who does my pedicures thinks I’m cheating on her.

Grab these items and I’m sure you’ll be addicted to them in no time flat. Happy shopping!
