Top 10 High End Products 2015

Hello loves! Most of you loved my Top 10 Drugstore Products post, so I decided to do a high-end one! These are products that I personally use and will repurchase, so I give my honest opinion on each one. I realized these products are not cheap so I wanted to make sure I picked things that are worth the money, and that you can use in your every day makeup routine. If you decide to go buy anything at Ulta or Sephora make sure to sign up for their loyalty card.. the points add up! At Ulta they will give you money off a purchase and usually send you coupons every month. At Sephora you can get deluxe sized samples for points and I love getting stuff like that because it gives you a chance to try out a product before you fork out the money for it. If you have any questions on products I mention please ask or if you purchase any of these products let me know what you think!

First, I have the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz. This is basically a brow pencil. This is the most amazing brow pencil I have ever used. It looks very natural because it has an ultra  fine tip to mimic brow hair, has great pigmentation, and it has a handy spooley on the end. It is available in 8 colors and retails for $21. Mine lasts for about 8 months but I don't use it everyday.

 Next, I have the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I have a few of the minis because they used to come free when you purchased a Naked palette. I have had some of my bottles for years (a little goes a long way!) so if you don't want to pay $20 for the full size, you can get away with buying the mini one for $12 and trust me it will last. This stuff is amazing, it has a crease free formula and honestly if you have this under your eye shadow you could fall asleep and wake up with your shadow still looking flawless!

Ok this stuff is my absolute favorite setting powder for under my eyes. It is the Makeup Forever HD Microfinish Powder. This is a translucent finishing powder and I use it to set my concealer. It makes my skin feel velvety soft and it does not crease or move all day! Again, with this a little bit goes a long way. You could get away with buying the mini for $19 and it will last you a while, or splurge and get the big one for $34 (it is so worth every penny!!).

 This is the Smashbox Photo Filter Powder Foundation, I use shade 4. This is, in my opinion, very expensive for a foundation.. It is $42 but if you want a great foundation that will last you months and you don't mind splurging a little, I would say get this! I love the natural and smooth finish it gives me and it has an 8 hour wear. It doesn't dry out my skin and it doesn't look cakey at all. It is just an all around great product!

 Back to brows.. This is the Benefit Gimme Brow and I use this to set my brows in place after I fill them in with my pencil or because it is tinted you can use it alone for a natural, fuller brow. This product is $24 but if you want just one brow product, not 2, I would recommend just getting the Anastasia Brow Wiz I mentioned earlier. You have more hold power with this product but less control on how your brows will turn out (The Brow Wiz is more precise).

This is probably the first high end product I ever purchased.. it's my ride or die liquid liner!! This is the Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Liner and it's staying power is pretty amazing. I don't think I have ever left it on for 24 hours but I believe it would stay on that long! They also make a pencil liner for those of you that are scared of liquid liners! This liner is $19 and totally worth it! The Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil retails for $20.

 Next up is lashes! I know every one loves the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara but if you tried this you will never think about that stuff again! This is the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara. When I wear this people think I have on false lashes! It is $22  alone but Ulta sells a bundle of 2 full sized tubes for $28 which is a great deal!

 I wanted to include an eye shadow palette in this for a few reasons.. one reason being if you find a high end eye shadow palette (doesn't have to be this one) that you like and you know you will use most or all of the colors, get it. These palettes are totally worth the $40-$60 because they will last you years and usually include a ton of great quality shadows. They expire after about 2 years but I think $50 for 2 years worth of shadow isn't bad. If you get a palette that has everything you need (a highlight, shimmer shadows, and matte shadows) in the colors you usually wear it is 100% worth it. This Lorac Pro palette is an all around great palette with 8 matte shadows and 8 shimmer shadows(2 are beautiful highlight shades). It has everything you need and it comes with an eye shadow primer. At $42 this product is a great value!



This is the Smashbox Pore Minimizing Photo Finish Primer and I use this under my foundation. It does a great job at making my pores appear smaller and it helps my foundation last longer and sit better on my face. I bought the small tube of this for $16 because I just cant bring myself to buy the full size one for $39. My small tube has lasted me for almost 7 months now and I use this a lot. Smashbox makes a few different primers in the Photo Finish line I just prefer the pore minimizing.

Finally, I have the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray and I use this every day. I love setting my makeup with this because it just helps so much with making my makeup last all day and just making it look better, it really is a great product. You can get the smaller size for $14 and the bigger size for $30. I get the bigger one just because I use it so much.





Thank you guys for reading! If you are loving any products you think I need to try let me know, I love hearing your opinions and trying new stuff! Oh and I included links for each product to help out those of you having trouble finding products I mention! ;)
