2016 Mid Year Beauty Favorites

I've seen this post going around in the blog world and I love it for the simple reason that when someone talks about products they've used over a large chunk of time, you know they're tried and true and that the person honestly and really loves the product. Most beauty bloggers try endless amounts of products and always have something new to talk about so the fact that these ones have made the cut says that they're more than just a passing fancy...for me most of the products that made this post are true holy grail status and ones that I'll probably continue to use for the rest of (if not longer) the year.

My tried and true foundation has been this e.l.f. acne fighting foundation. Since it has tea tree oil it keeps my oiliness at bay longer than a lot of matte foundations and it's light but buildable so it's perfect for any time of year. Since I first bought it I've used it pretty much every day and have had to repurchase it a couple times.

I received a sample of this Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs sometime last summer and fell in love with it. It's pretty much makeup for your legs and makes them look tan as well as flawless. It's waterproof so it lasts a long time and as soon as it dries it doesn't budge. It's a little pricey but totally worth it in my opinion. I used it all last summer and will continue using it this summer.

This Lancome Color Design lipstick in Nude Beauty is my favorite nude and my go-to for most days. I've used it for years and will continue to use it. I feel like Lancome is one of those brands that discontinues colors all the time and this is such a holy grail product for me I feel like I need to go buy a whole case of them. It's not too brown, it's not too pink, it's just perfect.

This one should be a given but my Makeup Revolution Naked Chocolate Palette is my favorite amongst all my palettes. I use at least one color from this palette every single day and have hit pan on a few colors. It's mix of shimmery and mattes make it the perfect neutral palette.

This Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless powder is my favorite. I use the shade translucent and although I'm not usually picky on powders this one just seems to leave my skin flawless. I've repurchased it many, many times and use it every day.

I just started using this exfoliating toner by Lancome in the Spring but already I've noticed such a huge difference in my skin. I went through my sample size and bought a huge full size one and will continue to buy it as it works really well for my skin.
