10 Products I can't live without

I was recently tagged for this "10 products" post on Instagram. I thought it was pretty interesting; what would I say my top 10 products are? I used to be obsessed with makeup in college. I watched all the huge YouTube beauty gurus on practically a daily basis, and learned so much from them about products. In fact, I learned so well that I can safely say that I don't need any more makeup for about 10 years. Well, besides mascara! Don't leave that lying around too long unless you want an eye infection. Just sayin'. Anyway, I also did hair and body products as well- can't forget those! As an added bonus I added some drugstore dupes for some of my more expensive products!

So without further ado: My 10
1. Original Naked Palette
Yes I have all 3 but this will forever be my holy grail- Sin (second shade from the left) is my all time favorite eye shadow color, and buck (3rd shade) is my perfect eyebrow shade. :)
2.Vaseline Rosy lip balm
Okay... shocker. How many times have I posted this already?! haha!
3. Mascara 
 pictured is Bad gal Lash mascara. I remember liking this, but that was a few years ago. I haven't opened this tube yet.
4. L'Oreal BB Cream.
I literally won't use anything else 99 percent of the time. For my wedding I did NARS sheer glow and I loved that, but NOTHING beats this. I have to use the lightest shade called fair, because even their "light" color made me look like a tanning product gone bad.
5. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Branded
Another holy grail product for me. At around 6 dollars its incredibly cheap and makes my eyeshadow last all day without creasing. Win.
6. Ambient Lighting Palette from Hourglass
I love this thing. Does it work. Doubt it. Does it make me feel like I'm somehow prettier? YES. Isn't that what makeup is supposed to do? :)
7. NARS bronzer in Laguna
This is a cult classic, and well deserved. I have a dupe down below if you can't stomach shelling out 30+ bucks for bronzer
8. The Righteous Body Butter by Soap and Glory
This stuff is amazing. It smells like one of my all time favorite perfumes: Miss Dior. It's also intensely hydrating.
9. Lulah Vanilla Orchid Shower Gel
My mother-in-law turned me on to this. The scent is great, but even better is that to me it smells like the days when I was first dating my husband. :)
10. Carol's Daughter Monoi hair mask
I have crazy, curly, and thick hair. It needs moisture, and taming, and everything else you can think of. This is the best conditioner I have ever found. It's expensive though, so it's only an occasional treat.
Another shot. :)



The dupes!


 This mascara is Revlon's 3D volume. I LOVE IT.
 There's me in the mirror! Anyway, this duo from Hard Candy is one of my favorite things ever. It costs 6 dollars at Walmart. YouTuber Allison Anderson raved about this and I'm glad I listened. With the base under it (Maybelline) it wears exactly like Urban Decay. It is extremely pigmented and metallic/shimmery. The shade is called "High Maintenance." Please go buy it. I'm not even kidding.
NYC has a bronzer called "sunny" that is nearly identical to Laguna. It's about 3 dollars instead of 34 so... your choice. :)

Thank you so much for stopping by! Comment if you have tried or love any of these products! OR let me know your recommendations for things that you love.
xoxo,
Victoria
