Makeup Brushes -Sonia Kashuk - Blusher Brush

I love this blush brush and use it everyday. The sable bristles are very soft and well shaped for an easy blush application. It's held up for around 2 years now with little to no shedding. It's very impressive for the price of under $10!

Makeup Brushes -Urban Decay - Concealer Brush

I really like this concealer brush. I don't use concealer under my eyes often, just on spots. The tiny size of this brush makes it perfect for spot concealing. A bigger brush would probably be better for under eye circles (minus one lipstick). The bristles are taklon, great for using with creamy products, and are hard but not prickly on the skin.

Makeup Brushes -Urban Decay - Powder Brush

This is my very favorite brush! It's made of taklon and is very soft. I could rub it on my face all day long. It gives a nice, even application of loose powders and even works well for powder foundations. It's well worth the $35 price tag!

Lip Gloss -Chanel - Spark Glossimer

I held off buying any Glossimers for the longest time because I didn't want to develop an obsession for a $24 lipgloss. Alas, my lemming forced me to come to my senses, and I purchased Spark. As feared, I am now obsessed! Spark is a beautiful sheer pinky red with gold shimmer. It looks natural enough for my conservative law firm but could also be dressed up for night with a different lipliner. The color really brightens up my face (blonde hair, blue eyes, MAC C3). The texture is fabulous. It's are glossy but not sticky in the least. It's also long lasting compared to most glosses.

Conditioner -Back to Basics - Sunflower Conditioner

I've used Back to Basics Sunflower for many years now (7 to be exact). I tend to stray often to try the more exciting products raved about on MUA but when I get back to using this, I wonder why I strayed. My hair is fine (but I've got a lot of it), wavy, highlighted and I straighten it daily but this makes it soft and smooth. The smell is wonderful, very light and flowery, and it lasts well in the hair without being overpowering. The price is very reasonable too. It's downright cheap if you can find the liters priced at 2 for $20 like you frequently can at Trade Secret.
