Current Favorite Top From 5 Pat McGrath Labs

Some of my current favorite, top 5 products from Pat McGrath Labs!

Divine Blush: Legendary Glow Color Balm ($29; sephora.com) is probably one of my most used cream blushes that comes in a super convenient stick form. I love how effortlessly it blends and looks dewy, but not greasy. Forbidden Fleur is a great color for medium-dark skin tones and has just the right amount of pigment.

The FetishEyes Lengthening Mascara ($34; sephora.com) is a great mascara for length and volume. It has a slightly thicker brush and helps coat lashes without weighing them down. My short stubby lashes look natural but not clumpy and this has been my go to mascara along with the Le Volume de Chanel for thicker lashes.

The Lust Lip Gloss ($29; sephora.com) is a really nice gloss that can be worn by itself or layered on. The texture is a tad thick, but that also makes it longwearing compared to most thinner glasses.The stickiness isn’t a lot and the colors are super gorgeous. The shimmer in some of these are very finely milled and add a lot of dimension.

The ChromaLuxe Artistry Pigments ($35; patmcgrathlabs.com) are a new addition to the line that is a shimmery, metallic pigment packed eyeshadow. The creamy finish is amazing when patted on to the lids with fingers or a flat brush. I miss the EYEdolls eye shadow singles from the brand that was long discontinued and these are a good replacement for now. I also love how the intensity of the pigment can be layered or toned down for a subtle or intense look.

The Permagel Eyeliner Pencil ($29; sephora.com) is a creamy, easy to blend and smoke out liner. It is longwearing and is easy to use on both the lash and water lines. Blitz Blue, Blitz Brown and Xtreme Black are my favorites that I use on rotation a lot.

Essie Odd Squad And Blushin' And Crushin' Spring Collections

Blushin’ & Crushin’ ($10 each; ulta.com) and Odd Squad ($10 each; ulta.com) are two new collections from essie for Spring. The colors here are gorgeous and look fabulous on most skin tones. These are very wearable pastels in the beautiful essie formula and brush that I love. Odd Squad is a mix of 6 creams in a glossy, opaque finish. The colors are interesting and something I can wear all through the year. The formula was great and went on smooth without any bubbling. Never Basic and Mismatch to Match are my top favorites from this collection.

Blushin’ & Crushin’ is a mix of shimmer and creme finishes in perfect spring colors. I absolutely loved the combination of colors. The colors were mostly one coaters, I used two coats for opacity. I can’t pick a favorite from here since I love them all. They are colors I gravitate towards most of the time. Overall, such gorgeous collections with a fabulous formula!

Lancome La Vie Est Belle Rose Extraordinaire

La Vie Est Belle Rose Extraordinaire ($158; lancome-usa.com) is the newest fragrance from Lancome, a warm, woody rose-musk concoction with notes of fresh rose water - rose accord - rose damascena absolue, Iris and Woody Musk and Sandalwood. The bottle design is similar to the La Vie Est Belle fragrance line but gorgeously designed with a sculpted rose reinvented by the renowned artist Catherine Krunas. The opening is very floral, not heavy, but just the right mix of rose and iris. The rose is strong, not overpowering, very feminine and sophisticated. I love rose notes in fragrances and absolutely love how this wears on me throughout the day. The Iris adds a slightly powdery, yet rich note to the floral base and keeps it very interesting. The dry down brings out a lot of the woody musk and sandalwood to keep it warm and soft. I think this is probably my favorite La Vie Est Belle so far and a year round fragrance for me. The longevity is truly amazing - lasted a whole day on me which is rare for most fragrances. Overall, a gorgeous fragrance to try if you like florals with a touch of musk and a fantastic Mother’s Day gift for anyone who loves their fragrances.

Now available via Amazon Premium Beauty Store and Lancome.
