Guest Post: Amber's Beauty Must-Haves

While I'm in NYC, I have some fun guest posts lined up for y'all! Be excited! From beauty, to etsy, to toddlers, to photography - we've got it covered the next couple of days!

First off is Amber, one of my absolute favorite bloggers whom I also got the chance to meet while I was in Dallas a couple of weeks ago! In the spirit of this blog, she offered to give us a list of her favorite beauty products (which I'm always a sucker for)! Thank you, Amber, for volunteering to guest post! Love ya, girly!



Hey Y'all! I'm Amber from Brunch with Amber. I'm a 20-something medical assistant aspiring to be an RN who loves her coffee in the mornings and wine in the evenings. I enjoy blogging (obvs), my fabulous friends, trying new things and my incredibly boyfriend. Over at my blog, you'll find that I talk about a whole bunch of random stuff which includes lots of love for my blog friends which is why I'm more than happy to guest post for Meg while she's in NYC (which I'm super jealous of, by the way!) .

We all know that Meg is a beauty guru, right? Well, today I'm going to tell you lovely O is Me readers a few of my MUST-HAVE beauty products. Are you ready?

First off, I can't live without my Clinique moisturizer. There's no comparison to any other brand. I've been using it since I started my beauty regimen when I was a freshmen in high school. I swear by this stuff. It's AMAZING and really helps when you're peeling from a sunburn too.
Next up is powder. Now, for the longest time I didn't wear powder, that is until my little sister started telling me that I looked "old" without it.. whaaa?! Truth hurts, I guess. So now, it's part of my make-up routine too! Splurge on Clinique & Save on Maybelline Pure Stay

Mascara is basically my best friend. My eyelashes are pretty much non-existant until I put this Godly creation on & then BAM, I've got eyelashes for days. I won't wear make-up if I can't wear my mascara! Splurge on Christian Dior - Dior Show & Save on Maybelline Colossal Volume 

Eyeliner is one of my favorite products because you can do so much with it! It never fails that if I don't wear any, my boyfriend will ask me, "Why aren't you wearing the stuff that makes you look exotic?" Oooh la la! Splurge on MAC Graphblack & Save on Revlon Colorstay

I've always got a good lip balm on me, whether or not I'm wearing make-up that day or not. I hate having chapped lips (I mean, who does anyway?) and I like a glossy look on my lips. Splurge on B&BW C.O. Bigelow "My Favorite Lip Balm" & Save on Burt's Bees Chapstick 

There ya have it ladies, my make-up regimen is pretty low key & simple, right? Are any of these your favorite products too? Feel free to stop by my blog and say hi! :)

I used to use Clinique, I should go back. Right now I just use Cetaphil. But Maybelline Mascara is my FAVE!

I first started using Clinique moisturizer when I got it as a sample with otehr stuffs- it's awesome! I'm definitely going to try that eyeliner- I'm always searching for one that will stay on all day and not wind up melting off my face. And I love both of those lip balms- they both feel tingly and smelly minty!

Michelle said...

That maybelline mascara is the only one I use!!! And I have really wanted to try that clinique moisturizer...I will go get some ASAP!

I love the Clinque moisturizer! My only gripe with it is that it doesn't have SPF. Otherwise, it's amazing.

And anything by Mac is awesome! Loooove their products.
