Favorite High End Products

Hey Loves! After I wrapped up my top beauty and makeup products under $20 dollars I figured I would share you loves my favorite high end products that are over $20 dollars. There are some makeup and beauty items that are worth the splurge. I have included beauty and makeup items together. The items are in no particular order:


  1. Smashbox Studio Skin 15 Hour Wear Hydrating Foundation- I have gone through 2 bottles of this foundation. If you are looking for medium coverage without thickness and a light weight feel then this is for you. I love how long wearing this foundation can be but I do not find it overly hydrating. Available at Sephora or Ultra for around $42.
  2. Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum- This is another Holy Grail product that has I swear has kept my hair in amazing shape even after all the coloring, bleaching, and heat styling I do. This is a light weight serum that doesn't weigh your hair down but keeps your hair feeling smooth and silky all day. You can get this at Salons or Ulta for around $22 and up depending on the size. 
  3. Sephora Instant Moisturizer- I first heard about this from Emilie Clarke on YouTube. I have gone through several jars. This is a light weight moisturizer that soaks in quickly without being greasy. I am always on the hunt for a good facial lotion that doesn't have all those acne products in them.There is also a formula with SPF. Available only at Sephora for $22. 
  4. MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural - Another Holy Grail setting powder. This is actually has the coverage of a powder foundation and leaves your skin looking soft and flawless. I love to use this to make my foundation extra long wearing. Available only at MAC Stores or online for $32. I wear shade Medium. 
  5. Kenra Platinum Blow Dry Spray- Oh My! This is a newer product in my hair routine- I have been using this for probably 4 months. I usually spray this on damp hair after showering because not only is a heat protector this cuts your blow drying time in half. Seriously, if you have longer hair you know how long blow drying can take-you need this product in your life. Available at drugstores and Ulta for around $22 depending on size. 
  6. Benefit Hoola Bronzer- I am always on the hunt for a good matte bronzer that does not look muddy on the skin. I love using this to contour and as an all over bronzer. I feel like this takes me forever to hit pan on because a lot goes along way. Available at Ulta or Sephora for $28. 
  7. Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation- This has the fullest coverage available I think for a foundation. You can sheer out by using a beauty blender or mixing with foundation or moisturizer.  I like to wear this for special occasions where I want to look super flawless. Long wearing and great for oily skin. Available at Sephora for $34. 
  8. Benefit POREfessional - If you have oily skin or large pores this is the primer for you. Ever since I started applying under my foundation my skin has never looked better or foundation that has lasted this long. Available at Sephora and Ulta for around $30. Separate review here
  9. Sigma Brushes- These are only available online or at Mall of America but some single brushes are under $20 but buying these brushes in sets is a better deal. I feel like these are amazing quality and stand up to a lot of use without fraying or falling apart. My favorite is the F80 Flat Top Kabuki brush which retails for $21. ***hint coupon codes are all over youtube for 10%-20% off orders***
  10. theBalm Cabana Boy Blush- I have only tried this shade in theBalm blushes but I am super impressed with the pigmentation and staying power. This shade is a deep coral with some shimmer-a little goes a long way. This is available at Sephora and Ulta for $21 but I actually purchased mine off Hautelook for $12-always make sure to shop around
  11. Urban Decay Naked Palettes- I own all 4 of the Naked Palettes- Naked, Naked 2, Naked 3, and Naked Basics. These palettes range from $28-$50 dollars at Ulta or Sephora. They are a great deal for the number of shadows and quality. Great pigmentation. 
Hopefully after you had reviewed all of my favorite products from inexpensive to expensive you will be able to find a few new favorites for your own collection! I love sharing with all of you. What are some of your favorite high end products?
