I am a bit of a beauty junkie. Makeup, skincare, haircare, I love it all. I have an entire section of our office devoted to beauty products, or as my husband refers to it: My Sephora. It is more likely that on any shopping trip I will come home with at least one beauty product. So today I wanted to share some of my favorite beauty brands and the products I love!
Favorite Beauty Brands (And The Products I Love)
Fresh: I have so many products from Fresh that I love. The Soy Face Cleanser, The Rose Toner, The Rose Serum, The Rose Eye Cream, and the Sugar Lip Balm.
Tata Harper: I am new to Tata Harper products. They sent me some a few months ago and the ones I love are the Purifying Cleanser, Be True Lip Balm, and the Resurfacing Mask.
Origins: The soothing souffle body lotion is seriously one of my daily MUST have products! I also love the renewal serum with willowherb. It makes my skin so soft! Lately at night I have been using Origins Night-A-Mins as my moisturizer.
Glossier: I have drank the koolaid on glossier. It started with the boy brow which is my absolutely favorite brow product. Then I bought the milk jelly cleanser. But the mascara is probably one of the best mascaras I have EVER USED!
Maybelline: I love the dream pure BB cream. It’s one I repurchase over and over again. I also purchase the Instant Age Rewind concealer over and over.
Tarte: The main thing I use from Tarte is the shape tape concealer. This is the one I use mostly when I am doing a full face of makeup. I also LOVE the Tarte blushes!
NARS: NARS makes so many great products. I love the Orgasm Blush, The Laguna Bronzer, and the Illuminator.
Physicians Formula: The butter bronzer is THE BEST drugstore bronzer.
La Mer: The soft cream is worth the splurge as is the lip balm.
Kopari: I love love love Kopari products. The lip glossy is one I wear almost daily, the coconut melt can be used for a ton of different things from your face to your hair, and the coconut toner is so refreshing for summer.
First Aid Beauty: So many great FAB products to rave about. I love the oatmeal mask, the sleeping cream, daily moisturizer with SPF, and the CC cream. This is actually the CC cream I use most days!
It Cosmetics: I swear by their CC cream. I try to rotate between this and the other two mentioned. I also LOVE their superhero mascara and tons of their skincare products. My favorite are the confidence in an eye cream, the face cleanser, and the secret sauce.
Beyond the products I have mentioned before I started getting facials last August. They have completely changed my skin! I go to Fresh Faces in Dallas. AMAZING! Recently I had an enzyme facial. HOLY COW! Y’all you need to try this. Dallas friends go to Fresh Faces and let Marilee do her magic! The enzyme facial took a bit of time and literally feels like cement is drying on your face but when it comes off your skin feels brand new! I have extremely sensitive skin and had zero reactions. It’s incredible! This is the exact facial and more about it!
So those are my favorite beauty brands and the products I love for each! They all get my seal of approval if you’ve been looking to try anything new!

IT Cosmetics is probably the best THING ever! I love it!
We have very similar tastes! I’ve been using the Physician’s Formula Bronze Butter and Nars blush in Orgasm forever! Kopari is my new obsession thanks to a sample of the shower scrub I received. I need to try First Aid Beauty.
What great brands! I haven’t heard of some of these but others I have. Maybelline is the best for sure. I never get tired of using it!

I think we might be beauty soulmates because I agree on everything and own 98% is these lol
I’m so with you… love trying new things. Can you believe I haven’t tried Butter Bronzer yet, even though I always hear such good things!!!
girl get on it! It’s the best!
I love the Tape Shape as well as the It CC cream. I also really like the Benefit “they’re real!” mascara and my Fenty foundation.
I love these ideas for beauty brands. I am tired of my old school cover up to be honest. I need a better foundation and some up to date beauty products!
I laughed at the your own personal Sephora comment. I haven’t had the opportunity to try most of those brands or products. Being a lover of lip gloss I am now curious about the Kopari, I’ve not heard of them before.
I really want to try the Sugar lip balm. And my mom and sister both love the Orgasm Blush from NARS.

Thanks for sharing your favs! There are some great brands here that I definitely need to try.
I always wanted to splurge on La Mer, this is pushing me to do it!
LOVE NARS! This is one brand that I’ll always look at purchasing.
I’ve been mostly happy with Physicians Formula and Maybelline. I would like to try the mentioned Origins products.
I swear by the La Mer gel moisturizer and always have the lip balm with me. I also love the origins rose hips skincare line. It’s rejuvenating! You should try the new Marc Jacobs lip gloss sticks. I love them, too!
These are such great beauty products! I’m so checking these out!
Thank you so much. I just put up this “sticky-post” to test out. Many people have sidebar blindness so I want to see what is working best for this blog. Thanks so much again.
I’m looking forward to trying some of these! I love Origins products 🙂
