Je t'adore. My Favorite Beauty Products

Even if your bathroom is overflowing with beauty supplies and makeup and looks like a department store cosmetic counter, I'm sure there are a handful of products you can't live without. Over the years I feel like I've tried just about everything whether it's drugstore brand or designer, but here are the beauty products I always keep close by.

Kiehl's Ultimate Hand Salve

Kiehl's Ultimate Hand Salve - $19.50 at Nieman Marcus.

Seriously, who wants dry cracked hands? Definitely not me... that's why I love Kiehl's Ultimate Hand Salve. It nourishes hands without leaving them feeling greasy and the fragrance isn't overpowering like hand lotions. This is one product I always carry with me, especially during the winter months.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion - $17 at Urban Decay.

No creasing or clumping like a lot of other primers. This is the only product I've ever used that keeps my eyeshadow looking amazing all day long. I know it's a bit pricey, but it's worth it! A lot of products say they're long lasting, but this one actually means it.

Clinique Brush-On Cream Eyeliner

Clinique Brush-On Cream Eyeliner - $12.50 at Sephora.

I've never found a pencil liner that lasted all day and I never quite figured out liquid liner. Cream eyeliner is the best of both worlds. It's easy to apply, doesn't drip and you get a long lasting, waterproof and dramatic look. If you want multiple colors, I suggest getting Stila's Smudge Pot Collection (also available at Sephora).

Rosebud Salve

Rosebud Perfume Co. Rosebud Salve - $6 at drugstore.com.

If you want to cure cracked chapped lips or if you just want super soft lips Rosebud Salve is amazing and unlike Carmex, it smells great. The vintage style tin is adorable and you can even use the salve on dry skin or sunburns. This stuff never leaves my handbag!

Cetaphil

Cetaphil - $8 at Walgreen's.

Cetaphil is definitely one of the products I could never live without. It's extremely gentle and great for all skin types. My dermatologist first introduced me to Cetaphil products years ago and I haven't used another cleanser since. Another reason I love their cleanser is because you can use it as a makeup remover without water.

What are some of your beauty must haves?

Must Have Jewelry: Marika King

Have you ever seen a piece of jewelry and thought "Oh my. I have to have that!"?? Well that's exactly how I feel whenever I see anything Marika King. Every piece is a mixture of vintage inspired and fashion forward. It's girly, sophisticated, classic, precious and most important, actually affordable. I always seem to fall in love with jewelry and accessories that are way beyond my price range, so finding Marika King was a breath of fresh air.

If a piece is super cute and has a deer (or sea horse) on it, I'm immediately in love. This necklace is no exception. The $56 price tag isn't too bad either.

I'm also completely obsessed with the Vue Due Paris Cuff ($80).

Check out the website for more... I bet you'll find at least a half dozen things you need to own.
